Bouught mine from Carvana! I got a 2014, its 2020 now so just 6yrs old and i got it for $21k with 60k miles. Crazy how the price dropped from 75k to 21k in 6yrs! Im super excited to get it!!! Woohoo! GREAT REVIEW!!!
You look so comfortable in that ELR. Now that they are available at much lower prices, treat yourself by buying one. Your friend making the car sounds could be the Cargasm intro.
In my country, this would have been called a Hybrid car, as long as there is a fossil fuel engine in it; regardless of if the fuel engine is part of the drive train or not. And it would probably be twice the price, as cars with any kind of fossil fuel engine is taxed to hell and back. Really liked this video, keep 'em coming!
Fantastic review dude!! Love the different camera angles and the car too...!!! Your reviews are never boring... really a nice time I had when I was watching this .
Jerry, you did a better job explaining the cars features than a lot of salesmen that I've dealt with. I work at a Ford dealer and get to see all the cool new technology Ford is coming out with but don't get to see some of the other brands stuff. Last week I worked on a 2017 F-450 that had massaging front seats. Nice video, definitely looking forward to more reviews!
I worked on the CUE software in that vehicle. the dash is running a custom Linux. I also was the guy who developed the software that responded to the buttons on steering wheel used to navigate the HMI. Those buttons are on an automotive network bus called a LIN bus. The cluster communicates with OnStar and the center stack over CAN bus. All the multimedia in the vehicle runs on a MOST network which is another automotive communication network.
It's a shame that I don't live close to you, I'd stick you in my GTO. You'd be bored senseless in the tech department, but the 525hp and upgraded suspension makes up for that. Half the time, I don't even have the radio on, because the engine makes such wonderful sounds. Of course you'd never be able to get back in your tiny, underpowered cars and have a smile on your face, ever again. There's something very, very cool about doing a burnout through the entire first half of your gearbox, leaving a trail of tire smoke behind you that's so thick it looks like a scooby doo mystery fog scene (which we all knew was Shaggy's weed smoke...they weren't hiding anything). The features of the GTO are...big engine, transmission, steering wheel, tires, seat and gas pedal. That's it. But that's really all you need (brakes, GPS and cup holders are for sissies). :)
The Thing not really possible. the audio in that car is based on a MOST network. the tuner, amplifier, onstar all talk over a MOST bus which is a ring topology. the moment you break the ring, the entire bus goes down. hacking the software that talks on the ring would be near impossible. MOST is wildly complicated. you allocate a slot when you need to stream audio and audio is sent to an IC chip called an INIC. you talk to the INIC over a combination of i2c and i2s. i2c is used to command the chip and i2s is used to stream audio after allocating and being granted the audio channel. GM has a number of virtual audio channels defined for things like chimes and regular audio so then can, for example, play a chime over music to alert you to something. anyway, there's a lot going on... not easily hacked or modifiable. I worked on this system.
GOOD VIDEO. Not to be negative, BUT could you tie this channel in with your main channel/make it more apparent? I'd like to see this channel(Cargasm) under a brighter spotlight, to get the attention it deserves. Things like putting it in the recommended area on your youtube frontpage would be great. I just worry for the average viewer, because they aren't going to know this channel exists unless they are a big fan(or stalk you on your front lawn). And again, great video!
the other day on tech talk he said that people would get mad about it being on the main channel. so I think this is his option for making car videos without pissing off his main channel.
I do need to chuckle...Why do you need to "Engage" regenerative braking? My car does that automatically...mine also has Adaptive Cruise, Heated seats/steering wheel, my voice control works better (though I agree, it's STILL very clunky), my seats are leather and comfy, my steering wheel tilts as well as telescopes, etc. Oh...and I paid less than half. Granted, mine is just a hybrid, and doesn't have "Cadillac" label...but mine is domestic, and it gets me 720 miles on a tank of gas when it's warm out...but about 600 when it's cold. Not really knocking the Caddy, but wow, much of that tech is now available in non luxury cars. Nice job though Jerry...Keep up the good work!!!
