Tesla Model Y vs Cadillac Lyriq - Which EV Is The BETTER Buy?

[@G-Rated]

Nothing in the segment really competes with the sleek futuristic design of the Lyriq imo. It truly stands out and the sport grille has definitely grown on me.

In the past, I have owned a Porsche, many Audis, and many Lincoln Continentals. I also rent a Tesla Model 3 for two weeks a year when I take a trip to California. . When comparing my Cadillac Lyric to them I called my Lyric my “so-so” car. So quiet, so smooth, so powerful, so smart, and when in the self driving mode, so relaxing. Every EV buyer, or ICE buyer should test drive a lyric

That’s a great recommendation. I’m thinking of buying a non Tesla ev. The caddy’s are growing on me. I can’t wait until the smaller one comes out I think that will be more my speed.

[@toyota420xp]

It’s not even the most powerful lyric because they’re coming out with a lyric V. Buying a Tesla to me is like buying into a cult that I don’t want to be in the people that own Tesla no matter what’s wrong with them they say oh all I had was this problem that problem that problem and they don’t care also people that hate electric vehicles won’t necessarily know that you’re driving an electric vehicle and now that Elon Musk is politicized also driving a Tesla can make you a target for some people

[@garyx2792]

An experienced Tesla driver does not tinker with the 15" display while driving. Almost all vehicle functions are controlled by voice commands. Admittedly there is a learning curve to driving a Tesla. Physical knobs & buttons are not needed. Just learn to use voice commands for operating a Tesla.

[@shoofitalje755]

This video is very biased towards the lyriq. There’s a lot of pros the Tesla has that isn’t mentioned. Might as well just tell us Cadillac paid for this video. I like the design of the lyriq more but Tesla has a lot more pros that weren’t mentioned in my opinion.

I don’t think Cadillac is marketing to current electric car buyers, but to people getting ready to make the switch. Teslas are the new Prius whose owners are virtue signaling. Cadillac drivers are just showing off that they have a cadillac.

Great Cadillac commercial. But you're not wrong. I owned a Model Y for 3 years that I bought new. I pick up my brand new Lyriq in 2 days. It's a far superior ride and design. It is indeed the Cadillac of SUVs. That means something again. It took Detroit 7 years (since I bought my first Tesla), but they are finally doing it better than Elon (who has lost his mind and also stopped caring).

I'm not going more than 150 miles from my house in the Lyriq until I get the GM NACS converter and we have access to Tesla Superchargers. I have AAA, but I sure as hell don't wanna use it. I have yet to run out of gas or power in my 54 years and I don't intend to start on this road trip out east.

[@robbe291]

I own a 23 Tesla MY LR with the $2k boost (more power). The Lyriq was newly released upon my purchase. I compared the Lyriq, Mach-E, Polestar 2, and GT6. I think most, but not all of them from the factory look better than the Y, inside and out (mine is wrapped and accessorized to my liking). However, the price, range, acceleration, tech, and supercharger network won me over. The Mach-E was the best runner up. This was a pretty good comparison video but it did feel rushed or biased when it came to the Y. You showed your dislike which was pretty funny to see. "Backseat (Model Y), not much to see here." Forget their speakers, legroom, headroom, and cupholders...whatever 😂. The Lyriq is hands down the looker and luxury winner of all vehicles mentioned, but Cadillac ruined my experience with a previously owned XTS. Their screen was a well documented disaster and they refused to fix it because the vehicle was no longer under warranty. I took that into consideration when I wanted an EV. I hope they have better luck with their cool looking, elongated infotainment screens these days because it is a beauty. Keep up the good work. Thank you for the video.

[@XX-166]

It wasn’t under warranty so you’re out of luck as with most manufacturers including ELONS dream. Other stealerships may have taken care of you if you had done some homework and made a few phone calls

A note on the outside door handles on the Tesla. They are designed like GM door handles from the 80's in that you are supposed to push the button with your thumb and pull the handle with your hand.

THERE IS NO COMPARISON. I just bought a 2024 Lyriq AWD Luxury 3. I got it loaded. Power moonroof, 19KW charger, 22's, Black roof... $80,000. Even a fully loaded Model Y Performance isn't that high. But even if you just look at the cars, the Lyriq's exterior is far more elegant. Its interior is far more elegant. The Lyriq is a better luxury car than ANY of the Teslas including the S and X. They are PREMIUM but they aren't "Luxury". The Model Y's interior is amateurish. All that said: I believe the Model Y, is the better buy for a "work car" because it's less expensive and the supercharger network Tesla has is second to none. I charge my Lyriq at home on a step-2 Lectron V-box. (It's charging right now in fact).

Excellent summary, Passport. I purchased a Lux 2 AWD Lyriq. My days of driving a bare bones car that looks, feels and rides like an 80’s base model Chrysler product are behind me. I wanted , and was willing to pay for, a luxury car…..plus I can’t stand Musk.

