Since May 2022, Cadillac Lyriq production has hit a new record high every month. Back in October 2022, production of the all-electric luxury crossover came in at 2,000 units, double that of September 2022. Now, GM Authority has learned that production has hit a new record once again.
During November 2022, GM produced 2,477 examples of the 2023 Cadillac Lyriq at the GM Spring Hill plant in Tennessee. This means that November 2022 production represents 40 percent of all Cadillac Lyriq production since it commenced in March 2022. As of November 30th, GM has produced 6,192 units of the Lyriq.

Notably, the table above does not include production numbers for the BrightDrop Zevo 600, which also utilizes GM Ultium batteries.
Production of the 2023 Cadillac Lyriq has been low due to the limited amount of Ultium batteries available. However, thanks to the launch of the first Ultium Cells plant in Ohio, battery pack supply has been increasing. As a result, Cadillac Lyriq production has been steadily rising. In addition, GM’s recent $2.5 billion loan from the U.S. Department of Energy will be used to facilitate the construction of three more Ultium Cells plants, which will further increase output.
As a reminder, the 2023 Cadillac Lyriq is powered by the GM Ultium batteries and GM Ultium Drive motors. Under the skin, the all-electric crossover rides on the GM BEV3 platform.

Please post news about real time reactions of present Lyriq owners.
Why did GM produce so little? It is not enough to deliver to customers. It will be released in the global market from 2023, so can you produce a small amount like this and ship it properly? GM must solve the problem of production.
Read the article? Answered your questions…
Brilliant I certainly agree with you in that this release has not been handled intelligently. I think it is dirty pool that they advertised a low price, then raised It $3,000 , and then will lower it again next year. But to the extent that people accept this, it is what it is.
GM is approaching 1 million reservations for its 5 evs (Silverado, Hummer Lyriq, Blazer and Equinox.). At this production rate it is going to take 10 years to fulfill them (and that is with no new reservations in the next 10 years). Come on GM!!
Where did you get this information from? What is the percentage of Lyrqiq’s out of the Million?
Good thing that this is just the very beginning of the production ramp. EV’s need batteries. And GM is building a whole lot of battery production capacity right now.
Their Warren, OH Ultium facility just started production and this is why we are just starting to see Hummer EV and Lyriq numbers increase. Warren, OH should be at full capacity later in 2023. Also later in 2023 Ultium Spring Hill will be producing battery cells (at even a higher capacity than Warren).
So your comment “At this production rate” is odd. Because this will not be the production rate of tomorrow let a lone of next month or of next year.
I’m not sure why this is so hard for many here to comprehend.
Oh we do comprehend that production will ramp up but so will demand and new people on waiting lists. To meet demand and not make people wait 2 years to get a car they will need to produce 100 to 150 thousand cars per month.
You also need to take into account the fact that GM has put all theirs eggs in a single basket by sourcing all its batteries from one supplier, LG Chem (when Tesla has 3 suppliers so if something goes wrong they have a way out). LG Chem had more battery recalls that all other battery manufacturer put together, so when GM experiences another battery disaster like with the Bolt, and trust me it will happen, everything will be halted again. GM needs a miracle or to get a second battery supplier.
I really hope I am wrong since I have 2 reservations with GM

6200 Lyriqs produced through November and maybe another 2500 in December. Total sales during 2022, according to GM, have been 122. Where and why are the hiding them?
