What are the best home charging accessories for a Cadillac LYRIQ?

zmyqziejtj — Mon, 04 May 2026 12:35:38 +0000

So I finally picked up my 2024 Sport 3 and I thought my old NEMA 14-50 setup from my Bolt would be totally fine but its just not cutting it for the Lyriq. My logic was that a 40 amp charger would be plenty but with that massive 102kWh battery it feels like it takes ages to top off after my daily commute from Naperville into the city. Plus the charging port location is so weird—it's way up front on the drivers side which is making my current cable a huge trip hazard across the garage floor.

I definitely need some kind of overhead cable management or maybe a super flexible 25ft cord that wont get stiff when it hits zero degrees here in Chicago. I was looking at the Ultium Powerup station but it's pricey and I keep hearing mixed things about the app functionality. Is it worth getting a hardwired Grizzl-E instead for the cold weather durability? I need to get this sorted by next Friday before my family arrives for the holidays and we start doing longer day trips. My budget is roughly $900 for the hardware but I'm stuck on whether I actually need the full 19.2 kW speeds or if that's just overkill for daily use. What are you guys using to keep the cable tidy and the charging speeds actually decent?

do i need to buy a special box for my garage or does it come with everything? i keep seeing people talk about adapters for certain stations and different cables and i have no idea where to start. what are the absolute must-have charging accessories i need so i dont get stranded?...

Which exterior upgrades are essential for the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing?

I just picked up my Blackwing last week here in Chicago and honestly im kind of stressed out. I spent basically my whole savings on this thing and now I realized it looks way more boring than the ones I see online. Like it just looks like a regular sedan? I have maybe 3 thousand bucks left to spend but I have no clue what to actually buy first. I see people talking about aero kits and splitters but I dont even know what those are or if they actually help with anything. Is it just for looks or what. I really dont want to mess up the car or waste money. What are the actually essential exterior upgrades I need to get so it doesnt look so plain?

What are the best interior floor mats for a Cadillac Escalade ESV?

So I just picked up my new ESV and honestly I am panicking a little bit because the weather here in Grand Rapids just took a turn for the worst and I’ve got nothing but the factory carpet mats in there right now. I’ve been driving Escalades since the 2010 model year so I’m not a total newbie to this but the floor layout in the new 2024s is so much more intricate than the old GMT900 or even the K2XX stuff with the sliding tracks and the way the console moves it just feels like there are a million more ways for salt and slush to get into the crevices.

My logic was to just go with the standard WeatherTech HP liners because they have always worked for me in the past but when I looked at the photos for the ESV specifically it looks like the third row coverage is kind of a joke? Like there is this huge gap near the seat rails where my kids are definitely going to drop a melted milkshake or something. I was thinking about TuxMat because everyone says the coverage is better but I’m worried they look a bit too quilted and might be a pain to clean once the salt dries into the creases. Plus I heard they can be kind of slippery when your boots are wet and with a three year old climbing in and out that sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.

I need something that handles the Michigan winter but doesnt look like I put industrial plastic in a $110k truck. Budget isnt really the bottleneck here I would spend 500 or 600 bucks if it actually protected every inch of that carpet. I’ve got a family trip up to the cabin on Friday so I need to get these ordered like tonight to have any hope of them showing up. Has anyone tried the 3D MAXpider ones in the long wheelbase version? Or should I just suck it up and get the GM accessory ones even though the rear coverage looks mid at best. Just trying to figure out if there is a brand I am missing that actually accounts for the ESV length properly without leaving the hump between the captains chairs totally exposed...

Recommend the best all-weather floor mats for a Cadillac LYRIQ.

So I finally took delivery of my Lyriq and man that interior is way too nice to ruin. Im in the Pacific Northwest so the mud and rain are basically my life right now and I need mats like yesterday. I checked out the official Cadillac accessory ones but they look kinda thin in the pictures and I read a forum post saying they dont cover enough of the sides or the dead pedal area. TuxMat keeps popping up in my ads and they look great but I heard they can be a pain to install with all those clips. Plus they are like $200ish which is my hard limit. Has anyone tried those specifically in the Lyriq yet or should I just go with the basic WeatherTechs?

