Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.   I’m Fred Fishkin.    GM has begun production of the Cadillac Lyriq all electric vehicle…taking on the likes of Tesla, Lucid and Ford.    The first vehicles rolled off of the assembly line in Springhill, Tennessee last week.   The Debut Edition sold out in just over ten minutes and Cadillac Global VP Rory Harvey tells us demand continues to grow…

“In terms of the demographic, Cadillac will begin taking additional orders for the 2023 Lyriq on May 19^th.    We see it predominantly aimed at families but from the initial orders we’ve had for this vehicle, it’s expanded to segments that maybe we didn’t anticipate that buyers would come from.   Whether it be some of the higher performance vehicles as an example.  So a very mixed blend of customers.”

As you would expect from Cadillac…the styling is impressive.   Harvey is renewing his belief that Cadillac will be selling nothing but electric vehicles by 2030 or before.
