Jason is on this channel?
I generally like his content and I'm sad his experience was so terrible, but it doesn't seem like him to continue piling on hate.
Did I miss something?
I'm referring to Jason Fenske, who is the owner of the Engineering Explained channel on YouTube, who @gaskiller has been on a tirade about since he released a few videos. He's not on the forum, to my knowledge, but gaskiller is, and I am asking that we stop discussing his youtube channel ad nauseum, whether directly (in the past) or indirectly (on this post). :)

Yes. I have watched Jason Fenske from the very beginning.
The way the topic read, it sounded like he was on here.
It was truly unfortunate what happened with his Air.
 
I too am very happy with my GGT, especially because I like to DRIVE cars and push them to their limits once and a while and so I'm not a big user of ADAS, love Regn on High, glad I don't have the HUD. (And wow....with all the drama on these forums about those things I'm so glad they aren't what this car is about for me!)
 
So on a shorter road trip within Texas. Took the model x instead, mainly cause I didn't want to kill my gravity warranty within 1.5 years (already at 20k in under a year). Not going to lie, the full self driving is absolutely amazing on the road trip, through some thunderstorms, rush hour traffic, parking lots, etc, never really had any concerns about the FSD.

On the flip side, man the model x charges soo slow and loses range quick. After I switched to the model x from a 2017 model s, I was super happy with how fast it charged comparatively. But now comparing to the lucid, it's miserable charging in the x, even if it's free. Worst part is how much vampire drain there is with this thing . Feel like the lucid has almost no vampire drain. Because of the drain, the charging experience once in the destination is also miserable. Feel like I'm always looking for a charger because this thing is just losing charge so quickly. On our recent road trip with the lucid, had the opposite experience where I felt overconfident that I rarely needed to charge outside of the normal stops. On top of the that, the normal stops were all super fast because of the charging speeds. Overall the gravity is just a road trip beast. Will definitely take the gravity on the next trip unless I know my destination hotel/residence will have an actual charger.

I know, right? The first few times I left my Gravity at airport parking I did my typical of charging as much as possible before driving down in anticipation of 4-6% loss per day (typical for my 2023 Model X) and each time I came back to a car that had almost the same charge as when I left it. It is rock solid compared to the X. To be fair, I am almost 100% sure the X power draw is due to sentry mode. When it turns off at 19% the phantom drain falls to 0.5-1% per day.
 
Well I don't know if Halo does much but if it's all sentry, halo seems more efficient assuming it's working. My guess is the cabin overheat also plays a big role, but I prefer to leave it on in Texas because on my previous model s had screen issues which I think were related to the heat. Hope the lucid doesn't have those issues, but it's handled the summer pretty well so far.