???.. it's 2016... why are they giving you a discontinued 2014 Caddy ELR to review??? Would love to see what you think about a Tesla Model S. Love your enthusiasm...
Caddy didn't have the balls to do a full electric ELR - a bunch of old men without the guts to do anything new that isn't on an existing platform. Had they done an EV ELR, Tesla would be bankrupt today.
I concur, but keep in mind up until fairly recently Cadillac was the most conservative brand in the GM lineup. They made v8 powered street yachts for the affluent and geriatric for 56 years (De Ville 1949-2005). The fact that GM's flagship luxury line has an EV-hybrid at all is astounding.
Im deff more of a low tech car kinda guy XD so this thing deff isnt my cup of tea, but loving the first review! I look forward to seeing more of this channel Jerry.
Wow I remember when you first posted this one up on your other channel. I went to go and look up the car again cause I thought it was expensive then. Funny to find out that Cadillac/Chevy wanted to make up there money on the volt by adding $40,000 to the price tag of the ELR. They ended production in Feb of this year, funny how greed bites you in the ass every time. Really too bad, great looking, bad ass electric car!!! That's why I drive Fords, they did not need a bailout. Cadillac needs to learn something here, but they won't.
Jerry, you know when a shrimp gets cooked, it curls inwards.................... Well, when I see a FWD, it turns me off. Just saying man. Love both channels.
By the way. Claiming to save money from the gas engine not running is actually a fault. The motor should be turned on every day if possible to maintain fluids moving around and the oil doesn’t start breaking down via degradation. You think your saving money with later oil changes but all you’re doing is harming the components that are designed to run and be used. Good thing you’re not an engineer!
Wonder how long it'll take car manufacturers to make their in-car systems run on a changeable processor module? That way, when something with more CPU or GPU power is made, they can offer it as an 10-minute upgrade to older vehicles - these systems have always performed like a 3-year old cheap $69 chinese tablet :-) Tech is outdated in 1-3 years, so you could potentially have 3 or more upgrades during the vehicle's life.
How old is old though? This tech seems to be designed during the car's design and testing phase, sometimes years before launch. So when it comes out, the tech is already outdated. A common modular system would enable manufacturers to plug in the latest tech on the day of launch, so everyone wins. I think you will find that a lot of people either keep their cars for 5 years or more, or the 2nd owner is just as interested in keeping it 'fresh' - most cars are good for 10 years mechanically, so makes sense, and wuold also help the 3rd party accessory manufacturers that may want to offer something premium over the factory setup.
This is a really old video guys, just a place holder for the channel until the first episode of #Cargasm is uploaded tomorrow!
Cant wait for the first episode!
I was thinking that - thank you
was about to say i thought your videos were crispier than this lol.
Cool. I look forward to the first episode.
I was wondering this!! The highest quality is 720p... Great to see more content though bud. Can't wait to see more car reviews!
Just watched a dozen reviews on this car. Yours is by far the best; better than professional car magazines. Best of luck with future endeavors.
Wow, that means a lot! Thank you.
Very good review, keep up the good work! I'm going to go look for one!
Bouught mine from Carvana! I got a 2014, its 2020 now so just 6yrs old and i got it for $21k with 60k miles. Crazy how the price dropped from 75k to 21k in 6yrs! Im super excited to get it!!! Woohoo! GREAT REVIEW!!!
How are you liking it so far? Also is it roomy? I’m 5,11 would I be able to fit?
I watched a dozen reviews of the ELR and yours is the best by far....everything that's important to know you hit on. Thank you.
You look so comfortable in that ELR. Now that they are available at much lower prices, treat yourself by buying one. Your friend making the car sounds could be the Cargasm intro.
In my country, this would have been called a Hybrid car, as long as there is a fossil fuel engine in it; regardless of if the fuel engine is part of the drive train or not. And it would probably be twice the price, as cars with any kind of fossil fuel engine is taxed to hell and back.

