agree on all points.

i thought the taycan port door that moves 'inside' when opening is very cool.

Sharp looking, interior looks sweet. Can't wait for the 1st test drives. AWD model later. Production of the Lyriq will kick off at the GM Spring Hill Assembly plant in Tennessee.

If the leases are attractive, could easily see having this replace our e-tron in a few years.

It’s an ugly crossover with a stupid name.

It is so GM to not have the AWD version ready for launch, to go head-to-head with this car's direct competitors.

Sells out? …. Or just deposits?

If they sold out or reserved all of them in just 19 minutes (assuming that they are telling the truth in the first place, which doesn't always happen in the auto industry), then the supply/demand situation in the industry is even worse than we thought.

supposedly the 'refundable deposits' are just $100 and quantity wasn't huge, so this is a big nothing story.

It clearly illustrates how legacy car manufacturers continue to underestimate the demand for EVs.

By way of comparison with some other electric vehicles with comparable $100 reservation fees: the Tesla Cybertruck got 41,000 reservations in the first day and 250k in the first week of offering, the F-150 Lightning got 44,000 in two days, and the VW ID.4 sold out “a few thousand” of its “First Edition” in 8 hours.

Even though online reservations for the Debut Edition are full, GM does plan to sell additional Debut Edition Lyriqs through its dealer network, according to the model’s website. It states:
2023 Cadillac LYRIQ Debut Edition reservations are full, but more vehicles will be available to order through your Cadillac dealer starting the Summer of 2022. Contact your dealer for more details.
Lyriq deliveries begin in Q2 of 2022, so we’re less than 9 months away from seeing the first cars hit the road.

They sold out reservations. The title came from the article, designed in a way to attract more clicks
