We have a 23 Debut Edition w/2yr free EVgo. Don't feel guilty about using the perk. You have every right to the chargers. Esp if you are doing 50k miles per year. That is going to be a big perk. Enjoy! thx for the video. I enjoyed watching.
@@thenetworkarchitectchannel congrats on your 23 Lyriq. I didn’t know they made a Debut edition. I will look that up. Thanks for the comments and feedback!
Enjoyed the video! Couple questions if u don’t mind. Looking at buying one out of state. Do they give you the charging card at the dealership. Wasn’t sure if I could use the credit for the trip back to our home state or pay out of pocket for the time being. Can you route your trips to specifically stop at the EVgo charging stations so u can use those credits on a regular basis and lastly was the color choice of the vehicle a difficult one? I love that color but the wife is favoring the white one. Much Thanks and best of luck with it.
The dealership has to setup the charging for you with your email address. It just magically gets added to your evgo account. It took about a week or so until mine activated. I would plan on paying for charging at first. They have some amazing colors. I really liked the silver in the sun. The metallic flakes in the paint sold it to me.
@@oscarreynaable so far it seems fairly close. Mine has the 22 inch wheels. Super quiet and great ride and handling but those definitely cut into the overall range.
Bought my '24 Lyriq Sport 3 in June. Love it. Thinking of getting another one. I too have charging at home, but am taking full advantage of the 2 year EVgo perk. Why not? Can't wait for the Tesla charging to open up for the added piece or mind and convenience. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Ik that’s right me too 😂❤😂. Everyone keeps asking me have I had my charger installed yet? My answer is NO😂 Why should I rush I have two years to get it installed. I have everything ready to go.. 240 line done DTE done I just have to get the charger. Please check with your light company. They offer a $1,500 rebate on installation as well as Cadillac and My light company offer a $500 cash rebate on the charger, so please check with your Electric company on any extra rebates. Yes EXTRA rebates
Hey Travis, I saw that you can add different displays to your main gauge cluster from another video. In the main infotainment there should be something called Vehicle Status > Energy Info > Energy Usage > selecting one should allow you to hit the 'add to main driver display'.
Great video thanks! I see it was a pretty hot day too. I definitely think there are some vehicle specific issues out there that are giving some people bad charging experiences. It seems like the majority have nice charge curves, but some are still dropping down to 50 kWh after just a few minutes of charging. Not sure what’s going on there.
@@cscorona1 thanks for watching. I appreciate your comments. I agree with you. In my opinion the software and the vehicle charging systems need to continue to get better. What’s that being said I’m pretty happy with the Cadillac lyric, the Tesla model Y, and the Rivian R1T. All three of our vehicles do a great job.
@@ByTesla237 I’ve got the free charging on my Lyriq as well but have yet to use it (I’ve just been home charging). Trying to run my battery down this weekend to take it to the 350 kWh EVgo charger to see how it does! Question - I assume your battery preconditioned since you put the destination in google maps?
yes if you use the built in Google navigation and navigate to the specific charger (not the address but the actual named charger) it will precondition. I’ve done it multiple times and it’s working great for me.
@@SJVH1 thanks as always!!! It’s the Sport 3 variant which includes upgraded 22” alloy wheels with midnight color accents. They are really good looking wheels to me.
@@carslover1384 it varies based on where you live and your energy provider or fueling station of choice. Here’s some guesses It has around 100kWh battery. My home charging is around $.10/kWh - so $10 for home. My normal charging stop is around .35/kWh - so $35 to charge on the road. That would be for a completely full charge.
@@ByTesla237 oh alright, it actually isn’t that bad considering if u get a 5 series and pre I’m gas. Much more savings. thank you so much for the prompt reply, enjoying your Lyriq vids. Hope u have fun with it!
When I purchased my Lyriq I had the option to get a free GM charger and free installation or 2 years of EVgo free charging. I choose EVgo since I already have multiple chargers installed in my garages.
@@chadntm8189 I didn’t think it was bad.. it held pretty steady. Of course it could always be better. Also it was pretty hot outside so thermals might have caused some derate.
@@chadntm8189 20-80 in under 30 minutes is pretty good for me! It’s maybe a few minutes more than some other vehicles, but I wouldn’t consider it slow by any means.
I’m absolutely getting the free charging. Saying you are blocking the charger is like telling a mechanic to fix his own car in his garage even though his shop would do it for free just because it’s taking a reservation spot for a potential customer. That’s ridiculous. Or if I get stock options at work should I not take them so I am not taking them for the public who wants to buy at full price? Again, ridiculous.
@@AffableAlpaca valid point and I appreciate it. But pedestrian shouldn’t walk in front of the cars in the direction of cars are going. They should cross the roadway. I always give a sense emergency to get across the roadway if vehicles are coming. I think there’s entitlement in the other direction and I didn’t explain it right.
@@ByTesla237 @ByTesla237 Thank you for the response. That pedestrian crossed in front of your vehicle in a parking lot, not a road. In parking lots drivers should be yielding to pedestrians and pedestrians should be using crosswalks where available and maintaining situational awareness (not have their nose in their phones excessively). It's the same principle of driving carefully on residential streets where pedestrians, particularly children could appear adjacent to or in the roadway.

Great video man. Does your Lyriq have the larger 19.2 kwh onboard charging?
@@oscarreynaable thanks much - no it doesn’t. Standard AC charging which honestly is plenty fast in my opinion.
@ByTesla237 Got it. The miles that is estimates for range is it accurate on a road trip?

that's awesome!! Congrats!!
Take it the 2 years was a big incentive and offsets the cost in a lot of ways. Will be reassuring having access to 4 EV’s for work.
It was a great added bonus for sure. I drive a lot of miles. This is significant for me and I will put a ton of miles on it kicking.
Hey Travis,

Great tip and thank you for sharing. I will give that a shot and check it out.

@@ByTesla237 charged 40-80% today in under 23 minutes. I’d say I’m pretty happy with that!
@@cscorona1yeah I’d be happy with that too!! Glad it worked for you and free too!! It’s the best feeling ever - having free juice.
Always watch your videos to end. Like the Lyriq Black Wheels, Standard or optional?
@@SJVH1 thanks as always!!! It’s the Sport 3 variant which includes upgraded 22” alloy wheels with midnight color accents. They are really good looking wheels to me.
Hey, so how much would a full charge cost be if u didn’t have the free charging ?
Thanks

How do you get the 2 year free charge at evgo

@@ByTesla237 thanks
Wow after road tripping in an EV for the 1st time, Idk how people do this in non-Teslas.
@@GenieFarms it’s interesting… but as the Tesla network opens up it’s much easier. Love road tripping in the rivian now.
the charging rate feels a bit on the slow side

All valid points
"Pedestrians lately have just been walking, they absolutely walk in front of vehicles which is fascinating, probably not healthy for them"
