    Curb rash for stealth rims / black color touch up paint?

    I'm also curious if mobile wheel repair people have a matching paint for stealth rims. If it's a semi-transparent gray, it's not likely you'll be able to make a good looking spot repair.

    No-drill front license plate?

    I ordered one for my GT, but it's sitting in a file folder, unused. I don't plan to take the car into SF. Haven't had a no-plate problem yet.

    Test Drive

    I may be a slow learner, but it actually took me a month or so of owning my GT to fully appreciate it. Didn't feel it on my few test drives.

    Yay Hardware upgrade CPU and memory

    I think I read here that the CCC module is in the passenger footwell, not behind the cockpit panel.

    Yay, Tesla charging … July 31!

    The Air is only limited to 50kW on existing Tesla superchargers. The entire EV charging provider industry is moving to 1000V NACS, including Tesla. Though the NACS adapter may currently mostly add peace of mind, it'll be very valuable in the future as more 1000V NACS stations are built out by...

    Android Auto in 2.7.0 - Initial Impressions

    I recently had a similar experience in two different rental Toyotas for a week each. I did have to manually start Android Auto occasionally on both the older and the newer-infotainment Toyotas. AA was invaluable during each day's 2-4 hour planned drive. We occasionally plugged in the AA source...

    Oh you know they were. Just not on camera.

    New Lucid Gravity video: Beach. Music. Grill. Repeat. In Lucid Gravity.

    It's likely an issue with the vacuum's inrush current. A vacuum with a brushless motor should work. Electric grills don't have a significant inrush current and likely would be OK.

    Best Home Charger for Gravity and Rivian?

    Two charging stations are better than one, the same as two sinks in a primary bath. Locate one near the charge port of each car. Some charging stations can load-share multiple units on one circuit if necessary - including Tesla's Universal Wall Connector.

    hide map search box? day/night colors?

    You can pull down the music interface or navigation from the top screen to the bottom screen, but there's currently no way to have two different apps on the top vs the bottom.

    In watching these beautiful videos, rather than feeling a call to buy the car, what I really want is to be young and good-looking.

    Hello, we are here, and we are electrified!

    Congrats! What a change from internal combustion, a remarkable improvement in daily driving. Lucid has roof and windshield sunshades in their web store: https://store.lucidmotors.com/shop-all/ I use their roof sunshade 9 months of year - highly recommend it. I have an inexpensive old universal...

    Android Auto Apps, view all...

    Press the little grid icon in the lower left corner of your car's Android Auto screen and then scroll to see all your AA apps. You can use AA's settings app (the gear icon) to control which apps are visible in Android Auto.

    Yay, Tesla charging … July 31!

    You'd want to buy an adapter rated at 1000V and 500A, so that it will be safe with Tesla's future V4 superchargers and also NACS charging stations operated by anyone else, on which the Air will change at full speed.There are many poorly made, unsafe adapters for sale on Amazon. Buy one from...
