Just a small bit of advice - never buy a car based on promises of what is to come some day (key fob improvement, new service center, whatever). Buy it for what it is today - that way you won’t be disappointed when those other things never happen, or happen way later than what was promised...

What’s keeping me with Tesla right now is knowing myself very well and not wanting to deal with software issues or the other small niggles like mobile key problems . Maybe nothing major, but I know I would not handle it well and don’t want to risk that kind of $$$ and then hope I don’t have...

Man if I saw a Gravity at a SC I’d be all over it to the point of harassment, since the closest studio to me hasn’t had one on display when I’ve visited. I might even ask for a test drive. 😜

Looks awesome! Quick question - on your charging screen, you are at 31% and I think you had it set to charge to 80% - it says 30 minutes remaining. Just a question, but doesn’t that actually seem slow? I regularly charge from 30%-80% on my Tesla at a SC and it takes about 25 minutes - is it...

Rivian has nice charging sites - I wish Tesla had covers over the chargers for both shade and protection from rain.

The big downside on the Taycan is the pricing - there are plenty of compromises for sure, but the price is crazy.

Those wheel well openings look very off to me - is the suspension raised or is the aspect ratio off?

3 spots? That will make you real popular.

Best looking car there. Review of the diner?

Should Lucid step on BofA toes, or their own customers’ toes? Depends on who you want to keep happy, BofA or your paying customers? No reason to say they’ll make everyone whole, just that they will hold the inspection service and any associated fees to the standards spelled out by Lucid and...

I think this is very interesting - I got an email today from Lucid to browse their pre-owned vehicle inventory. When I clicked on the page, they explain the standards that are applied to their used vehicles. This is what is “allowable” on the car as offered from Lucid - so it would seem that...

A lot of people think the viability of Lucid long term hinges on a successful rollout of the $50k version - a lot of people also said that about the Gravity launch. I think what is way more important is the continued backing and patience of the Saudis - if they decide to pull the money...

Here are my charges at Tesla superchargers for roughly the same amount of energy delivered as HC_79: (the last one is super low because of the time I charged, but generally I am paying 32-35 cents per kw). Not sure if you also have to pay some kind of monthly membership fee on top of the kw...

Oof - those are expensive rates

There are lots of videos and articles about EVs causing vertigo, motion sickness, nausea, etc. It sucks to be sure, but man it’s quite a reach to blame Lucid for your medical issue, one that has not been reported by any other Lucid buyer yet. Your options are to pay out the lease, buy it out...
