Living With A $105,000 Range Rover Sport PHEV!
The Range Rover Sport PHEV (P460E Dynamic SE) offers a compelling blend of luxury, comfort, and capability, particularly excelling in inclement weathe... morer. The reviewer highlights its smooth, quiet all-electric operation for daily commutes and the confidence-inspiring performance in snow and messy conditions, living up to the Land Rover badge. Interior materials and design are praised for their premium feel, though the infotainment system's occasional glitches, specifically with CarPlay connectivity and a slightly wobbly screen, detract from the otherwise luxurious experience. While the plug-in hybrid powertrain provides ample power (454 hp) and good efficiency (averaging around 40 MPG), the reviewer notes it leans more towards luxury than outright sportiness, suggesting the optional handling packs or V8 variants for a more dynamic feel. The slow home charging (25+ hours for a full charge) is a drawback, though fast charging is limited by the vehicle's intake. Overall, it's a comfortable, capable, and well-appointed SUV, but potential buyers should be aware of the tech quirks. less
Living With A Chevy Silverado EV! Real World Winter Test
The reviewer spent a week with the Chevrolet Silverado EV LT in harsh Michigan winter conditions, finding it to be a capable, albeit ponderous, electr... moreic truck. While the extended range battery pack offers a significant buffer, real-world range in freezing temperatures (9-14°F) dropped to an estimated 60-70% of its rated capacity, yielding around 300 miles instead of the advertised 400+. The reviewer highlighted the impressive Super Cruise system and the practicality of the front trunk and multiflex tailgate. However, the LT trim's lack of air suspension and rear-wheel steering was noted as a significant drawback, impacting maneuverability and ride comfort, especially given the truck's substantial weight and size. The reviewer also pointed out the absence of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on this trim, relying instead on the integrated Google system, which proved functional but less preferred by some. Despite its heft and the cold-weather range reduction, the Silverado EV LT is presented as a more conventional and practical electric truck option compared to some competitors, particularly the Tesla Cybertruck. less
Is The $54,000 Cadillac Optiq The Best One?
The Cadillac Optiq positions itself as the 'gateway' to Cadillac's EV lineup, offering a distilled version of the Lyriq's premium ... moreexperience in a smaller, sportier package. The reviewer highlights its sleek exterior design, aggressive rake for aerodynamics, and distinctive lighting signatures. Inside, the cabin impresses with high-quality materials, including recycled wool and "paper wood," complemented by a large 33-inch curved display and standard Super Cruise. Positives include the comfortable seats with heating/cooling and massage functions, a quiet cabin due to double-laminated glass, and a competitive starting price of $54,000 with standard AWD and an 85 kWh battery offering an estimated 302 miles of range. However, the Optiq falls short in headroom for taller passengers and lacks a front trunk, a common EV feature. The acceleration is described as more gradual than some competitors, and the steering in sport mode was not favored. Despite these points, the reviewer concludes the Optiq offers good value, especially with standard features like Super Cruise and the AKG sound system, making it a compelling option for those seeking a luxurious, tech-filled, and stylish entry into Cadillac's electric future. less
Here's Why The Cadillac Escalade IQ Is Worth $150,000
The Cadillac Escalade IQ represents the brand's ambitious entry into the full-size electric luxury SUV segment, aiming to distill the Escalade et... morehos into an electrified platform. The reviewer highlights its impressive 460-mile range, largely due to its massive 205 kWh battery pack, and a powerful 750 horsepower output in 'Velocity Max' mode, achieving 0-60 mph in 4.7 seconds. Luxury and technology are paramount, with features like the 55-inch pillar-to-pillar display, executive second-row seating with massage functions, and a staggering 38-speaker AKG sound system (42 with the executive package).
