I have an identical car model year 2025 that I picked up this past March. I thought my deal was the best but yours beats mine by a little bit. Enjoy the car.

Hey Amster, I have not been on the forum pages for a while. Good to see your post but beauty is in the eye of the beholder :)

Welcome. IMO, Cosmos Silver and Fathom Blue with Mojave leather in stealth are the best color combos. Quantum Grey with Tahoe leather also looks excellent. I am in Southern Cal but have taken the car to the mountains with summer tires in cold weather. I know it is not recommended but I did not...

Congrats on your new best EV.

Welcome to the forum. I've also been enjoying my '25 AT since this past March. Amazing ride and the best bank for the buck.

In my opinion, it does not make a whole lot of sense to buy accessories from Lucid store using points if you are to pay taxes on them. We discussed this with Borski before, my thought was that you can purchase most (but not all) accessory items outside Lucid for a lot less (the outside cash...

This is not bad at all because the hole is not on the side of the tire, I have never bought into the paradigm of replacing an EV tire merely because it is flat. You can easily repair it and save the dough. Just ask the shop to do a cold vulcanization or a chemical cure process to repair your...

I have an AT Phathom Blue stealth with 20" tires. I live in OC and occasionally drive the same route as the one you reported. With A/C off and speeds under 75, I constantly get numbers north of 4 m/kwh there. If l really control my speed, the numbers get closer to 4.5. Tried but never get to 5...

That's still good news. How can we verify at what point threshold Lucid sends 1099-MISC forms?

I was comparing against cash prices OUTSIDE Lucid store. For example, I bought snow socks and portable tire inflator from Amazon at a fraction of the cost at Lucid store. https://a.co/d/2aqSrqf https://a.co/d/ct3yOWr Few months ago, Amazon also had roof rack cross bars and ski roof rack mounts...

The point I was trying to make was that if your effective tax rate on using referral points exceeds the price of those same items outside Lucid store, it does not make sense to use points. Of course, there may be items that you absolutely need and cannot find outside Lucid store. In those cases...

Referral points are reported to IRS by Lucid and taxed when 1) they are redeemed and 2) the redemption value exceeds $600, (every 8 redeemed points account for $1). That has been covered on the forum several times. Read thread 'Docusign tax related received from Lucid'...

You might want to do the income tax math beyond using 4800 annual points first. Compared to the item prices outside Lucid store, using more than 4800 tax free points annually does not make much sense to me. Just a financial trade off to be aware of.

True dat. I constantly get over 4 miles/kwh when driving alone within a speed range of 65-75 mph on 20" tires with A/C off.

No matter what the route has consisted of and at what speeds the car has been driven, 749 miles on a single charge is a big deal.