Which charging accessories are recommended for the Cadillac LYRIQ electric SUV?

onosotfrfm — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 13:55:56 +0000

Torn between the ChargePoint Home Flex and the Grizzl-E Classic for my new Lyriq arriving next month. I live in Denver so my garage gets super cold.

Budget: under $700

Setup: NEMA 14-50

ChargePoint looks sleek but the Grizzl-E seems more heavy duty for winter. Which one handles the Lyriq's software better?

Must-have performance accessories for a Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing?

pnqnvjrojr — Sun, 19 Apr 2026 21:55:58 +0000

What are the absolute essential performance accessories I need to pick up for my CT5-V Blackwing before I take it to the track? Man I am so incredibly hyped because I finally picked up my 2024 Blackwing yesterday—went with the 6-speed manual because obviously—and I already have a track day booked at Sebring for next month. I have about $3,500 set aside for immediate quality of life or performance bits but I dont want to waste money on stuff that doesnt actually do anything. I was looking at the Tapout Tuning intake because everyone says it sounds amazing but then I saw a couple threads on a different site saying the factory airbox is actually really well optimized and I might just be losing heat soak protection just for a cool noise which kinda worries me since its so hot here in Florida. Also saw people mentioning the Titanium brake shims to help with the heat on the track but then someone else said just swap the fluid to Castrol SRF and call it a day. Since this is my daily too I dont want to go too crazy and ruin the ride quality.

brake fluid (is SRF the go-to?)

intake (is it actually worth the gains?)

tow hooks (which brand actually fits without cutting?)

rock guards (to save the paint from the sticky tires)

I just want to make sure I am not missing anything stupid that will ruin my first weekend out with the car. What did you guys wish you bought on day one?

What are the best interior protection accessories for a new Cadillac Escalade?

jxpivuqefu — Fri, 17 Apr 2026 02:55:47 +0000

Finally got the 2024 Escalade in the driveway and man it is a beast. I've had Denalis for years so I thought I knew the drill but this interior feels way more delicate. My logic was just to grab some WeatherTechs and call it a day but then I saw how much piano black is near the center console and that curved OLED screen is just huge. I am in Chicago so the salt is gonna be a nightmare once winter hits and I really need to figure out how to protect the seat backs from the kids. So I was thinking maybe TuxMat for the floors since they cover more carpet? Does anyone do PPF on the interior trim or is that overkill? I have about $1500 set aside to get this sorted by next weekend before our road trip. Looking for suggestions on what actually fits the 2024 layout perfectly...

What are the must-have interior protection accessories for a Cadillac Escalade?

Just took delivery of my 24 Escalade and Im honestly terrified of the kids destroying the light leather interior. I need mats like yesterday. My logic was to go with TuxMat because they look premium, but then I saw the WeatherTech HP ones and they seem way more rugged for the slush we get here in Denver. Also considering Cadillac liners for the fitment. Budget is around $550 and I need them before our road trip. Im torn between:

TuxMat for the coverage

WeatherTech for the durability

OEM for the logo

Leaning toward TuxMat but will they look cheap after a month? Im just so stressed about that first big spill...

Which charging and storage accessories are essential for Cadillac LYRIQ?

zxyntgewwg — Sun, 12 Apr 2026 04:55:50 +0000

So I finally pulled the trigger on a 2024 LYRIQ and I am picking it up this Friday but honestly I am panicking a little bit because I have zero charging setup at home yet and my garage is a mess. I need to get a level 2 charger installed like yesterday. I am torn between the Emporia charger because the price is honestly unbeatable or the ChargePoint Home Flex which seems more rugged. I live in a part of Michigan where it gets stupid cold in the winter so I am worried about the cable getting too stiff to move but the Emporia is almost 200 dollars cheaper and I am already stretched thin after that down payment. Then there is the whole interior storage situation because that open space under the console is just a giant black hole waiting to eat my phone and keys. I am looking at those 3D printed organizer bins on Amazon versus the official Cadillac ones from the dealer. The dealer ones are like double the price for what looks like the same plastic tray but maybe the fit is better? I really need to get this stuff ordered tonight so it arrives by the weekend when I actually have the car in the driveway. Should I just splurge on the ChargePoint and the official bins or is the budget stuff actually gonna hold up?
