    How long to keep an EV?

    I totally get the arc of your thinking here. Maybe it boils down to how happy you are in absolute terms VERSUS knowing what others are enjoying. I've had my Pure AWD for 21 months, done 100% of scenarios I'd do with any vehicle, a few new challenges (like planning where & when to charge ahead...

    Aerodynamic Efficiency and Range

    21 months in and I'm still agog in love with my Air. One huge compelling point for me was the absolute best aerodynamic coefficient of drag, clearly contributing to the longest possible range for any given battery capacity. For 20 years I owned a VW EuroVan for family trips with lots of stuff...

    Talk me out of/into 19" tires

    I'm surprised no one has mentioned potholes. I do believe the 19" are more forgiving of potholes. I need to find a way to measure lateral g forces. I'm delighted the new 2.6.16 release might slow down less around curves while in adaptive cruise, eager to try that out.

    Dash cam

    Nope. When I get to it (next month, travel) I'll take pictures and share some steps. I plan to do the passenger foot-well fuse tap for power.

    Dash cam

    I've purchased a highly-reputed dash cam kit, and read this thread. I've been procrastinating the actual install because there are like ten crucial steps to do it well. Has anyone compiled all the best bits of this thread into a single simple step by step guide? I know there are a couple of...

    How to check HP

    @borski I'm holding my 2023 Pure AWD Monroney sticker in my hand and nowhere does it state any horsepower. Should it? The Pure AWD was a short-lived option since withdrawn. I think Pure RWD was 480hp and Touring AWD was 510hp, so what really is Pure AWD hp? It's academic -- no numbers can affect...

    Finding a working charging station, a nightmare!

    Good list! I find ChargePoint too often routes me to inaccessible private residential and low power chargers. If you travel to Canada like I do, I recommend Electrify Canada, Flo and BC Hydro.

    Anybody losing their favorites on FM after the latest updates?

    I totally noticed a change here, but figured it for my situation: I routinely travel a 250-mile route, so some favorites are only available in certain locales. I payed attention to this over the past seven days and believe two new things are happening: it only offers those favorites relevant to...

    Range w/heater?

    From others here I learned this is a long-time NTSB requirement, all cars must tell you you're moving just a little faster than you actually are, to allow for all the things that can UNDER-report your speed, and maybe to slightly reduce speeding behavior I don't know. I own three cars and three...

    Trunk not closing solution

    I too experienced this "the hard way" > phoned service. They patiently explained it to me. AND of course it is indeed in the manual. We can only remember so many things in our heads. This one would benefit from the app explaining what it knows ("your trunk / frunk has been open for >10 minutes...

    Pothole damage to two wheels and tires

    I can't help with repair tips and the following may or may not apply to you in LA, but -- here in Seattle, the city's department of transportation is chartered with keeping the roads safe and in good repair, so when a pothole damages a vehicle, submitting a claim to the city results in...

    OTA Update 2.6.0

    Mine too -- 2.6.0 has a number of gems, super-smooth for me, both vehicle and phone app. Yes the little rear of my own Lucid appears when Adaptive Cruise is on, now with turn signals and brake lights. Peace of mind that they're working and I'm visible to anyone behind me not looking at their...

    Collision. Bumper, left fender and AC compressor damage. Got $29k quote from Bed-red Auto in Bellevue.

    Word of caution, when you take delivery (from this particular shop but also any/all) -- look VERY VERY closely at paint finish, using a very bright light if sunlight isn't there -- some prior Lucid paint finishing looks way worse later in sunlight than had one noticed in the shop lot prior to...

    Apple Watch App

    Lock-unlock the doors, open the frunk, open the trunk, open the charging port, sound the horn, turn the headlights on/off, turn climate on/off (and adjust desired cabin temp etc.)

    Rear bumper TRIM replacement

    Others in this forum know firsthand what's under the bumper cover. My repair/replacement was limited to the black trim piece (which does have the three sensors penetrating through it), not the body colored bumper cover, so I can't help with your question. The camera is up above the license plate...
