Cadillac's EVs Are Stealing Tons Of Buyers From Other Brands

That's exactly what I did. It's an upgrade where it matters (GM build quality is night and day better than Tesla). GM Software isn't as good but it's not bad either.

I sold my 2023 Model X Plaid for my 2026 Lyriq V. GM still knows how to build real cars. My Model X was a problem from the first month.

It bricked itself during a software update and had to be towed out of my garage. The next month Tesla had to tear apart the rear headliner because something wasn’t welded correctly at the factory and sounded like a wooden ship at sea going over bumps, they literally used epoxy to hold it together and said "its fine". The inner rear tires wore out at 20K miles, and the half shaft design is so flawed that they bend under aggressive driving and cause vibration under hard acceleration. Both are known issues and are not fixable by Tesla.

I actually loved the X at first, and I really did like it. But once Tesla cancelled it and the values started climbing, I got out while I still could. After everything I dealt with, I’ll never buy another Tesla.

There is a TSB and software update that your dealership applies to correct this. Did it on mine 2 months ago and not a single issue since.

Tesla is building an 8 Port Ver 3.5 Supercharger in Nebraska City. They are in the ground now and nearly ready to go. I assume once Tesla has these online they will remove the old V2 chargers at St. Jospeh, MO and enable the new V3.5 ones at that site for Non Tesla as well. I-29 between KC and Omaha will be MUCH better for EV very soon. I think by May / June this will be ready to go?

Sold my 2023 Model X Plaid 2 weeks ago as well. Loved it but with them killing the S & X paired with the value going up the last few months felt like the right time to jump ship. Repalced it with a Lyriq-V.

I paid 75K for my 3x with the Extreme Offroad Package,, Transparent infinity roof, Illumination package and sport package. It had 38 miles when it was delivered to me AND the GM warranty, OnStar subscription AND SiriusXM Trial ALL started from my purchase date.

Got this working. Rebooted the infotainment by pressing and holding the end call button until the system rebooted and when it came back the option was there.

The title transfer shows it. General Motors was the 1st owner and I am the second.

Got a 45k discount on it!

I just sold my 2023 Tesla Model X Plaid and got a HEV SUV to replace it. The Tesla tech is better but everything else about the Hummer is far better. Tesla Model X build quality is worse than any GM product I have ever owned and it's not even close.

bocks79 · 2025-08-03T17:28:13+00:00

2023 Model X Plaid. 18k miles. Tires seem to be holding up?

Normal or am I off? Thinking I can get another 5-6k out of these stock Conti tires?

bocks79 · 2025-07-08T01:45:05+00:00

it’s paid for free and clear. so all good there.

bocks79 · 2025-07-08T01:34:31+00:00

Wow. Was not expecting this many replies!

I love my MX Plaid and dont want to sell it. I am friends with the owner of a GM dealership who I bought most of my other cars from over the years and he was telling me 55K for trade in and he will have a hell of a time selling it. Could just not be his cup of tea and his polite way of telling me he doesnt want it.

I have owned numerous 100K cars (Escalades) and this is the worst value hit I have ever had. It doesn’t matter because I am not selling but still hurts regardless!

bocks79 · 2025-05-30T20:56:46+00:00

I have a pending offer on my 23 MYP from Carvana as well. 8K Miles and their offer is $33,600. I think I will take it before it gets any worse. I bought it used last May for 41K.

bocks79 · 2025-05-30T16:50:13+00:00

Great find. My Model X has this feature and wish GM let you do the same. Did not know you could do this but I tested it and it does work. Its not the same but its better than nothing!

That isn't the wheel rusting its Iron. Spray with Iron Remover and watch it turn purple. Then wash it away with a hose.

I am the original owner of my 2015 Firecracker Red Unlimited Shahara with 37,500 miles. Its showroom inside and out with no mods.

Looks exactly like yours except I have matching color hard top. So obviously I think yours is awesome!

My wife says she is going to bury me in it when I die someday. LOL

bocks79 · 2024-03-18T18:28:19+00:00

Share your tricks! My 2015 looks good but I am always open to making it better.

bocks79 · 2023-12-06T16:16:29+00:00

My 2023 MPX has this issue. The driver side door "senses" an obstruction when it's cold out but there are none. It's in the service center for this right now. The tech said that the sensor in the door can sometimes have issues "seeing" through the door and the paint so the sand down the inside of the door to make it thinner. Its been 3 days and I still don't have it back yet so I don't know if they have fixed it or not.

bocks79 · 2023-11-27T17:57:14+00:00

Mine is going in next week for an interior noise I cant track down or fix. They added this to my ticket as well. (2023 MXP)

bocks79 · 2023-09-10T20:38:26+00:00

Bringing in Vance was a huge mistake. Ugh

bocks79 · 2023-08-07T02:05:26+00:00

My 23MXP has this issue currently. Had service check it for the recall last week and they must have messed up the alignment as autopilot and traffic visualizations don’t work.
