Here's Why The 2024 Cadillac Lyriq Is The COOLEST And Most Important New Car In GM's Lineup.

My favorite part of an Elliott Alvis video is when I get to watch it :D

[@ElliottAlvis]

lol I love that Ralph. Thanks for watching!

[@thenetworkarchitectchannel]

Costs less than a Tesla Model X, has more lux features, a slick design, and longer range. We got one in the garage. Thx for the video. I enjoyed watching.

[@ElliottAlvis]

@@thenetworkarchitectchannel thanks for watching. Enjoy your Lyriq!

[@tuneskramer69]

[@kerrylewis2581]

It's been years since I was interested in a Cadillac. The Lyriq finally ended the drought. I love these things

[@DrivenChannel]

Reverse wheel probably means it’s a reverse mount. This means the drop center of the wheel is towards the back and if you install a tire you have to put the face down on the tire machine to get the tire dismounted and re mounted. Most reverse mount wheels aren’t labeled which can make a tire guy damage a wheel so it’s actually really smart for GM to have that written there.

[@ElliottAlvis]

@@DrivenChannel ah, now that makes sense! Thanks for that!

[@barbaraalvis2881]

Excellent video as ever. Car looks good, shame no UK 🇬🇧 version.

[@desertmodern7638]

A friend in Palm Springs has one of these, and it's gorgeous inside and out, and super solid. I spent a week in it in July, and was utterly impressed, with the exception of the air conditioning, which didn't handle the 120-degree temperatures as well as other cars in our group. Cadillac is reportedly making HVAC improvements for 2025.

[@vognmandpedersen8144]

Hopes it comes to Europe. Then I would test drive it. We are buying our 2nd EV shortly.

Awesome video Elliott and I am happy for your Dad...Also great tshirts #CatDad....I am thinking about getting the Lyriq in 2026 :)

[@ElliottAlvis]

Hey thanks! And that would be great, I’m sure you’ll love it.

[@didgr8]

I think you're going to have issues with your uncle's EVSE install. That plug isn't going to tolerate 11kW of power for long. You need a Hubbell/Bryant EV rated receptacle. An EVSE draws a LOT of power for a long time. I really hope he torqued the screws inside right too. The cutoff switch is fine, but either you've got a GFCI circuit breaker back in the box that might start to nuisance trip or you're not "up to code". Did you pull a permit and get it inspected? The better way is to just "hardwire" the EVSE straight in.

[@harriettanthony7352]

Well Written and Correct! The "Home Depot Issued' wall plugs WILL overheat and cause a fire when used fully. And this one is in a wall, where you will not see the fire till its too late! This writers EVSE does plug in {easier to replace, upgrade, or take with you if you move} and the box is METAL and externally mounted. And I have an electric rated fire extinguisher near the garage door[the first place to grab it if needed].

[@JRs-Garage]

Hey Elliott, give us a short update on your fleet it doesn’t have to be a long video, is the car trek car still running? Great to get a video from you it’s been a while Cheers!

[@pmkstudios]

Cool gadgets not completely crazy money and those seats look super comfy? I look forward to picking one up used in 20 years if we are still around:)

[@DeanFamilyAcres]

The Fiero headrests is what does it for me.

[@TheJeracuda]

i prefer the hybrid instead of pure electric as that way you don't have to worry about finding a charging station and get just as much range if not more

[@dustyrasmussen9528]

Wish they would make this as a hybrid.

[@glassvial]

Once again KZbin hates Elliott, this video is days old and if I hadn't manually checked I wouldn't have found it, not on the front page, no notification, nothing (and yes, obviously I'm subbed). Having said that, I hope your Dad enjoys his first new car in many years, me personally I don't ever see myself owning an EV, especially when the powers that be are trying to FORCE us into them.

[@ElliottAlvis]

@@glassvial I appreciate you manually checking. I’ll be posting more often so hopefully the algorithm will be kinder to me in the future lol

2024 model and no NACS?!? Why Cadillac, why? What are these car companies…that have announced moving to NACS…waiting for?

[@grahamstefaan]

What about quirks?

