Nice data points, but there are underlying assumptions that need to accounted for. Ignore EPA. You are not getting EPA because you are not driving like the EPA test cycle, and as you said, your driving conditions are uncontrolled. The car to car comparison is invalid because the driving...

You can swap the receiver and transmitter so the sun doesn’t shine on the receiver. It’s not in the instructions, but I did that and it works perfectly fine. Turn the array “upside down.”

Why not make much more subtle movements with the accelerator? Even with high regen, there is enough control that changes in acceleration/deceleration can be very gentle. Motion sickness can be induced by changes in acceleration (force vectors) in any direction. This includes straight-line stop...

Regen recovers 60% - 80% of kinetic energy that would otherwise be wasted as heat. In the real world, empirical evidence shows ~20% range gain with regen.

Adapters are a byproduct of multiple competing standards that the industry couldn’t agree on. I personally keep all adapters in my car so that I can go to any charging station that’s convenient. I don’t want to worry about whether or not the station is compatible with my car. I’ve used every...

I would trust the SoH and the API. The Pure has a usable capacity of ~84 kWh (the API will give you more precision/digits) for the 88 kWh battery pack: 78 / 84 = 93% (93 vs 92 is within rounding error for 2 digits of precision) We also know what that percentage value means - you can drive that...

I just got one for my Gravity and I hope to never have to use it. It really is very compact (10.5” x 6.5” x 4”) and lightweight (4.25 lbs), including the case and goo canister that is integrated into the unit. I looked into 3rd party inflators and I couldn’t find any with power cords that can...

It’s more than packaging. The hardware differences are real. DDPremium has 24 sensors instead of 32. It’s missing lidar and 7 cameras (7 cameras instead of 14) compared to DDPro. We don’t know how important those missing sensors are for just lane centering, and how much engineering work would...

Phones can get stolen, lost, and broken - higher value than normal car keys/fob. The card is a good backup for both. It’s nice to have choices for what you want to carry around with you!

It was a packaging decision. Lane-centering requires DDPro on the Air, so those with DDPremium opted out of the more advanced capabilities. Beyond that, while lane-centering could technically be brought to DDPremium, it’s probably a significant engineering effort because of the hardware...

I’m sure the autonomous driving division is well aware of the current limitations and is working hard on the next generation of DD Pro software. Today, DD Pro needs clear lane lines, and whether we like it or not, we have to accept it and drive accordingly. I’m hopeful that at some point in the...

It does sound like Gravity software as the root cause is a high probability. I hope everyone is submitting to swfeedback with vin and timestamps. Intermittent problems can be very difficult to diagnose.

Strange. I’ve driven many thousands of miles with DD Pro and I would say it doesn’t ping-pong. It does hunt a tiny bit on moderate curves, where I would give it a grade of B-. My Tesla on autopilot gets a C and my Volvo XC 90 gets an F (it leaves the lane) on the same curves. Tesla FSD gets an...

I get that the car sending an open command at unexpected times is one theory. Another theory is that there is a problem with the garage door system itself, as there is evidence that this has occurred in homes without Lucid vehicles. We have one forum post who reported that replacing the garage...

I’m just throwing out possibilities. The garage door controller being bad is possible, since @AlignTrex mentioned random opening was a known issue with Liftmaster/MyQ. A google search shows some users complain about a faulty wall control switch and vibrations causing the garage door to open...
