We have a availability for OPTIQ. Very excited to start getting these!

 

Got mine!

 

Nice! Can I ask where u are and what dealership?

Just east of Seattle. They had 4 slots and lots of interest.

You mean you got your order in?

Yes, they aren't building them until the 2nd week of October.

That's what I said in my original post.

My dealer had eight allocated for this order cycle.

 

I thought that were only two Levels of Luxury and two levels of Sport. What is included in Luxury Level 3 and pricing?

 

I was under the impression there were only two levels of Luxury and Sport. What is Luxury Level 3 and what is included over Luxury 2 and pricing.

 

There is no luxury 3 on Optiq, it’s on the Lyriq👍

 

You should post the second page of the options, I love the one about delayed delivery. I saw that and joked with the GM doing the order, “I don’t believe I ordered that, let’s get rid of that one.” 😀

 

jg, per your request:

 

Bellevue is a nice city. I was told they had built a Sport configured like my Luxury 2. If your build is like mine they put a few more options than I wanted and called it a Luxury 3. If you like I will keep you posted on the status of mine if you will do the same for me.

 

Sounds like a plan. Thanks.

 

I went in with a spreadsheet made from the online order guide and reported pricing so they would have the exact RPO codes I wanted.

My wife laughed at the color and said, “So they called it Silver Silver? Do they know argent is French for silver?”

So now everything about the car has to be said in a Monty Python ridiculous French accent. 😀

FYI, when we configured the order, the inventory manager showed be a notice from Cadillac stating that the 19.2 kW charging module was a late availability option that would probably delay delivery. We didn't want this option anyway. Hope that's not the case for you.

 

 

Only the 19.2 kW charger is bi-directional?

 

“Bi-directional” is kind of a loaded term. You can buy tens of thousands of dollars worth of GM Energy equipment to tap into your vehicle’s battery (that’s compatible with lots of variations of EV trims, without any special charging package), but to use the Power Bar 3 kW capability (to plug anything you want into your car) you need the extra inverter that comes embedded in the 19.2 kW charging package.

 

I am curious about how many members of this forum have put money down and done a build on this car. I see only two besides mine and ironically one appears to be from the same dealership as mine. That does not seem like an overwhelming response when compared to the Solterra forum that two days after the build date opened had a spreadsheet with over two hundred orders naming, model, dealer and price of build. As my 5th EV I love the car especially the ability for it to power several appliances in my home. I lose power often where I live and my current car powers my home in outages. Looking for an upgrade over that but just wondering what the real interest is out there.

 

Yeah, agreed. I reserved a Mach-E on the day reservations opened and the forums were crazy filled! Similar with the Blazer EV, although not quite as crazy in the forums. I think a lot of it has to do with the marketing (or lack thereof) of the Optiq. Not much hype at all. Both the Mach-E and Blazer had HUGE press events and advertised reservation books. We barely get any action on the forum so far.

 

"Heavy sigh..."
I'm told by my Cadillac dealer here in Canada that we won't be able to order one here until the new year. Good news is you guys that are able to order early can get all the bugs out before us poor saps up here can put in our orders!

 

Based on how long it's taken them to fix or even still not fix bugs on the Lyriq I wouldn't say a couple months would make a big difference 🤣

 

I am waiting to actually sit in / drive one, I'm ready...

 

To help some of you that might not know. If any one out there knows any more about options pricing, stuff like illuminated sills, how about sharing with the group?

Optiq Build Codes & Options Vehicle Order Guide

 

Surprised that although you fellas in the states can order an Optiq through the dealer you can't build one on the Cadillac web site.
Bizarre.

 

 

Got a code 3000 on mine, but production looks like it got pushed back to November, probably because of the upgraded charging module.

9/17/2024: 3000 - Accepted by Production Control
9/18/2024: Target Production Date (TPW 11/4/2024)

 

My build without the upgraded charging module has the same TPW as yours.

 

Hey thanks! I’m excited about this new Caddy as well! I think I’m going to wait, I want to see my
color combos in person first, and maybe, just maybe there could be a “used one” with a couple thousand miles, or not. I bought a used 2023 EQB with lo mi. for $20k off MSRP last year. I know, “I’m dreaming” and am envious you get to experience this work of art sooner.

 

Is there the EvGo or QMerit incentive offered for the Optiq?

 

I don’t think so. It’s already eliminated on MY25 Lyriq. There’s a reason why GM offered that on MY23-24 Lyriq since it’s GM’s first EV. But the initial market adoption is done.

 

I'm jealous. My local dealers tell me they still don't have allocations. They expect they will get their first car on lot in January or February.

 

I’m like you (I think)…”little patience”. This is one I’m going to hold back a few mos. on….there will be
some small issues (?) to work through.🤞

 

I would take it with grain of salt. Looking at the MY25 Chevy Equinox EV which is produced at the same Ramos Arizpe factory and essentially being mostly identical to Optiq, it started Production since Aug 26, 2024 and today you can find most dealers have many of them on lot already. So this is less than a 2-month of waiting.

Optiq entered kicked off its production on Oct 14. So I would expect some larger regional dealer will have them in early December, if not late November. The only thing is that holiday season and winter weather may affect transportation.

I hope your prediction is correct. My dealer did caution, however, that the vehicle might have more than the normal miles on it at time of purchase (our last Cadillac had six) because the early production vehicles will be extensively tested and evaluated prior to shipment. I surmise Cadillac is trying to avoid production issue like the Lyriq had.

 

My order is now production code 3400 ORDER BROADCAST FOR PRODUCTION (LOADED ON ASSEMBLY PLANT COMPUTERS). The TPW remains 11/4/2024. Seems to be on track.
