We should hold a contest to see -- for each variant of Air -- who can get the best efficiency for a certain minimum distance like 100 miles. Naaah! I'm squarely in the club of just enjoying your car, as much as possible within your particular trip's range requirements!

I'm specifically looking for the twelve tracks in the good blog post that Bunny shared last Saturday. It's easy to find those tracks, but no indication you'll get Dolby Atmos. I'll just try building the play list without knowing for sure, see if it gives me Atmos. I hope Tidal just surfaces...

@Bunnylebowski I'm eager to hear those tracks and I know some/all of the ways to find Atmos content in Tidal but man I cannot find any cue these are Atmos just searching and scrolling through them. Is there a playlist I can grab that already knows these tracks?

This isn't perfect for everyone but on Saturday I picked up Montague Paratrooper Highline folding mountain bike. This is not a Brompton city bike, it's a full-on mountain bike designed for and used by the US military, with 27.5" x 2" knobbies. I can remove the front wheel and fold it in <30...

How did you come to acquire a 2023 Pure AWD in April 2024? A friend was interested in this same configuration I have but despaired of being able to get one, when they discontinued offering this last year. Any tips?

I doubt this applies to your plight but offering just in case: I encountered this (intentional designed) behavior in the ignorant-owner real world way: I left my trunk open for more than ~10 minutes, which triggered the "you don't know this but now you must manually heave your trunk lid down to...

How is GM's fastest-imaginable world-class sports coupe still a couple of hundred horsepower behind a four door sedan? Oh wait -- the fuel tank, combustion engine, exhaust, transmission -- all that stuff. Got it. The "smoke and mirrors" motif makes more sense now.

😂 It was looking like my insurer was going to get to part with that much, and then I'd ultimately reimburse them with premium premiums... I'm sure they'll find some other basis for raising mine. Main thing for me is, I'm not a fan of this new local body shop, who's doesn't care what the customer...

Pacific was the shop that quoted me $8k for my rear bumper trim damage. I didn't use them -- instead I replaced the $700 part myself. They couldn't sell me just the part, but the service center did. Thread here. A buddy of mine (zenith red Touring) is living his own Bel-Red hassle: swirly paint...

Same as Tim -- my LexisNexis report contains zero info about my Lucid other than auto policy info. (No mention of my Subaru and VW Alltrack vehicles either -- that may be because Subaru and/or VW don't sell the data to LexisNexis, or because I disconnected the telematics cellular antenna in the...

I like your approach to use the estimate to inform driving style choice. There are a LOT of variables, that often vary along the entire route: - Temperature - Elevation - Precipitation - Road surface - Tire inflation - Cabin temp, defog - Driving style (acceleration, speed) For now, intuition...

Last month our Air incurred a bad deep scuff in the rear bumper. Though 30" wide, the damage was 99% limited to the glossy black trim piece, below the body-colored bumper cover. This trim piece is the same on all Air models, and contains four object/motion sensors (LIDAR?) and two snap-in red...

I usually see 156-174 kW early in the charging process at EA's 350 kW chargers but also their 150 kW chargers go above 150 kW sometimes. 2023 Pure. 26% is the lowest state of charge I've ever been down to. Takes ~30 minutes to get back up above 80-85%, fine by me.

Yes they were all lent out. My friend has had a GT on loan from them too.

(July 2023 Pure AWD, serial #6,249) I hit this issue last Saturday in the mountains here in Washington, at the start of a 4-1/2 hour drive back to Seattle. Cold air coming out the vents. The fogging was only an issue after I was done recharging (sixth perfect EA experience) -- got in with my hot...
