Stunning color choice! Congratulations! They really should call it a chameleon blue... :)

Stunning! Thank you for sharing. Maybe next generation Air with FB since i went ahead with cosmos silver.. :)

I also wish I knew about the latest and unnecessary insurance company shenanigans. - My home+auto insurance company informed me that because it's "special" car... they'll have to go through the underwriting process. - Assuming they'll approve... Looking at about $1.2K/6 months. Full coverage -...

I checked my city's single-home EV charger permit process It's very archaic. It has never been updated since 2017.. at least document control number wise. All paper submittals. No online process. Well, as long as that gives me the authorization and I take the proper steps to prevent any future...

Did $1500 include all the permit and inspection processes?

Thanks for sharing your story. Things you have to do to save money... Did you also have to get a permit from the city to do the trenching and go through the regulatory inspections?

Thank you for the additional info. I'm reaching out to two more electricians... Hopefully at least one will be completely honest and factual. lol

lol so many new acronyms to learn and research.. Thanks for the more info about DCFC. I feel comfortable going with the Lucid charger. Owning a car shouldn’t be an “investment”, but It’s been a big investment. Financial, home-improvement, and driving life-style wise. But the driving feeling is...

Thank you. Aside from the price & fee quotes, I’ll definitely have to ask more questions to the quote-advisor and also to the local EV electrician regarding the cable size and able to support the Lucid’s 80 amp charger.

Agreed.. a local EV electrician’s price quote was at least 2/3 less !!!

The local EV electrician said I don’t need to get the permit from the city… seems like optional at best? I might to ask few other local electricians for the correct/proper answer here in Cali.

Thanks for the input. Contacted other local licensed electrician and definitely cheaper than the quote. Seems like Level 2 charging at 80 amp is still safe for the battery… at least what I’ve researched and read so far.

Thanks for the input. I’m thinking Lucid 80 amp charger + hardwired & extra outlet at the moment.

Oh that’s great. March 2024 promotion also came with $1k credit for lucid store… 80 amp charger at $200 (after $1k discount)… Can’t get any better than this. Lol

Congrats. Fathom Blue is an amazing color. I really wanted that color choice for a while and didn't budge with order status... Here's the photo of FB outside in the sun. :) My San Diego sales advisor was kind enough to let me take it to the top of the parking lot garage to see the color in the sun.
