Is it not an option to go with your own insurance rather than dealing with the other party insurance? You are not their customer so I don't expect them to serve you very well. Ideally, if you have enough coverage, you may go with your own claim and let your insurance deal with the other party's...

I think it will create a lot of chaos if they start offering negotiation on the lease and it may not be in the best interest of the bank either. The negotiation may require bank's involvement too. But, yea noone is going to buy a car that's worth 50k for 75k. If they are sending it for auction...

A dashcam is a better solution.

The roads are pretty bad after every rain in SD. This is why I don't take my Lucid for couple of days during or after rain. I take my SUV to assess the road condition along my commute and then prepare for the next day. For a pretty bad one, I reported it to the city for repair, they did some...

Whenever there are disruptions, people react and there will be short term consequences. Over time, people will get used to this. Or, something else will come up and they will all go behind that. At least in the short term, I hope this will be useful for other EV brands to catch attention, and...

Rivian bought an existing plant. Lucid started out from zero

Received mine too, and started adding to my tax return. H&R block software is asking me whether this is a prize or award. I am a bit unsure. Does anyone have any idea?

I wish that Lucid vehicles get the comma open pilot support. There seems to be some good progress in supporting Rivian recently. It will be amazing if Lucid also gets it somehow. If I am not wrong, openpilot support can even enable the vehicles with base DD to be able to do lane-centering.

Now that we are discussing the keyboard, I have a minor inconvenience that I hope Lucid can fix in any future update. If I have something in the cup holders, it's very difficult to type. If it was a floating keyboard that I can move around the screen, that will be perfect.

This article seems to be from an old press release from 2020. I think only a single trim existed during those times? Anyways, it's usually followed by all automakers in advertising their best numbers and features as if it's a standard feature, but only available in top trim. It's misleading...

I agree that people are often comparing with ICE cars for 'filling up'. However, unlike many folks who travel between cities, my road trips are almost always to national parks or similar places. That means I will need to charge to 80% or beyond to keep enough buffer for driving around. And, then...

That's really bad. Just FYI for anyone who wanted to try this in California. The state allows sales tax exemption when you do a lease buyout if your intention is to resell the vehicle. But, you have to do this within 10 days of receiving the title, and the vehicle should not have been used for...

I was closely watching their financials and wondered about this too. Based on what I see from their vehicle and events, they are probably doing a massive brand awareness campaign so they will be in good shape when their R2/R3 are out on the market. I don't know if it will work as expected, or...

This. I used this website called Pirateship which costs cheaper but still be using UPS. Shipping the Lucid charger costs about $30. I used this service twice. Once for Lucid charger, and another time for Tesla connector.

I am more worried about how this affects the charging infra rather than tax credits on leases/purchases. Infra is possibly a big reason for the seemingly saturated EV market at present in the US. I suppose the IRA had some good funding towards charging infra. I am not sure if flow of those funds...
