I believe the OP was referring to transportation costs from a location without a service center to the nearest service center which might be hundreds of miles away. AAA or other local towing companies won't resolve that issue.

Very true because the luxury cars have way more features and cutting edge technology. That means more things to go wrong and more confusion when they do.

If you are going to post a picture you should at least include the 0-60 and quarter mile times!

You can avoid Arizona transaction privilege tax: 90-Day Non-Resident (Drive Out) Permit A 90-Day Nonresident (Drive Out) Permit allows a person to drive their newly purchased vehicle out of Arizona for registration in another state. You will be required to show your out-of-state identification...

Jaguar once had that reputation. But it then decided to compete in the general luxury market against BMW, MB, Audi, Lexus, Cadillac, etc. My question is whether it is possible to go back up once one has decided to go down even if that "down" is a luxury marque.

I think that may be true at the mainstream level but I don't see that at the luxury level. MB drivers tend to stay with MB; the same for BMW or Cadillac or Lexus. When people change it is often because the car company changed. I was a BMW driver until the company's designer went crazy with...

Its only a vehicle. No reason to get angry. :D

It is all part of the awful trend toward "minimalism". It's cheaper to put all the controls in the info system but, IMHO, no car pretending to be a luxury car should be following this trend.

Yup. Your behavior might have cost you as much as one mile in your estimated total battery life of at least 100,000 miles. Shocking.

The neaue klasse sedan that BMW shows on its web site is finally good looking (the SUV on the other hand looks awful). So the new sedan could be a possible choice for me as well. Come on Lucid: how hard can it be to offer some optional upgrades on the new midsized model and power as well. My...

CR's reliability ratings are based on customer surveys. That means that the CR base of Lucid subscribers are the ones who gave it such a low rating. BUT... The ratings don't ask about how important or how often a particular glitch can occur. So a Lucid owner reporting a software problem...

Nice thoughtful comment. There are three basic requirements for tires: life (range); performance; noise. They all tend to be in opposition to each other. Best performance tires tend to be noisier and have a shorter life than tires that are aimed at range or noise. Etc. Each of us has to...

The highway trust fund is funded by tax on gasoline. We, EV users, don't use gasoline. But we do drive on the roads and help them wear down. I think it is reasonable for us EV drivers to pay an equivalent fee. Whether that is $250 I don't know. But I hope the bill is based on what I just...

ChapmanLucidGT: did you buy the car new or used? If the latter from Lucid or from another seller? I am wondering if you bought someone else's problem car (every car company has at least a few of these)?

Welcome. I see lots of Lucids these days around Scottsdale. Interesting post. I just asked Google's AI what it costs to drive the 2400 miles if electricity is 20 cents per kilowatt hour and the car average 4 miles per kilowatt hour. It came to $120. i asked a similar question on an ICE...
