Coolidge is about 30 minutes and 20 miles away from Casa Grande. So it gives Lucid a fairly cheap way to expand.

Mercedes Benz R Klasse.

That is a good point so long as the arrangement provides a reasonably equivalent loaner.

Alas, that is true of all car forums.

Tires make a huge road noise difference. My Genesis came with Michelin Primacy Tour All Season tires. I wanted ultraperformance summer tires so I changed all four out for Michelin Pilot Sport 4S HL rated tires. Now my car sticks to the road way better BUT the road noise is also way more. I...

Do you have AC as well? If you do, heat pumps could replace both so instead of four machines, you will have two (a heat pump for each level).

I do also. The keycard serves as a backup if your phone suddenly failed, you lost it, it was stolen, dropped, etc. Not a big deal but one less thing to carry in one's pocket.

Or...if a power outage is localized one could use V2H and then leave at a good time and go to a fast charger and reload. Whether V2H is a better choice than doing nothing, doing something (like V2L for refrigerator, etc.) or putting in a generator system is a different question.

I was hoping that Lucid would treat the midsized car the way BMW treats the 5 series: a basic model, a more upscale model with better interior options, and a lux model that includes the excellent interior, the power, the handling, etc. The price variant between a basic and the top of the line...

This is an interesting thread. I think it demonstrates that every good car company (e.g., Lucid and BMW) can produce cars that seem to never break down or ones that spend lots of time in the service bays. In this thread we have Lucid drivers saying their cars never break and some saying that...

Me too. I went from a 2007 Prius to a 2011 Prius to two BMW PHEVs and now to a full EV GV60P. My hot water heater is a heat pump and I pay my power company to use green power for my house. But I am lately thinking it is a hopeless battle.

If you don't need the added space of an SUV, and don't have a problem getting in and out of a sedan, keep the Air. The Air will always handle better than an SUV and way better than the (ugh) Tesla.

Not everyone can afford a Lucid. IMO the Ionic 6 provides a quality mainstream EV sedan at a reasonable price for someone looking for a sedan. The EV choices are few and far between at the mainstream level: Ford, GM, Dodge, Toyota, Honda, and Nissan currently have no sedan EVs. The few that...

Not often but I do sometimes see a Prius driving quickly and keeping pace in the fast lane (which typically means at least 75). But it is rare. on the other hand, I have seen folks driving corvettes, Tesla Plaids, BMW 550s, etc. driving slowly in the left lane. Actually, I am more concerned...
