2024 CADILLAC LYRIQ IS A DO NOT BUY GETTING RID OF MINE TODAY! BAD CHARGING! STAY AWAY!

EV Channels Review

The reviewer is parting ways with their 2024 Cadillac Lyriq after only 8 months and 4,000 miles due to significant issues, primarily with its EV charging performance and poor depreciation. Despite praising the Lyriq's luxurious interior, comfort, quiet ride, and striking aesthetics, the reviewer found its real-world EV capabilities severely lacking for road-tripping. Charging is described as inconsistent, unreliable, and excessively slow, often taking 40 minutes or more per stop, compared to 12 minutes for a Tesla Model Y. The reviewer also criticizes Cadillac corporate for slow and confusing buyback processes and poor communication, contrasting it with the excellent service from the Grapevine, Texas dealership. The vehicle has depreciated approximately 40% in 8 months, a major concern for the reviewer. Ultimately, the recommendation is a strong 'do not buy' for those who road trip, citing it as a "terrible EV" despite being a "spectacularly beautiful" car. For local use and home charging, a used Lyriq might be a bargain, but reliability for longer journeys is deemed unacceptable.
