I am enjoying watching your recent camping / toeing vid too. Good stuff. Your content is always well crafted.

We owned a M3LR. The charging experience in the Lyriq is several generations behind Teslas. That is 90% due to the differences between public DCFCs against the Supercharger gold standard. When others r allowed to use SCs, that difference will be gone. I really think the move by Tesla takes away a key distinction and will likely end up hurting their sales. I guess we’ll see.

The HAV is great. I have heard the same in other Lyriq vids & think it is the condenser mic picking up the active noise cancellation system. I may be wrong, but think that is it. Thx 4 the nice comment. It is appreciated.

I am an amateur content creator who does it for fun. The purpose is a personal pastime about EV life, of which I am passionate. Sorry U did not enjoy I recorded a Lyriq charging curve vid u may enjoy more. It covers specific time & rates on an 20% - 80% session

Most of the time in the Lyriq, it is my wife choosing. I agree a steady 100 kW - 80 kW is often better then an erratic 150 kw - 40 kW, but my wife doesn't entertain geek speak from me well. When I post up driving, I normally choose the 100 kW Deltas at EVgo ReNew locations.

Thx! I really appreciate the warm feedback. BTW, my wife is the one driving. The Lyriq is her car. I am just the accessory that plugs in the charger for her and otherwise enjoys the view as we go down the road.

@@thenetworkarchitectchannel I truly understand. 😅 Your wife handles her car with style. That’s okay ✅ just keep us plugged in my friend. 😂 Again your videos are one of a kind. I truly enjoy them. Have a great day. ❤️🥇

Me too. Saw on another vid today they only sold 1.5k in q2. I hear from folks I know they are seeing them around though. My sister said she saw three in one day around the Chicago area, so maybe GM will turn up the water pressure on the production line soon. Thx for watching & the nice comment.

Guess supply depends on where you live. A quick search on Autotrader shows 42 Lyriqs available within 50 miles of OKC.

it has been awhile, but as I recall over 30 min. We uses all the stations in the video.

truth. Cadi has some work to do on charging curve improvements.

Plugshare.

Congratulations! Hope you love it as much as we do. My wife drove the whole 12 hrs yesterday and said the luxury comfort made it feel half as long.

Say, what maps do you use that directs you to all charging stations?

We owned a M3LR ‘19 for many years. Very reliable vehicle and amazing EV tech. Tesla is our sigil bearer for electrification & I support their efforts wholeheartedly. Thx 4 subscribing!

@@thenetworkarchitectchannel You are most welcome!

If helpful, I have two LYRIQ charging curve videos on my channel. Thx 4 watching & taking the time to comment

If you are new to EV life, then it is an adjustment. However, most of life is daily grind where fuel is found overnight in the garage, making it more convenient then gas. To answer your question directly, ~30 min. Our friends made the trip in about 90 min less in their ICE car who were on the cruise with us and live in the same city.

Yea mostly getting the EV for the daily grind but if road trips aren’t a huge problem would love to take the EV on road trips. 1.5 hours more isn’t too bad for an almost 9 hour trip.

If you look at the screen in the vid at 3:50 there is a filter icon at the top.

It can go 300 miles, but in an EV it is common to drive between 80% to 10%, so about 250miles or 4 hrs at highway speed. Each stop we spend about 30 minutes at.

we lost about 2% over the seven days. It was in the municipal garage adjacent to the port terminals. We did have a great time. Wife & I were a long time since a solo vacation. Was nice to see the world a bit with her. Thx for the nice comment and watching. Take care.

@thenetworkarchitectchannel9507 I would have known the answer to my questions if I had watched the video until the end. I did watch today until the end, and thanks again for sharing your adventures. I'm looking forward to more content from you.

Bout three weeks, if memory serves. Enjoy!

Thanks. Just today I received the email from Cadillac saying in one to two business days I should get something from EVgo.

No, but I recommend joining the Facebook group Lyriq owners & enthusiasts. If u post the question there, someone will know the answer. Enjoy your car when it comes. We love ours

Thx for watching. W/Autocharge+, there is no app or paying at the charger. It is like a Tesla Supercharger where you just plug in. No app or LCD screen interaction needed. EVgo does not retain the SoC in the app history, but 40 kWhs were delivered in the 33 minutes. We have a 102 kWh battery so that is about 40%. With larger batteries, SoC in a given time is not a good measurement, IMHO. Better the number of kWhs delivered. For instance, on a Silverado, that would be only 20% SoC since it has a battery twice the size of the Lyriq and four times the size of the Leaf or Bolt.

At EVgo & Electrify America the most common reason you will need to wait is 2 out of 4 of the chargers are broken an two are in use. That happens

76 kWh in 60 minutes. We actually had to move off the 350 kW Delta to a 100 kW Delta due to the CCS cord not working, so took longer. The hotel had a nice lobby & restrooms so it went by pretty quickly

DCFC = 190 kW max on the Lyriq. 350 on the Hummer & Silverado

@@thenetworkarchitectchannel That’s disappointing when vehicles like the Ioniq and EV6 can get closer to 250kW. I’m curious what the limiting factor is in this battery pack compared to the Hummer/Silverado

@@DazedSean I assume it is the electronics in the on-board charger.

@@thenetworkarchitectchannel When DC fast charging an EV, there is no on-board charger involved. The DC from the cord goes straight to the battery. All the AC to DC conversion, and voltage and current regulation is done by the charging station. The car does have control of the charger - it tells the charger what current to push, based on the state of charge of the battery, and the temperature of the battery. But the actual charger(s) are in the big electronics filled boxes off to the side of the charging lot. The maximum charging rate the car allows or asks for is set by the engineers that program the car's brain. With a simple software update your car could charge at 350 kW. That might dangerously overheat the wiring in the car, or the battery, or seriously degrade the battery by forcing current into it faster than is best for long life. My guess is that GM is simply being sensibly conservative, and setting a more moderate peak charge rate to minimize wear on the battery. Hyundai is being less conservative, and shooting for the best possible spec for advertising purposes, and skirting closer to the point where the battery is being damaged a little with each rapid charge. It will be 5+ years before we see whether that comes back to bite them.

