I saw one a couple weeks ago in FL with a MI plate. I had to walk by it twice, because I didn't know it existed. Must have been an employee because they aren't for sale yet? It looks way better than the Silverado EV.

Need to stop FS. CT is such a good deal without that extra 20k

I have a 2017 GMC (Yukon) that has had so many problems, and it only has 50,000 miles on it. I was a lifelong GM loyalist, coming from a GM family (my dad, grandfather, and aunt all worked for GM at one time or another) but I have sworn off all of their cars after this Yukon. I had owned five GM cars before this Yukon, but there's something that the 2017 Yukon and my 2013 Camaro had in common. The infotainment software is garbage, and GM basically never updates their software after the first year. On an older ICE vehicle you can kind of live with buggy software because it's really only controlling the radio, but on an EV the software is critical and I'm just not convinced that GM can do EV software right. I'm also not convinced that they won't abandon their current software in a short time frame. I suspect that in like 2026 they'll decide to switch to a whole new software platform for their EV's and all of the 2022-2025 Ultium platform owners will end up stuck with a permanently buggy software that receives no further updates or development. This is just my hunch based on their past performance.

I already got my Cyberbeast, but I would have picked the Denali EV in an alternate timeline where:
  • It was on sale at the same time
  • GMC had a comparable FSD solution available off highways
  • It had dent resistance like the CT
Over all I think its easy to argue the Denali EV is a better vehicle/buy.

What's funny is that my 2017 infotainment system has Apple CarPlay but it only occasionally works, and sometimes it just freaks out and becomes unresponsive. I don't blame Apple for that though because other manufacturers don't have those issues with it