[@baldisaerodynamic9692]

Comparing this to a tesla Y a tesla Y performance has similar to more range, its cheaper, better more intergrated tech, and even on a level 1 charger it will charge faster (4.5 average miles gained per hour) and its about 24-27miles on L2, plus tesla charging network is a vastly better experience, much more reliable overall in terms of EV, their techs actually can fix the vehicle (GM techs are far more used to working on ICE). ( a model 3 with the LFP battery will charge on L1 at 4.9-5.35 miles per hour plugged in, outside temp will vary this slightly) this caddy, ill take out the GM being highly unreliable aspect out, has some nice styling for sure. I will give the interior a win to GM here and GM supercruise, if its not a subscription service it seems like a nice feature. I have used teslas FSD and i find it to drive like a confused californian, misses exits, slams on brakes at yellow lights, etc. i found FSD to be stressful to be honest. the basic cruise and lane following is perfect feature without the stress of the computer doing whatever it wants to do. another tesla advantage, IF its available in your market, is very low cost insurance thru tesla as they base on how you drive the car....considering EVs are high cost to insure this if available gives tesla a massive edge. every company wanted $320-400 a month for my BASE model RWD only model 3, with zero claims, tickets, etc for 20 years. that was double what my tuscon hybrid was to insure. tesla insurance, based on 18k miles a year costs me 86 bucks a month. Tesla batteries are also cheaper, and far more in abundance than GM vehicles. not that one will likely be buying a battery for it, as its warrantied to 100k miles (some are 120k) but if it did fail, out of pocket will prob be cheaper on a tesla, AND, if if its warranty replacement needed your turn around with a tesla will likely be faster. other issues could be parts supply for such a limited niche for GM. the caddy is a very nice car, laid out well, and wins for its more plush and more physical interior over a tesla. but in the overall package, tesla does win. also, you can buy at very reasonable costs phyiscal controls to your tesla and make it more user friendly. also i dont see the obsession with the volume wheel....all cars can raise, lower, and mute the volume right from the steering wheel without even moving your hand away. in the bigger picture, in terms of the money and all the more logical outlooks, the model Y is the overall better package for less money. so for those looking for an EV, there is a lot to absorb here, not just the surface. when i bought my model 3, i was considering the kia EV6, and the tesla won hands down because of logical aspects of it, but the kia i thought was a nicer looking car, and the interior was more comfortable and felt more solid. however, i drove the new highland model 3 and its vastly improved. but the biggest factor for the tesla was the tech, and the charging network as third party networks are often higher priced, harder to find, and reliability is shaky. plus with a tesla you dont need to worry about adaptors, or payment its all seamless thru your tesla account. and yes some non tesla cars can charge on tesla network, but thats limited, and requires you to sign up, and they charge you more too, and you need an adaptor, and you potentially could be needing to take up 2 or 3 stalls because your charge port is not in a universal spot that tesla chargers are made for. this making you "that arsehole" blocking chargers when someone needs it. think of tesla as iphone and apple accessories and how everything intergrates seamlessly, and every other EV is basically an android and nothing is on the same page and have to take extra steps.

[@fleecystheking]

The Y is also a Tesla, the purchase of which involves giving money to Elon Musk. Elon then turns around and uses that cash to do what he does, which many people just don't agree with. As long as Musk is involved with Tesla, I know I won't be. So I couldn't be happier that great EVs are available outside of the Tesla movement.

[@compgeke]

The Cadiilac is fighting in the luxury car segment, while the Teslas and Kias are not. Kind of comparing a Ford Fusion to a Lexus LS. Both are gas engine cars, but the Lexus is definitely going to be the nicer even if it gets worse mileage and costs more.

[@harriettanthony7352]

@@fleecystheking Now that is plain stupid reasoning! You do not buy any product based on the CEOs beliefs. I'd bet OP would by Arm and Hammer products. They were/are made by an openly Communist founder [hence the 'disguised' Soviet symbol on its products. Is this not called virtue signaling by you kids?

GM Cadillac is very American and not espesially relevant outside the States. Still, I wish we had (more) American car brands in Europe and Norway than Tesla. Congratulations to your dad 🎉 ❤

[@robertsturtevant6185]

I like the color……i question the 300 mile range, when you showed it charging,it was only charging to 80%……

[@ElliottAlvis]

Most EV’s recommend charging to 80% to promote battery longevity. When charged to 100% it has 300 miles of range.

[@michaelpfaff6009]

With one-pedal driving, will the brake lights come on as if you were pressing the brake pedal???

[@Calculatedevil]

Yes as it is active one pedal driving... Every time you take your foot off the power pedal... It turns on the brake lights.

[@ElliottAlvis]

@@michaelpfaff6009 yep the brake lights turn on just like normal. No one behind you would suspect a thing!

[@samlyda7558]

[@harriettanthony7352]

Less that the gas car that OP worships. Or did he conveniently forget the GAS car that blew up 1/2 of the customs stations on the Rainbow Bridge in N.Y.S. Fun fact [which OP will denigrate} a gas car is 10x more likely to have a fire than an EV. The fire difference is the fact the fire dept is stupid. You do not throw water on an electrick fire of any sort. Even Home Depot knows that, look at the different types of fire extinguishers sold. I will say EV fires are more intense, but they do not flow to other places.