This doesn’t seem to be widely known, but if you want more traditional EV like acceleration with your Lyriq you can add the velocity max feature which boosts torque by 74”b-ft and remaps the way the power comes on in the Lyriq, which you noted is more like a traditional luxury car V-8 in the Lyriq. The Velocity max feature does cut about 0.4 seconds off 0-60 time.

Cadillac basically invented luxury, and the price is right for that. The overprice of a Tesla makes zero sense to me, because it just isn't luxury at all. It's not even real leather it's vinyl seats.

I own a Tesla and drove a Lyriq. Really nice SUV. But until there's a reliable charging network to support it on long trips, no other BEV is going to displodge Tesla.

We stopped and charged at Electrify America Fast charger 350 kw for for 45 mins and when we arrived in Dallas we still had a charge to do all the things planned. On the way home we went to a Tesla station in Ft Worth that had a magic dock. We charged there for 30 mins to get us back to the Electrify America Charger where we charged 45 minutes and then made it all the way home with 25% charge left. I think it is definitely doable for shorter trips. The charging networks are growing and will be easier to use in no time. We plan to drive it on a 9 hour trip this Summer and we are looking forward to see how that goes. 😊

I love my new Lyriq.

[@wdavis1000]

Its a shame your camera person didnt tell you you have something white on your facial hair. camera person gotta be a bit better at pointing that out. Overall great video filled with much needed info on the two EVs

[@AnkitSharma-bz3rq]

I would always against tesla since I saw them coz they were ugly looking , 300 miles range combined with their pricing . It was a POS until 2022 , when most brands started adding evs . Now , tesla look normal , offer more range than other brands at lower prices with improved charging speeds . Tesla is way more better now than other brands now 💀💀💀💀💀

[@NomenClature-o8s]

Tesla lies about its range. Anyone knows that.

[@nunyabidify]

By far one of the best lyric videos. If I buy-your video will be a big reason why

[@wjanes11]

This comparison doesn't make sense. It should be the Lyriq vs. The model X

[@theoccasionalvideo]

Remember the Escalade IQ is coming.

[@George_Shonia]

you get what you paying; that is why Cadillac is more expensive than model Y. fair comparison will be between model X & that Cadillac

[@KentHolmes-md1tf]

He doesn’t know that you can use voice commands to do what you want you want in a Tesla or that the sun can really heat the car up in the summer months

[@blackoutnow]

Shouldn't you compare Lyriq vs Model X?

[@SoniaDiaz-zo4wr]

I have a Model Y and next will be a Lyriq.

[@Ginger30161]

"Very well put together". A phrase you'll never hear from a Tesla owner. Also, every comparison review with a Tesla Model Y or 3 should start with the auto wipers.

[@hotdognobun]

Minimalist design is such a turnoff for me

[@marketbuy]

With Tesla, all you get is an iPad on Wheels. NO THANK YOU!

[@nickmitilineos7417]

Know the cars before you attempt to compare them. If you drive both for a week you will know where everything is.

[@joehch]

GREAT review! Lyric for me. Tesla’s are a dime a dozen

[@XX-166]

More like a nickel before taxes

[@ryanreeves70]

Hmm $40k car vs $80k car

[@andregen2009]

When considering the cost of an EV, remember that it can vary greatly depending on whether you're buying or leasing. Tesla's fixed pricing means that a lease on a $45K Tesla Long Range can end up costing more per month than a $75K Cadillac Lyriq. So, if you plan to lease instead of buy, don't just focus on the MSRP. Take a closer look at which brands offer the best lease deals.

[@jamesharris7680]

Well, I am a Porsche guy, but I also have a Subaru suv for our electric car. I have Tesla Y because the software is better. And I really like the idea of having a basic car without all the clutter of knobs everywhere. I really like it being open and free and just one laptop in the center. I know a lot of people don't like that, and if you're a car enthusiast, you do not get a Tesla, but I am really loving the Tesla, it's fun to drive. It's quiet and it's real, clean and basic. Plus the price is better. If you really wantna talk cars, then we could talk about my Porsche GTS 992. Respectfully fuck the electric caddy and Tesla. But yes, I do own a Tesla. It's the sheep in me.

[@AlexDiamantopulo]

7:25 "...As compared to outside as it's cold" Hahaha I love it :D

[@romshes77]

should probably be comparing lyric to model X...

[@videosuperhero100]

Cadillac starting 58k vs Tesla 45k(dealer inventory just like the lyric) for the one you tested, additionally the person testing keeps comparing super cruise to full self driving...its not the same. Super cruise is closer to the tesla enhanced autopilot $6000 option. Super cruise will never be at FSD level of driving...it will never navigate city streets like FSD. Also tesla will be way easier to charge vs Cadlilac lyric.

[@michaelpuceloski2555]

Most car experts I have heard or read say there is nothing better than GM's super cruise.

[@703Speed]

Super Cruise>

[@johnroberts9922]

The Cadillac super cruise is just a nit compared with Tesla's FSD.

[@videosuperhero100]

@johnroberts9922 doesnt Supercruise only drive on highways in restricted areas... .. while fsd can drive on city streets any where in the usa and highways anywhere in the usa?

