Electric car for 600,000 DKK has been in the workshop for 9 months

For 9 months, Cadillac Lyriq owner Levan Azrumelashvili has been waiting for parts for his car after a traffic accident. During that time, the car has been standing still.

Levan Azrumelashvili runs a limousine service, but has not been able to drive his electric Cadillac Lyriq for the past nine months.

The car brand apologizes by saying that it cannot deliver the parts. They are, it is said, not in stock. Yet Cadillac continues to build new cars. And Azrumelashvili finds that a bit strange.

He tells NJ.com .

– Right now my business is in ruins. I haven't been able to drive my car for nine months.

– And GM tells me that Cadillac can't get the parts for the car.

At the same time, Azrumelashvili continues to pay off his car loan, just as he pays to have the car insured.

– Conversely, they (Cadillac, ed.) continue to build cars with parts that my car clearly needs.

Azrumelashvili pays $1,437 every month on his car loan alone. He also pays $1,000, equivalent to 7,200 kroner, in insurance per month.

This is not the first time that an electric car has been 'down' for long periods due to missing parts. Boosted has previously reported on how a Volkswagen ID.4 has been in a workshop for seven months without anything happening.

Parts are reportedly missing here too, even though Volkswagen builds new ID.4 models every single day, year-round.

Back at General Motors, the big moves are also not to be missed. Many Danish media outlets – including Boosted – have previously written about how the brand is planning to make a European comeback with Cadillac.

Now, however, there are many indications that the whistle has taken on a completely different sound. Last year, the group closed its so-called flagship store in the Norwegian capital Oslo without any major explanation.

And as the brand, Cadillac is only for sale in a few places in Europe. Among them are Germany, Switzerland and Sweden. So, a big, chrome-plated comeback has not happened yet.
