    Auto Insurance using regen breaking

    Sounds to me that the problem is not the fact that you use regenerative braking, but rather you are releasing the accelerator too quickly which results in a hard braking event which, I would argue, is just as dangerous as a hard braking event with traditional brakes. The key is to refine the...

    Side Mirror Tilt Rant

    Two other suggestions: 1) Ability to tilt driver mirror too 2) Ability to adjust downtilt positioning/angle of mirror

    AEB in reverse

    Had a tangentially related experience today. I was parallel parked in front of my parents’ Tesla. Got in and shifted into to reverse fairly quickly. Started backing up and there was some latency in the camera images to the point where I almost hit their car. Just before striking I got the stop...

    DMV Lucid Owners

    Also, Cars and Cigars in Ashburn kicks off 4/13 (http://carsandcigarsashburn.com/). This is nice because it runs from 1-3 pm and is hosted in larger parking lots, this one being held at DC Prime Steakhouse. I will likely be going, but in my old Defender rather than the Lucid!

    Bike Mounts and Crossbars

    I wanted to revisit the suction cup solution for mounting bikes. I have a single bike SeaSucker that I use to transport my road bike (~15 lbs total weight, spread over four suction cups) or my mountain bike (~30 lbs total weight, spread over four suction cups). Could this relatively small...

    Please make "follow the road" and "now join the highway" stop!

    100% agree! I always found these commands completely useless and comical.

    April 28th at 1 pm works for me too! Looking forward to conversing in a less chaotic environment like Cars and Coffee.

    Aiming between 6:45 and 7 am. Don’t think we need to be there too early since it’s still dark until 7 am.

    toll tags/rfid on windshield

    My EZ Pass (originating in VA) would not work through the presumably metallic windshield coating. The most effective spot (though not most aesthetic) is the passenger side lower corner. There you will note a section of the windshield that is lacking the metallic coating.

    Braking Under "Spirited" Driving

    Yes, I do plan to test in an appropriately safe environment (i.e. Mexico) to try to determine if there's a legitimate issue or just normal behavior for this car. A straight line braking test using the brake pedal (with and without antilock engaging) will tell me more. Definitely got my...

    Braking Under "Spirited" Driving

    I know we've discussed the sometimes unpredictable nature of the regenerative braking in the past. I had been surprised by the response when taking an on ramp at speed expecting regen braking and there was none (no, I was not near full charge). Took that same on ramp last night and was...

    Rivian R1S

    My wife has an R1S which is different from my Lucid, but equally good in its class of vehicle. The biggest complaint the family has is the harsh ride. I did go with the all terrain tires but the issue is more attributable to the suspension. Even when set to the softest setting the ride is...
