Im now wondering whether my windshield seal (or lack thereof) are due to the cold. It was single digit temps when I noticed it.

Well it was not 2.1 kw/mile — in miles per KW, that would have been only .50miles per KW. It was actually 2.1 miles per kilowatt — 4 times as good! (2.1 kw/mile 31 miles for 65 miles.) Trip B there shows most of miles I have driven since taking delivery in September — averaging 2.7 miles/kw.

Was cold and did not precondition. In hindsight I think the combination of the two was the issue. What was weird was the message on the EA screen. It said something to the effect of it was being “limited by EA software.”

I bought a second set of OEM wheels and had the Sotto Zero III winter tires mounted on them. Car was dangerous to drive to the tire store with the summer ties on it!

I got 2.1kw/mile today. Finally over 2.0! A 100 mile drive saw range start at 370 and end 145. so at 2.0ish, roughly 50% of what the range says.

I parked next to one at the local tire store the other day — same exact specs right down to the fact that we both had 21 inch wheels in Utah. Hence the need to be at the tire store.

Got my car back after a month-long trip to Scottsdale where, among other things, they replaced windshield. Although it has been a month since I last drove it, I noticed it was orders of magnitude louder when going over 50 mph. Cam to realize jet engine sound was wind and water intrusion along...

tried 5 of 8 EA 350kw chargers — the best I got was 15kw/hour. I unplugged when I realized that at that rate (and the ambient temps), it was actually DRAINING not adding range! very frustrating.

Took my Lucid to the local tire store today and was parked next to an IDENTICAL Lucid. That owner had just left. I bought an extra set of 19inch wheels and Pirelli SottoZeros The tire store told me that he was putting a snow tire on the 21 inch wheels -- I did not think...

@ejktouring, my car had to be shipped back to Arizona to recalibrate the cameras and while it is there they are going to fix/replace the misaligned windshield. The local service team replaced the faulty camera and driver side rear sunshade before it was shipped back but I did not have a chance...

I’ve noticed a rattle when the rear fort sunshades are up. The slightest vibration through the suspension at virtually any speed causes the top of the sunshade to tap lightly against the window. For me, the driver side is way more pronounced than the passenger side but both have it. It...

No it is not designed to be lit. I thought it was odd that it was not lit but I do not see how it could be.

Wow. I should have fought that! I agree it’s the principle of the thing but then again, the SeriusXM customer service is on par with a cable company for ease to deal with. Frankly, I’d pay hundreds of dollars to avoid having to interact with them ever again.

The Roadie BT is another device (just like another car). It comes with 3 free months (well, not free — they charged me $2.13 for the first three months) and then something like $100/year thereafter. Sound quality I think is the same as any BT device — I think no better or worse than streaming...

News is great on many levels — the right thing to do, shows they listen, etc. As others have noted, if it is the software app over cellular service, there is little point. The key to satellite radio is that it works where cellular service does not, especially here in mountain west (Utah...
