    Yay, Tesla charging … July 31!

    I have charged at a fair number of Tesla sites in a GMC Sierra. The GMC can pull 180kW. 50kW is not great, but it is really nice to add so many locations. The other plus is so many of the Tesla locations are better in terms of nearby services. I ordered Lucid adapter. I’ll try the GMC...

    Yay Hardware upgrade CPU and memory

    While the DE #40 had become very stable over time, the Sapphire with this processor has required maybe 2 resets since October of 23. Wireless CarPlay becomes seamless. After a while you don’t notice the “snappiness”. The UI becomes less notable because it just works.

    Gravity Delivery Discussion

    90% is never acceptable. It would bankrupt any company.

    Tips to Increase mi/kWh??

    I got 0.3 miles/kWh in the Sapphire and I was not disappointed.

    Gravity Delivery Discussion

    A good friend of mine has Gravity #70. He had key issues. Lucid sent out a tech and issue has been resolved. I had to laugh a little as my biggest complaint when I took delivery of #40 DE Air, were key related. 🤣 I personally am very happy with the Sapphire and have no need of an SUV. I...

    I am sad to see the DE go. I bought a Sapphire and very happy with my Lucid experience overall. I'm out of town for a race next week, but if you ever want to stop by the shop and check out the Sapphire, you are welcome to stop in. Thunderbunnyracing.com

    Thanks for bidding. With the new HV battery it really is almost like new. Not perfect of course, but the build quality has proven to be very good.

    20-ish mile range difference between 5 seat and 7 seat Gravity?

    Additional unsprung weight and slightly higher ride height both are impactful. The larger contact patch of course. The tire is multi compound with the center being similar across tires, at least that’s what Michelin says. Would be interesting to know exact percent of each item. I would bet...

    I’ll make you a deal on the DE. 😂

    Are We Asking the Wrong Question About Charging?

    Looking at a recent charge I got 70.7 kWh in 22 minutes 20-80% SOC. That’s an average of 192.8kW. When the charger provides 100% of what the car asks for, it’s pretty good.
