Starting a new thread here on general repair costs that might come up. All just FYI. Case #1: Had a rock take out one of my front parking sensors and Lucid is pricing a new sensor at $600 plus tax which does not including painting it. My location (Twin Cities) is 400 miles from Chicago, so...

Good to know. Any issue with fit?

Anyone have an update on the better choice in Tesla Taps being suggested here? I note that @Tesla2.0 recommends the 50 amp, while @Bill55 posted the 80 amp mini.

I actually have the 3D Grey and they were great this past winter in Minnesota. I also prefer the look - much sleeker and I think they match the Air's modern esthetic. I switched back to the regular OEM mats for the summer, but happy with the 3D's. Match the Grey Grand Touring perfectly.

I can attest to the accuracy of the estimated range, too. On a recent trip (before the new 2.1.3 update) to the Boundary Waters in Minnesota where there are few (and far between) charging options, I was paying close attention to the estimated mileage and found it spot on. This was while driving...

And for those who want the easy entry due to mobility (ie, need hip surgery), ask your doc to give you some extra length - got both hips done and mine took away an inch instead - ticked I didn’t know he could make me longer!

I feel a Randy Newman song coming…

Quick answer: They just confirmed a visit will be needed.

Back to the update info… After updating I noticed the easy entry is greyed out - was hoping the delay in pushing it out meant that a mobile visit to calibrate the seats wouldn’t be needed, but just contacted CS to find out.

Software update in progress...

Not a tire guy, but the 19" rims for winter tires I got seemed fine, and there was no charge by Lucid for the TPMS calibration after the fact. Lucid did this in the winter (when other service was scheduled), and this spring, when I put the original 19" all season tires / rims back on. Not sure...

When I switched to new 19" winter tires and rims (both non-OEM) and then back to the original 19"'s, Lucid needed to reset the TPMS via mobile service. No problem in both cases.

Simplistic answer is that you are paying something of value to get something of value. You determine if it is worth it or not. The lease offer allows you to walk away from the car in 3 years (at whatever cost it is), without risk of dealing with unknown depreciation of the car (or the company)...

Quick update on the service for my recall. Car picked up from Twin Cities (MN) with no fuss on a schedule that worked for me (as I was only in town on certain days), and delivered back from Goose Island within a short window of availability (same reason) with great communication by the service...

Sure thing...I don't think the TPMS is critical if you just check on your own occasionally, and the Lucid service van has made a number of trips out here for our fellow TC owners so will take care of it. Sensors were part of the tire package via Tire Rack (which offers other winter tire options...
