The problem with all the driver assist stuff is that it still expects the driver to take over at fraction of a second notice when it screws up, the bad news is that the more driver assist you have the drive pays way less attention to the road.... A recipe for disaster.
Absolutely agree. I just cannot see true autonomous driving happening before there's a slew of lawsuits for "corner cases." A "corner case" is that one-in-a-million situation that the programmers didn't plan for, so instead of running over the five nuns crossing the street, it veers over and hits "only" one baby carriage. Seems like a lot of nightmare lawsuits will happen for them before they get it to be better than a human driver. Heck, even when it is, people will still sue them because of what they consider poor choices for who they run over or what they run into.
@@CruedEP exactly.. people are commenting with no experience. unless you have it, and use it. you'll never understand how the system actually works and be able to provide a valid comment on its use and safety.

21:11 that putty is actually used for sound dampening. Think of having one hand on a drum head and hitting it verses not having your hand on it, muffles and quiets the vibrations. Lots of cars incorporate that on the undercarriage if you look.
Coming from an IT background, the problem with putting so much under the control of software is the software is not designed to be able to cope with hardware errors, all the testing is invalidated. This was proven with an electric MG recently in the UK when a guy suffered an electronics failure that caused both pedals and parking brake to become inoperative, with the car steadily driving at 30mph. There was no override in the cabin that allowed the driver to switch off or stop the vehicle. As far as I'm concnerned, such vehicles are too dangerous to pass safety tests and shuold not be sellable to the public. There was a story on public news about it.
That is not true, automotive software is designed to cope with HW errors. There is a norm for that : ISO26262. Some car manufacturer are way more relaxed towards it though. For sure most of the Chinese manufacturers, even Tesla to some extent. This norm is one of the main reason why your car evolves a lot slower than your phone for example.
@@madisons31agreed. MG aside (which is Chinese vehicle with known brake failure issues), almost all ADAS / FSD software are programmed to deal with HW failure such as that and if not automatically disengaged, can be stopped multiple ways (brakes, steering wheel, autopilot button, or touchscreen).
IT software is a world away from automotive software. Apples and oranges. The amount of test cases, coverages, traceability, functional safety, etc that is needed to achieve ASIL-D will drive any normal software developer mad. There are so many fail safes. The older OEMs, American, European, Japanese, korean all follow this.
I agree. A spare tire is such valuable insurance. 24/7 roadside assistance is great, but if you're not near a big city it can be a long wait. The spare tire shouldn't be sacrificed.
Honestly if I had to guess i would say only 10% who drive actually know how to properly change a flat tire with a spare, i always said that changing a spare tire should be mandatory in drivers ed instead of parallel parking
@@cytherians I used to work for a fleet management company and one year all of this one companies new fleet of Chevy Malibus all came with a pump/fix-a-flat setup vs a spare tire. I guess they had a few issues where sales reps cut a tire where the fix-a-flat would not work so we got a request to take all of the hundreds of Malibus already in service into dealerships to have a spare tire installed. They also changed all of their future orders to include a spare from the get go.
I am torn on this. A spare tire is good insurance. I know how to install them. That being said, though I have had spare tires in every car I have owned, I have only used a spare tire once in my driving history. And I grew up living on dirt roads. So, in 30 years of driving and half a million miles, I'm not sure I would pay extra for one. But, it all depends on how you maintain your vehicles and where you drive. If you run crap tires and don't replace them when they're worn out, you're going to need a spare. And if you don't maintain your vehicle, a spare isn't always going to save you.
One thing you can do to make the Lyriq's system more stable is to not use Apple Car Play or Android Auto wirelessly. Plug it into the USB port, and it works *SO* much better!
@@jasonhamar9951 😂 No, but wireless Apple Car Play and Android Auto are both horribly unreliable. And it doesn't matter what car, either. I've seen issues in literally every car that implements that feature. It's just not ready for prime-time yet. Plug it in to make your life a lot easier.
Cadillac doesnt make good cars. They make cars that are quiet for 20k miles, then something goes wrong and it spends 2 months in the shop requiring sound isolation and deadening to get removed to fix shit, and the warranty doesnt cover sounds deadening.
I dont think I could shake that "final destination" feeling when driving. Like everything is fine, but could be horrific any second. You have to be prepared to take over in an instant if something goes wrong.
5:30 I thought a spare tire was an important feature until I purchased a pre-owned 2010 Corolla with 125,000 miles a few months ago. The jack and spare have never been used (!). Tires are a lot better than they used to be. I continue to drive around with the equipment, but the extra weight is hard to fully justify imho.
@@heywhatsthatsmell Been a long time... decades since I had a sudden flat on my car. I have picked up plenty of screws or nails, notice it going flat, so I get it repaired. Knock on wood, so to speak.
The Lyric actually started production in March of 2022. Software development must have started two years prior to that. So GM has had over 4 years of software development to get this vehicle sorted out. Per the comments on the Lyric forum and Hoovie's experience as well, they still can't get it right.
@@redwolfexr our 2011 Lexus RX350 has never been in the shop but anything other than wear and tear maintenance. Our 2016 Cadillac XTS has had transmission, about ready for another, infotainment crashes every 18 months, exhaust leaks, pump issues, etc. It’s simply American incompetence to build anything with pride in precision engineering and quality but only for profit. Screw GM.
I think he has a gas van for road-trips. He is probably using this for local and the massive savings 30 miles for 10kw of power probably .90 or a dollar in Kansas
GM can access the Supercharger network, now (or, very soon). No idea what watts this vehicle can pull from the charger but at least the tesla network is pretty well established.
@@TheJohn8765I just did a 1500 mile trip in a Lyriq. Didn't even have to stop at Superchargers and it was pretty easy. Quick 25 minute stop every 3 hours of driving or so was pretty much what I do anyways on road trips, so really NBD.

