Not sure what you want to negotiate at this stage? If you want to buy out the lease, I don't think at this point the buyout price (i.e. residual) is likely to be negotiable. I would imagine the lease gives you the option to buy it out by prepaying all the future payments and the end-of-lease...

Would you be able to find your car in a parking lot? (sorry-- GMan posted while I was drafting my reply. His was better.) However, it could be an advantage if pulled over by the cops for speeding.

Important to note, the primary benefit (in this case) is that Lucid (or the bank) is carrying the risk of depreciation. If the car is worth less in 36 months than the residual -- which is based on the MSRP, as noted above -- then you will turn the car back in, and Lucid will be stuck with a car...

if you look at the total monthly cost, it is almost the same. Remember in the 18 month lease your $15k down payment is nearly $1000/month over the course of the lease. ($15,000/18 = $833 per month). in the 36 month lease, that down payment is only half that much ($417/month). so the monthly...

I listen to Spotify in my AT. I have ~160 albums in my library (Library>Playlists>Albums), all of which show up on my phone or computer. However, in my Lucid, only 100 show up in the Spotify app. Any ideas why this is the case or how to remedy that? Unfortunately, the albums seem to appear...

Dunno. They own Tire Rack, perhaps they ship tires? Just alarmed by the frequency of bubbles in the Pirellis (albeit mostly the 21's, not the 19's). My wife had an Audi A4 w/ Pirellis; she had so many bubbles that I ended up just having the Pirelli's swapped out for Michelins. Still have...

There is no America's/Discount Tire near me. Has anyone purchased the tire protection plan via phone or web without visiting a store? Thanks in advance!

No idea why it's not there. I ordered one in late March and received it shortly thereafter.

My knee replacement definitely sets of the security system at the airport in the express/'TSA PreCheck" lanes. I always need to have the full body scan performed.

In Rhode Island we don't have TOU for residential customers, but this winter our rates have been almost $0.30/kWh, 24 hours/day! This is due to the high cost of natural gas in our region, in turn due to the limited pipeline supply plus the Ukraine war. Will be going back down to around $0.20...

I reached out to my SA last week, and he identified a car that met my desired features (Zenith Red, 19", Glass Canopy (required for the $7500 discount), Santa Cruz interior); he put it on hold for a couple of days. I updated info in my account needed to process the order, and they asked for...

I believe the Wall Connector can be configured to deliver a lower current. You might need to swap out the breaker for a lower amperage breaker if the Tesla connector automatically detects that? As you likely know, in the Tesla app you can dial down the charging amperage. Probably worth...

I asked my SA about this last week, and he said they didn't have any samples and he didn't have any idea when they would have them. He seems pretty clueless about basically any question I had. Maybe I need to change my SA.

I think I've seen your car on the East Side (by Lincoln School) and even spoke with you once in the WFM parking lot on Waterman St. I have been fine with my RWD Tesla here, as I was with a BMW i3, and even a Jaguar. I don't really drive that far (typical Rhode Islander by now); I'm just not...

I am on the waitlist for a Pure, with legacy pricing. I have no particular need for a new car now, so the notion of ordering a RWD Pure, which is likely to be available late this year or even next year is attractive to me. I have a 3 year old Tesla Model 3 RWD which I still enjoy. Still, I am...
