I have a Cadillac XT5 and absolutely love it. Best vehicle I've ever had. As for the workers, I agree workers should have uniforms and should follow rules like Asia and Europe.
40:20 There is the engine recall section. On any given day, those machines may be out of alignment. Next shift, they find it. But, engine already been made.
@ As an engineer I do not see any reasons my Lyriq will last less than any other electric car on the market. In addition, I do not see any reason an electric car will last less than a comparable ICE vehicle. Especially considering that electric cars have less failure prone mechanical cal assemblies as well as the fact that more and more cars are being made with smaller highly stressed turbo engines.
I toured an auto assemble plant in Japan and noticed they pride themselves in quality where as it's performance based in the states. All about the numbers in the US.
Oh its definitely spot on from what you said. It’s embarrassing to see what we have become. Something went wrong? KEEP THE LINE ROLLING! The very reason why I bought my 4runner several years ago thats made in japan after witnessing the horrific auto lineup here that they do.
Well, that hasn't changed much :D Unfortunately, thanks to inflation, the prices of everything have increased... unfortunately, salaries haven't increased that much
I have a 03 yukonwith the 5.3 vortec motor. I love it. It's getting on up there in years but it's the best I ever had and still runs great it now has 148.000 miles on her hut she still runs great
EVs what a waste of products, nobody wants them, that's why all car manufacturers are losing tons of money and maybe going bankrupt, This is why gas vehicles are so dam high in prices because y'all are losing sales on EVs and trying to make it up on gas vehicles.
@@coach2208 Yes, yes, of course! Tesla, Rivian and Lucid cannot sell their electric vehicles, and they’re pushing up the prices of their gas models up to cover for the losses. Sure!
You're absolutely right... unfortunately it's a worldwide trend that has been slowing down over the last year (it seems to me), but it's not going to change...
According to this video 30,000 vehicles are made in 1 day in this Cadillac assembly plant....... that's 1458 vehicles per hour 48 vehicles per minute..,there's no way possible ....
Great video and always love to see the process of building modern vehicles. These new gens of SUV's and trucks coming from the general though have many styling issues. Gorgeous interiors, but the exteriors are terrible looking. This is even coming from a GM guy. I'm hoping the updates and full redesign that will be coming in the future will address these problems and that GM will make a nice looking vehicle again someday.
Well, it's not the least... :( Cadillac has historically been a luxury brand, and at the beginning of the last century was considered to be a luxury manufacturer similar to Rolls-Royce... Unfortunately, the high cost of maintenance has remained to this day :D
As a 35 year GM dealer employee, and having visited many GM assembly plants over the years, there is so much misinformation in this video, I don't even know where to begin 🤔
"Spring Hill Manufacturing is a General Motors factory in Spring Hill, Tennessee. It was developed from 1985 and launched in 1990 as the sole manufacturing facility for Saturn Corporation. The plant currently includes vehicle assembly (Cadillac Lyriq, Cadillac XT5, Cadillac XT6, and Acura ZDX) plus powertrain, stamping and molding operations"
The ZDX is manufactured alongside the Cadillac Lyriq (also built on GM's Ultium platform like the Blazer EV) in GM's Spring Hill, Tennessee facility. Much is shared between the ZDX and Blazer EV. Their wheelbases are the same, and the Blazer EV's available 102-kWh battery pack is standard on all ZDX models.

