We spoke with Bill Thompson, the senior design manager for UI at General Motors, about how the Cadillac Lyriq’s display will signal how the company handles digital dashboards for all its upcoming EVs. GM shared the first photo of the Lyriq’s screen, revealing a single 33-inch piece of curved glass in front of the driver.

I don't think all of them are glass, the Tahoes and Suburbans I have driven are all latest models and had plastic screens. Sure on Cadillacs they are glass...

Many reviewers have not mentioned glass vs. plastic for the screen, but, according to this lady, even the new entry-level GM screens are glass, not plastic. (advance the video to 4:50).
That reminds me....next time I'm at the Buick shop, I'll have to check that out myself. I would have done so at the auto show, but health issues kept me away this year.

That may be true of the new Buick screens but I don’t think it’s safe to say all GM screens are glass

Like I said, next time I'm at the local GM dealership I use, I'll check out all three.....the Chevy, Buick, and GMC screens. It handles all three brands.
Given the price of your S-class, I wouldn't be surprised if it uses real glass instead of plastic.

The screens in the S Class are real glass

i find the interior to be very generic except that hideously shaped screen.
i think this competes with palisade and grand highlander, not a cadillac.
how many miles do you do a week or month? i suspect a bev would work out great for you even without charge at home. you'd 'fill up' now and then, just like you do with gas today.
respectfully, it wasn't a debate, it was people sincerely trying to educate you about tire dimension values/ratios. if you'd just open your mind a bit, some good people here are trying to help you.
anyway, as of right now i think this new enclave is a dud. nothing special about it at all. i guess i'll watch the 'Expert' video though, to be educated.
I think the new Avenir version will win over some former Cadillac XT5/XT6 owners. I know that Cadillacs, in general, for the money, do not impress me.
I cannot practically own a BEV.

Although they won't all necessarily have the same shape, those wide dash-screens, unfortunately, seem to be the wave of the future. Not my favorite, either, but I think we are gong to have to live with it if we want new vehicles.

for you though, there must be high speed (DC) charging stations all around you. and although you didn't answer my question, i suspect you do less than 100 mi. a week. so you'd be looking at charging every other week maybe, and with a dc fast charger, half hour or less (in other words, no biggie).
Well, I agree with some of what they said about sidewall-heights vs. wheel-sizes and suspension-calibrations

My neighbor with the Ioniq 5 doesn't bother using her Level 2 charger, she drives up once every other week or so and uses the Electrify America charger a few minutes away for free. Sits there for 20 minutes.

I don't know this for a fact because I'm not an electrical engineer, but I have heard from more than one source (including our condo-maintenance man) that fast-chargers like that, while convenient when you don't have a lot of time to wait, can degrade and shorten battery life.

Yes, for the last few years, 100-120 miles a week is about average (sometimes more)...but, unlike where you live in Florida, we do get moderately cold weather in the winter (sometimes severe cold for a few days) and occasional snowstorms, which drastically shortens cruising-range.
