RFI: Super Cruise Ownership Pro & Cons

How much is the monthly subscription for SC to function? If I don’t subscribe does it revert to adaptive cruise?

I believe the Onstar subscription that is required to keep it active is $30 a month. Currently it's active for the first 3 years. After the 3 years you need the Onstar to keep it functioning

I've put about 5-6000 miles on with SC in the last year and a half and wouldn't do a long road trip without it. For all the "drivers" that won't have any part of it, SC will actually make you a better driver and you'll be fresher when you get to your destination. It gives you more time to be aware of your surroundings and pay attention to traffic around you. For the first few trips, I would keep my hand on the wheel to try to shade away from big rigs in the lane next to me but the system keeps it centered in the lane extraordinarily well. The only limitation to it that I've come across is that it won't change lanes with a trailer in tow without you initiating it. The auto lane change is fantastic and keeps your progress up really well through heavier traffic. You can adjust the sensitivity with the forward collision alert, which I always ran with the smallest gap. The more of a cushion you have set gives more opportunity to get passed while it maintains the gap.

Our 21 Escalade has SC and I love it. I use it all the time on the interstates. Helps with fatigue. We make several trips a year from Indiana to Hilton Head, use the SC everywhere other than going through the mountains. I feel in better control with all the curves.

Thx to all that posted meaningful feedback w/ SC & would have it on my ordered ‘25 Z71 but unavailable w/ that model. Told my dealer bud yesterday if it becomes available earlier than the posted *late availability* on Premier or HC, I’d switch models to either & he said my ordered Z71 could be put into his lot inventory.

I have a family of 6 and we drive everywhere for road trips. In my Tahoe, we used it on every lang trip trip. If I was tired and want take my hands and feet off and stretch. If we grabbed food and wanted to eat while we kept driving. If I wanted to look back and check on the kids for a moment.

I'm not talking completely losing focus on the road. I'm talking about having a back up when we would normally be distracted.

After the 3 years, I plan to add it back in per month as needed when doing a road trip.
