I am coming late to the party here, but I don’t think your information regarding the availability of Super Cruise is correct. If you go directly to the current Chevrolet website regarding the Equinox EV, they are only indicating that Super Cruise will be available on the 3LT and 3RS levels of trim:





If anyone wants to see more about how Super Cruise is offered on other GM products, it should be noted that this feature is only available as an option on the highest trim levels, be it an ICE Silverado or GMC Denali etc.

Super Cruise was just a Cadillac feature until 2 years ago. This is typical GM behavior: extracting the maximum amount possible for the features that are a must have.

Super Cruise is offered on Lux2/Sport2 and Lux3/Sport3 for the Lyriq, leaving only the two base trims without (Tech, and Lux1/Sport1).

I am aware of that. I have already said elsewhere if not here that Cadillac will offer new features first only on the top trim levels for a few years. After that it will be offered on lower Cadillac trim levels and venture out to other GM vehicles and for just the top trim levels. After several years of this feature being available on the non-Cadillac brands will said feature be available on lower trim levels.

Look, I realize that no one who has their eyes set on a 2LT/RS with SC wants to hear what I am saying about this. The only reason I am bringing this up is because of the feeling that the early press release that is being quoted here is wrong about this.

My only desire is that it might be better to be “pessimistic” about this situation, and then no one will be surprised/unhappy about having to pay for a 3LT/RS with upgrades that aren’t wanted (like leather seats and fancy wheels) because they really want the SC option. Or feel like they have to write Mary Barra to complain about the press release where the media just might have gotten the impression wrong.

I am extremely disappointed that GM will not be supporting CarPlay in the future. They might not be supporting Android Auto either in the long run. I am suspicious that connectivity will be a subscription in the future. It’s the trend in the auto industry these days. It could be worse. At least GM (so far) isn’t trying to charge a subscription to heated seats like BMW. When the feature is built into the car and doesn’t require cellular data to operate, it’s nothing but pure greed to expect a customer to pay for the use of a feature that is already installed in the car they purchased. I don’t know how other people view this but I will move to a different manufacturer who is not so greedy about the product they are selling.

Neither CarPlay nor Android Auto will be fully supported starting with the Blazer EV, Bugs. Apparently you still have limited connectivity for calls and text messages, but likely not more than that. I'm taking a wait and see approach. I want to test drive the car as well.

Here's what GM has said regarding some potential subscription areas:

Ultifi is designed to do two things for General Motors: increase customer loyalty and generate a new revenue stream. This will come from subscriptions to streaming content, concierge services, and selling permanent upgrades or renting temporary features over a vehicle's useful lifetime (much longer than a combustion vehicle's). Here are just a few envisioned for potential future rollout:

• Vehicle authorization using driver-facing camera and facial recognition software
• Automatic window/roof closing based on links to local weather forecasts
• Planetarium app using GPS location to indicate nearby star constellations on the infotainment screen(s)
• Gesundheit mode, which closes windows and activates air recirculation when pollen counts are high
• Monitoring of nearby traffic to learn of icy/slick spots, potholes, obstacles, etc.
• Enhanced powertrain and suspension settings for use during track days

So far, that list only demonstrate the greed part, not the "customer loyalty" part. If they had this system, plus Android Auto\Apple Carplay, I'd still have these new options to pay for if I'm interested in them. What they REALLY did here, is to force you to pay to get these options (even if you're not interested in them) just because you want to get the basic functionality you already have with AA\ACP.

It's like you go to a shop because you need pants, and they tell you that in order to get pants, you have to buy a whole suit, a tie, and shoes... And you can't really buy them, you have to pay monthly to lease them.

On the other hand, I had a look, and had a really hard time finding any 2023 vehicle with no subscriptions. So now, I'm 80% sure I'm just keeping my 2010 Santa Fe Limited. The engine doesn't burn even a drop of oil, the tranny doesn't skip a beat, and I have Android auto. No silly things like cylinder deactivation, start-stop, turbo, electronic parking brake, etc. The only problem is I go through suspension parts like a madman. Fortunately, I got the "no time limit, 180K" warranty. I think the fact that they use aftermarket parts is why I (they) need to replace all these parts every 4Kkm (already went through 7 control arms, 3 stabilizer links, 2 steering links, 4 struts\shocks, etc). The original ones lasted about 120Kkm.

This warranty already paid for itself 4X. So even when it's over, replacing all the parts (slowly, as they break) to original ones, plus paying for gas ($800\year for me), is still more cost effective for another 10 years.

But there's still a 20% chance I'll get the NOX. If the 2LT+AWD price is under 50K CAD (before taxes and rebates) I'll think about it. But that's only 37K USD these days, so I'm very doubtful this will happen.
