Interesting. I agree with you on the resetting of the efficiency clock. I would add the caveat that as long as the car doesn't sit fully charged (to your set %) and plugged in for too long. I find the car is more efficient and has less vampire drain when not plugged in and sitting idle than...

Are we sure about the cup holder being a dead zone? If I don't have pockets or my kids grab the fob to get to the car first, that is where the key sits. It has never not worked for me there.

Just to add my $.02, I am not that slow on accelerating (though I don't race), it is the careful slowing down that gives me the most benefit. Even with spirited driving, the worst I've ever gotten is 3.5 in 100 temps with the AC blasting and the radio on. I drive to and from my kids' school...

Remember when many of us (myself included) complained how the signal was too loud? It has gone the other way now and you can barely hear it. Personally, I am happy with that change. And the seatbelt warning is quieter and much less annoying than it used to be, so perhaps we just don't see it as...

@sealthy We did our first group drive from there. I'm not sure how the roads are these days, but it would be a great drive to do again. I love driving down 84 from there. Such a fun road.

Even though he rejected the first two towing companies they wanted to contact?

I've been wondering how the roads are in the Santa Cruz mountains, so we could do a drive there again. In what part of the Bay Area are you, @vin7?

Is this the "any attention is good attention" mindset? Does it not matter to you that you pulled a dangerous stunt with people in your car? Instead you are pretending you had no idea that it would be so and trying to blame the car?

I find it odd I've only ever seen one "in the wild". Grey seems the color of choice around here. There are 3 greys within a mile of me.

I haven't read all previous answers, so this may be repetitive, but I have found that I get asked for the pin often right in front of a school, so there is some sort of interference. It happens to me often during dropoff since I usually am right in front of the main office. It does happen...

Lol, I simply pay attention so I don't waste energy. That is the bulk of it.

I've had a similar experience, though not as much variety in my EVs. My lifetime is 4.0 driving how I like for almost 28k miles. I am not a speed demon, but I am not a slow driver either. There are so many factors that affect range. I regularly get 5.4, and can get closer to 6 when driving my...

I keep mine in the console and never have had an issue, though I don't use it often.

This explains why my husband always volunteers to sit in back so my daughter can claim the front.

While it takes a couple weeks to learn, it is really easy to coast in the Lucid - I do it all the time - and one pedal driving gives you so much control. I was driving my husband's iX the other day, which has auto regen, and while it allows you to coast easily on highways, I found it was...

i have yet to run the battery down in one trip and it is not something I pay attention to. I charge mainly at home. Highest efficiency on over 100 miles was 5.1. It's funny, since I bought the car to be able to drive to San Diego in one go, but have yet to make the drive as we've been flying...

I've stopped trying to drive for maximum range, so my numbers have gone down a bit - my overall average at around 21,000 miles is 4.0, but I noticed going down to Carmel the other day that I only used 12% of battery to go about 72 miles and thought that was pretty good.

Is it still doing this or was it just the once? Sometimes, if one is being impatient and happens to press the fob twice just as the car recognizes it, the handles will kind of flutter for a second and then close.

I think I know what you mean. I have a GT and while at first a full charge would show 516, after my first month of driving it was only showing 496 on a full charge. When I played with getting the best range it showed 532.

I always have the fob in my pocket when in use. It never falls out of even small dress pockets. At home, it goes with all the keys. The only times I've "lost" it are when the kids grab it first and then leave it some random place in the car and I need to look around for it.
