Hey GM if you are reading this forum. Why is there no heated windscreen option for the Yukon Denali etc?
Winter has finally come here in the NE USA and I spent 30 min scraping ice off my wipers and windshield that I never had to do with my previous 2 luxury SUVs.

With auto start enabled and it running prior to me going outside it still made no dent in the ice.
Perhaps there is a way for it to start max front defrost after a remote start?
Even a heater element in the wiper only area area would be nice.

Please add this common feature so I an continue to buy these trucks going forward.
thx. ;p

if you go into your settings there should be a setting to turn on defrost with autostart, my 18 has it no reason your new one shouldn't
mine heats the seats and turns defrost on high speed

What else do you want, and how much more do you want to pay for these trucks?!

The defrost works fine with remote start. Check your settings.

Moved you here from the EV section.
Incidentally, if GM didn't even make an electric full-size SUV prior to '24, then I hope this site strongly considers renaming the current '24 EV section something different than the way it reads now -- like "'24+ Electric Vehicles (Yukon/Tahoe/Escalade models)." Right now, with Cadillac making an Escalade "ESV," the "EV" in the forum header, especially after "Escalade" only, looks like it represents another Escalade model, and not that it stands for "electric vehicle."

I want a fridge where the deep center console is. With a drain too.

Make sure you have your climate control set to Auto so when you do the remote start it will auto-heat/cool to that temp. I think this makes a difference as well.
