    Lucid’s future, like most startups, rests on their ability to correct all their many mistakes. I suspect many of the UX issues you note...

    I haven’t seen that, but are you sure they’re referring to copper and not cobalt? In any case yes, both play a role and can impact...

    PetevB replied to the thread Lucid's Future.
    Lucid’s current engineering philosophy is fundamentally different than Porsche’s. In fact it’s like the old Porsche, the one that nearly...

    PetevB replied to the thread Choosing gravity GT vs DE.
    I think Kyle’s video said 7:1 front and 8.7:1 rear. I think that’s for the standard Gravity GT.

    PetevB replied to the thread Okay, I still choose the Air, but….
    @borski Is either your DE or the Gravity the type of car that would get you out of bed early on a Sunday morning to go for a drive? If...

    I'm in complete agreement re the time spent at gas stations during normal course of business. The gravity will be our household's fifth...

    Probably not, I suspect it's faster in most road trip cases (depending on how you hit the lights). But above are the numbers I found...

    PetevB reacted to Elfin's post in the thread OOS - Gravity Charging with Like Like.
    Doubling the voltage actually quarters cable losses, loss is current^2*resistance. Makes me wonder if we'll eventually see voltages...

    Worse than that. While water cooled cables are better in theory Tesla has substantially cut the cross section of the conductors. So V3...

    Keeping that cable cool has multiple functions, one of which is to reduce losses. Meaning a cool cable actually reduces your cost to...

    And then hired many of them back. Like I said, greed. Musk sent a clear message to his other lieutenants, but he still wants the ~1B in...

    You can universally count on people to be greedy (some more than others). Superchargers are a real profit center for Tesla, and they...

    PetevB replied to the thread OOS - Gravity Charging.
    Keep in mind Tesla will soon be deploying full V4 superchargers, which will charge faster than any of the tests conducted so far (rated...

    Can I ask what you don’t like? Anything annoying so far, or anything you wish they did differently?

    PetevB replied to the thread OOS - Gravity Charging.
    I did the math in the other thread, but leaving the house fully charged and charging to 300 miles you’d expect the Gravity to be...
