reading sticker... i thought i was the only one who ordered an suv without 4wd/awd 
and $1500 for onstar/sirius is rough.
and $50 credit because 2nd row windows aren't one touch dn/up seems like an insulting credit and lame the car doesn't have it. my hyundai suv does.
but i like the feature set overall.

GM pissed off a lot of people charging for Onstar. One advantage is that it includes data which is beneficial for the rear entertainment. But I would rather it not be forced on me.

Congratulations.....quite a vehicle. 
I couldn't see the sticker-price clearly, but it appears to be north of 100K.....in six figures. (115K?)
Looks like you got about the same color-combo as my 2021 Buick Encore GX....the Bronze/brownish exterior and the two-tone beige interior, except that Cadillac apparently gives the color a different name (Mahogany Metallic).
I see they have toned down the amount of exterior chrome on the latest 2023 model....Escalades were formerly known for their bling. Interior, though, is head and shoulders above previous versions.
How does that 10-speed automatic shift? GM and Ford jointly co-developed the design, and, some Ford customers have complained about shifts that aren't as smooth as they'd like. But GM may (?) calibrate it differently for their products,
When it DOES rain in L.A., though, you can sometimes get some serious floods.

You get the first few months of OnStar free.....unless GM just recently changed that policy.

Maybe. Could depend on the amount of light and sun-angle. That makes a lot of difference. Most metallic and Pearl-colors look significantly brighter in the sun....not quite so much the case with regular-finish colors and mattes.
