Cadillac has always been about excesses. This is just another example. Interesting enough this in not their most expensive EV they have another called Celestiq that is $350,000.

From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout vehicle owners, enthusiasts, and curiosity seekers with a place to engage in discussion, suggestions, stories, and connections. Supportive communities are sometimes hard to find, but we're determined to turn this into one.
Additionally, Scout Motors wants to hear your feedback and speak directly to the rabid community of owners as unique as America. We'll use the Scout Community to deliver news and information on events and launch updates directly to the group. Although the start of production is anticipated in 2026, many new developments and milestones will occur in the interim. We plan to share them with you on this site and look for your feedback and suggestions.
How will the Scout Community be run? Think of it this way: this place is your favorite local hangout. We want you to enjoy the atmosphere, talk to people who share similar interests, request and receive advice, and generally have an enjoyable time. The Scout Community should be a highlight of your day. We want you to tell stories, share photos, spread your knowledge, and tell us how Scout can deliver great products and experiences. Along the way, Scout Motors will share our journey to production with you.
Scout is all about respect. We respect our heritage. We respect the land and outdoors. We respect each other. Every person should feel safe, included, and welcomed in the Scout Community. Being kind and courteous to the other forum members is non-negotiable. Friendly debates are welcomed and often produce great outcomes, but we don't want things to get too rowdy. Please take a moment to consider what you post, especially if you think it may insult others. We'll do our best to encourage friendly discourse and to keep the discussions flowing.
So, welcome to the Scout Community! We encourage you to check back regularly as we plan to engage our members, share teasers, and participate in discussions. The world needs Scouts™. Let's get going.
We are Scout Motors.
My parents paid less than that for our first house in Corpus Christi on a 1 acre lot in 1995. The Oso Bay was right across the street and we were half an hour from Padre Island Beach or downtown Corpus in either direction.
My wife and I were shopping for our first house with 3 kids and a baby on the way during COVID since rent increased 20%-50% in our area overnight.
We were pre-approved for $380k but chose a 1,400sq-ft 1969 pier and beam that was completely remodeled. All new plumbing, flooring, electrical, granite countertops, drywall, etc. I didnt want to be house poor.
We paid $214k for our house, It was the cheapest and most structurally sound home we could find and time was running out.
It took over a year of getting beat out on bids by $40K cash over asking before we did it. We live around an hour East of Dallas and people flocked here when remote work surged.
In 2018 our current home was appraised at $68k.
In 2024 it appraised for $273k.
Its absolutely bananas.
That $132,000 was in Southern California in 1991. I don’t even want to know what our first little 1050 square foot house in California is worth now. We should have kept it as a rental but who knew.
My brother just got a Cadillac Vistiq. Really nice car and a way more manageable size. Caddy is doing a good job these days.What range anxiety. But, at what cost.
The Cadillac Escalade IQ Crushed Its Estimated Range In A 70-MPH Test

We can thank Covid for this. It’s when Car manufacturers and dealerships grew massive balls and decided to jack prices up. And then decided to use the chip shortage as a reason, which they still feel that it’s effecting them. I call BS.
There are a lot that aren’t as well and I think the “keeping up with the Joneses” gets hold of younger families. I’m struggling thinking a Scout might be $80K. I think the guilt I’d have spending over $100K would ruin the experience of owning it
That’s a part of it but currently-steel tariffs are the new major issues. A steel beam I. A basement is 40% more right now that it was a year ago. Prices are staying high to help get through the current material and import tariff costs-unfortunately. I suspect in a year the average car price will be well over $50K as it’s hovering around $48-$50K right now
Housing market is a killer now. I’m regularly seeing $1 million dollar building jobs that 3 years ago might have been $700K. My house has increased roughly 65% in the past 9-1/2 years since we built. It’s crazy
Just got the bid of turning a front and rear covered porch on my new home to a wrap around porch. Now if fairness, the front and rear were not full porches-so the add on segments were 50-60' each. The bid was 150k - just for the covered porches. Prices are above insane.
Going to ask the builder how much to just extend the existing covered porches to the ends of the building and put in uncovered on the sides-but I bet it will still be about $100k. Part of the issue is he budgeted in stonework on the columns, and sealed the rafters. I am sure there was also plenty of paint in that estimate.

Covered porch SF cost is approximately $140/SF shingled. Metal-add $20-$25/SF. Looking at my cost sheets right now
. That is central PA pricing-not sure where you are to know the variables. That’s also new construction cost-if adding to existing house it will definitely be a bit higher
700-lb Shorty camper trailer is a mighty micro with affordable price

It includes a rugged all-terrain squaredrop build that…

Well this is interesting. I hate when it does this and doesn’t show the article.
There’s an article that 5 brands have decided not to go forward with CarPlay ultra.

I can understand why car makers don’t want Apple to take over their entire interface.
