Currently we use a 240v 50a circuit and the charger from Ford. The Lucid supplied charger and the portable from Ford are stored in the trunks for "emergency" use. The only way we have been able to calculate an acceptable charge for both is with the Lucid home charger but that requires a 100A...

She leaves at 6am, gets home about 730. 135 miles round trip plus about 7 more to pick up the dog. I know we are not typical users. Add in the commutes go through the heart of LA and its a torcher test. That's the very reason we started this 3 years experiment. I think the best answer until...

My Lucid behaves this way no matter where I am. Its been to Lucid service twice. Always pronounced "functioning as designed". Between all of my "daily drivers" I rack up just over 60k miles a year. I use all driver aids like HA or just lane keep assist, depending on the car, as I don't plan...

A little clarification; Pragmatic- the 180 mile commute is just the commute, no other quick stops nor the few extra miles to the DC charger. I get home about 8pm and leave the next morning at 4:15. That first hour would be at peak rate ( grandfather at a comparatively low rate for San Diego...

My 12 hour run, usually 6 or less, was primarily do to charging. Waiting in line at the chargers and then long times charging do to what I feel is excessively conservative charging curves. I had to charge to 90% to reasonably expect to reach the next charger and have enough juice to run the AC...

Halodde, I completely agree with you. I just took my pure in for its 1 year service at 20,000 miles (it sat unused for 5 months). Complained that at virtually every single charge station the Lucid is out charged by most everything that sits next to me, every Hyundai, Mercedes, Porsche, VW and...

Worst drive assist I've had the misfortune of using. Wont follow tighter curves on freeway, ping pongs down lane and "works" on fewer miles of road then Ford or GM with their need for photo documented roads.

Sorry to revive such an old thread. Just did Orange County to Phoenix 3 weeks ago. Car was loaded with luggage and temps in OC were in the 70s. By Riverside it was 90 and traffic was horrible. By the Curacao Summit it was 100. By Quartzite, 104 the rest of the way. With all of the charging...

Life of Pi does really sparkle with Atmos, even using my Klipsch bouncing sound off the ceiling. As opposed to ceiling mounted speakers. My main theater uses a 12.2 system but I don't think any movies are even mastered for this format. I wouldn't get to caught up in how many speakers or the...

SDG&E is really bad. If you have existing solar you are grandfathered to the tier system but the duration is limited. Most will expire over the next few years. All new solar and most other residential users in CA are required to go to TOU. No brainer to go solar here in South OC. 75 panels...

Yeh, I've got the Porsche system too. The extra processor and speakers are defiantly worth it with a soft top but still not great. I don't usually listen to Atmos except for home theater. Even then I tend to prefer other processing. Im hooked on details even though they are often mistakes in...

Haven't heard the Lucid yet, so my reference for factory systems in the Lexus Mark Levinson system. Other then that I go aftermarket. Can't wait to hear if the Lucid Surreal system is worth the money. You know, I tend to use different systems for different listening at home. 2 channel- B&W...

For now, we shall all just have to wait and see. We'll make money on the lawsuits to come (safety). I find that most people under 30 and many in their thirties are willing to accept all sorts of crap while they cant wait to throughout what works best simply because they didn't come up with it...

This is why we all have very high paying jobs doing something other than automotive journalism. No objectivity or common sense. Forums are dominated by "fan boys" and "computer nerd" style early converters. Obviously I'm here too. I just hope I don't blindly follow the hoard. I did however...
