Cadillac Escalade electric: Tesla Killer!

[kpanda17]

Imagine a big family of rhe future
2x CTs or Escalades, want concurrent charging at 160 amps
Think they exist today as 2x ICE families $200 a week in gas
That along with outlawing our natural gas use, will def drive 350 amp services
Grest time to be an Electrican

The worst thing that should happen is you trip the main breaker long before anything overheats or catches fire - that's why it is there.

According to Murphy's law - anything that can go wrong will go wrong. Hence, your electrical device (a Tesla charger) is made with a goal to protect the circuit breaker.

Don’t these things rollover easily? Model Y, X, or Cybertruck would be safer.

Assuming they place the battery where Tesla does, rollover stops being an issue.

Uhoh the new Escalade is electric, and is being referred to as a Tesla Killer. They’ll sell maybe 20,000 a year with enormous 200kW-hr batteries. How is this going to kill Tesla — will they die laughing or something?

Wouldn’t Cadillac be included in the all of GM decision to move to NACS for 2025 in car, and late 2024 with CCS to NACS adaptor?

Yes for Supercharger access and adapter but not enough time to switch the current CCS port design to NACS just yet.

The Escalade IQ won't have a NACS port at launch, but owners will receive an adaptor to use with Tesla Superchargers

Yeah, I would guess that a 2025 model, delivered in 2024, wouldn’t. But, maybe they’ll reconfigure for the 2026 model, delivered in 2025. TWT