Who else learned about "The Hook" in Auto Shop when hybrids started coming out? "It's so they can get your body off the car if you grab that big orange wire." Fun times.
Did to my son’s Mercedes. Had the wood trim and it was faded and starting to crack. We ordered some Faux carbon fiber wrap and covered all the wood. Really updated the interior and made it look newer!
7:23 Tyler had a Freudian slip moment Also Wizard breaking the plastic trim is as funny as him breaking the little tab on the air filter on the Cybertruck
The front end of the Lyriq looks nice, but if it was hit by another vehicle going just a few miles per hour, it would appear that there would be a lot of damage and money involved. 😢😢
I'm 24 now, and honestly really wouldn't seek out a new vehicle with self driving or a boatload of safety tech just yet. I do however believe that the Lyriq was a good switch!!!
The 2 valve stems are for the TPMS sensor. It is a reverse mount wheel, to have room to mount the wheel and not damage the sensor it needs to be at the back. The other is a regular valve stem so the wheels are servicable from the outside.
they must think we're all fools. if they're going to deliver cars that don't work properly, then at best I'd buy the cheapest car they sell. Who would pay extra for a luxury brand vehicle that arrives broken and goes downhill from there?
In the old days they didn't have computers powerful enough to analyse failure rates of parts with a lot of precision, so they took big margins of errors and made solid parts that didn't break. Now they can design a part to last just enough for warranty, so they can optimise their profits. If you want quality buy Toyota, GM products should be leased.
The gauge cluster in my 2004 Hummer H2 would change its language everytime I started it, the radio would occasionally make a screaming noise that would match the engine RPMs (even in park, I could tell by putting my ear next to the speaker), and sometimes the Onstar would make a call when I closed the center console. I also had several interior issues with the cheap plastics and other random electrical issues. It's comforting to see that 20 years later GM is still building complete garbage.
Im in france and few days ago I saw an ad on TV for this car. I thought I was in a dream or something, GM products of any kind are already extremely rare over here much less have ads for them, and I don't think I've ever seen a cadillac on the road of any model ever in my whole life. They can't build an EV out of a paper bag but they somehow found the marketing money to advertise for it in a country where they have a near 0% installed base, great success.
GM’s offerings in Europe are sold as Opels (and Vauxhall?) in Europe. The Opel Ampera was the Chevy Volt and the Opel Ampera-e is the Chevy Bolt. The Ultium battery platform has a lot of great features built into it.
Why? He was getting his money back approximately. He also made a few videos with it, videos with a good amount of views. So he certainly made a good profit. So where is the mistake?
12:50 "this does have the supercruise fully developed and it's usable..." 11:46 "we'll get onto the highway, that is the one limitation of supercruise" - pretty big limitation
Watching this video I did see one design flaw , when you opened the charger port my thought went to what if its snowing? The snow will build up and make it hard to close.
The caddy was an excellent choice compared to Tesla's jagged piece of metal. It was nice to see what real engineering looks like. You timed the market perfectly. That is an excellent video and an excellent buy.
Watchn' this video after gettn' my friend some 300 eur second hand race bicycle... I love Tyler's cheap things. Remind me that my 80k mortgage is actually nothing at all. A hupty in Ed's math + some marble on the fireplace. Love it.
I feel Hoovie's pain on the garage build. I'm in the midst of one myself. Actually now 11 months into the 3 month project and hoping to be done in the next few days, but... who knows.
