Yea, I saw that as well. I'd say that almost all of the assembly process is the same except for Engine/motor and battery installation. Cadillac/GM probably isn't going to dedicate a production line just quite yet until throughput increases. They may actually be production constrained in offline processes such as battery, motor or other EV specific parts sub-assemblies.
My wife and I were discussing it, we it's possible think they have separate lines running in the plant, and only merge the EV line and the ICE line near the end.
Main reason I hadn't cancelled earlier was I was curious if my order was dropped or cancelled by the dealer, since I had zero communication to or from them (I doubt they knew anything). I thought maybe I had missed an email or something and it was cancelled. But I also haven't seen any Lyriqs on the road, and only one person I work with has seen one, once. After a certain point, it became humorous. But no, GM was just slow. But if all the Debut Editions were built in 2022 like they said they were expecting, that would mean its just been sitting in a lot for 6-7 months until GM fixed whatever they needed to fix (hardware or software or service training). Reading posts in forums about Lyriq owner experiences were full of red flags also, hopefully GM get those figured out. I am sure those posts were one of the many reasons GM wasn't delivering (product not ready for full rollout).
