    Towing a Lightship?

    Yes, the Lucid Gravity Dream Edition can tow the Lightship L1 AE.1 Cosmos Edition, as it's within the 6,000 lb towing capacity. Just confirm you have the tow package and check final trailer weight.

    One key to rule them all!

    Now that I've collected a bunch of keys, I thought it might be fun to carry a magic-themed keychain—something with a small trick or part of a trick that's always with me. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    Impressions of my first long road trip

    The range and charging speed limitations you mentioned are definitely common EV road trip challenges, especially at highway speeds and in colder weather. It’s a trade-off many of us face: amazing driving experience vs. the current state of charging infrastructure. Glad the Electrify America...

    Windshield Crack - Not Covered by Warranty

    Lucid does not cover windshield cracks under warranty, even if caused by thermal stress. The service center confirmed a small chip triggered the crack when using the defroster. If replacing out of pocket, consider non-OEM glass for better durability. Many owners report similar issues, and it's a...

    MA Property tax on lease

    Just wondering who else is miffed by this repetitive road tax.. my state in New England bases rate off of MSRP. After 5 years it bottoms out... my 08 was almost 140k new, so tax is approx 600 a year. The 6MT is less in their tax book, but my VIN pulled up with the R tronic price level... Sucks...

    Tire repair

    I've been toying with this idea for a while now. While competition is tough, everyone needs tires every few years. I'm thinking of starting with tire sales and services, and possibly expanding into suspensions and brakes later on, targeting car enthusiasts. I plan to be very active with local...

    Tire repair

    Should I replace tires based on tire age alone? Replacing tires every 6 years regardless of wear seems to be a not uncommon recommendation. I have about 6000 miles on my 7 year old Continental Extreme Contact DWS. Excellent tread, no sidewall cracking, no uneven wear, no sign of any damage...

    Lucid Mobile Tire service

    Anybody with any experience in a newer model year Lucid Air Grand Touring? How do the interior and ride quality stack up against an S-Class? I'm currently in a S580e and contemplating going all-electric. The EQS really doesn't interest me, and it looks like it will be a few years until the...

    Impressions of my first long road trip

    Just completed our first long road trip in our ‘23 Passport ExL. As hoped, it was a most comfortable ride. Seats were great, plenty of room for luggage and a cooler, and MPG was 26+! I am extremely happy with our ride. Waze worked great when needed. The V6 cruised effortlessly through the...

    Best home wifi router?

    What router would you recommend for home? It would also need good range as the house is one level with ~ 3500 sq ft and it's located in the study on one end of the house. A few phones (Apple), tablet (Android), & couple laptops (Windows 10). No home office. I don't think I would want Nest & the...

    Charging cable theft

    I need a new level 2 charging cable for my Volvo Recharge. Volvo is quoting me $1500 for the replacement. What are my options for a less expensive option? Would something like this work?
