Meta’s founder Mark Zuckerberg has been on a quest to rehabilitate his picture recently. Just about something helps. He bought a brand new haircut, he has a laissez-faire perspective about his critics, and as a reply on Instagram reveals, he now daily-drives a supercharged Cadillac.
After somebody requested him what he drove within the related put up, Zuckerberg replied, “Largely Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing today, however typically different issues.” However there’s an vital piece of the puzzle lacking right here: He did not specify if his Blackwing was a stick or not. I am leaning in direction of no, however whether it is, possibly I am going to assume twice about evaluating him to an animatronic the following time I see him on TV.
The Blackwing CT5 simply bought a refresh and even a brand new monitor package deal, however it’s unlikely Zuck’s automotive is both of those. Manufacturing of facelifted CT5s, which have the identical 668 horsepower V-8 because the pre-facelift automobiles, began comparatively lately. Likewise, the Precision Package deal was solely introduced in late June. The 2025 model-year CT5s are nonetheless not configurable on Cadillac’s web site.
It is good to see one of many myriad tech CEOs/founders have a relatable style in automobiles. I am guessing most of them drive one thing electrical or do not drive themselves in any respect. There’s nothing mistaken with the latter, in fact. It is simply the predictable alternative.
So subsequent time you consider calling Mark Zuckerberg a cold-blooded reptile, simply keep in mind that his automotive is in all probability cooler than yours. Now all he has to do is put up a reel of him doing a burnout subsequent fourth of July.