My 24 Silverado 1500 High Country has Super Cruise! I absolutely love it, only had it for a month and a half, already have 4000 miles. 2600 of Super Cruise alpine
Tesla does actually have cameras that check if you look at the road, and gives you warnings if you dont. If the behaviour repeats it turns off autopilot until next drive, and with multiple repeats autopilot will be blocked for a week I think.
Also he was wrong about putting a weight on the steering wheel. Since people was actually doing that some years ago they changed so the force can't be constant. A human hand will not pull/push constant but a weight would.
@@thedopplereffect00 it's not bricking, it's holding the driver up for s while, because they're a total fuck up. Use as intended, or don't use it. Shouldn't the company have the freedom to decide how their products are supposed to work?
20:34 The wheel has 2 valve stems because the tires come equipped with nitrogen (hence the green valve stem cap). GM likley does a factory fill with Nitrogen so the tire pressure won't fluctuate greately, which will increase range. When filling tires with nitrogen you have one stem open while the nitrogen is added through the other stem which forces any residual air out of the tire.
I just wanna start off by saying this is far from the dumbest automotive show on RUclips. This is actually one of the most informative and interesting places to be on RUclips Continue to be an icon
@djwilliams4714 would've been if they'd used actual facts over hate by brand. He said many wrong and bias based things. Tesla is the most American car built, the fsd is lightyears better than gm system requiring precise mapping meaning can't be any construction. The Teslas have eye monitoring now, the weights haven't worked for a long time, etc. Take outdated info and experience on a new release vehicle untested, then spew uninformed bias against the main vehicles of Tesla. Sorry but I hated Tesla for years, but I researched them this year and they are the most American car with good quality, lowest cost to own, and best most reliable tech. GM has massive work to catch up as Tesla sells 10x their nearest competitor, which is Ford. Tesla quality is improving by leaps already comparable to Toyota and using brand won't stand up. Now Chevys new ev truck, that is a homerun, good quality, excellent range, and perfect utility.
Not sure trading an EV due to catastrophic depreciation for another EV is the swiftest move. They're ALL experiencing varying degrees of severe depreciation, even the most basic ones.
He bought this used, it already suffered 43% depreciation so he's probably ok. Like it does have 300 mile range and only 9,000 miles on it so even if you imagine he sells it next year with say 15,000 miles on it. It's going to still be worth 30,000 at least right? Just on the basis of a 2 year old nice car with low miles. He only paid 40,000 for it. I wouldn't be surprised either if it was 35,000 just cause again, it's already dropped MOST of the value. If they are still selling new ones for 70,000 that will put a certain floor on the used prices because of course if it was say 20,000 well you'd have NO ONE buying the new ones all buying the used, driving up demand, driving up prices. So 30-35k will probably be the price next year. He's losing nothing on the deal given that he also gets one year of use of a vehicle which has value. If you value that at say even 200 a month he's losing at most a couple hundred a month in depreciation. Cybertruck on the other hand? 50k next year will buy you one. That thing will be losing thousands of dollars every single month in depreciation.
The glare from the chrome trim was something I noticed and couldn't stand about a GMC Acadia I rented one time. I can't believe they are still making this design mistake. The inset trim in the steering wheel is also obnoxious and uncomfortable to grip.
Spare Tyre, how about just the tyre, not the wheel? could be packaged to fit somewhere esp low provile the centre of tyre space used for storage or cables or 12 v battery etc?

