Cadillac hits the right note with Lyriq
As a guy that grew up in the 80s and 90s drooling over Cadillacs and Lincolns from that point forward, as well as owning several Lincolns over the years, I had mixed feelings about my first Cadillac being an EV. I longed for the days of the mushy land yacht ride with a V8 eating up miles while you relaxed on a seat shaped something like your living room sofa. I’ve had my Lyriq (Lux 2 AWD) for 2 full months and I can’t imagine going back to a gas vehicle. The instantaneous power of an EV is intoxicating. The comfort and ride are spot on for what I would expect an evolved Cadillac to be. It’s soft but not mushy. The interior is roomy with enough space in the back for a road trip. My only 2 comments would be: 1. I would like more than 1 choice to get a real leather interior. The synthetic material is comfortable, but you can tell it’s not real leather. I’m not a fan of the saddle brown color, so I had to get the synthetic material. And you have to get the top trim level for that to even be an option. 2. As mentioned in another review, I wish the AC was a little more powerful. I live in South Florida and good strong AC is a matter of survival, not comfort. I don’t know if that is in vent size/placement or the mechanical side, but it needs to cool the cabin faster. I would have given it 5 stars across the board if the AC performed a little better. Overall, though, I do not regret the purchase at all. It has been 100% trouble free since I got it. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a luxury EV.

LYRIQ Software bugs, low quality app...
We have put up with the "open and close right rear window" message since day one. The dealer has no clue. We did not buy the upgraded packages, so we have none of the Google features. Finally, we decided to take it on the open road and the app on my phone just up and disappeared. My wife's hung in for the trip. The app took up to a Tesla charger, but then would not turn on the charger. Yes it worked at a previous Tesla stop. Maybe GM owns the EVGo company that charges almost as much as gasoline per mile driven. And on long drives the absence of a good place for arms is a problem. It has been nine months and still unable to figure out how to open the rear door. It is too difficult to navigate the software. Why they did not drive a Tesla when they were designing the interface is anyone's guess. PS -- I have driven Tesla S since 2013.
