Not completely.
Short term, it will be my new DD and for trips of 400 miles or less (one recharge stop).
We use the Suburban for longer trips, and for load carrying, as well as the occasion where we need to haul more than 4 people a longer distance. All these things we do relatively frequently. The LYRIQ will seat 5 for short trips, and has a decent load capacity but it's no Suburban.
Ultimately, as the Suburban ages out, we likely won't replace it at all and the LYRIQ will take over that role. It also can tow, but we all know how that goes with EVs.
The other factor is we plan to retire as early as 2025, so we would want to reduce the insurance load by not having multiple vehicles that are being used minimally.