21:11 that putty is actually used for sound dampening. Think of having one hand on a drum head and hitting it verses not having your hand on it, muffles and quiets the vibrations. Lots of cars incorporate that on the undercarriage if you look.

Coming from an IT background, the problem with putting so much under the control of software is the software is not designed to be able to cope with hardware errors, all the testing is invalidated. This was proven with an electric MG recently in the UK when a guy suffered an electronics failure that caused both pedals and parking brake to become inoperative, with the car steadily driving at 30mph. There was no override in the cabin that allowed the driver to switch off or stop the vehicle. As far as I'm concnerned, such vehicles are too dangerous to pass safety tests and shuold not be sellable to the public. There was a story on public news about it.
That is not true, automotive software is designed to cope with HW errors. There is a norm for that : ISO26262. Some car manufacturer are way more relaxed towards it though. For sure most of the Chinese manufacturers, even Tesla to some extent.
This norm is one of the main reason why your car evolves a lot slower than your phone for example.
@@madisons31agreed. MG aside (which is Chinese vehicle with known brake failure issues), almost all ADAS / FSD software are programmed to deal with HW failure such as that and if not automatically disengaged, can be stopped multiple ways (brakes, steering wheel, autopilot button, or touchscreen).
IT software is a world away from automotive software. Apples and oranges. The amount of test cases, coverages, traceability, functional safety, etc that is needed to achieve ASIL-D will drive any normal software developer mad.
There are so many fail safes. The older OEMs, American, European, Japanese, korean all follow this.
I can tell you are from an IT background and not a software background

5:18 it's not "lack of spare tire" is "extra space" /s
I hate this marketing BS towards cost cutting.
I agree. A spare tire is such valuable insurance. 24/7 roadside assistance is great, but if you're not near a big city it can be a long wait. The spare tire shouldn't be sacrificed.
Honestly if I had to guess i would say only 10% who drive actually know how to properly change a flat tire with a spare, i always said that changing a spare tire should be mandatory in drivers ed instead of parallel parking
@@cytherians I used to work for a fleet management company and one year all of this one companies new fleet of Chevy Malibus all came with a pump/fix-a-flat setup vs a spare tire. I guess they had a few issues where sales reps cut a tire where the fix-a-flat would not work so we got a request to take all of the hundreds of Malibus already in service into dealerships to have a spare tire installed. They also changed all of their future orders to include a spare from the get go.
Gas cars want better MPG ratings, also more advertised storage. Sounds like no run flats on this since all the talk of smooth ride.
I am torn on this. A spare tire is good insurance. I know how to install them. That being said, though I have had spare tires in every car I have owned, I have only used a spare tire once in my driving history. And I grew up living on dirt roads. So, in 30 years of driving and half a million miles, I'm not sure I would pay extra for one. But, it all depends on how you maintain your vehicles and where you drive. If you run crap tires and don't replace them when they're worn out, you're going to need a spare. And if you don't maintain your vehicle, a spare isn't always going to save you.

One thing you can do to make the Lyriq's system more stable is to not use Apple Car Play or Android Auto wirelessly. Plug it into the USB port, and it works *SO* much better!
That holds true for any car.
Plug it in ? This isn’t 1970
@@jasonhamar9951 😂 No, but wireless Apple Car Play and Android Auto are both horribly unreliable. And it doesn't matter what car, either. I've seen issues in literally every car that implements that feature. It's just not ready for prime-time yet. Plug it in to make your life a lot easier.