However, the Escalade IQ is not without its criticisms. While maneuverable for its size thanks to rear-wheel steering and adaptive air suspension, the reviewer notes that the immense weight (around 9,000 lbs) is still palpable over rough roads, and it lacks the outright fun and visceral excitement of the Escalade V. The lack of a sunshade for the panoramic glass roof is also a minor drawback. Despite its hefty starting price of $130,000 (and easily reaching $170,000+ with options), the Escalade IQ carves out its own niche, offering a unique blend of extreme luxury, cutting-edge tech, and substantial range for those seeking the ultimate electric executive experience. less

Living With A Gen 2 Rivian R1T
The reviewer provides an in-depth look at the Gen 2 Rivian R1T, highlighting its significant technological advancements under the skin, including a ne... morew zonal architecture and a more powerful computing platform for driver assistance. While the exterior and interior styling remain largely similar to the Gen 1, the reviewer praises the improved camera resolution, enhanced driver assist features, and the impressive Unreal Engine-powered infotainment system. The "Performance Dual Motor" trim, while quick with 600 hp and 3.4-second 0-60 time, is noted as not being the top-tier performance option, with the Tri-motor and Quad-motor variants promising even more power. The all-terrain tires are found to be noisy on the road, suggesting the road-focused tires might be a better choice for most users. The reviewer also touches on the practicality of the truck, including the front trunk and gear tunnel, but personally leans towards the R1S for daily usability. Overall, the Gen 2 R1T is seen as a refined and appealing package, especially for those considering a Rivian, though the changes might be incremental for existing Gen 1 owners. less
The Coolest Cars Coming In 2025 | Chicago Auto Show
The 2025 Chicago Auto Show showcased a diverse range of upcoming vehicles, with a strong emphasis on performance and enthusiast models. Highlights inc... moreluded the extreme Ford Mustang GTD Spirit of America, a race car for the road with impressive aerodynamics and limited production. The video also touched upon other Ford variants like the EcoBoost convertible and the Dark Horse, noting their performance capabilities and pricing. Beyond Ford, the show featured the new Toyota 4Runner, the stylish Kia K4 and EV9, and the highly anticipated electric Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, boasting a staggering 1,640 horsepower. The Lucid Gravity SUV and Rivian's R2 and R3X models were also prominent, signaling continued innovation in the EV space. While many manufacturers are focusing on electrification and advanced technology, the show also presented updated gasoline-powered options, indicating a mixed approach to future automotive trends. less
Living With An $80,000 Cadillac Lyriq AWD
The Cadillac Lyriq AWD Sport 3 trim, in its 2025 iteration, offers a compelling luxury EV experience, particularly noted for its exceptionally quiet a... morend smooth ride, living up to the Cadillac badge. The interior is a standout, praised for its high-quality materials, unique design elements like the cut-out wood trim with ambient lighting, and comfortable features including heated, cooled, and massage seats. The reviewer highlights the pressure-sensitive regen paddle as an enjoyable and engaging driving feature, and Super Cruise is confirmed to work effectively for hands-free driving. However, the vehicle is not without its significant drawbacks. The reviewer experienced recurring electronic glitches and "gremlins," including a "service high voltage system" warning and charging issues, mirroring problems from a previous RWD Lyriq test. Cold weather significantly impacts range, with efficiency dropping to around 1.8-1.9 miles per kWh. The lack of a functional front trunk is also noted as a disappointment. Despite these issues, the reviewer suggests the Lyriq can be a good option for those seeking a unique luxury EV interior and brand appeal, but strongly recommends leasing due to ongoing technological advancements and potential out-of-warranty repair concerns. less
Living With A $107,000 GMC Hummer EV SUV
The GMC Hummer EV SUV is presented as an "over-the-top," "ridiculous," and "hilariously excessive" electric super SUV, d... moreesigned for drama rather than practicality. The reviewer highlights its immense size, aggressive styling, and unique features like "Watts to Freedom" and "Crabwalk" as key selling points, emphasizing its "Halo product" status. While acknowledging its impressive off-road capabilities, particularly with the extreme off-road package, and the convenience of Super Cruise, the review is heavily critical of its abysmal efficiency, averaging around 1.2 miles per kWh on the highway, leading to significant charging costs (over $200 for a 300-mile trip) and the need for multiple charging stops. A major drawback encountered was a critical vehicle fault leading to a "charge port failed" error, necessitating a vehicle swap. Despite its impracticality and high cost, the reviewer concludes that for those seeking "drama" and a "fun choice" over a "responsible" one, the Hummer EV delivers an unforgettable, albeit expensive, experience. less
Is The 2025 Gmc Sierra Ev Denali Worth $100k?
