    Cadillac chatbot decoder ring?

    If you want the numeric status code you have to ask for a human advisor so they can pull up your order. A LOT of the status codes map to the same chatbot response so you have to ask a human. It's the same thing your dealer salesperson can do.

    CT4-V What Don't You Like About Your CT4-V Blackwing

    Just a couple nits to pick so far: The manual says opening just the rear windows can create a pulsing sound. I thought it would be annoying but whatever. Actually it's super loud. I don't know if the ANC system gets involved but it's definitely not something most could stand. I will need to get...

    MY2026 - What is the ordering process like?

    You put in an order with your dealer. It sits in the system until the dealer gets an allocation. At that time there may be options that are on "constraint." You either drop those options from your order or wait for the next allocation and hope the constraints are lifted. Check the GM order codes...

    Pics of your Blackwing in regular parking spots

    First real drive after taking delivery yesterday. Hasn't been to the detailer yet so it's got all the dirt from Michigan and points East on it still. It is incredibly hard to stay within break in limits...

    Order bank open date 2025 CT5V BW?

    I've posted this elsewhere with links, but it's clear the new administration doesn't want to pay the $500M grant for GM to convert East Lansing to an EV only plant. Additionally GM sold it's stake in a nearby battery plant and other battery plants in Michigan are closing down. The market just...

    Shopping for CT4VBW as a DD/Track car (Maryland)

    Consumables and repairs should be more reasonable on a GM car.

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

    Thanks for doing the math. The thing that still blows up the value proposition for EVs is that after 4-5 years you'll need a new battery. Unless things change, that new battery tends to cost at least as much as a new EV sometimes multiples of a new EV. Maybe being able to repurpose your old...

    Engine Failure

    Yeah this blog post goes into more detail. Apparently the 0W-40 is just for engines that are at risk due to contamination or manufacturing defects. https://gmauthority.com/blog/2025/05/should-you-use-0w-40-oil-in-your-non-recalled-gm-6-2l-l87-engine/

    Can't be a whole lot worse than old man in jorts with white new balance sneakers the Vette community has to contend with. ;)

    CT5-V My own Pre-delivery checklist

    sounds like a great way to pay more for an even longer ride at the goat rodeo.

    Engine Failure

    You're probably on to something. GM likely doesn't want to pay to get the entire fleet retested with 0W-40 as standard even though 0W-20 contributed to a ton of engine failures.

    CT4 limited production of 50 units

    They must be snorting their lunches because the only "marketing" they seem to have done for either of the CT4 or CT5 since launched is to let a bunch of YouTubers drive them. That may be how you reach a modern audience, but they're missing an entire segment that still primarily consumes...
