That, indeed, is exactly how I will forever articulate my decision to move from Tesla to Lucid. Also: Lucid makes cars for people who love to drive. Tesla makes cars for people who like computers. I remember when the early Teslas came out, and the reviewers were mostly making comments like...

I have run my car down to 6% a few times. But yes, like I said "depending on weather" I can easily get over 300 miles on a nice summer's day when I start at 100% and push it that far. The best I ever did was 360, which I rounded down to 350. In winter, 280 is more realistic. Given I do road...

There's also quite a bit of variation from one Lucid to the next. I was fine with my level of wind noise until I took a recent ride in @Bobby's car. His is definitely quieter than mine.

The other huge factor to consider when talking about road tripping an EV is WHEN the trip is taking place. If you are road tripping during a major holiday or known event like the recent eclipse, you are entering a world of pain. This is also an issue for ICE cars, of course. But any delays...

That bit about phone integration all but guarantees Android Auto will have to play into the equation. They simply can't integrate the phone into the car experience and leave off half the potential customer base. Particularly as they expand globally.

I've found on road trips with my Touring I seldom go far enough in one day to have to charge more than once. Start at 100%. Depending on weather go 280-350 miles. Charge. Go another 280-350 miles. By then I'm pretty tired and ready for bed, anyway. If I plan my hotels well, I can even often...

You can find our referral codes in the sidebar of our profile pages. Or, I'm sure someone here will offer one to you shortly. Congrats on your decision to order. Report back when you get the car, or feel free to ask questions or search the forum here for some answers. Welcome to the community.

Correct. GT-P only existed because they realized there was more demand than they expected for Dream Edition. They wanted something to sell those folks who had the money and wanted more than GT offered. Sapphire fills that slot now. Albeit at a much higher price. This is why I don't think they...

I think the heat pump is a great upgrade for the GT. It'll further help differentiate the trim and give people even more reason to upgrade. And it shows clearly Lucid means to get more out of their investment in the Sapphire project by bringing down their learnings to lower trims as they go. I'm...

I think there are actually three factors to this. 1. What @borski said. If you read posts from folks like @Bobby and me carefully, we are always quick to point out the software is certainly not perfect. We just strongly disagree when folks claim it’s “awful” or “terrible.” The distinction...

The thing with eclipse chasing is that it takes serious planning. That means booking a hotel well in advance (We got ours over a year ago), arriving a day early, and staying until the day after. Drive in and charge before the crowds arrive and again after they’ve all gone. Problem solved...

I believe that button is in the Pure to open the frunk, in the event someone got trapped in there. Similar to the buttons required in trunks to do the same. No more mob guys tossing people in trunks and driving them out to the woods to dump them.

In 18 months, they will also have Gravity as an option. I agree. Get them into the brand today, keep them for their next five cars. As opposed to letting them buy a Mercedes, BMW, or Tesla today because you don’t have any SUV to sell at the moment.

That really shows off the color nicely.

This is what you’re looking for, @Chrry.