The 2025 GMC Sierra EV Denali is presented as a more luxurious and refined alternative to its Chevrolet Silverado EV counterpart, though mechanically ... moreidentical. The reviewer highlights its comfortable, quiet ride, enhanced by laminated glass and improved sound deadening, making it feel premium. The interior is praised for its upscale materials and design, approaching Rivian levels of luxury, though the $100,000 price point remains a significant consideration. While the truck offers impressive range figures (up to 460 miles) and advanced features like Super Cruise, its sheer size and weight are palpable, with some body roll and a slightly lumbering feel on rougher pavement, exacerbated by the large 24-inch wheels. Performance in 'Max Power' mode is strong but not class-leading, and the reviewer notes a gradual throttle response in normal modes. The unique styling, particularly the front 'shield' and illuminated logo, is generally well-received, though the rear design is considered less distinctive. The vehicle's capabilities, including its crabwalk function and surprising off-road agility, are demonstrated and enjoyed, but the high cost and large dimensions are key factors for potential buyers. less
Minivans Can Be Cool! Ft. the Kia Carnival Hybrid
The 2025 Kia Carnival Hybrid, presented as an MPV rather than a minivan, aims to redefine perceptions with its efficiency and luxury features. The rev... moreiewer highlights the new hybrid powertrain, a 1.6L turbocharged four-cylinder paired with a 6-speed automatic and electric motor, delivering a combined 242 horsepower. While acknowledging it's front-wheel drive only, the focus remains on its impressive EPA-estimated 33 MPG combined, with a theoretical range of 627 miles, and real-world observations suggesting even higher figures are achievable. The reviewer praises the "VIP lounge" second-row seating, describing it as "business class" on wheels with extensive legroom, heated/cooled functions, and entertainment screens. Exterior styling is noted for its SUV-like appearance and updated "star map" lighting. Interior technology, including dual 12.3-inch screens and numerous charging ports, is comprehensive, though the climate control interface is found to be less intuitive. Despite the "SX Prestige" trim's higher price point, the reviewer concludes that the Carnival Hybrid offers a unique, luxurious, and efficient package, particularly for those prioritizing second-row comfort over maximum cargo or passenger capacity. less
Living With A $75,000 Lucid Air Pure!!
The Lucid Air Pure RWD offers a compelling entry point into the luxury EV sedan market, starting under $70,000. The reviewer highlights its remarkable... more efficiency, with real-world consumption exceeding 4 miles per kilowatt-hour, a stark contrast to less efficient EVs. While acceleration in 'Sprint' mode is described as 'decent' and 'adequate' rather than 'crazy shove' found in higher trims like the Grand Touring or Sapphire, it's deemed more than sufficient for daily driving. The interior impresses with high-quality materials, a minimalist aesthetic, and a sophisticated dual-screen infotainment system featuring customizable themes and integrated navigation. Positives include excellent handling dynamics, a comfortable ride, and impressive range (rated at 394 miles with 20-inch wheels). Criticisms are minor, focusing on comically small cup holders and the manual closing of the front trunk on this specific trim. Overall, the Pure trim successfully distills the core strengths of the Lucid Air – driving dynamics and efficiency – into a more accessible package, making it a strong contender in its segment. less
Living With A BMW i7 M70
The BMW i7 M70 is presented as the ultimate electric flagship sedan, though its polarizing front-end styling is a significant drawback for the reviewe... morer. Despite this aesthetic concern, the interior is lauded for its exceptional technology, luxurious design, and innovative features like the theater screen and power doors. Driving dynamics are surprisingly impressive for such a large and heavy vehicle, with the M70 delivering immense torque and capable handling that belies its size. The executive rear lounge seating is highlighted as a standout feature, offering an unparalleled level of comfort and entertainment, comparable to first-class travel. While real-world range is estimated to be around 280-300 miles, the reviewer experienced no range anxiety. The primary criticisms revolve around the divisive exterior design and the steep depreciation expected for such a high-priced vehicle. However, the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive, emphasizing the i7 M70's status as a supremely comfortable, technologically advanced, and powerful luxury EV, particularly for rear-seat passengers. less
Living With A $93,000 BMW i5 M60 xDrive