I loved All GM cars growing up in the 1960s. After my first Toyota, I only by japanese cars. I want a GM vehicle, but I still hear too many complaints. Transmissions etc. Can't blame workers, Camry's Accord's made in USA are better than the japanese made ones !
Reminds me of the old wixom plant. Ship it! Can’t see why they charge so much for new cars now. I left ford in 2000 and was at 21.92$ working on the line . Body shop zombie
I hate gray, gm has had 3 shades of gray since 2012… gray is everywhere now even in home remodeling or new builds ..gray furniture,gray flooring, gray cabinets ,gray tv stands gray rugs ,gray on walls, yuk.
Boasting that Cadillac sold over 147,000 vehicles last year in the US is actually nothing to brag about. In the 1970's, a typical year saw over 350,000 Cadillacs sold each year from 1970 through the end of 1979. I believe that 1979 was its greatest production record year. They no longer build actual Cadillacs. That's why.
There is absolutely NO way that factory produces 30,000 vehicles per day!😂😂😂 They'd be done for the whole year in less than a week! Man, the front end of those Chevrolet full-sized SUV's are so damn ugly.😂
Reliable my ass, that’s all I see is GM products on the side of the road. American Garbage. We can make a F22 Raptor yet we can’t make great reliable cars.
The last Corvette was built in 1972, as far as I am concerned. After the early 1990's, they began to take on a Warner-Brothers cartoon look to them, such as the latest models. They've tried too hard to look "exotic" and "European." Now, they are just plain ugly and are extremely way overpriced to the max. I'll take a Shelby Cobra over a GM Corvette any day of the week. Plus, Shelby's are much more powerful than Corvettes. Higher resale value than Corvette. A fact that doesn't set too well for Corvette owners. Corvettes wreak of Aqua Velva and gold chains, mostly driven by mid-life-crisis men.
these skilled workers are really making 25hr? serious? thats kinda low paying? whatever they do im sure a robot could do, so these positions are more like charity jobs given to keep money moving around in the local town economy...
Ah yes, members of the UAW making $75+ an hour with ridiculous benefits to push a robot arm around. Just one of the many reasons the average car is $46k.
Ridiculously overpriced aluminum and plastic. Nah, I’ll keep my reliable jalopy. Low registration fees and low insurance rates. People do not need all that fancy stuff. Complete waste of money. It’s only transportation to and from work. Possible vacation or two…. When will people wake up?
not one of General motor products 🤮they all are no good☠️ bad News🤔 and all of those Chinese pieces and parts. They use it to build general motors Chinese parts🤣😂 and now they (general motors) decide to go electric🫣 something is seriously wrong
@ A Ford Thunderbird. Biggest POS! At around 90k miles the whole thing completely fell apart. Now an V8 import from South Korea. In seven years not a a single time in the shop. Just one oil change a year, and that's it.
I hope you enjoy the whole video and are not just here for the thumbnail 😉

Thanks so much for the comment and information! You all are a super community here in the comments
....im just here for the thumbnail & the drinks 🍸 👌 😊
I have a silver-grey Cadillac Lyriq, and I absolutely love it.
Good for you , I would not by a Cadillac now days. No way my hard earned money will go to waste
Congratulations! You're lucky... I wonder how long your Lyriq will last...
I wonder what are you doing with your hard-earned money… 😂

I am guessing the plant is the old Saturn manufacturing facility ?
Good guess! It was developed from 1985 and launched in 1990 as the sole manufacturing facility for Saturn Corporation.
Lansing Michigan i was there they also made Chevy camaros on the other side of the building!!!!
Just discovered your channel. This vid is fascinating. 👍🏼
Thanks so much for the kind comment and welcome to this community of car lovers :)

In 2004 I started an entry level welder position in a plant in Ontario Canada. I was paid $20 an hour as the starting wage.
Well, that hasn't changed much :D Unfortunately, thanks to inflation, the prices of everything have increased... unfortunately, salaries haven't increased that much
I have a 03 yukonwith the 5.3 vortec motor. I love it. It's getting on up there in years but it's the best I ever had and still runs great it now has 148.000 miles on her hut she still runs great

Great presentation.
Glad you liked it!😉
I like the Chevy Suburban.
Thanks so much for the comment and I wish you to get a Suburban soon...
The best, only car on the road that catches my eye ,stands out, everything else looks the same, beautiful cars every year
Best of all its a Cadillac👍👍👍👍👍

Incredible Video....Thanks so much. AWESOME and BEAUTIFUL AMERICAN CARS. !!!!
I don’t know what part of the video you looking at🤣😂 cause not nothing on those cars are American all Chinese👀
@@anthonyrogers1508 You're mistaken. Some parts (motors, for example) are Chinese but most parts are of American origin.

You're absolutely right... unfortunately it's a worldwide trend that has been slowing down over the last year (it seems to me), but it's not going to change...
You're wrong because gasoline engines have problems air pollution and gasoline now very high. EV is very popular in China now in the future world

Thanks so much for the comment. So let's hope they work on the outside appearance soon...
Everything looks good, but what about reliability and maintenance costs?
Well, it's not the least... :( Cadillac has historically been a luxury brand, and at the beginning of the last century was considered to be a luxury manufacturer similar to Rolls-Royce... Unfortunately, the high cost of maintenance has remained to this day :D
It's a new line, so reliability is not established yet. On the other hand, electric cars require virtually no maintenance.
I’d love to see it in an Auburn Frost color with amaretto leather
That would be great. So let's hope this option comes along soon.
These ain't your grandpa's caddies anymore.. these days they're performance beasts and look sharp.

I love the American made products ❤️🇺🇸
The vehicle or the thumbnail?
@@dothedishes3427 the vehicle for sure
I'm through can't stop laughing notice the size of most of the employees 😂
Corvette C7 takes the trophy in my opinion. Silverado then the Suburban.
I couldn't agree with you more! What kind of car do you own?
@@usaproductionlines3065 1989 GMC 4x4 Suburban
I worked in the Spring Hill plant for years and now at the Arlington plant for years
Are Suburban, Tahoe, Yukon in same factory with Caddies Esc?
Yes, Arlington, Texas.

