Morning all,
For starters (do not shoot me) I own a Model 3 and with the let down that is the CyberTruck (please do not hate me) I find myself looking for a more "comfortable" ride and that has lead me to Lucid. I had a few questions if you would humour me (I have done my research to the maximum extent possible but some questions remain and seeing as individuals here have Lucid it made sense to ask):
-Charging, I have currently have my level 2 charger installed in my garage, is there a NACS->J1772 adapter, primarily would like to stick with Tesla's charging network?
-Is there a plan to retrofit the J1772 ports on existing cars to NACS or will this be a hard switch over to NACS with a cut off date for production?
-How frequent (best guess) are updates to the User Interface (UI) on the Lucid cars? I have watched quite a few videos and like it for the most part, but as we all know continued software support is as important as mx minders
-Preconditioning / Heating, I observed somewhere (for the life of me I cannot recall) that preconditioning / heating the car shuts off after 30 minutes, fact or fiction?
- What are your biggest complaints using Lucid as a daily driver?
-How is mx support in NOVA (Northern Virginia, I know there is a service center at Tysons Corner), for example when I was working in Key West and my 12v died, Tesla sent a tech from Miami (4 hours there / 4 hours back) to swap out the 12v?
-The 500 mile range is extremely attractive to me, are there any downsides to this particular model?
-I have looked at the financials for this company and find them a bit concerning, mainly the fact that they seem to be struggling to find their place in the market (hint low cost EV that is not luxury based, but I digress), does anyone else share this concern referencing long term support for their car?
These questions are being asked in good faith and I am not trying to say one company is better than the other or anything of that sort, just trying to find a more comfortable ride with decent range.