Fantastic review dude!! Love the different camera angles and the car too...!!!
Your reviews are never boring... really a nice time I had when I was watching this .
Great review sir, really appreciated it. Looking at these now and this helped me make my decision. Thank you!
Me too. I can finally leave the prius.
The old intro was a blast from the past!
Jerry, you did a better job explaining the cars features than a lot of salesmen that I've dealt with.

That is awesome Eric!
Great Vid Jerry looking forward to what cars you have lined up
So many amazing cars including Lancia 037, Porche 911 GT2 and GT3, Renault 5 Turbo, etc. So many amazing cars, provided I can fit into them :P
I just enabled alerts on your channel so I don't miss any vidz
need to make a awesome intro. can't have nerdgasm intro for car review channel. **I'm sure it's in the works**
JR it's a old video so he just re uploaded it. Hence the old intro.
if I can't fit Jerry in the trunk of a car I'm not going to buy that car 😂
"dushdukkadukkadukkadushderrpdushdush" "we're on dirt"- best audio passenger EVAR!

Jerry! Good to see the channel is up and running. Best of luck.
Cant wait for the first official Cargasm Episode!
nice honest review of the car.
Who know you might be a potential Car show guest host.
We need to hack the audio system to produce engine sounds when in sport mode! CodeGasm!
The Thing best part, you pick the car it sounds like. you could have a Cadillac that sounds like a Ferrari or lambo.
The Thing not really possible. the audio in that car is based on a MOST network. the tuner, amplifier, onstar all talk over a MOST bus which is a ring topology. the moment you break the ring, the entire bus goes down. hacking the software that talks on the ring would be near impossible.

:D i actually really like the way you review cars. shall eagerly await your new uploads.
I agree with Iarry Spiller. I would love to see a review of the new volt.
Great video Jerry! Can't wait for more!
sow this video 2 years ago on your main channel, but still came to push that like button :D
Great video Jerry, Fan for life.
I was thinking "haven't I seen this before" until I saw that it was actually a reupload :P
can;t wait to see more.

I'd love to test some American cars, they look so comfy.
Bob Flavin mercedes s class is so much better
enjoyed the video. your elaborate explanation/review of its feature are really good. keep making more man. -liked
Awesome show loving it
Nice car Jerry, thanks for the video.
Love it but I feel like I seen this video on your main channel before. Btw do you think jay would let you review nizzy?
Would be great to have these encoded at 1080 60fps Jerry! Keep it up though!
I do need to chuckle...Why do you need to "Engage" regenerative braking?

