In situations like these, my standard answer is to tell people to try both/all. I can rave about a car all I want, but there's no way for anybody to measure my objectivity. Bugs aren't something that will show up on a test drive though, and I think that Lucid has far too many...unless I have...

You don't need to convince anyone here, and many of us are longtime Model S owners. The Model S is still a good car but even before Musk went off the deep end, I still put down my deposit for a Lucid. By the time I got the Lucid, I would have bought it over the S anyway, but I might have at...

It's confusing because Tesla says that. Lucid is listed as compatible in a few places. If you take the Tesla app, add an Air as another vehicle and then add a Gravity, many Superchargers show up as available, without anything saying anything about which car it's available for. I don't have an...

That raises an interesting question. If they released an actual beta, not something simply labeled beta as is all too common these days for buggy software, it might work for some people. With real beta programs, there are NDAs, expectations that users will test certain things as directed, and...

It's frustrating that it's not there. Whether or not it's a big deal comes down to the individual car owner. It's completely understandable why it might cost them sales. Personally, I can wait. But I had an early reservation and didn't buy the Air until a bit over a year ago, when they finally...

So am I, although I don't know how much I really need one. I did find myself in an area with Superchargers recently, with no CCS nearby. But I didn't need a charge. I recently took a 700+ mile trip up to the Sierras. I don't want to get into a long story, but my brother in law was there with his...

More than 88% of today's teenagers won't be teenagers in 30 years. 30 years ago, 0% of teenagers used smartphones. I don't think any of that is predictive. I will, however, predict that AA in the Lucid will take less than 30 years.

If we take the part about it normally taking six months but could take longer, with the part about Google and Lucid needing to agree to terms, with the part about Lucid expecting it in September, with the part about them expecting it before September, the implication is that things were...

The problem isn't scheduling. The problem is meeting the schedule. I'm not trying to pass blame, but scheduling won't help if they don't have full control of things.

The same thing happened to me, but a lot of "once" things are ways of learning lessons so that there won't be a next time. I showed up in Los Angeles and needed a small amount of charge after a few days to get out of the City, after which there would have been plenty of places to charge with no...

Not surprising. It turns out that I'm not the only one to move from a Tesla to a Lucid. Who knew? I would have hoped that Lucid would do well regardless of Elon Musk but...thank you Elon?

I haven't looked into what it would take to switch to heat pumps but I have a furnace in the attic and another for the lower level. The one downstairs is in an enclosure with the water heater, and there's an unused breaker panel right outside of it, so it shouldn't be too bad. I haven't been...

36.94 reported incidents per 1,000 drivers is 3.694 incidents per hundred drivers, or under 3.7%, with the median at about 2.7% and the best of the group at about 1.9%. The accident rate for Tesla drivers was about 2.6%, as opposed to about 1% for the very best, with the median slightly under...

It hasn't gone through yet, and I think it was voted down the last time it came up, but it keeps coming up. I think it's a matter of time, and some of the rules for people who are grandfathered in have a limit to how long they will be grandfathered in. For now, I'm on gas for home/water...

I'm on EV-A. I also have solar and battery. What kills me are not the rates per kWh, but the mandated non-bypassable charges. There's nothing I can do about those and they went from negligible to high. PG&E doesn't "pay" me anything for energy sent to the grid. They credit me the retail rate...