The BMW i5 M60 xDrive presents a compelling, albeit expensive, package that successfully blends electric performance with the traditional 5 Series lux... moreury and driving dynamics. The reviewer highlights its striking exterior design, particularly the updated styling which avoids the more polarizing elements seen on other recent BMW models. Inside, the cabin is praised for its modern, sleek aesthetic, impressive ambient lighting, and comfortable, well-bolstered seats. The performance is a standout feature, with the "Boost" paddle delivering exhilarating acceleration and a genuine fun factor, despite the vehicle's considerable weight. However, the high price point (around $93,000 as tested) is a significant drawback, with the reviewer questioning its value proposition. Range is another area for improvement, with the stated 240 miles falling short of the reviewer's expectations and desire for a 300-mile buffer for road trips. Minor complaints include the small cup holders, the unpredictable adaptive regenerative braking requiring menu navigation, and the lack of cooled/massage seats at this price. Overall, it's a fast, luxurious, and visually appealing EV, but its cost and range limitations are notable considerations. less
Which Rivian Should I Buy?
The reviewer explores the entire Rivian lineup, focusing on the updated Gen 2 R1S and R1T, alongside the upcoming R2, R3, and R3X. The Gen 2 R1 models... more receive subtle exterior styling updates, but significant internal changes, including over 600 part updates, improved interiors with new premium options and plaid detailing, and enhanced lighting with RGB capabilities. Performance is highlighted, with the Quad Motor R1T achieving 0-60 mph in under 2.5 seconds and the R1S offering similar power. The reviewer praises the updated infotainment system with Unreal Engine graphics and improved usability, noting the elimination of the need for Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. Interior comfort and ride quality are also improved with revised suspension tuning. The R2 is presented as a smaller, more affordable option with a passive coil suspension and impressive off-road capability. The R3 and R3X are showcased as even more compact and rally-inspired, with the R3X being a particular enthusiast favorite. While the R1 models are available now, the R2 is slated for early 2026 and the R3/R3X for 2027-2028. The reviewer expresses a strong inclination towards the R3X for its enthusiast appeal but acknowledges the R2 as a more immediate and practical choice, while also considering the R1 Quad Motor for its ultimate performance if budget were no object. less
Living With A $73,000 Cadillac Lyriq | Road Trip Experience
The Cadillac LYRIQ offers a compelling luxury EV experience with its unique interior, striking design, and advanced features like Super Cruise. The re... moreviewer highlights the comfortable and futuristic cabin, praising its distinctiveness from other GM vehicles. Super Cruise is lauded as a significant benefit for long road trips, providing a genuinely hands-free driving experience for extended periods. However, the week-long test revealed notable software glitches, including infotainment screen flickering, backup camera issues, and charging station connectivity problems, which detracted from an otherwise seamless experience. While the Nimbus metallic paint and 22-inch wheels enhance its visual appeal, the reviewer expresses mixed feelings due to these persistent software bugs, despite the underlying quality of the vehicle's components and design. The charging infrastructure in Canada also presented some frustrations with multiple network accounts required. less
What It's Like To Own A Tesla Cybertruck! Ft. Salomondrin!
This video offers an in-depth look at the ownership experience of the Tesla Cybertruck Cyberbeast, featuring insights from Salomondrin. The reviewer h... moreighlights the vehicle's polarizing design, with Salomondrin embracing its 'toy-like' futuristic aesthetic, inspired by childhood sci-fi movies. He praises its spaciousness, unique features like the steer-by-wire and impressive sound system, and its capability as a daily driver, despite its unconventional looks. A significant positive is the vehicle's ability to break conventional automotive rules. However, the primary drawback mentioned is the overwhelming public attention it attracts, with people frequently stopping to take photos. The reviewer also touches upon the ongoing development of Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) capability, expressing a forgiving stance towards its imperfections due to the complexity of such advanced technology. While acknowledging the initial learning curve for features like the steering and lack of a rearview mirror, the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, viewing the Cybertruck as a unique, fun, and capable, albeit attention-grabbing, machine. less
Tesla Cybertruck Cyberbeast! I Somehow Don’t Hate It...