You didn't wonder why somebody got rid of this Cadillac after 9,000 miles?
I doubt there’s much speculation about why the first owner dumped it.
What was there to wonder. Cadillac owners buy Cadillacs not evs
Cadillac doesnt make good cars. They make cars that are quiet for 20k miles, then something goes wrong and it spends 2 months in the shop requiring sound isolation and deadening to get removed to fix shit, and the warranty doesnt cover sounds deadening.
Cadillac was probably a 'brass hat'... A vehicle that is demo-driven by the management of the dealership, to check it out.
Coronavirus
I dont think I could shake that "final destination" feeling when driving. Like everything is fine, but could be horrific any second. You have to be prepared to take over in an instant if something goes wrong.
5:30 I thought a spare tire was an important feature until I purchased a pre-owned 2010 Corolla with 125,000 miles a few months ago.
The jack and spare have never been used (!). Tires are a lot better than they used to be. I continue to drive around with the equipment, but the extra weight is hard to fully justify imho.
The tires are better ? Well the nails are just as bad as ever. I still get flats where I drive.
@@heywhatsthatsmell Been a long time... decades since I had a sudden flat on my car. I have picked up plenty of screws or nails, notice it going flat, so I get it repaired. Knock on wood, so to speak.
The Lyric actually started production in March of 2022. Software development must have started two years prior to that. So GM has had over 4 years of software development to get this vehicle sorted out. Per the comments on the Lyric forum and Hoovie's experience as well, they still can't get it right.
GM is shorthand for “Half-assed and overpriced.”
You obviously aren't in IT... users can break anything. The first 2 years of development are meaningless.
My Cadillac broke often. My Lexus, not so much.
@@redwolfexr our 2011 Lexus RX350 has never been in the shop but anything other than wear and tear maintenance. Our 2016 Cadillac XTS has had transmission, about ready for another, infotainment crashes every 18 months, exhaust leaks, pump issues, etc. It’s simply American incompetence to build anything with pride in precision engineering and quality but only for profit. Screw GM.
That’s one advantage that Tesla has where all their software is the same for all their cars. Instead of having custom versions for every model.
I think you need to go on a trip and see How great it is to find a charging place and how long it will take!!
lol
I think he has a gas van for road-trips. He is probably using this for local and the massive savings 30 miles for 10kw of power probably .90 or a dollar in Kansas
GM can access the Supercharger network, now (or, very soon). No idea what watts this vehicle can pull from the charger but at least the tesla network is pretty well established.
@@TheJohn8765I just did a 1500 mile trip in a Lyriq. Didn't even have to stop at Superchargers and it was pretty easy. Quick 25 minute stop every 3 hours of driving or so was pretty much what I do anyways on road trips, so really NBD.
Still.. EV’s arn’t the future and far from sustainable of course.

Two valve stems are for nitrogen fill, draw out the air with one and fill with the other.
tip: use black car wrap to wrap your plastic bling. Works fantastically, looks good.

That wire to cut is the pilot line, and will disable the high voltage system.
I would take that to Vango and have him do little wrap on that chrome. 😮
The front end of the Lyriq looks nice, but if it was hit by another vehicle going just a few miles per hour, it would appear that there would be a lot of damage and money involved.
😢😢
I'm 24 now, and honestly really wouldn't seek out a new vehicle with self driving or a boatload of safety tech just yet. I do however believe that the Lyriq was a good switch!!!
The 2 valve stems are for the TPMS sensor. It is a reverse mount wheel, to have room to mount the wheel and not damage the sensor it needs to be at the back. The other is a regular valve stem so the wheels are servicable from the outside.

The quality issues with cars now days is mind blowing, but then add the hefty price tags in todays market and it is just criminally insane!
they must think we're all fools. if they're going to deliver cars that don't work properly, then at best I'd buy the cheapest car they sell. Who would pay extra for a luxury brand vehicle that arrives broken and goes downhill from there?
You can thank the government for that. They're forcing car makers to make them lighter fragile and of course mission friendly. So this is the result.
Apparently so too are aircraft. Quality control in general is nonexistent in 2024…
@@Arctic5fox CAFE standards making the car market worse and worse.
In the old days they didn't have computers powerful enough to analyse failure rates of parts with a lot of precision, so they took big margins of errors and made solid parts that didn't break. Now they can design a part to last just enough for warranty, so they can optimise their profits. If you want quality buy Toyota, GM products should be leased.
A company from Michigan placing a speaker on the bottom of a car is wild

Nothing wild about it EV's are quiet they all have speakers to make a noise so you can hear it it's a safety issue 🤷♂️
@@jasoncaine2600 Required by federal law, BTW.
The gauge cluster in my 2004 Hummer H2 would change its language everytime I started it, the radio would occasionally make a screaming noise that would match the engine RPMs (even in park, I could tell by putting my ear next to the speaker), and sometimes the Onstar would make a call when I closed the center console. I also had several interior issues with the cheap plastics and other random electrical issues. It's comforting to see that 20 years later GM is still building complete garbage.
Im in france and few days ago I saw an ad on TV for this car. I thought I was in a dream or something, GM products of any kind are already extremely rare over here much less have ads for them, and I don't think I've ever seen a cadillac on the road of any model ever in my whole life.
They can't build an EV out of a paper bag but they somehow found the marketing money to advertise for it in a country where they have a near 0% installed base, great success.
GM’s offerings in Europe are sold as Opels (and Vauxhall?) in Europe. The Opel Ampera was the Chevy Volt and the Opel Ampera-e is the Chevy Bolt. The Ultium battery platform has a lot of great features built into it.
Getting the Cybertruck was the mistake. Every decision afterwards has to be viewed as a step in the right direction.