[@ryansherman4556]

fsd can also hit parked cars, building and pedestrians@@videosuperhero100

[@bobholland9924]

No offence but if your going to test the cadilac against a Tesla. It should be the S not the Y. The S was ment to be luxury. The Y was not, even though it gets categorized as luxury.

[@XX-166]

No Tesla is a luxury vehicle

[@Joey-y3p3e]

My Y has FSD - Full Self Driving. Just plug in a destination in my screen and away it goes. You do have to touch the steering wheel occasionally. I don't believe the Lyriq has FSD capabilities. Please clarify that to your audience. Meaning that my Y will transport me to the exact address/destination, not just highway driving.

[@jaysam4411]

I own a Tesla since 2019 with FSD it doesn't drive alone from address a to b... I local streets it's still a disaster. And the car is not comfortable

[@systemspm8055]

“Full self driving”, yea right, we’ve seen the videos of people curbing their Teslas and putting other’s lives at risk with this faulty software that really shouldn’t be allowed on the roads

[@jamesgenteel5819]

The testla shows you the cars around you and monitors them. You dont see that on the caddy. Also model y is 47 thousand, on the caddy you have to go to high trim levels to get super cruise wear it will drive like a plane testla without fsd. My toyota and all toyotas have lane tracing and drive themselves, caddy does not unless you get over 65 thousand dollars for level 2 or 3 or sport trim. They are not saying that. Without super cruise, you have to drive the car like a 1970. Yes lots of fancy lights but not self drive tech that comes in all toyotas free or the model y testla. The sport is 72 to 78 thousand the testla y is 47. Do the math. Also far better software in testla. This guy didnt even say you can use voice commands. All he had to say is inlock passanger door. No screen touching needed for anything

[@DM-by5sr]

I watch highlights, but they mean nothing to me. Let's see if they actually keep him & what he actually does on the field. I've seen too many good highlights & then the guy does nothing on the field aka Nakobe Dean

[@toyota420xp]

Model y is like 1/2 inch higher than a camry so not an suv. Its a bulbus hatchback

[@thepup1235]

Tesla looks like a bar of Dove soap compared to that lyriq

[@franklong6269]

1. Once you set your mirrors in the Tesla, it remembers your settings automatically, so you never have to set them again. 2. If you put the Tesla in park, the passenger doors automatically unlock. If you are in drive, the doors automatically lock. This is exactly what you want because as you are driving, you don't want to allow a carjacker to access your car at a stop light. 3. The Model Y battery is 26KW smaller than the Lyriq, and the Model Y has more range. It costs 26% less to charge the Model Y, which is significantly less than the Lyriq. 4. The Model Y will beat the Lyriq at any speed. 5. The GPS system on the Lyriq is pathetic compared to the Model Y, and you don't even mention it. 6. The Model Y has the Tesla supercharger network to charge on when traveling. It's the most extensive charging network on the planet, and you don't even mention this fact Before you review a car, do your homework. You obviously don't even understand basic functions on the Model Y. Your review really is quite pathetic.

[@appleiphone69]

It’s comparable to the 5 passenger X

[@Tellthetruth365]

Tesla is not a luxury vehicle. It’s not in the same class as Cadillac

[@ronniemullis8717]

Tesla seems to be going the way of the VW Beatle, keep the same body style forever.

[@harriettanthony7352]

And the tactic worked for decades, till they ruined the entire concept

[@fabioarias4846]

The difference is that Cadillac was made by car makers while Tesla is made by data engineers

[@ericgregori]

Pouch cells are dangerous. Thankfully, GM is moving away from them. We do not want another Chevy Bolt fire disaster. Some parking garages still do not allow Bolts. "One of the key factors that contributed to the strain in the relationship between GM and LG Energy Solution is GM’s decision to switch from prismatic (pouch) battery cells to cylindrical battery cells in their future electric cars." Pouch format cells burst open at very low pressures (∼50 psi) and when the liquid electrolyte and vapors fall on the hot surface of the pouch, they ignite and experience a fire.

[@703Speed]

Great to know.. Thank you.. Learn something new everyday

[@murraynewton7824]

Technically every car is at risk of catching fire. Even with the old battery packs are 5x less likely to catch fire than an internal combustion engine.

[@CMedia87]

Tesla too boring for me

[@pauld6967]

Door handles. I guess you aren't familiar with classic cars, like a '67 Mustang for example. It is simplicity itself to push the big square on the Model Y (it was a button on the Mustang) with the thumb of your hand that matches the side of the car (left hand for driver's side (left side) and right hand for the passenger side (right side)) with the other four fingers wrapping around the handle. Then pull. Viola! The door is open. The Lyric is nice but with Bidenflation continuing to burden us, I think the overall best economic choice is the Model Y.

[@theoccasionalvideo]

Anyone buying a Model Y isn't burdened by inflation.

[@pauld6967]

@@theoccasionalvideo Very true. Bidenflation has been a key factor in stopping me from even getting a used Model 3, let alone affording a Model Y.
