I find it funny how the endless stream of "oh, but it's so big" comments almost universally get posted when it is an American vehicle, but rarely do you see the same level of vitriol when it is a foreign brand.
The absolutely hideous BMW XM is not that much smaller than this Escalade IQ and yet where was the endless hate and comments about its enormous size when that was released? Or the Audi Q8 or Mercedes GLS? There is an anti-American bias and it is getting rather old. It is one thing if all larger vehicles got similar hate, but some people on here are showing their bias by specifically picking out American vehicles to bash.
Maybe because so many Americans get killed by these monstrosities.
Where is the data that Escalades - or larger SUVs in general - are the cause? What is considered an "SUV" varies rather wildly.
But take that one step further... your argument is the same as all these people who complain that companies pollute so much.... They pollute so much because they are MAKING STUFF FOR US TO BUY. There is no different here. STOP BUYING SUVs if they are such a massive problem. I love smaller cars. I don't like seeing roads clogged by massive SUVs, but at the same time, people are CHOOSING to buy them. People act like they are innocent here. I will absolutely guarantee that the same people brainlessly complaining about SUVs online either own one, or a close family member or friend owns one.
And my point still stands. You NEVER EVER see the same kind of hatred when some German piece of shit SUV is posted. They are within a few inches of this new electric Escalade and yet all the biased Lemmings come running out to bash it simply because it is American.

Plenty to complain about with regards to euro luxury car concepts so yeah weight takes a backseat when feature subscriptions are making headlines. The XM, Q8, and GLS should also are hideously excessive vehicles but the Escalade is going to sell significantly better and so when it comes to its size the societal damage will be greater.
