so presuming you read the owners manual and or have tested out how the supercruise works, what is the fastest speed it will work at?
Well, I did already download the owner's manual and skim/read through it. I don't recall it saying that there is a maximum speed that SuperCruise can be set, but I did read somewhere that the top speed is limited to 120mph. Somewhere I think I read that Tesla's AutoPilot has a maximum of 90mph. I haven't had a chance to try it out, as the local dealer hasn't gotten one with SuperCruise yet.

Oh wow you just got it! 6 months!!! I commend you on the patience, I do not have any lol. I just got new Tahoe in white but I really love the Escalade sport in white. I probably could have afforded it but my payment is pretty cheap on the 21’ Tahoe after selling my 18’.

I've been looking at these a for a little while now, and this is the first model of the Escalade that I actually like the looks of. I always thought the Tahoe was more appealing in the previous models, but I really like the new one. It was very smooth and comfortable and the features are definitely cutting edge. I just might have to think really seriously about getting one of these. Only thing is, they said GM isn't producing them with some of the features that would be have-to-have's for me just yet. They said that the 2-speed transfer case and SuperCruise probably won't be available until around March.

Ask the dealer some direct questions about lifter failures in those motors and what GM has done to fix the issues.

Gorgeous truck! Congrats! I really love that color combo. Please report back on Supercruise functionality. I’m in field sales and routinely drive similar long desolate rural routes as you indicated in a previous post. I’m really curious how advanced it is and how it compares to what I’ve read about Tesla’s self-driving capabilities.
