I suspect your HOA's source of information is YouTube FUD or Newsmax. The opposite is true, most places are now requiring that new residential construction be EV-charger ready (with at least the wiring in place if the panel is not in the garage). If their source of information was reliable, it...

On ICE cars, the AC button would just turn the AC compressor on or off (the belt driven thing on the engine that sucks engine power and reduces efficiency). It has nothing to do with heating the car or the blower motor. On an EV, it might or might not improve efficiency, as I believe many EV's...

Yes, I was initially leaning toward Zenith Red. Then I visited the Lucid showroom in NYC where they had a ZR and FB side by side. I tend to like *colors* and avoid black/white/grey/silver. I narrowed it down to ZR and FB, but finally landed on FB. I like the more moderate contrast between...

Yes, I used a referral code.

Well, I finally bit the bullet today and placed an order. A Fathom Blue GT with platinum glass canopy. I'm super excited!

According to the report you posted, It looks like a lot more was replaced/repaired than just a fuse. Also, if a fuse blows, it means something is very wrong. Fuses are VERY RARELY faulty. A fuse blowing means there is some other problem, and the fuse blew to protect the car and wiring from...

I'm not quite sure why you would want to install an outlet to plug the Lucid Wall Charger into. What would this gain you? If you do not currently have wiring already installed to an EV charger or NEMA 14-50 outlet, I don't see that this would save money or provide any benefit (unless you want...

I haven't ordered my Lucid Air yet (waiting on orders to open up for 2024 GT's). Two things: 1. Tesla Superchargers may be Version 1, 2, 3 or 4. Staring with Version 3, many superchargers have the "magic dock" enabling them to be connected to a NACS or CCS port. You can find these...

I'm presently in the middle of a major home renovation (construction of a 26x32 garage with vaulted ceilings to accommodate car lifts--effectively making what would be a 2 car garage into a 4 car garage), and an addition. I haven't ordered a Lucid Air yet as I'm waiting on 2024 GT ordering to...

An air conditioner is a heat pump that works in only one direction. Coldness is just the absence of heat. An air conditioner leverages the scientific principle called the latent heat of vaporization to collect the heat inside and move it outside. A heat pump is just an air conditioner with a...

Oh, and wheel weight has an impact as well. The bigger wheels are slightly heavier. Plus the wider tires are likely a little heavier too.

The circumference of the wheel has almost nothing to do with the reduced range of the 20" and 21" wheel vs. the 19" wheel. The tire circumference is about the same on all the wheels offered by Lucid (the smaller wheels have taller profile tires mounted to them resulting in about the same tire...

Actually, looking at the configurator, it doesn't look like you can get massaging seats with leather in Pure/Touring....you can only get massage with PurLuxe interior.

Does anyone know when it will be possible to place an order for a 2024 Grand Touring? I'm ready to order one and none of the already built 2023's have my desired configuration.

It would be super helpful if there was a complete list of features (perhaps even in a comparison table with trim levels across so that any differences between trim levels could be easily spotted). When buying any car, I want to know what I'm getting (and what I'm not getting). If there are...
