What "don't" you like about your BW"?

[Tony Cadillacs]

It's not a Halo car, never has been. See Celestiq for that crown. It's the 4th and so far best version of the worlds greatest hooning saloon. So ya spent $140k on a car and buying a $15 SD card is MAJOR thing? That is so far down in the weeds that I would expect you to complain the version they did give you (if they did) was not enough gigs or not your preferred brand.

Take it easy on the guy, for all we know he had to sell his body on the streets to buy the car.

Hmm….Cadillac’s initiative when they started the V-Series was to get a younger demographic buying the cars. Mission accomplished. The top V car is the CT5-V Blackwing. The brand’s HALO, I’m not the first to call it that and I won’t be the last, until the release of the Celestiq. They got younger and now they want to go niche & elite. It’s a budget move to not include the card. The money isn’t the point. They could easily have included and upped the price of the PDR by $15 and nobody would’ve batted an eye. The point is that they sell an expensive car w/an option that won’t work until their customer who just dropped a big chunk of change on one of their cars has to go out and buy an SD card. That’s like not adding refrigerant to the AC system. There’s no logical reason for it except to save money. And why would you inconvenience a customer that just spent almost 2X the national average annual salary on a car? Before you yanmer on about you could just order it and have it sent to your door the next day by Amazon, which I did, the point the you missed is if you care about your customers you don’t do something like that if you want to be considered an elite auto manufacturer. Which is what they’re going for w/the Celstiq.

I just got a not inexpensive CD transport today and was shocked it didn’t come with a single music CD. What’s the world coming to. You can buy a $10K Leica camera, and you guessed it, no SD card. Still not getting the point, other than your expectations were not met. Hope your car is not one that will blow a motor.

I see the stampede of keyboard cowboys got loose from their mother’s basement. Have you fun boys. If this is what you have to do to feel good about yourself then go ahead. Troll away.

Mine came with all the needed and properly functioning SD cards and it wasn't even a BW. They were put in so soon that I have recordings of it going through dealer prep. A good dealer does that for you (Sewell FTW).

They must not do that for everyone as mine from Sewell didn't come with an SD card.

Man, this thread has really taken a turn. Lights that turn on, seats that cool or heat when you start up, no SD cards, oh my.

I'm very thankful....no, blessed....to be able to have one of these magnificent machines. My only complain is fuel range and turning radius for a u turn. All easily resolved with some planning.

I can’t argue w/you about Sewell. There’s a reason they’re the biggest Cadillac dealer in the country. Models other than the BW have PDRs?

My 22 non-BW 5V came with the PDR included in the Nav pkg. Same through 2024, but became a stand alone option in 2025 when the dash changed. It's one of the perks that I am still appreciating. Love replaying the scenic drive videos and analyzing telematics with the Cosworth software.

Maybe a Dustin Callaway (@1StunnaV) thing.
