I am considering putting down a deposit on one shortly. And I thought the Tesla forums were filled with software problems!

Not sure if this is the right forum for this so apologies in advance. I am not asking specifically about charging or range in the Winter, but I am asking about day to day use of a Touring in the winter more generally. I have seen one or 2 posts about handles freezing / not presenting (I have...

Thx. With the phone or with the fob?

Not that it is a direct comparison but I have a 2018 Model 3 LR AWD that I bought new in October of 2018. Definitely an early build. (I have been spending a lot of time on these forums trying to convince myself to jump in and lease a lucid. Going for my 3rd test drive shortly!) In the 7 years I...

Leaving aside the phone issues, if you have the key fob in your pocket, will the doors reliably unlock automatically as you approach the car and then lock automatically as you walk away from the car without having to press the buttons on the key fob? Or are there also issues with unlock and walk...

Thx for all the replies. Very helpful. I am thinking of a short term lease so wrapping it likely not a viable option. A few people have said that while the fake leather may not be an option”nice” as leather it may actually be softer and the 20 way power adjustments could “make up for it”. I have...

Thx. Although really it is “massage” over “real leather”;? Fathom blue over cosmos silver metallic ?

Thx for the replies. The choice is for a Silver Metallic with leather and 14 way ventilated (no massage) and adjustable ambient lighting OR a Fathom Blue with PureLux (fake Leather) and 20 way ventilated WITH massage but only white non adjustable ambient lighting (for $22 more per month)

I have gone through lots of posts here comparing 20 way PurLuxe Leather Alternative to "real leather". I am considering a lease of a Touring and there are 2 cars which are within $22 / month of each other. Cosmos Silver Metallic with the real leather and 14 way ventilated seats (which also comes...

Most automakers have an option to add some form of excess wear and tear coverage to the lease payments. From what I have seen the payments would about $25 - $30 / month over the cost of the lease and would cover about Cdn$7,500 worth of “repairs”. I asked whether Lucid has this option and I was...

Great report. I have not yet made the jump from my Model 3 to the Lucid but I am very familiar with ABRP from my Model 3 road trips. In addition to ABRP, if you input your final destination on the car navigation, does it automatically calculate your suggested charging stops / locations and how...

This is all great info. In order to “qualify” for this great lease deal (and an added incentive if you own a Tesla) you can’t really offer the car to spec but you have to pick from what is on site or incoming. I not looking at the Grand touring because that is just too pricey. So here is my...

Thx - I test drove a new Model Y (Juniper). Obviously a higher seating position than my 3 and everything felt comfortable and very familiar. It is a small think but ventilated seats are a must have! The Y was miles ahead of my old 3 in terms of NVH, it just felt like a grown up more upscale...

Thx for the replies. This is a great forum. Feels very much like the TeslaMotorsClub forum when I first got started back in 2018. (Although with all due respect, I would prefer not to call or refer to the Model 3 or any Tesla, as a Swasticar. I don't mean to preach but using that term...

I currently have a 2018 Tesla Model 3. I have had it since the beginning and while I still love the car because it is an early model it is a little on the loud / not so smooth side. But the size is perfect. I have been looking at an Air Touring and took one for a short test drive. Loved many...
