Well that's the thing. The timing is complicated by several factors that are too involved to get into here. If I do go ahead with my Lucid purchase, I need to sell my current car in the next two weeks. Then I need to rent a car until my Lucid comes in--whenever that is. I just need to feel...

You may be right. I'll sleep on it and decide in the morning.

I own my Audi GT outright. I'm wondering if I should just keep it.

So today I grabbed an AGT that had actually been produced (I think--still no VIN) and have started the financing application. The ordering process was pretty meh. I originally placed the order on March 23rd. My SA said I should see the car in late June/Early July. Ok, no promises, just a...

There's nothing wrong with your car (well, at least not because of this thing lol). It is called the Ackermann effect, and it happens with every AWD vehicle. It get this in my Audi too.

Not really--it is pretty basic. I have a good repair kit in each of our cars. You'll also need a jack (and inflator), because it is REALLY difficult plugging a tire that is on the car. You do want to buy fresh plugs and rubber cement every year or so.

That's a good looking SUV. Thanks for posting the vids and pics.

This is an interesting point. Was the $1,100 fee an early termination fee as specified in the leasing agreement? Or was it some other amount. Either way, that amount has to match something specified in your lease agreement somewhere.

I have been plugging my own tires pretty much I started driving 50+ years ago. I have never had a plug fail. Never. Occasionally I get a puncture that isn't repairable--usually something close to the sidewall, or as happened recently, a screw/nail that went in sideways causing a long gash. I...

Is there any way to determine the version number of a Tesla SC from either the Tesla site, app or third party app?

Well they could start by actually building my AGT. When I committed to it, they said is was going to be available in four weeks. It has been four weeks and it hasn't even entered production. Funny thing I noticed today: Lucid is once again out of available cars with DDP. The last 8 or so of...

If I need to get out of a car lease early, I find it is generally better to just buy out the lease and sell the car privately. I made $15k doing this with my Q7, but that was during covid when no one had any cars to sell. This isn't so attractive if you're upside down on the car, which will...

You can tell us. No one will find out...

I'm seeing $10.24 for the card and $100 for programming.

Is Lulu your car's given name, or is that a family nickname?