The Tesla Cybertruck Cyberbeast is a polarizing yet impressive feat of engineering, as explored in this first drive review. While its radical, geometr... moreic design and stainless steel construction are undeniably controversial and unconventional, the reviewer acknowledges its unique presence and the sheer audacity of its existence. The Cyberbeast trim, with its tri-motor setup delivering over 800 horsepower and a sub-3-second 0-60 mph time, is highlighted as a performance marvel for a vehicle of its size and weight. Key features discussed include the steer-by-wire system with dynamic steering ratio and rear-wheel steering, which, despite a steep learning curve, offers exceptional maneuverability. The reviewer notes the lack of traditional controls like turn signal stalks, relying instead on steering wheel buttons, and the absence of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Build quality is mentioned as a potential concern, though the specific vehicle reviewed, owned by Salomondrin, features a custom wrap and aftermarket wheels. Ultimately, the reviewer expresses a grudging respect for Tesla's commitment to bringing such a radical concept to production, suggesting its $100,000 price point is justified by its sheer uniqueness and standout nature in the automotive landscape. less
2024 Lotus Eletre R Review
The 2024 Lotus Eletre R is reviewed as a "ridiculous" and "super SUV" that, while not embodying traditional Lotus lightness, deliv... moreers an exceptional driving experience for its class. The reviewer highlights its "stupendous" 905 horsepower and impressive handling, attributing it to advanced tech like active anti-roll bars and rear-wheel steering, which allow it to remain composed despite its considerable weight. The interior is lauded as "wild" and "staggering," featuring high-quality materials, impressive tech integration, and a phenomenal KEF sound system, justifying its premium price tag. While the styling is described as "angry" and aggressive rather than conventionally pretty, the Eletre R is positioned as a unique offering with few direct competitors. The reviewer's main critique is the inherent heft and size, which prevent it from feeling like a conventional Lotus, but acknowledges it as the "most Lotus-feeling" electric SUV available. The potential for Lotus to fund future enthusiast cars through sales of these high-performance EVs is noted as a hopeful, albeit unlikely, scenario. less
Living With A $125,000 Corvette E-Ray!!
The Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray is presented as the world's first electrified Corvette and the first all-wheel-drive variant, offering a unique blen... mored of performance and daily usability. The reviewer highlights its impressive acceleration, particularly with launch control, and its capability on the street, attributing much of this to the electric motor's low-end torque and the AWD system. While it shares the C8's wide body and aggressive looks with the Z06, the E-Ray is described as a more well-rounded and easier daily driver, offering a different kind of fun compared to the track-focused Z06. Key features noted include the soft-close frunk, updated infotainment animations, and standard carbon-ceramic brakes. However, the reviewer expresses a personal preference for the Z06's special engine character and notes that the E-Ray's front end feels heavier and less communicative than the Z06. The hybridization is purely for performance, not efficiency, with a small battery pack. Despite its strengths, the reviewer found it less enjoyable on track than the Z06, preferring it for street driving. less
Living With $100,000 Rivian R1S!!
After a week with the $100,000 Rivian R1S Performance Dual Motor Max, the reviewer found it to be a highly impressive and practical electric SUV. The ... morestandout feature is the Max battery pack, offering an EPA-rated 400 miles of range, which significantly alleviates range anxiety. The reviewer praised the vehicle's distinctive styling, high-quality interior materials, and advanced tech integration, noting that the infotainment system is intuitive and well-designed, making the lack of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto a non-issue. Performance is described as stupendous, with quick acceleration. Practicality is also a strong suit, highlighted by the split tailgate and ample storage. However, the primary criticism centers on ride quality, which is deemed too firm and occasionally jarring, especially in sport mode or on rough pavement, with the reviewer preferring the all-purpose setting. Charging speed is noted as slower compared to newer 800-volt architectures, though the large battery mitigates this. Despite the high price, the reviewer considers it a good value proposition compared to competitors like the Tesla Model X and Mercedes-Benz EQS, especially given its off-road capabilities and overall package. less
