2024 CADILLAC LYRIQ ROAD TRIP FROM DALLAS, TX TO WACO, TX. GREAT CHARGING.

EV Channels Review

The reviewer embarks on a road trip in the 2024 Cadillac Lyriq, highlighting its exceptional comfort, quietness, and luxurious ride quality, comparing it favorably to high-end European brands. However, the review is heavily critical of the Lyriq's EV technology, particularly its unreliable and slow charging performance and a poorly functioning mobile app. Despite the vehicle's impressive interior and driving dynamics, the reviewer expresses a strong intention to sell the car due to these technological shortcomings, deeming it unsuitable for frequent road-trippers. The reviewer notes that while the car is rated for 307 miles, real-world highway range in cold temperatures (40-50°F) is closer to 250 miles. A significant portion of the video is dedicated to testing DC fast charging at a Tesla Supercharger and an EVgo station, with mixed but ultimately improved results compared to previous experiences, suggesting manual preconditioning might be key. The reviewer concludes that for local driving with home charging, the Lyriq is a fantastic vehicle, but its current EV implementation is a step backward for those who rely on consistent and fast charging for longer journeys.
