Cadillac just held a press call. The big news for those interested in Lyriq is that orders open on May 19 for both rear-wheel drive (RWD) and all-wheel drive (AWD) vehicles.
RWD vehicles should begin reaching dealers by the end of May.
AWD Lyriq goes into production late this year (2022) and will begin shipping in early 2023
The Lyriq is being built in Springhill, TN.
Interestingly, Cadillac says it had more expressions of interest than they had even targeted -- 200K expected, received 233K. They expect that at least 10% of these will convert to purchases.
This begs the question, how many cars will they build this year and next, which I asked. Apparently, this is something they're still trying to get a handle on. They are aiming to build more than they had originally planned, but they are still unsure what the final number will be. Constraints are supply-chain related, both with respect to chips (like everyone right now) and batteries.
