Caddie vs. Tesla vs BMW

Came across this video on YouTube. Now, I know the Plaid is fast. I've now had mine a week and it puts a smile on my face every time I hit the "Go" pedal (What am I to call that right pedal? It's no longer gas). That said: The CT5-Blackwing is quite something. Cadillac is going to start phasing out ICE cars. Looks like their last hurrah is something great. The sound....MMM. I love it.

Back in the 1970s to 80s I would never have believed anyone that said Cadillac would sell 1/2 their fleet as manuals and Corvette would be 100% automatics.

Caddy is certainly changing the age group for the customers of the cars.

Considering where the power comes from... maybe the coal pedal?

Funny, the vid guy calls the Plaid "a 10 year old car with a mild upgrade." rrriiiiiight... I expect that the Tesla engineers would beg to differ.
