Any idea as to when they'll open for ordering? I've hear mid-September get thrown around but at this point OP has supplied the most info so far.

 

[GalaxyBlackEsky]

I just don't get it. How they can change that much within a half year. This stuff should have been thought of before launching the new version.

 

[jmitchell]

Wow, these add-ons will highly impact the MSRP. Seems like the Denali will push closer to 80K now with much of this stuff standard.

 

[Daunntlessone]

I have been tracking all of this with my local dealer which is very large and they say minimal MSRP change.

 

[TheAgency]

Minor MSRP bump if any inferences can be made from the Cadillac release,

From GM Inside News:
"Along with the Platinum model, all 2015 Escalades are receiving OnStar with 4G LTE connectivity and inductive wireless device charging. All Escalades will also received the new eight-speed automatic and a hands-free power liftgate feature.

The additions are adding $1,275 to the Escalades base price of $73,965, while the new Platinum will set buyers back by a cool $90,270 including a $995 shipping charge."

Outdated.... [emoji17]

 

[Goodinblack]

They will make visual changes too I am sure

Like different looking moulding some panels etc

 

[Reels]

I just hope they put bigger mirrors than the current mouse ears.

When do you all think the price might go down to the 50k area?
1 year? 2 years? If it was to go down?
For the 2015 denali

Close to 2 years for the Denali...

Talk to me about the "wireless device charging." I've not heard of this feature. What standard (if any) does it use? Which devices would be supported?

Also, I assume the color options remain the same?

 

[motorwerks]

This is the technology as described by Powermat; the vendor providing the equipment to GM: http://media.gm.com/media/us/en/gm/...es/news/us/en/2014/Jul/0728-ats-powermat.html

Pretty cool stuff! Imagine, just get into the Yukon, place the phone on the pad, it's already connected wirelessly via bluetooth...and now it's charging wirelessly also! Great and useful feature. Eliminates the bulky charging cord altogether.

Color options remain the same with the addition of Bronze Alloy color...already available on the Sierra trucks.

 

[BirchyBoy]

It is cool technology. Unless it has changed, though, phones such as the iPhone require a special case that can charge this way. Other phones/devices may be able to use a new back on the case or battery to charge without cables.

 

[sssiglover]

Very convenient but super slow. If a regular charger takes1 hr to fully charge your phone these take 4 hours. I suspect the ones for the car are worse. I have one on my night stand so it sits on the pad all night.

 

[Daunntlessone]

I have 5 devices that charge wirelessly at my home and actually in my vehicle via pad - they work just as efficiently as the wired in my experience.

Did the pad come in your car or did you get something to put in your car?

I now see that's in your original post. Sorry, teething baby at my house and so there's a lot I'm not noticing these days.

Current mirrors are fine. Even on my denaliHD they are more than enough.

 

[Pockets]

I really like the mirrors. I haven't found myself wanting them bigger, I see just fine.

I bought a pad that is setting in the armrest between the front seats.

 

[Lyon]

Does it plug into a USB port? 12v? 110v?