Awesome car. Great video.
Pretty entertaining man. Thanks.
18:55 I agree, if you find yourself locked in the trunk of a car it is past time to reflect upon your life choices.
interior looks pretty nice
great video jerry.
Nerdgasm Fans??? I'm a Cargasm Fan. Good job Jerry.
Excellent video!
Will u review old muscle cars like a DeLorean or anything else aroud the 60' and 70'?
Caddy didn't have the balls to do a full electric ELR - a bunch of old men without the guts to do anything new that isn't on an existing platform. Had they done an EV ELR, Tesla would be bankrupt today.
I agree, this car could have been great if i had a drive train similar to the Tesla S.
I concur, but keep in mind up until fairly recently Cadillac was the most conservative brand in the GM lineup. They made v8 powered street yachts for the affluent and geriatric for 56 years (De Ville 1949-2005). The fact that GM's flagship luxury line has an EV-hybrid at all is astounding.
I can't envision an octogenarian in an XLR...
Speaking as someone who lives across the road from a golf course; you would be surprised.
vidznstuff1 tesla wouldnt be bankrupt because Cadillac is GM so that shit is cheap plastic inside
Im deff more of a low tech car kinda guy XD so this thing deff isnt my cup of tea, but loving the first review! I look forward to seeing more of this channel Jerry.
Neat system in that car. I like the microphone holder. :)
This is really a good video! Great job!!
Awesome Review man keep em coming ! Too bad that thing doesn't have a back seat.
Planning on a new intro for the new channel or are you going to stick with the current one?
Love the content man!
This video rocked!
I have a buick lucerne and i was shocked at how how similar it is. Almost as many features but I got mine for way cheap.
I heart Jerry, he is such an awesome guy!
good video love it
now you need to get in the new volt!
I'd bet you might like it more than the Cadillac and for likely 30k less
Like be the vid keep up the great work
nice one Jerry
Wow I remember when you first posted this one up on your other channel. I went to go and look up the car again cause I thought it was expensive then. Funny to find out that Cadillac/Chevy wanted to make up there money on the volt by adding $40,000 to the price tag of the ELR. They ended production in Feb of this year, funny how greed bites you in the ass every time. Really too bad, great looking, bad ass electric car!!! That's why I drive Fords, they did not need a bailout. Cadillac needs to learn something here, but they won't.
Great review, I like it !I!I!I🏁
It's definitely not a sports car but with that torque it is still pretty fast.
"id like to see other car reviewers climb in the trunk to prove storage space" #LinusDidIt
Nice work! Keep it up!
so it has a generator? doesn't that make it hybrid?
@cargasm is that the picture of your house there at the begining wher it shows the white Cadilac from your wife and a white Subaru Impreza Blobeye
Wait this has the same intro as your main channel?
Liked the vid😀
Jerry, you know when a shrimp gets cooked, it curls inwards....................
Well, when I see a FWD, it turns me off. Just saying man.
Love both channels.
lol
How come you used the same e'xact intro for this channel?? I would think you would have made a different one...
Have you done a Nissan leaf review
The motor IS connected to the drivetrain.
I DARE Jerry to do a review of the EMD SD70ACe. Hey, it is an electric vehicle BTW. ;op
12:00 did you know the 1996 jeep grand Cherokee has that feature and depending on the key it will change the settings.
that thing is awesome. if I wasn't getting the new Tesla I'd probably get that haha
that is a sexy freaking car!!
What about EMF readings. How high are they?
So is the gas engine now connected to the wheels like in a hybrid or is it really just a generator?
It's pretty much creased beer cans and cow skin wrapped around a Chevvy Volt
Heated Seats for the Win. :D
By the way. Claiming to save money from the gas engine not running is actually a fault. The motor should be turned on every day if possible to maintain fluids moving around and the oil doesn’t start breaking down via degradation.
You think your saving money with later oil changes but all you’re doing is harming the components that are designed to run and be used.
Good thing you’re not an engineer!
For $75K i'd rather buy a used Tesla Model S
Dude this video is 2 years old
It is a month old
Sam Nasab No check his main Channel
These aren't 75k anymore. 30-40k
No one pays $75k
good sound effects lol
yaaaaayyyy....the volt with a rebadge
are you gonna do a new intro jerry?
Jerry, are you still talking to OtoB?
Why do you have a tazer?
Bara Gear Tuesdays 7pm on BBC
Waiting for a new intro Jerry.
You shoud do some exercice. Good video
I do tons of exercise, I just also eat a lot.

Darren Coull forget old vehicles.

Vibrators? So Cadillac just increased the odds she will hit something?
novoiperkele its like a warning
novoiperkele oh wait is this a sex joke
just 2 years old video ...
plz get in the trunk to test space in every video
whith the base price (new) being $75k id rather get a tesla model s 60 as it is cheaper and faster
what was that fancy word for butt?
All the time I misread/mispronounce Cadillac as Cadillallillallillallillallillac. Sometimes even longer.
Architector #4 i see the first three letters and ik the shit word
Yea oil changes are so expensive loll
Yup, $60 every 3 months for a normal car.
Love you jerry really really do but I've tweeted you with legitimate questions twice and you've never answered
Hi
You're not lightweight either
your hacknmod bud should check on a wireless hack mod to change the drive mode while the lil lady is white knuckling the wheel..ha! jerrrrrry
My Toyota Corolla of the same year has all these features.
2nd
