I can no longer edit my post or reply to it .. Here are two more bummers:
I wish it had a rear window wiper - it's always got water droplets on it in Washington state
No hands-free trunk release w/ carbon fiber diffuser
Human factors design is so interesting .. I’m 6’4” and proportional and they’re perfect for me. You did remind me the steering wheel doesn’t adjust back toward the driver enough for me though. Cheers!
7000 miles since January 2024 on a CT5-BW. I got it with 6 miles on the odo. Cross-country trips, regional runs, and a couple track days so far. No real dislikes but here are a few things I've noticed:
The gas tank is way too small
I outrun my headlights at night - even with brights on, they...
Anyone know if the startup sequence can be disabled? All else looks good and the design and turn signal display matches the Lyriq and also other competitors out there so I'm interested. But the startup sequence is too boy-racer and doesn't fit the character of Cadillac to me .. Let me know!
I'm 6'4" 225#s. My dad's 6'4" 290#s. We don't fit in Miatas, Corvettes, etc. etc. Our CT5-V BW high-performance seats were fantastic on our 4500 mi. road trip and I disagree w/ C&D. I didn't plan on the seat upgrade, we just sort of .. ended up with it. The seats are still awesome today. I have...
How/were you maintaining it? It reads the issues are being resolved - how is this related to lemon laws when 2-3X failures and X/time at a dealership (depending on state) is required? Also do you baby it or flog it or in-between? Honest questions, please lmk.

Has anyone installed aux lights on their CT5-V Blackwing? I keep outdriving my lights.... Even the brights. I plan to install a lightbar and/or 2 aux driving lights because of it.
I'd like to wire the lights so it turns on with the brights. Has anyone already worked through this and does anyone...
Check this out: Fuse Box Diagram Cadillac CT5 (2020-2022)
Also if the dimming isn't working, make sure you don't have a dashcam or radar detector or anything in the windshield. I fought with the rearview mirrors until we realized either of those things near it causes interference and/or issues...
In order:
1957 Chevy

For 1.5 years I had a CT5-V Blackwing order in at two dealerships while staying consistent watching in-transit flow from...
That’s pretty sweet and I admire all car culture, but no, more subtle. 🤣
My worst-case is me needing to get out of a situation, popping a tire if a curb’s hopped etc., and having the car on wheel only. So whatever might help there.
It's sounding like 20” run-flats are it. 0.5-1” lift springs...
Has anyone put remote start on their manual transmission blackwings? Anyone know of an aftermarket or vehicle control unit hack solution?
The setting to heat the steering wheel or heat/cool the seats based on initial temp is nice. Remote start would be better.
