The seating, the leg/floor space, the view, the lighting, the sound ... best seat in the house. When I'm charging the car on the road and sitting in the car, that's where I go.

Gotta be photoshopped. I see no dust on that clean white car. No, wait, there's a bit of dirt on the tires ... nice editting! Just joking ... so where is this? Beautiful.

Oh, I fully agree as I have stated in the past that the calculations could certainly use some sophistication. I just didn't agree with the suggestion that the calculation be simplified to m*g*h, and your elaborated response seems to agree. As for the critical look, I think if you were to look at...

Though I'm sure you meant "unbeatable", many with normal bladders may agree that the range is unbearable.

Yeah, you'd want the dealer (as current owner) to get the information from Lucid and share (in writing) with you. Regardless, with the drive fault, you know that you'll likely need some immediate service on the car, and though the outcome after being serviced will likely be great, there is that...

I would speculate that you may find the BMS spins the fans less, wasting part of the energy spent on charging, if you lower the max charge target on hot days to say 50-70%, and thus have to charge more frequently. I've noticed the fans kick into high speed mode when DC charging as the battery's...

Hmmm. So, starting at say 9900' current elevation, highest point 10000', and destination elevation 0' (you didn't mention destination), and the reverse trip 0->10000->9900, you'd use the same energy? I'd be surprised, but then again you know rocket launches. I'd probably gone for an integral...

The entire charging system, including the car's and the charger, need thermal control. If your car is at a good temperature but the charger just finished a blistering charging session, its components including the cable will be hot and charging performance limited. If the external temperatures...

Third option ... hold slight pressure on the turn signal stalk while you're changing lanes, then release. Camera stays on and blinkers stay on while you're doing this. By "slight pressure" I mean that you do the same thing you'd do to get the three blinks, but don't release until you're ready...

I initially had such a concern, but it has so far not been an issue. Driving on hot sunny days, the top glass tint filters the sunlight and you don't feel like you need a hat. It is hot inside the car at first when you get in from leaving it in a sunny location in a parking lot, but that's the...

My experience is the same as Bobby's ... I used the fob twice, first when its functions were demonstrated to me when I first got the fob, and once at home just to confirm its use. Since then, stowed in a faraday pouch. My phone is my everyday access key. I do keep the card in my RFID-protected...

oops, my bad, thanks for correcting me! I had read that myself some time ago and since forgotten.

I don't believe that changing the map orientation on the pilot panel is a user option.

This is the way. Personally, I only turn on WiFi in the car when in my garage and I'm expecting an update soon, as my WiFi connection is usually faster than my cellular and I'm rural enough to not worry about someone hacking the WiFi connection.

The release numbering scheme is not a single digit increment -- there have not been 67 released versions since 2.0. And releases are distributed to cars not en masse but in small batches over a period of what seems to be around a week. How the batches are created and managed is not public...
