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:
“The heart of man ever finds a constant succession of passions, so that the destroying and pulling down of one proves generally to be nothing else but the production and the setting up of another.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“[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)
“From the war of nature, from famine and death, the most exalted object which we are capable of conceiving, namely, the production of the higher animals, directly follows. There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.”
—Charles Darwin (1809–1882)