Since we already had a home charger, we elected the 2yrs free at EVgo and have been enjoying it. Thx for watching & the comment.

Will have to check & get back to you. I didn’t notice as the passenger

Not sure 4 sure, cause we never drive it to zero. Tom M on the State of Charge did & got over three. I think u will love it. Neither my wife nor I had any buyers remorse.

Just wanted to see the EVgo stations is all. Coulda skipped Daytona

@@thenetworkarchitectchannel thank you for the clarification

5, but we could of done it in 4. We didn't need the charge in Jacksonville, but it was free at EVgo for us, so I decided to stop there and top off before leaving Florida.

Good stuff. My vehicle order hasn’t been fulfilled yet and I’m trying to paint expectations, you know. Enjoyed your Lyric and related posts.

Wife held 75. I was not watching the EV stats, but I have a link in the description of Tom M.'s vid where he shows 3.1 with 332 mile 100%-0% range on the same car, if you care to watch.

@@thenetworkarchitectchannel Yes, have seen that video. No one has been able to quite get those results - close though.

@@billjohnson3344 I have driven EVs for a couple of years. Although I did not ever do a 100-0 range test, I can say a 102 kWh battery pack is noticeable in the distance it covers between charging stops. My wife drove it from our home north of Charlotte to Surf City, NC / Top sail beach w/ stops along the way all on a single 100% charge. That was not achievable in the 2019 M3LR we had previously. For my view, I trust Tom M.’s results as accurate. U r welcome to a different opinion.

@@thenetworkarchitectchannel Size of the battery pack is only part of the equation. Comes down to efficiency and the pack size. I also have driven EV's for years, including a LR Model 3 also. Smaller pack, but much more efficient for weight and aero. Agree that even so that Lyriq is a bit better than that, but not as good as Tom's test. Key is what his actual average speed was. On a highway trip if you drive for only 70MPH for a particular stint (zero traffic or other local driving), hard to quite get those numbers - never had Lyriq beat the EPA figure at sustained (and only) highway speeds.

@@billjohnson3344 I respectfully disagree. He drives the same loop on all his range tests, so it is as fair as can be made, IMHO. Unlike Tesla's the Lyriq is not engineered for efficiency. It is engineered for comfort, which is why it was given a larger battery pack. Given the choice, I would ditch efficiency for comfort every day of the week. My wife's hip was hurting driving the Tesla. We moved her to a Lyriq. Prob solved. Thx for the well thought out comment.

My wife makes the vehicle purchasing decisions among us. I think if I could have any, it would be a tricked out ModX 7 seat, so the back two rows could be folded for a Glamping setup. Glad u enjoyed.

If you r a 1st time EV buyer, I would recommend a Tesla. As for our trip, we stopped to charge 5 times which is about triple the amount of time for fuel stops as an ICE car. However, for daily grind we spend zero time at gas stations to fill up for the work week. We get our fuel from a charger in our garage, so I feel it balances out.

@@thenetworkarchitectchannel yes, I will be a first time EV buyer, you recommend Tesla for 1st time EV buyers because of the Tesla charging network or something else? I was just reading that Mercedes Benz has agreed to join the NACS AKA the Tesla plug 🔌. The day can’t come soon enough that the plug for an EV is the equivalent to that of home electrical product because all this fuss about the plug needs to be put the rest so that industry can tackle charging infrastructure & battery range.

@@debtdestroyer several reasons. Unfettered Supercharger access being one. Their EV tech is generations ahead of anybody else too. I know of few Tesla owners who experienced buyer’s remorse. After being a Tesla owner, it is easy to transition to other EV brands. There is a reason the Tesla Model Y is the #1 car by sales volume on the planet currently, unseating Toyota from the top spot.

@@thenetworkarchitectchannel ok thanks again.

Not listed on the sticker, so honestly I am not sure. We just drove it off the lot and started using everything. I do not recall any svc agreements with Google. The one thing we needed to hammer out was the EVgo 2 yrs free charging. That took a few weeks to get sorted out.

It is 6 months free for 2023. Same timeframe for OnStar trial. SuperCruise is 3 years before needing a subscription. Not sure what 2024 included trials are.

yeah, I have limited options on iMovie. I kinda randomly select what is available.

An adjacent car’s door opened and a lady reacted to something that startled her. My wife actually told me I should add a blerb explaining the sound. I guess she was right (again). :-)

I’m thinking a lot but am not sure. Lyriq is a lot of car for the money

I am a Tesla fan boy too. If it were not for Tesla, EVs would still be less then 1% of sales globally. They are dragging by force of will the rest of the industry into electrification in one of our age's most significant paradigm shifts which I support whole heatedly. I am passionate about EVs and Tesla is the undisputed leader. As for my video skills, I agree I produce armature content with respect to lighting, sound, and camera movements. This is just a diversion hobby for me and I do so often with little attention to detail, but I am finding the quality is improving over time as I iterate through vid creation processes. Anyway, thx for watching and the nice comment.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y8lgqKuqsOCcpn0.html

There is a comparison graph at the end of the above vid. I don’t completely agree with all their #s, but the two r not $14k away from each other and the Y lacks many luxury options the Lyriq has.

That would be me. I have since heavily curtailed the use of themed music

Just dropped a new one that has no background music.

I am going to have to agree with you. I am putting the final touches on a new one which is almost completely free of back ground music. I’m still learning. Thx 4 the candid feedback