2024 Chevy Equinox EV Review! The Most Affordable 300+ Mile EV!
The 2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV presents a compelling value proposition in the compact electric SUV segment, particularly with its projected entry-level... more pricing and impressive 319-mile range for FWD models. The reviewer highlights the sleek styling, a massive 17.7-inch infotainment screen (shared with more expensive GM EVs), and the availability of Super Cruise on higher trims as significant advantages. While the 3RS FWD model tested, priced in the mid-$40,000s, is considered by the reviewer to be less of a value play compared to the upcoming 1LT trim (which could start around $27,000 after tax credits), it still offers a comfortable and tech-laden experience. Downsides mentioned include the lack of a front trunk and the reviewer's personal preference against one-pedal driving and the aggressive regen paddle. Overall, the Equinox EV is positioned as a practical, comfortable commuter vehicle that offers a significant upgrade over its gasoline counterpart, especially for those prioritizing screen size and driver assistance technology. less
2025 Cadillac Optiq Walkaround, Interior and Details
The 2025 Cadillac Optiq is presented as an entry-level EV crossover, aiming to bring the Ultium platform to a more mainstream audience. The vehicle bo... moreasts standard all-wheel drive, producing 300 horsepower and an estimated 300 miles of range, with a starting price around $54,000. Key highlights include innovative interior materials like recycled yarn fabric and repurposed "tide" material, alongside a striking illuminated decoration with over 120 color options. The exterior features a dynamic design with a unique rear quarter glass graphic and stacked vertical headlights. Engineers emphasize the vehicle's stiff structural integrity, derived from the battery enclosure, which contributes to agile handling and comfort via "passive plus" dampers. The dual-compound tires are optimized for both performance and range. Notable features include standard Super Cruise and a 33-inch curved 9K resolution screen. While the absence of a front trunk is a deliberate choice to maximize interior space, the overall package offers a blend of luxury, technology, and practicality for a compact EV. less
Living With A $78,000 Kia EV9 GT-Line
After a week with the 2024 Kia EV9 GT-Line AWD, the reviewer found it to be a compelling entry in the three-row electric SUV segment. The vehicle'... more;s standout feature is its daring and innovative styling, particularly the unique lighting signatures and overall bold design language, which the reviewer found to be a significant highlight. The interior also impressed with its high-quality materials, intuitive technology, and practical features like the versatile center console and comfortable seating, especially the unique headrests. While the reviewer acknowledges the 270-mile EPA range is sufficient and aligns with real-world expectations, they express a desire for all trims to exceed 300 miles. The charging experience was acceptable, with one Electrify America station proving functional after initial issues. Performance in Sport mode is described as quick, though the reviewer notes a slight decrease in acceleration when the battery is low. The reviewer highlights the GT-Line's $78,000 price as expensive, suggesting mid-trims might offer better value, but concedes the top trim provides access to all the latest tech and features. less
2024 Silverado EV Review! The Best $100k Electric Pickup?
The 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV RST First Edition presents a compelling, albeit expensive, entry into the electric pickup truck market. Its standout f... moreeature is the remarkable practicality offered by the midgate and flexible tailgate, enabling an impressive 10'10" of cargo length. The reviewer highlights the extensive range, rated at 440 miles for the RST, as a significant advantage, along with the powerful 754 horsepower output in Wide Open Watts mode, achieving 0-60 mph in a brisk 4.5 seconds. On the road, the adaptive air suspension provides a comfortable ride despite the massive 24-inch wheels, and the four-wheel steering enhances maneuverability. Super Cruise is praised as a top-tier hands-free driving system. However, the $94,500 price tag (before destination) places it in premium territory, with the reviewer noting creaky plastic around the large infotainment screen as a notable interior drawback. While not a direct competitor to off-road focused or more radical designs like the Cybertruck, the Silverado EV RST aims for broad appeal as a comfortable, high-tech, and highly practical electric daily driver. less
