Production
In October 2012, GM announced that the ELR will be built at the Detroit Hamtramck Assembly Plant, together with the Chevrolet Volt, Opel Ampera, and Holden Volt, where the family of extended-range electric vehicles are exported to 21 countries. The addition of the ELR to the plant represents an additional US$35 million investment, bringing the total product investment to US$561 million since December 2009. Production is scheduled to begin by late 2013, with sales starting in early 2014 in North America and expand to global markets including China and Europe.
General Motors rolled the first 2014 Cadillac ELRs off the production line in late May 2013. These vehicles are pre-production units destined for testing purposes before production for retail customers start by the end of 2013.

Famous quotes containing the word production:
“[T]he asphaltum contains an exactly requisite amount of sulphides for production of rubber tires. This brown material also contains “ichthyol,” a medicinal preparation used externally, in Webster’s clarifying phrase, “as an alterant and discutient.””
—State of Utah, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“... if the production of any commodity necessitates the sacrifice of human life, society should do without that commodity, but it can not do without that life.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
“The problem of culture is seldom grasped correctly. The goal of a culture is not the greatest possible happiness of a people, nor is it the unhindered development of all their talents; instead, culture shows itself in the correct proportion of these developments. Its aim points beyond earthly happiness: the production of great works is the aim of culture.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
