Wow! I've been driving without front plates for years and only once got a ticket in Port Jefferson while parked on a street. That ticket was from a town cop who was also ticketing a red M3 for the same reason and not a Suffolk Country cop. My understanding is that Nassau/Suffolk cops won't issue...

Yup, his scenario is exactly what happens to me. As @Andretex had mentioned, yes, I did interrupt the charging since I was ready to leave, but that shouldn’t have made a difference. I’ve done this with every EV I’ve owned and it was always uneventful. So the question is why is this happening...

Recently, when I pull my home L2 charger (ChargePoint HomeFlex) from the car, the Pilot panel freezes but other screens are fine. The only way to correct this is with a reboot from the steering wheel buttons & brake. Using the Air logo is a nonstarter since that screen is frozen. The real...

Well to be fair, there were these negatives, some of which sounded familiar with some early Airs: ‘My test car and a few others at the first drive event had some fit, finish and tech issues. One of the most egregious was on my production-unit test car a nearly three-quarter-inch misalignment...

The two tone in the Pure, at least with Purluxe, is so subtle I could see some owners missing it until the light is just right and the dark gray rear is revealed.

I knew I should have worn a hard hat! ;)

I thought I’d read somewhere that there were two different software teams, Air & Gravity, but I could be wrong. Either way I’d be lying if I said I didn’t feel a little like the forgotten stepchild.

I find a good fart clears what other odors may exist in the car. 🤣

Drive in movie? What’s that? Where’s that? ;)

We have both the Lucid Air and the BMW i5 xDrive40. Both are great cars and each has their strengths & weaknesses. You can't go wrong with either.

It had been promised by either Peter or some other top player at Lucid (can’t recall who) that the Air would not be forgotten and much (or some?) of the Gravity’s UI would filter down to the Air. Do we still think that’s in the cards? Admittedly I’d be a bit disappointed if they’ve closed the...

Really smooth video requires about 60 fps. The turn signal video never looked like that to me. It does look more like 30 fps or even less. I do a lot of video editing so I’m probably more sensitive to this than most. With that said, the Genesis Electrified G80 I had owned had similar low frame...

I actually thought he was excellent, especially having been thrown into this so recently.

When you said, "Meanwhile, oil-based economies such as Saudi Arabia's are facing reality and beginning to diversity away from fossil fuel dependency while we persist in poking our heads deeper into the sand", I think the meaning was clear enough. As for high rise apartment dwellers or many...

There is nothing legally binding about the PCA nor is there any mechanism for enforcement. So you put far more faith in it than do I. Not as bad, but it reminds me of the failed mechanism we call the U.N. As far as EV incentives are concerned, I can see both sides of the argument. EVs will take...
