    Cosmos incoming ……

    I think most of AMP-1 is mostly empty square footage unfortunately at this point. The real capacity for Air and Gravity is only 90K units, which is still under-utilized but already paid for. Elon is being much more aggressive to pivot Austin from the Cybertruck because his profits are...

    What's the take away from the Lucid earnings call? I didn't attend. What was your take?

    Yeah I feel like the initial 2025-2026 build Gravities have the hardware gremlins at least triaged and they know where they are after sitting in a SC being studied for 6 months....

    Cosmos incoming ……

    I thought they already said that the investment to update AMP-1 to mass manufacture Cosmos was not palatable. It's setup for Gravity and Air production lines, they have the test pilot line at Coolidge. Will see how they react going forward, there was some cautious optimism about some momentum...

    The Gravity definitely is a NA and MEA market sized car for sure. Even though it's the smallest footprint of them.

    What's the take away from the Lucid earnings call? I didn't attend. What was your take?

    Same, I heard some meaningful progress, acting like a real company trying to be responsible and responsive. I heard him slip saying Cosmos and Earth but might have been reading too much into it. They have additional credit from PIF, but I think it's basically money to keep them treading water...

    For those complaining about Lucid repair times and cost

    All the modern expensive cars are like this with the way they are constructed and all the sensors and recalibration, Lucid, my friend's Model S was 20K for a front/side bumper when someone clipped him in an intersection, Porsche, MB, Cybertruck, BMW. Let's see how the body repair market evolves...

    Is something wrong? 90% == 293 miles

    As soon as it got cold here my dynamic is like pre-dropping as if it's predicting the cold weather and heater usage will drop it back into the 2.7-2.8 range...

    Is something wrong? 90% == 293 miles

    I am not convinced they are even pressure sensors in the Gravity, they are inferred calculations from wheel speed sensors, over a trip I go from 42 cold to 48 on the highway. Which is why it says drive 20mph to get a reading. I believe some of it based on tire temperatures increasing. But the...

    Is something wrong? 90% == 293 miles

    Yeah I've found the tire pressure calculation is off by a couple PSI. But I went down the rabbit hole with the accuracy of tire pressure monitors, or the feedback on the electronic air compressor I have and adjusted my pressures up by about 2 PSI from the displays. It definitely will help...

    Cosmos incoming ……

    Yes, I suspect they won't make the same exact mistakes as with Air and Gravity, but some other weird thing will undoubtedly pop up. Atlas motors will be new. Hopefully the basic stuff that has been solved for ages with other cars like trim staying connected, window regulators, steering...

    Any issues if I skip my 12 month maintenance visit

    I would call the service center and see if you can ask them to do a remote check. I did this once and they said I could delay it because there was nothing to actually repair. That being said my car was only at 5K miles after a year. It's about a $350 service, and I would say schedule it, but...

    Cosmos incoming ……

    They both have manual wash and wipe on the turn signal stalk.

    Cosmos incoming ……

    I mean that would actually be a cool and aspirational type of marketing that works. It's been a while since we had a cool car featured in a movie that got everyone excited...