Tyler kudos on your achievements at your ranch. Give it time and you'll be ok getting straight with the power.
Tesla does actually have cameras that check if you look at the road, and gives you warnings if you dont. If the behaviour repeats it turns off autopilot until next drive, and with multiple repeats autopilot will be blocked for a week I think.
No more sleeping in the backseat 😂
Hope there is a lawsuit for bricking features you paid for
Also he was wrong about putting a weight on the steering wheel. Since people was actually doing that some years ago they changed so the force can't be constant. A human hand will not pull/push constant but a weight would.
@@pjohan74 yeah, I know about that to.
@@thedopplereffect00 it's not bricking, it's holding the driver up for s while, because they're a total fuck up. Use as intended, or don't use it. Shouldn't the company have the freedom to decide how their products are supposed to work?
Once again making the Car Wizard contemplate retirement.
20:34 The wheel has 2 valve stems because the tires come equipped with nitrogen (hence the green valve stem cap). GM likley does a factory fill with Nitrogen so the tire pressure won't fluctuate greately, which will increase range. When filling tires with nitrogen you have one stem open while the nitrogen is added through the other stem which forces any residual air out of the tire.
I use 78% nitrogen in my tires. Costs less. More readily available. Seems to work pretty well!
Your old Cybertruck they have priced 1:20 at 140 not 130. With fees that's 150. Completely crazy.

@djwilliams4714 would've been if they'd used actual facts over hate by brand. He said many wrong and bias based things. Tesla is the most American car built, the fsd is lightyears better than gm system requiring precise mapping meaning can't be any construction. The Teslas have eye monitoring now, the weights haven't worked for a long time, etc. Take outdated info and experience on a new release vehicle untested, then spew uninformed bias against the main vehicles of Tesla. Sorry but I hated Tesla for years, but I researched them this year and they are the most American car with good quality, lowest cost to own, and best most reliable tech. GM has massive work to catch up as Tesla sells 10x their nearest competitor, which is Ford. Tesla quality is improving by leaps already comparable to Toyota and using brand won't stand up. Now Chevys new ev truck, that is a homerun, good quality, excellent range, and perfect utility.
Not sure trading an EV due to catastrophic depreciation for another EV is the swiftest move. They're ALL experiencing varying degrees of severe depreciation, even the most basic ones.
That's how car ownership works in a normal market.

This was 35k and the Tesla was 111k... so no, the depreciation wont be anywhere near the same.

He bought this used, it already suffered 43% depreciation so he's probably ok. Like it does have 300 mile range and only 9,000 miles on it so even if you imagine he sells it next year with say 15,000 miles on it. It's going to still be worth 30,000 at least right? Just on the basis of a 2 year old nice car with low miles. He only paid 40,000 for it. I wouldn't be surprised either if it was 35,000 just cause again, it's already dropped MOST of the value. If they are still selling new ones for 70,000 that will put a certain floor on the used prices because of course if it was say 20,000 well you'd have NO ONE buying the new ones all buying the used, driving up demand, driving up prices. So 30-35k will probably be the price next year. He's losing nothing on the deal given that he also gets one year of use of a vehicle which has value. If you value that at say even 200 a month he's losing at most a couple hundred a month in depreciation.
Cybertruck on the other hand?
50k next year will buy you one.
That thing will be losing thousands of dollars every single month in depreciation.
The glare from the chrome trim was something I noticed and couldn't stand about a GMC Acadia I rented one time. I can't believe they are still making this design mistake. The inset trim in the steering wheel is also obnoxious and uncomfortable to grip.
It's because old people like it. It reminds them of the cars of their youth. It's why you only really find it on cars aimed to an older demographic
