    Have you seen a lot of updates for tuning the UX, performance and features of the car since receiving it? If so, what’s that been like?

    Miraculous Paintless Dent Removal

    Yeah PPF had saved my paint 3 times now; I just got the damaged film replaced and the car is cosmetically 100% again.

    Miraculous Paintless Dent Removal

    Thought I'd share in case anyone else is in need for this: I received a big nasty door ding in the driver's side of the hood of my Air GT in the SeaTac parking garage. (On any other car, it would've been on the left front fender, but with our 'wrap-around' hood, that's where high 'pickup...

    Gravity Orders Discussion

    I had a conversation with our sales rep this week as well, and was told that it would likely not be until summer for early orders by existing Air owners to start getting delivered.

    Open letter to Lucid after 29 months of ownership

    Right there with ya, Bobby. Best car I’ve owned, driving it still makes me smile. Gravity on order to share the love with the wife!

    Gravity Orders Discussion

    After having spent a large chunk of my career working at Valve, this kind of ‘we’ll ship it when it’s done’ situation feels very familiar to me. I’m as impatient as anyone to get our Gravity, but it’ll be really great for Lucid if when they finally do start deliveries, everyone just raves about...

    Interference with Phone GPS and EZ Pass transponder

    I have the wandering GPS on my CarPlay sometimes, but I also experience that sometimes in our Subaru - usually it’s when my iPhone is still in my pocket. Once I pull it out and stick in a cup holder or something, GPS gets back on track. Also, I have my “GoodToGo” sticker (WA’s version of EZ...

    Gravity vs Model X

    We placed our order for a new Gravity to replace my wife’s 2017 Model X. Overall, she’s been happy with the X; she won’t miss the falcon-wing doors, but she will dreadfully miss the feature of closing the driver door when you tap the brake pedal. She was looking for a contact for a member of the...

    Out of Spec 2025 GT long term review

    I was having periodic issues of my GT being non-responsive to the presence of either my fob or mobile key as I approached, and eventually figured out that this would occur whenever I had recently spent time in my studio, which is directly above the garage. In such cases the double click on the...

    Stoplight moment

    Yes, he gets to have an opinion, and I get to spend my money according to my values. Pretty simple. Apparently, I’m not alone...

    Stoplight moment

    @Haggy - to each his own. I really liked my Model S P100D+ ‘Raven’ edition, and now my brother is enjoying it. I’m grateful to Tesla for the world-changing example they set. But I’m sick of Elon’s BS and no longer trust him to make decisions that are in the best interest of his customers or his...

    Stoplight moment

    Sadly, the only sexy thing in the whole encounter was my Air GT Infinite Black +Stealth.
