General Motors is recalling 21,469 electric SUVs in the U.S. due to concerns about the unexpected activation of the anti-lock brake system, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced on Tuesday.

The recall affects GM's 2023-2024 Cadillac Lyriq all-wheel drive models, rear-wheel drive models remain unaffected. According to NHTSA documents, in rare circumstances, during certain braking events on dry surfaces at speeds below 25 mph, the vehicle may exhibit overly sensitive anti-lock braking system (ABS) control. In these conditions, if ABS falsely activates and a specific sequence of wheel movements occurs, the vehicle’s ABS system will continue to release the braking pressure in the vehicle’s service brake system, reducing stopping power which could result in a crash.

The issue, which will be addressed through an over-the-air software update, follows a preliminary evaluation by the NHTSA in April into more than 3,000 Cadillac Lyriq vehicles over claims related to a loss of brake assist. Anti-lock brake systems are crucial for preventing wheels from locking during braking, thereby reducing the risk of accidents.

If it wasn't for horrible reliability issues, I would consider owning or leasing one.

Carson D I saw a man driving a black Eos with the top down yesterday. I recall thinking that I don't want to be the sort of person who judges a man for driving a car that might be fun while seeming overtly feminine, but my initial reaction was thinking that my neighbor who won an Eos in a golf tournament only to let it rot in his garage for over a decade before selling it to a woman who'd just wrecked one did the right thing.
Slavuta Model 3 cost $39K. The battery in is is about $13K. If you deduct cost of battery, the car costs $26K, which is normal for a car with the engine and transmission and all other modules. Its the fuel container here that makes it expensive. For model 3 - no. For Models S,X - may be. Can model 3 internals be used in a bigger car? Probably. What's stopping Tesla? Honda is already doing it. All their cars use same engine and probably transmission too - 1.5L T. Smart move. Buy Accord, pay thousands more than Civic and get same thing but the size.
