Typical Musk beta testing on the public. Other companies do it too, but Tesla's the biggest offender.

I've heard a couple YouTube presenters talk about A/B testing their video thumbnails, and all have said, if they don't have at least a somewhat click-bait'y video title? Their views drop significantly.......sad state but that's the game. Ugh.

I recently went through this and it took something crazy like 6 MONTHS from start to finish, to replace the windshield on my standard, Al roof Air. Apparently there was nasty chip down low on the windshield in the black area, so I never saw it. It quickly migrated into a long vertical crack in a...

I have, and also have not. I've not seen as many desperate/juicy promotions from BMW. I also kinda hate their styling. I do like the old iX, and while BMW's reliability has gone significantly up in the past years, as that pre-owned iX stock goes up in age, so does the usual BMW maintenance...

They would do mobile service on out of warranty cars, but mobile service can't do everything.

Ummmm, why is anyone here surprised an R2 would be less efficient and get less range than what we're accustomed to? You're literally comparing a tall brick in the wind to a sleek jellybean. I think the R2's range is decently competitive to similar boxy SUVs.

Well this was a depressing thread to read. I'm getting major Stellantis vibes from these experiences. I should know, I'm living on the Stellantis struggle bus also. There's some common threads I've been experiencing at the Chicago service center the past 14+ months. When I first got my 23AP...

I noticed this also, looking at models on the website last night. The interior headliners look to be a similar light grey material you'd find in a typical Camry now. I'm not surprised, they are probably penny pinching everywhere, and they literally have Munro people in there now, value...

No, but only because we don't know any other Lucid owners in person. But I'm still following all the lease turn-back drama here and on Reddit and various media online. It seems to still be going on. But I'll be monitoring. IF they fix things, what will probably happen is news of sleazy...

I just feel so so bad for all the amazing engineers and managers, and Peter too. They poured heart and sweat into making an amazing product, with amazing technology, and that reputation is all being destroyed by a bunch of finance people and some lowbrow bank. Sad.

Umm, until people are turning in leases and NOT getting egregious bills for 10-20,000 dollars, and having to re-submit for review, then NO, nothing has been done about it outside their own internal disucssions. It's not resolved until the lease turn-back processes are smooth, and fair.

This is absolutely terrifying. We take excellent care of our cars, but there are minor signs of wear and tear inside and out. This whole ordeal has put a huge damper on ownership (leasing) to the fact that..... I'm worried to turn the car in, and I'm worried to lease any future products from...

While valid points, I have 19" wheels and this blowout was from some kind of small debris right in the middle of the tread. I think the seal kit might've let me at least limp home. But yeah, on all my other cars, the punctures have been on the shoulder of course. And the weirdest one of all...

Well I definitely have some lessons learned from the experience. For one, as long as I'm in the Chicago area, I should have the car towed home, so the mobile service van can come to me. That should help cut down the turnaround time. The van will come to homes only, and my limited experience...

IDK about that.....maybe my luck had just taken a turn for the worse.....or maybe there's more crap on the roads. But I've had probably 3 or 4 flats between all my cars, with one on the Lucid just this weekend, since 2020. Whereas before that, I think I had 1 flat since college! The rest were...
