TAKING A $400,000 CADILLAC TO EREWHON FOR A $14 SMOOTHIE

EV Channels Review

The Cadillac Celestiq is presented as an ultra-luxury, bespoke EV aiming to rival Rolls-Royce. The reviewer highlights its striking "Carolina Blue" exterior and "Cinnamon" interior with "white herringbone wood trim," emphasizing the $400,000 price tag. While acknowledging the car's unique proportions, stunning design, and premium materials (everything that looks like metal, feels like metal), the reviewer notes it doesn't quite match Rolls-Royce's "wafty" ride quality from the back seat, though it offers a superior ride to most other non-Rolls-Royce luxury sedans. The reviewer praises the customizable electrochromic roof and the overall special feeling of the interior, but points out the use of some carryover GM parts like screens and turn signals, suggesting physical buttons would enhance the luxury. Performance is described as linear, with up to 750 horsepower available in "Velocity Max mode," and the steering is noted as good in sport mode. The reviewer concludes that the Celestiq is a unique, head-turning halo car that elevates the Cadillac brand, though its exclusivity and build-to-order nature make it a more involved purchase than a Rolls-Royce.
