No dice. But later in the week, the same tailgate would arise when I was simply walking past it. I assume it was trying to make up for its earlier disappointment. And while I'm nitpicking, there's one more default, in my judgment. GM has ditched Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in their new electric vehicle offerings. e reason is "to create a unified, integrated, and subscription-based infotainment system." On the very positive side, this is a lovely driving vehicle. Its length and mass are nicely offset with suspension engineering and a few degrees of rear-wheel steering for surprising maneuverability in close spaces. e superb 23-speaker AKG audio system fills the nicely modern interior and you'll enjoy journeys up to 305-miles between charging. Even bidirectional capability is built-in to power your home during a blackout. Of course, that capability needs $6,000 or more of connection hardware on the receiving end. Despite my quibbling, the new Vistiq is a worthy contender in the large, luxury-electric SUV category.
