    Monday March 21st, Celebrate Cadillac Major Milestone @ Spring Hill, Tennessee and the Future of Cadillac

      Cadillac and GM all-electric Future, what is in store?

    GM is a global company focused on advancing an all-electric future that is inclusive and accessible to all. The heart of their strategy is their Ultium Battery Platform, powering everything from mass-market to high-performance and Luxury vehicles. GM is rolling out EVs under its various subsidiaries of Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, Cadillac, Baojun and Wuling brands. Yet the focus here is Cadillac.

    GM President Mark Reuss, Cadillac Vice President Rory Harvey, Tennessee Governor Bill Lee, UAW representatives, plant employees and other officials will hold a live stream event on Monday March 21st 2022 at 11am CT available:

    HERE

    As expected, March 21st is the start of the Cadillac LYRIQ production at Spring Hill, Tennesse. GM CEO Mary Barra had stated in the past that Cadillac would originally only produce 3,200 for 2022 of the Cadillac LYRIQ. Since then Cadillac has announced that due to demand, Cadillac will now build 25,000 LYRIQ for calendar year 2022. Cadillac has confirmed that they have received 216,000 customer inquires while not confirming how many confirmed pre-orders.

    Cadillac will open for regular customer orders on May 19th for regular, series production versions of the battery-electric crossover. The 25,000 LYRIQ to be built in 2022 will feature a single motor, rear-wheel-drive powertrain, rated at 340 horsepower and 324 pound-feet of torque with a 100.4 kWh Ultium Battery Pack rated for an estimated 300 miles of range on a full charge. All-wheel-drive versions will enter production starting in 2023

    The live stream is expected to cover this production start and a more detailed plan on the commitment to Cadillac's all-electric future.

    GM has invested $2 billion in the Spring Hill Assembly plant to support production of Cadillac EVs. The facility is also expected to build under contract for Honda Motor Corporation their first luxury Electric Acura Crossover also on the Ultium platform.

      This is a Good Review of the Chinese EV and why American auto industry is Dead Man Walking. American stupidity just does not understand that competition from others have already surpassed the U.S. and no amount of Taxation on U.S. citizens is going to allow the industry to catch up. Idiot47 has truly screwed this country in going backwards as he criminally abuses the highest office in this country for his own gain. QUOTE: Chinese EV makers such as Xiaomi, BYD and Geely have earned global accolades because their cars deliver longer battery ranges and deeply integrated digital platforms. We’re talking software that feels smooth like a brand new smartphone, not a screen you have to jab five times to load a map. Plus, they often cost tens of thousands of dollars less than Western competitors. In Europe and Mexico, they’re blowing past Tesla and other EV rivals. “The competitive reality is that the Chinese are the 700-pound gorilla in the EV industry,” Ford CEO Jim Farley told me in an interview last year. “There’s no real competition from Tesla, GM or Ford with what we’ve seen from China.” Even Farley, after driving a Xiaomi SU7, said he didn’t want to part with it. I test drove a Chinese EV. Now I don’t want to buy American cars anymore.

      Spot on how far EVs have come and why fear of winter on the battery pack is so over blown for well made EVs. Modern EVs do what was nearly impossible a decade ago   Gotta love these tests that prove the folks saying EVs are expensive fails wrong. Four-year torture test on a VW EV just rewrote what high-mileage battery means

      You have the Ford CEO stating how superior their software and driving dynamics are compared to their own EVs. Clearly the rest of the world is happy with driving them even if China is spying on them via the auto. Hard to deny he feelings / thoughts on the Chinese EV.
