True, but they are having other issues which Lucid isn't having and vice versa.I’m actually surprised we don’t have one yet. Rivian has one and they should be roughly where Lucid is in terms of OS development

Shhh! I need to keep my narrativeTrue, but they are having other issues which Lucid isn't having and vice versa.
Oh yea.."rabble rabble rabble rabble Lucid rabble rabble rabble rabble"Shhh! I need to keep my narrative
We should also ignore the fact that my Taycan had to be towed to the shop on 3/22 and is now inoperable with no end in shape while they wait for a part and it is fully inoperable…(20 days so far)Oh yea.."rabble rabble rabble rabble Lucid rabble rabble rabble rabble"
What happened there?We should also ignore the fact that my Taycan had to be towed to the shop on 3/22 and is now inoperable with no end in shape while they wait for a part and it is fully inoperable…(20 days so far)
High voltage heater apparently. Went to turn on the car a few weeks ago and it wouldn’t move, gave an electronics error.What happened there?

Dealer told us it’s a “restricted” part and only orderable with approvals and confirmation the car is inoperable. Quick googling shows it can be 5-7 weeks to get the part. (I’m assuming it comes right from Germany which is part of the delay)
1. Yes1) is it covered under warranty?
2) if not how much is the repair?
3) do they give you a loaner or something?
Interesting on the batteries. I never had an issue tapping straight into the battery and never had a problem running it down. Not sure how it will work on the Air and if the fuse box in the back will work with the Garmin parking mode. I tried looking for a long cable, but just opted to get a USB extension since after "roughly" measuring I would be able to hide the connection point behind a panel easily.Moving on. @hydbob any thoughts on these dashcam batteries? Looks like they use the fuse box but they should also be able to use the 12v adapter. Looks like up to 72hrs of recoding, but maybe longer on motion activated.
I’m also digging up some ribbon usb cables to run from the rear mirror and the rear windscreen into the trunk. The challenge is getting a super long right-angle micro usb connector.

Gotcha. Let me know how it goes. I’ve got all this kit for the car and now I’m just waiting for it to arriveInteresting on the batteries.

Do you have a picture of what is under that panel? I haven’t been able to get anyone at the studios to lift it off and show me. Also, how easy it it to access the cabin air filters? I know I can get the service vehicle to drive a couple of hours to replace it, but it would be faster to replace it myself.I have discovered there is another fuse box in the hood! Under the “engine cover” - there are two pins to disengage on the left and right and you can lift the cover off the fuse box.
There’s also one in the cabin but it’s a huge PITA to get to.

I haven’t, but been curious. An Arlo wireless camera can run for a long time before needing new batteries, so a wired-with-battery camera could theoretically last a long time if the motion sensing is extremely low power draw.Has anyone experimented with battery-powered dashcams? Eliminating the need for any wires? I wonder how long a battery might last if you record only when motion is detected.

/sighI have a similar Ring camera with a few months worth of battery. I wonder if anyone has put it in their car..
New business venture!/sigh
I’ll go get my soldering gun…
I don’t need more of them!New business venture!
