Cadillac has been slow to deliver the 2023 Lyriq. But this is expected because the normal month to begin deliveries is September. And I am in no hurry to order or buy one. I can wait for the 2024 model year or order for the 2025 model year, after the first year “bugs” have been engineered out. As for China, they are selling Cadillacs faster than hamburgers because there are more Chinese who have the income to buy them, their government gives more EV incentives, and they need to cut gasoline consumption. So Cadillac buyers are more interested and motivated in China.

Unless you can convince more people to buy local made cars there is no valid reason to criticize Cadillac for selling Lyriqs sooner in China.

The “User Manual” may be found online at the Cadillac owner web site after formal production begins. I doubt that the “First Edition” production, which started this week, will have the manual available now.

As for your other questions, visit or call your local Cadillac dealer for the answers. I will not put a deposit until I see and sit in a real model, so my purchase will be next year in 2023 as I stated above in my first post. I am not in any hurry to buy it.

Most present vehicles from various manufacturers already display the CD cover when playing a track from that CD album. My present 2014 Ford Fusion Hybrid does that on its infotainment display when playing my MPEG3 collection (I have the Sirius system but I am not subscribed to it). I didn’t expect to see that when I bought it, though. It was a pleasant surprise! BTW, my Fusion Hybrid display can also play videos through the input jacks in the center console (it also has a 120 VAC outlet). I expect the Lyriq to have an 120 VAC outlet inside, too.

The common GM practice is to open ordering as soon as production begins. The expected date would be in September 2021 or later.
