“You’ve got to try these new electric Cadillacs,” a semi-reliable source told me on a recent car press trip. But I was skeptical. Typically, this is how it goes with electric cars: newer brands like Tesla, Polestar, Lucid and Rivian do all the work to change the automotive narrative, and then legacy manufacturers play catchup, trying to mold existing models and ideas around a powertrain that’s not their specialty, and that their customers don’t especially desire. So you end up getting cars that, while technically electric, feel more like a homework assignment than something inspirational.
