I reserved one. At first glance I was freaked out by the overall look, but checking out the interior, bed, and powered bed cover, I'm kind of liking what I'm seeing. It's coming at an interesting transition for me. When I bought my Model X in 2016, we had twin infants and the falcon wing doors are a huge help to get the kids buckled into their car seats. It has been great for a daily driver and road trips. I've always recognized that it's a people hauler more than a stuff hauler. We can't fit our bikes in it. I can't fit taller things in the trunk. The 7 seats limit the length of things I can take.
Now that my kids are older, and when they truck possible comes out in a few years, I won't need the falcon wing doors to buckle car seat belts. I will need to be able to carry four bikes. The truck bed under storage will and possible yet unseen frunk will still let me daily drive (getting groceries and small things). The powered cover will let us throw luggage in the back and take road trips with ease and I can open it up to carry tall things.
The things I'll need to see developed are the lack of side mirrors for trailer hauling. I think physical mirrors are still an NHTSA requirement? Cadillac has a camera mirror, but also acts as an optical mirror when turned off. I'll need to see pocket storage for the rear seats, missing from the prototype. I'll be interested in seeing front occupant storage. The front center seat folds down and turns into the arm rest so I don't think cup/phone storage is in there. I'm still not 100% on the overall exterior design because I'm not a flashy guy, but it does look cool. Will I be able to retract the cover when there's ice on it? I can brush off snow, but how does it handle little pieces (or sheets) of ice? I won't be able to aggressively scrape it like a windshield. Maybe it will be heated? In short, this ticks off a lot of boxes for me that my Model X doesn't. It's a no brainer to reserve at 100 bucks compared to the 5k I shelled out sight unseen for my X.
