    Your poor steering wheel alignment is due to a poor wheel alignment. The steering wheel is supposed to be properly aligned when the wheel alignment is done. Given that fundamental error in wheel alignment, you should ask for a complete wheel alignment to be redone. Happens often with my ICE cars.

    Pro and Con evaluation of battery saving

    That's a pretty lame effort to equate the fire hazard of a gasoline tank with an actively energized electrical circuit. A doubled line gas tank with the car shut off has zero hazard compared to an electrically energized circuit connected for several weeks. This is especially concerning...

    Pro and Con evaluation of battery saving

    Charging the battery causes the HV battery to heat up. When the temp gets too high the battery coolant gets circulated to cool it down, resulting additional energy consumption from the coolant pump. This is especially noticeable in high heat climates (i.e., AZ) so the coolant pump runs longer to...

    Pro and Con evaluation of battery saving

    Your fire hazard concern is legitimate, and I would not leave it charging for that length of time either. The Battery loss of charge is going to happen, that is the nature of batteries. That being said, this forum concern for "phantom" lost charge is unfounded. The way the Lucid battery setup...

    Longer charging cable ?!

    Induction chargers on the floor are already on the market. The EV manufacturers just to install the car chargers to match the floor charger. The floor charger has to be in addition to the port charger. It's not likely highway charge stations will have floor chargers anytime soon.

    Those Motor Trends mats were probably made in Bangladesh, where they have no worker protection laws. Those 12 year old's sometimes forget to add the "new car smell" chemical to the rubber mixing vats.

    A Sad Farewell #2

    That grill might be able to have a useful function. If it gets hot enough outside you could make some cool gourmet waffles on it!

    I would also ensure that the car's wheel alignment is up to spec and the wheels are properly balanced. Don't assume that Lucid did the job right when you got your car new. If you have hit a few bad potholes, you need to have those checked again as well.

    Your DA didn't answer because you can refuse delivery. I told my DA some time ago that I would refuse delivery if there were serious, cosmetic flaws as well any safety and security flaws (cracked windshield, lights don't work as intended, can't lock or unlock doors, not drivable, etc.) and he...
