Lemme guess; this thing is going to weigh 10,000 pounds

The Cadillac ESCALADE IQ will be revealed later this year and promises the same commitment to craftsmanship, technology and performance that has helped the Escalade nameplate dominate the large luxury SUV segment for the last 20 years. The ESCALADE IQ will join the LYRIQ and the upcoming CELESTIQ as Cadillac continues to build an all-electric portfolio.

The IQ naming strategy celebrates Cadillac introducing a different type of EV to the market — one that works in tandem with people’s daily lives and environments. The IQ designation is Cadillac’s EV nomenclature and first debuted on the LYRIQ.

I dont think buyers think about the weight, never crosses their minds. What is going to start happening. People will go to a show and cant park in the parking deck because their SUV weighs 10k and the deck already reached the weight limit on first floor parking with EVs. We already had this issue at my work office deck. They placed a charger on a top floor and a set of engineers said either move them or limit how many EV cars are up there.

I can see the Karen-rage intensifying and cell phone video footage of the meltdowns now

It's certainly not surprising that Cadillac engineers are out testing the Escalade IQ considering that it's going to get a full debut before the end of this year.
