Video Summary

Here is a summary of the YouTube video about the Cadillac Celestiq:
It is a $340,000 bespoke, ultra-luxury electric vehicle that represents Cadillac's vision for peak EV capabilities. Every vehicle is custom-made. At 217 inches, this is the second-longest vehicle the reviewer has ever reviewed. It has a dual motor all-wheel drive and a 111kWh battery with an approximate range of 303 miles. This car is meant to be more about the experience than just the numbers. The Celestiq is comparable in cost to a Rolls-Royce or a Bentley. A closer look reveals a high-tech, very luxurious, and soft vehicle. Automatic opening doors feature object sensors. Upon entry, all lights up, the AC turns on, and the door automatically closes. There are 55 inches of screens. The driver’s control screen is far away, so many of the functions are done with a crystal ball controller. A polarized passenger screen is set to be invisible to the driver while the car is in motion. There are AKG speakers throughout the car and with very well-done cabin isolation and Dolby surround. Also, the vehicle features heated armrests, and both heated and ventilated seats, all of which have seat-based speakers that blow air out on the back of the neck to provide heating. The tinted sunroof operates in different sections.
The left and right sides of the center storage area open with different mechanisms. Though a V-series car doesn’t get V badging, this version does get a velocity max button on the steering wheel. Suspension on this model is the best-riding of any GM car and corners better than it should given its weight and size due to rear-axle steering and adaptive suspension. However, the road noise inside the cabin could use better noise isolation. Power delivery is smooth, linear, and gradual, and it is overall very elegant, lending itself towards a grand touring style vehicle. The reviewer says that the best way to describe it is for “big kids,” meaning adults. At the end of the video, he says he is swayed on the product. He believes that it does all the “Rolls-Royce” stuff, though it is often better with the best version ever being sick.
