Took delivery of a 2024 Lyriq Sport 3 AWD just 2 weeks ago. It is an incredible SUV.

The Lyriq is by far the better looking inside and outside plus much more convenient controls.

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.

I think the range of the caddy is much better than the model Y. I have a model Y long range which is supposed to be 535KM but in reality I get 350KM!! It's brutal. I bet the GM gets more than the stated range because my chevy Bolt certainly did. Needless to say, I'm considering selling my Y for this Lyric.

FYI... Lyriq Sport and Luxury are at the same level. Sport isn't an upper trim level. Just different exterior trim and grille lighting.

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.

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

Very nice video. You hit a lot of the important points as well as how you articulate it. Although I kept thinking that you look like Jimmy from Shameless lol. Nice job!

This is the first review I'm seen from you that compares two cars . . excellent job . . I also like the fact that you have someone else doing the video work while you talk, which makes the video look very professional. ( favorite line of the video "I Will Get On It . . WHY NOT" )

Haha thank you

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.

All of this stuff you mentioned is great information, but there is one area you really didn't cover. The difference between the Computer Systems. I like how Tesla shows you the road and all the cars around you while you're driving. Does the Lyriq do that too? I like that Tesla has a lot of cameras all around the vehicle, does the Cadillac have all those cameras too? I would like to know more on the differences of the Computer Systems/Technology of the cars, not just the differences of the way they look, drive, and feel.

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. Yes, Cadillac has committed to making their cars compatible with the Tesla Supercharger network, but at first it will only use an adapter that is not yet available.

I have the 24 Lyriq, and just this past weekend we drove it on a 4 hour roadtrip from Houston to Dallas which actually took 4:45 mins because of charging. 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 probably would of chosen a Cadillac if they wouldn’t of abandoned there EV research back in the day. But they did and now they have to play catch up.

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

Would have been great to have a ICE version

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.

I will start this by saying I am not a fan of EV's. That being said, I work for a Cadillac dealership and drive a Lyriq every day. The in town range I am seeing is in the 350-375 range and I have checked that against actual mile driven and it is very accurate. I have driven very little at highway speeds but the little I have the range would definitely be less according what I have seen on the indicated draw. I have been presently surprised about how much I have enjoyed driving the Lyriq compared to the Escalades i was driving previously. I still think EV's are a long way away from being ready for long distance, over the road trips but around town, I really do think they are ideal.

Minimalist design is such a turnoff for me

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.

I have no allegiance to either of these brands but these two vehicles aren't really comparable. The Lyriq is on another level in comfort and finish.

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).

Comparing the Cadillac Lyriq to Tesla is somewhat insulting 😊. The Lyriq is light years ahead in terms of quality, built and luxury. I had the Y and everything squeaks and rattles.

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.

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.

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.

Battery technology needs to improve. The Cadillac gets 307 miles of range. Have fun taking that on a 1,000+ mile road trip. It will probably be somewhere around 250 to 260 miles (I’m guessing here) due to having the heat or ac running. The battery also degrades overtime so that 307 miles will go down each year. I think these battery packs need to get to about 500 miles per full charge to make it worth it.
