    Is this what buying a car is like these days?!

    Yes. If you are buying in Ca you don't need to worry about anything - you can ignore my comment entirely. If, however, you decide to expand your search out of state you need to add those RPO codes to your order or you'll never be able to register the car in California. (I have found it...

    Blackwing Order Tracking - 2023 Model Year

    My CT5 must be one of the few to beat the EDD. Dealer just sent me pictures - it's been delivered. You can take me off the list. For reference, order was placed on 2/11 and car was delivered on 4/28.

    Blackwing Order Tracking - 2023 Model Year

    Cadillac.com Build your car and search local inventory. If your car has been built you'll find your car can click on "vehicle details" to get the VIN and window sticker and EDD. My dealer has told me practically nothing. Last communication from my dealer was that the build was accepted for...

    Blackwing Order Tracking - 2023 Model Year

    I'm curious why all the EDDs are delayed. A couple of us are at 4200 (shipped) but the tracker shows delayed. Cadillac's website shows my EDD as 5/10. I have no idea how accurate that date is though. I'm traveling and wonder when I actually need to be back to pick up the car. Thanks for...

    Is this what buying a car is like these days?!

    The only way you can buy out of state (once you find a willing dealer) and register the car in California if you are the original purchaser is if you special order California emissions. (To bring a non ca emissions vehicle in you need to be the second or later owner (and converting a lease...

    2024 MY Cadillac CT4-V / CT5-V Blackwing - What's New!

    C Carbon seat backs are on constraint, so if you order the highest seats you may never get a car. Now you can order the high-end leather and delete the CF seat backs and get a car without holding up your order forever. Presumably they'll have the suede seat backs from the mid-level seats...

    Is this what buying a car is like these days?!

    Get on the list at Sewell. It's free and there's no commitment. If your current dealer eventually gets you a car, contact Sewell and ask to be removed. Also call every dealer you'd be willing to buy a car from and find out their terms. Most will ask for a REFUNDABLE deposit, so get out your...

    EV Thoughts Thread: cause the old farts did their usual thing

    I was genuinely trying to understand you use case. Frequent 200 mile round trips would indeed be a reason to get a 400 mile range. For me, I have a 10 mile commute (although I mostly work from home now). I can charge at home and a 500 mile range would last me months (I know because I fill up...

    EV Thoughts Thread: cause the old farts did their usual thing

    https://spectrum.ieee.org/the-ev-transition-explained Above is something like a 13 part series (from the trade magazine of the professionals' that have the most to gain from the EV transition - electrical engineers). It's a couple of hours of reading. There is a lot to digest here, and...

    EV Thoughts Thread: cause the old farts did their usual thing

    Curious why range is so important to you? Can you charge at home? Do you drive cross country frequently? Clearly I'm not the EV makers intended audience. But a lightweight EV that is fun to drive and has 50 or 100 mile range makes a lot of sense to me. I can charge at home and a 40 mile...

    Media dumps

    That's exactly what management at Ford and GM think - the Ford CEO in particular talks about how they don't have the skills to make EVs. In my mind, an EV is an IC car with a simpler powertrain. Suspension, interior, driving dynamics, manufacturing, sales, parts support, etc are the same. NVH is...

    2023 Build Out and 2024 Start of Production Dates

    Thanks. The terminology is new to me. What is a "DSOP" cycle vs a "concensus" cycle?

    2023 Build Out and 2024 Start of Production Dates

    What if you have an older in (1100?), but your dealer doesn't have an allocation yet? What is the last day that order could be accepted for a '23 (and avoid the MSRP increase)?

    2023 Build Out and 2024 Start of Production Dates

    I attempted to do the math on the cafe fines (they are civil penalties) and estimated $2-3k per 5 Blackwing. I assume they simply add that to the MSRP (just like the gas guzzler tax). Whatever the increased fine is for' 24, I assume they'll adjust the MSRP accordingly as it seems the market will...

    Is that the bronze or regular style rim?
