      What did you end up getting? I got the model Y while it was on sale and with the federal tax credit which brought the price down to ~$40,000. So the Lyriq was nowhere near the price I paid but I guess it is eligible for the tax credit again.

      To be fair to this person, Cadillac has a bit of an image problem. Over the years they kind of did several things and vehicles. They had no real sense of what they were or the direction they wanted to go in and the vehicles showed that. It also didn't help that this was a brand that never marketed itself to young people at all, so most have no idea.... That the brand used to be THE American luxury brand.
      The Lyriq is the first shot of attempting to fix this image issue. They have a direction they want to go in now, they wish to build coaches.... And through that build a standard, the "standard of the world".

    As far as the lack of sportiness, this is the base trim of the Lyriq so it’s not going to be all that sporty. However, there will be a sport trim that’s coming for 2024, and shortly there will be the AWD version with about 500hp and that should change things as well. More interior colors will be coming next year as well.

    12:38 The no-typing/voice-only is part of Android Auto, and I don't think it's something that GM can influence in any way (pesky rules and regulations). Also, I have noticed that, especially after some recent updates, AA doesn't have great voice recognition/activation for commands. However, you can press the mic button on the AA interface, and it will immediately prompt you for a voice command (that it will hear). So I think that's another issue that Google is going to need to smooth out in AA.

    • @bigdavedahl
      @bigdavedahl 2 роки тому +3

      This is an interesting attribution issue. The voice command failures I’ve experienced on Polestar’s AA have been connectivity driven. When your cell connection is spotty, the AA voice commands suffer, which makes sense. The only annoying bit is when you’re in a dead zone for a while and come back into range. The system struggles for consistency. Otherwise, and 99% of the time, the voice commands are quick and reliable around town.

This is key to acceptance, at least for me it is, vs. "reviews" from fanbois (and grrls). While I appreciate what Tesla has done advancing EVs, I prefer actual cars *that just happen to be electric* and the experience of actually driving them vs. tech taking control and drivers sleeping on the road of life.

    So that back hatch sloping part is not mainly for storage. The main reason is to minimise drag and maximising range. Then being able to do that and having more storage there meant they could get away with no frunk.

    Minor note: I like how some EVs do NOT have frunks, because they move all the HVAC hardware to the motor bay, increasing interior volume. And if they can still manage to fit a small storage bin under the hood as opposed to a large frunk, it's a great spot for emergency equipment.

      The Lyric isn't very efficient, so 150 miles is going to be about 60 kWhr, more if you need the heating on or are driving quickly. This will take about 10 hours of charging each night on a good home charger, perhaps more. If you don't have 12 hours to charge from the time you get in to the time you leave then I would consider something more efficient.

Once they do that, they can pull the profit margin lever and lower prices and/or add features like adaptive suspension, cool seats, extra displays, ect...

      Every car manufacturer right now that is releasing EVs to the market is bringing something that Tesla isn't and that is build quality and tech features. The only area that Tesla has a real advantage is in the software for their cars which is obviously really advanced especially in the "self-driving" aspect. Other than that though, Tesla offers nothing else of value to most people, unless the person buying an EV prefers that ultra minimalistic style.

I had a brand new Benz before my Tesla and it had plenty of build issues which I only noticed after I heard about the Tesla issues right before I traded it in. No car is perfect but build quality is mainly cosmetic and easy to fix. I haven't seen any major Tesla recall in recent history. Toyota, GM and Ford has seen far more recalls this year alone, while Tesla fixes the recalls with an over the air update.... Tesla is choosing not add the "high tech" features you might be thinking of. GM is not designing these "high tech" options, they purchase them from a catalog. Tesla can do the same but demand is high enough that they don't need to. They are actually removing parts, i.e. Ultrasonic sensors... Legacy OEM has not been able to ramp production because they can't. Too much ICE infrastructure to convert to EV. It will take time... Look at the Mach E sales, they started production a few months after the Model Y, and don't even bother to look at GM sales, especially the Hummer. I like Caddy, but they have ways to go... Massage seats, speakers and displays every where, is not an advantage, GM is just choosing to lose money on every car they sell. Tesla isn't...

    Good honest review. Like the details on the issues with AA.
    The Escalade comment was interesting. The RWD Lyriq weighs around 5,600lbs; about what an Escalade weighs now.
    Regarding the Sport Mode, you'll have to wait for the AWD Lyriq due in 1Q23 for something a bit quicker.
    Here are the Specs on the AWD from GM China:
    710 Nm of torque (approx. 524 lb-ft)
    0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 4.9 seconds. RWD around 6.3 sec.
    Top speed of 210 km/h (130 mph)
    AWD range converted from the Chinese test data is 287 miles. AWD uses the same 100KW battery pack and that drop is similar to what you see in the Mach-e AWD variant.
    He did not mention that the AWD is $65K, including shipping, that it will have GM Supercruise via an OTA and you are given a $1500 allowance for either mobile charging or installing a charger at your home. Hoping that it qualifies for the new '23 EV credit of $7500 and it makes the Lyriq a really good buy.
