Coming up on podcast 1891, we talk the Cadillac Escalade IQ. It's arrived. It's big, bold, brash, bombastic, and I've got all the details for you. Stick around.

Welcome to a new Patreon producer, John Ross signed up in Canadian dollars. I'm guessing that's where he listens. You too can sign up in your local

currency. I gather that's better the tax and things like that with Patreon. I don't know. They look

after the whole thing. You put your credit card details in. I never see them. The whole Patreon

platform does it. They take like 5%, which I think is really good compared to some others. And

that's how I earn a living. It's how I make some money and pay my bills and support

my family. And hopefully you get some value out of the podcast as well, whether it's entertainment or

through your job or you work in the EV industry, you have a connection to it, or you just like to

have a way to listen to all the latest EV news in 15, 20 minutes and then you're up to date.

Like hopefully John Ross enjoys this podcast for one of those reasons.

And thanks for being a new Patreon producer.

Well, good morning, good afternoon, good evening.

Wherever you are listening around the world, EV News Daily is your trusted source of

EV information for Friday 11th of August.

I'm Martin Lee.

And we'll start with the Cadillac Escalade IQ.

$130,000 of something you don't really need.

Although I'm sure there's Escalade buyers.

I'll go, I absolutely need this vehicle.

And I'll start off by saying it's not a vehicle that we have here.

I've never driven an Escalade because when I went to the US most recently, I had a model X, and that seemed normal size.

There were trucks and F-350s, whatever they are coming past, and the X felt not.
