    Review of sapphire by MKB

    Sorry got side tracked and posted without finishing. Indication was the system would be using a LF radio like most other manufacturers. LF will allow for a more precise location of the fob. Conceptually will have functionality like current system. Unfortunately this is a hardware change and will...

    Sapphire wheels & fitment

    I got a request for the weight of Sapphire rims. Here is a front and rear with tire for those interested.

    Front 21" Tire Shortage

    It’s not about size. The Michelin is XL load rated and the Pirelli is an HL.

    Front 21" Tire Shortage

    Yes on size, but not listed in their fitment guide for the car.

    Front 21" Tire Shortage

    No. Rim was fine. Discount tire only lists the Pirelli as approved for the car. They will not mount a tire that is not in their fitment guide for the vehicle.

    Front 21" Tire Shortage

    I'm running the Michelin 21s and on a recent road trip a day after hitting a pot hole the tire developed a leak right where the bead meets the side wall. I was able to pull off and get to a gas station. Tire was of course unrepairable. Near St Louis. Called Lucid and they sent a tow...

    And...another Sapphire, mine is #65.

    I’m at 4328 miles. Car has been perfect, It is extremely capable driving around in smooth mode and with the push of a button it goes to another level. Only difference from the DE as a daily is a little more tire noise. The Michelins have been good so far. I have driven in temps in the mid...

    19" and 20" wheel measurements

    I have not yet. I was told the 265s will fit up front, but the sapphire has modifications for the 295s. Both cars will be back at the shop later this week. I’ll see if we can find time next week.

    Battery Alert Call from Lucid Service

    I’m still waiting on the trade in program for the Sapphire. 😂 Have switched from trade in on Sapphire to waiting for an awesome Air DE trade in program for a Gravity DE.

    Lucid Air or BMW i5

    I’m a huge BMW fan. Currently the Lucid is a better EV. Not close IMO. Better design, better performance, better looking. I’m looking forward to

    Impressions of my first long road trip

    If you read previous posts we were discussing the long range Rivian battery with 142kWh

    Impressions of my first long road trip

    Real world arriving at ~6pm at 20% in a DE and needing 100% to have some buffer to make it to next stop. Hotel charger was 7kW and took 14 hours, left at 8am. In the Rivian it would have been until 11am. Full size pickups with 200kW hour battery going 20%-100% with 7kW would take 24 hours...