I live in a blue sanctuary city and the tweakers constantly strip the copper wire from our EV charging stations.
You have great watch photo icon :)
I have a safety concern about the Headlights working properly at night shining on the roads they don't look like they are shining on the road
As a former firefighter and safety manager I would never let anyone wear those clothes
I own an Escalade and the XT6.
Congratulations. And how are you happy with the cars?
Reliable? Almost every truck in this factory was awarded least reliable SUV of the year by Consumer Reports.
I own a gray XT5. I like it but the gray paint thing needs to be augmented with some color.
And how happy are you with the Cadillac XT5? Does it serve you well?
👍👍👏👏👏
Great video. Don't care for the Grey.

enjoyed it!

Why is a Acura-Honda being built in a GM factory? Is it really not a true ACURA- Honda?
"Spring Hill Manufacturing is a General Motors factory in Spring Hill, Tennessee. It was developed from 1985 and launched in 1990 as the sole manufacturing facility for Saturn Corporation. The plant currently includes vehicle assembly (Cadillac Lyriq, Cadillac XT5, Cadillac XT6, and Acura ZDX) plus powertrain, stamping and molding operations"
The ZDX is manufactured alongside the Cadillac Lyriq (also built on GM's Ultium platform like the Blazer EV) in GM's Spring Hill, Tennessee facility. Much is shared between the ZDX and Blazer EV. Their wheelbases are the same, and the Blazer EV's available 102-kWh battery pack is standard on all ZDX models.
Because Honda wants it and cannot currently build it themselves.
I am here to enjoy the video and the thumbnail, where is the thumbnail anyway 🤣
Most likely clickbait
Is the voice in the video A.I. Generated? Something sounds just a little off about it
You didn't show where they put in all the bad wiring !!
Well, I think the video also shows them installing the electrical cables into the Cadillac...
At 3:16, look at the ripples in the sheet metal..WOW and it passed..
Thanks for the comment, you make a good point... yes unfortunately this will pass :(
Hey its the Cadicrap factory! HAHAHA!
Interesting renaming :D Thanks for the comment
Cadillac builds the Acura ZDX? Did I read that right?
Nope.. "Spring Hill Manufacturing currently includes vehicle assembly (Cadillac Lyriq, Cadillac XT5, Cadillac XT6, and Acura ZDX) plus powertrain, stamping and molding operations."

You mean can’t compete with Japanese?

Why can't there be Greens, Reds, Blues and other nice Colours. Grey is so dangerous at Dawn and Dusk.

My brother works at that plant he works with engines
Those car very expensive for the people
Beautiful car....but too expensive.
And what car brand do you prefer over Cadillac?
@ Lexus.
30,000 vehicles a day is impossible. You would make your yearly US sales in 5 days.
I like RAM
Gray or gold champagne color Lyriq I’ve owed
A DTS and One CTS both great.cars but myCTS ended head on collision.
For from reliable and I work in the auto industry!!
And what exactly is your job and which car company?
JUST A CHEVROLET WITH ADDED FUFU. AMERICAN CARS STILL PAYING CATCHUP TO EUROPE.

What’s the weird music they play over and over again? Lol
EVs are DOA
Lol. The title has the word reliable
Manufacturers are recouping their EV losses through conventional vehicles & that’s why new cars are very very expensive
these skilled workers are really making 25hr? serious? thats kinda low paying? whatever they do im sure a robot could do, so these positions are more like charity jobs given to keep money moving around in the local town economy...
Porque en este canal pone imágenes de mujeres en la portada??
Plastic that fade's and thin tin that rusts away in 5 years
All of that manufacturing technology and you end up with a pile of overpriced junk
Really i sorry adquare this
cars never can for people poor is only comparative real life but is only industrie more😊😮
i spent 38 yrs at gm this is not put together very good should follow a start to finish video not jump all over and they dont build 30000 a day
A lot of wrong information in this video for sure.
Ah yes, members of the UAW making $75+ an hour with ridiculous benefits to push a robot arm around. Just one of the many reasons the average car is $46k.

I owned a 2010 equinox I loved the car but the motor was SHIT. I HAD THE 4 cylinder it drank oil like it was gas
Such a garbage SUV
Do you own a Cadillac SUV yourself?
These ppl so lazy these days thank god for the tech or we would never have stock
These cars lose value immediately. In 3 years upto 55%. Always buy Esclade used with Certified CPO.
