Living With A $73,000 Cadillac LYRIQ | + Road Trip Experience! 

How do you like this car? I'm thinking about the Escalade IQ when it releases.

Where?

I love the look of it but probably not buying another car until 2 years from now.

No. 1 selling luxury suv today!

@@fredmeyer369thanks for letting us know

are other music apps available? I swap around between apple music, tidal, spotify and yt music

How much has your power/electric bill increased with the home charging station?

I'm only at gas stations once a month for ten minutes,how much time do you spend at charging stations? Even if you have one in you're home there's no getting around the hassles of different charging stations.

@@20rpsupreme Her experience won't matter. This is a function of how much you drive and recharge at home along with your rate/ kwh. Obviously those items can vary widely; however it will almost certainly be less than buying gasoline. For example- if you drove around 1200 miles per month and the Lyriq was getting around 2.6 miles per kw (many do better than that), you would be using about 460 kw/month. At $.15/kwh, you're paying about .15x460 or $70/month for the electric to drive. Some utilities have off peak charging rates, so you can charge overnight at a lower rate, likewise many have peak rates where they charge 2-3x price per kw at peak use times. You can program your home charger for what time you want it to charge. On the road, you'll have to pay 2-3x that price for high speed charging for road trips and such, but that sort of defeats the purpose of EVs and should be reserved for longer road trips and for charging just enough to get you to a slower/destination/your garage charger. Currently you're mostly avoiding road taxes due to the taxes added to gasoline that aren't tacked on to electricity, though some states charge more for registration, which is fair considering the damage heavy EVs can do to highways relative to lighter cars. Another factor less discussed is the lower maintenance costs- no oil to change, longer brake life, no air filters, spark plugs, emissions, etc. You can save battery life by precooling and preheating while still plugged in, etc. Transportation is changing rapidly. It will be interesting to see how things look in 10-20 years.

@@richardmorris7063 I personally never charge at public stations. If you can afford a Lyric you probably have a home with a garage and can charge it at home. The cost to charge at home is much cheaper than charging at a public charger. The cheapest fast chargers are around 36¢/KW, vs at home I would pay between 17$/KW - 26¢/KW, depending on what tier I fall into that month. If you are someone who does a lot of long road trips, then you may want to look at the Teslas, Hyundai, Kia, Genesis and Porches. They charge in a much shorter time. For instance the Ionic 6 goest from 10% - 80% in 18 minutes and get over 350 mile in range. So drive for about 4.5 hours stop and use the restroom and get a snack and when you come out, your car is ready to go.

How is Caddy? I'm thinking about getting the Escalade IQ when it releases.

Yikes. The sales people & owner might not be happy if service people are saying dont buy the car. How many did they have on the lot?

@@renegadezen7841 They had at least 30 to 40 Lyriq's on the lot.

@@corpnupe85 wowww! Good luck selling those. They are going to struggle

@@renegadezen7841 The dealer will most likely begin to offer massive discounts to sell the vehicles.

+330 miles at 70 mph will get you pretty far!

Please explain.

This one is pretty well optioned. AWD makes it a bit pricier. Definitely a lot of incentives on these now

Or buy a Tesla.

Most of us charge at home...no problems there.

Then why watch an ev video?

@@rimalaw77 because I’m not closed minded. Politicians have been asking for more electric cars for decades. First thing they should have done was to make charging electric cars CONVENIENT by making it easy like filling gasoline. Unfortunately politicians do things ass backwards. Constant headaches finding charging stations that are out of order & anxiety if your out of town. How long to fill tank ? Will it fill ?? Maybe 20 min - maybe 24 hrs 😂😂😂Not for me thx. Maybe hybrid ??

I hate auto climate control lol

@@EddieX How is it any different than the controls in your house? What is to "hate" about keeping a constant temperature?

No one is paying MSRP.

$299-399 leases on Lyriq makes it a very for good deal.

It is one of the best priced luxury evs on the market. Don’t know what you are talking about.

$299-399 is below normal for Lyriq.

Well, when the power is knocked out, gas pumps aren’t pumping gas, either.

Just let us know when you plan your EV trip across Canada so we can do a death watch.
