In this real-world drive through a wet Sydney, Tom from Ludicrous Feed provides a balanced overview of the all-electric Cadillac Lyriq. The video covers the vehicle’s specifications, including its price, battery capacity, and real-world efficiency observed during the journey. Tom discusses the cabin’s insulation from road noise, the performance of its rain-sensing wipers and cruise control system, and the unique haptic feedback from its driver monitoring safety feature. The commentary also explores the Lyriq’s place in the market, its software capabilities compared to rivals, and broader thoughts on why Australia serves as a unique testing ground for new electric vehicles from global manufacturers. The drive concludes with practical observations on navigating Sydney’s extensive tunnel network and the benefits of integrated navigation for EVs | Video by Tom Gan (Tesla Tom) of Ludicrous Feed from Sydney Australia August 2025
