“Revenge of the Electric Car”

There are a lot of dealers smack talking the Volt and ELR. Many refuse to carry it, and some of those that do will put them under a tarp and let them rot.
The owners I have spoken to love the ELR. I haven’t spoken with any of the CT6 owners yet.

 

Cadillac as a brand has the ability to take charge of the EV market, their designs are works of art. It's the 1950's all over again for caddy designs.

 

This is not unique to Cadillac. SouthEast Toyota doesn't even carry the Prime and they are not alone.

If you want a good read, look for The Car That Could by Michael Shnayerson. It's a book about the creation of the EV1 and all the infighting behind it and it is not a GM fluff piece. I just picked up a copy of it.

Here's a review of the book that I found in of all places, the Tesla discussion board.

cadillac will never 'take charge' of the ev market.

 

That's a shocking statement!

 

I wouldn't mind picking up an ELR.

 

that would make 2 sales.

 

ELR is a pretty rare car. Only 17 sold in 2017.

 

yep, really making a dent.

 

And Cadillac is selling more plug-ins than Lexus.

 

no argument there. even a man in the desert appreciates a drop of water.

 

Not sure what your point is? Lexus/Toyota were smart on sitting on the side lines. Once Toyota comes out with a true plug in, the public will want one.

 

i do.

 

ELR price must be dropping, since no one bought them to start with.

 

i don't care.

 

waiting for toyota to get off the schneid.

 

I think you and I are the only peps on Priuschat today! Happy 4th!!

 

same to you! too hot here for anything else.

 

I hear ya our heatwave is coming this weekend.
