I have never owned an Ev and I am getting ready to make the jump. However this sub terrifies me, all I read about is software issues and "Bricking".
If I buy a 2024 am I screwed with the software issue?
Is a 2025 the better option due to any software issues being fixed? Are there any lyriq owners who dont constantly deal with issues?
Asking as I’m wanting to get the Lyriq but will be moving in the next 1-2 years (I own the home I live in), and don’t necessarily want to invest into installing a home charger when I know I will be moving. I will absolutely install a home charger in the next home I purchase as we will be living there for a long time.
For context: I do work from home and probably drive 50-60 miles per week between gym/groceries/socializing. I live in Greensboro, NC currently where the charging network doesn’t seem to be fantastic but not awful? We’ll be moving to Wilmington, NC next year.
Any insight from those who have successfully owned an EV without a home charger for some time will be appreciated!
Girlfriend backed up and hit my car and cracked the bottom light grille. Anyone know how much the repair will be?
We installed a 60amp tesla charger in my office building for my boss. Now that I have a Lyriq I would love to take advantage of it. Another employee had issues using an adapter on a Inoniq.
Anyway Will an adaptor (good to 80 amps) work on this style charger. I’m banking to get 5 hours in daily.
Is it more than just hands free highway driving? How much does it cost?
Hi guys, this is a website I made to help people understand how much each electric vehicle really costs.
I understand that I’m preaching to the choir on /r/CadillacLyriq
However, I think this website brings things into terms that most people are already used to.
MPGe is an amazing standard. It truly gives us a constant, just like MPG does, and it’s great for comparing electric vehicles. But it’s not very good at showing the real-world cost in a way most people are used to understanding.
When I compare vehicles, I use the price per gallon and the price per kWh for that day, and that gives me an equivalent MPG.
This is the formula:
Equivalent MPG = MPGe × gas price per gallon / (33.7 × electricity price per kWh)
So let’s say you have an Equinox EV that gets 108 MPGe, and let’s compare it in Florida, where gas is $4 per gallon and electricity is mostly $0.15 per kWh when charging at home.
That means the Equinox is actually like an 85.5 MPG car. That is way easier to digest than 108 MPGe.
And that makes the comparison much easier.
That number changes drastically if electricity or gas prices change, which makes it very different for each situation. But MPG is still the number that everybody uses for comparison, and I don’t think it should be completely ditched yet.
For example, if you charge on the road in Florida, you might need to pay up to $0.68 per kWh.
That makes the same car more like an 18.9 MPG car. That’s not great at all. It’s fine once in a while or for road trips, but if you can’t charge at home, it can make an electric car more expensive than a normal gas one.
At the same time, if you have an Equinox EV and you drive very carefully, you can get up to 4.5 mi/kWh, or 151.7 MPGe. It’s not easy, but it’s feasible. That makes the same car capable of around 120 MPG.
And up to now, we were talking about Florida. Let’s change the conversation to California.
California has an average electricity price of $0.30 per kWh and gas at $5.86 per gallon.
The same car that is capable of getting 85.5 MPG in Florida becomes a 62.6 MPG car in California. At that point, a hybrid with 50+ MPG might make more sense.
That makes it easier to put things into perspective.
Most early adopters had to calculate how much they drive each day to see in how many years an electric car would become financially viable, but that was before, when EVs were still a premium product. Sooner or later, electric cars are getting really close to normal gas car prices. At this point, there is less reason to compare 5-year savings and more reason to compare actual day-to-day running costs.
A comparison between MPG and MPGe can make someone make a bad choice because they do not clearly see the difference. I made this mistake myself. I used my formula, and even then, sometimes I used MPGe directly and fell into that mental trap.
A direct comparison between a normal MPG car and a personalized MPG for a specific electric car might be the next useful step.
On the website, I tried to make it as easy as possible to do a direct comparison, but I also included options to calculate using price per liter, mi/kWh, km/kWh, kWh/100 km, and kWh/100 miles. There is also an efficiency equivalent at the end of the page with all conversions using this personalized formula.
I also added a multi-vehicle comparison.
You can add gas price, electricity price, diesel price, and then add as many cars as you want to compare. I also added a reverse equivalent MPGe for gas cars, just for fun, and you can actually use MPGe vs equivalent/personalized MPGe as a comparison if you want. Maybe one day electric cars will be the majority and this tool will be used more for that comparison instead.
I tried to make it as simple as possible, but if you want me to add anything, or if you find any errors, let me know and I will try to fix them as fast as possible.

I’ve bought and returned about 4 tablet holders. With the unique seat backing on the front seats, it makes a lot of tablet holder not possible. I tried a clip on tablet holder (there isn’t enough grip area for it to hold around the rear ac area) and the cup holders in back sit too far back for a “cup holder tablet holder”.
What has worked for others? I ideally won’t have a tablet holder that requires it to be connected to both seats.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong here, if anyone with experience can help. I have developer options on, I have tried both on/off for ADB debugging. I have the infiniti equalizer apk download to a fat32 formatted flashdrive, plugged into the lower front console USB port. When I try to install using ADP off it says it requires ADB debugging. When I turn it off, it says I need to enable wireless debugging which doesn't exist in the developer setting (and makes no sense since I'm connecting a physical flash drive). What am I doing wrong here?
as title says, I came across this car with low mileage (12193) for 42990 $ ( taxes and others included - 49112 $)
Original window sticker from carfax shows 75,710$
No accidents and single owner, it was registered on 11/6/24
So it has lot of bumper to bumper warranty for another 2.5 years and dealer is adding another 1 year as its a CPO car
I looked at 2024 Lyriq issues online and I don’t see any constant issues but just a few here and there
I wanted to check with community opinion on this ?
I’m thinking 50k is more for a 2 year old electric car but I could be wrong
Thanks for any inputs
What would you consider a good deal on a 23 debut edition
I've tried to find and use exact apk build number from YouTube tutorial:
But install fails with: ..."enable Install from Unknown Sources" - but I can’t find that setting anywhere.
LYRIQ SPORT 2024
Just posting to see if anyone is interested in taking over my basically brand new lease. Just got the car September 2025. ZERO issues what so ever. Dealer just completed tire rotation (free courtesy service included with lease). I’m only considering letting it go because I’m expecting a kid this summer and will need a bit more space for my growing family!
12K miles/year. Payment is $589.69 with 17 payments left. 6,866 on odometer (I am under miles). GM requires that you pass credit approval and register the car in Michigan. You will be responsible for $625 transfer fee. See: GM Lease Assumption

Will add some pics soon (it's raining right now)!
Looking to get lease quotes on 25 or 26 lyric DFW area. Any sales people or lease transfers in the area?
I was trying to launch my lyriq using the one foot on brake and other on the accelerator method then i heard the brakes make a sound and the car creeped up an inch. Did this cause any damage to the brakes or power train or anything overall or am i golden?
