Isn't the hardware between the GT and DE the same (i.e. same motors, same battery packs)? If so, and we were talking ICE vehicles, we'd be discussing "engine tunes" to improve the performance. I suspect (but don't know) that Lucid is more gently applying the power at the start than is...

In case you don't already know this, if you are close to 100% charged, it will often disable regen. This can come as a bit of a surprise if you are used to one pedal driving.

Is it ceramic tint?

Maybe this is auto industry speak as opposed to audio industry speak? A door panel speaker that has both a tweeter and a midrange driver referred to as two speakers in the auto world while in the audio world referred to as a single speaker with two drivers? Does it add up to 21 if you count...

I can understand your frustration. Sadly, there's probably not an answer or action that is possible at this time that's going to sooth the frustration. Hopefully once production starts really ramping up, it will make sense for Lucid to enter the UK and other right-hand-drive markets.

It only cost me something like $20 per wheel to buy the inserts and bolt covers from the service center. They also installed them right there. I'm not sure it's worth the effort and potentially damaging the full insert.

Just do an aftermarket one. I've installed a Wolfbox mirror on my Grenadier (because the view is blocked by all the stuff I have in it) and my son's Titan (because the tint it has is so dark the mirror barely sees anything). They both have the added advantage of also being a three-channel...

I would think that if the aftermarket tint is legal (i.e. not too dark) and professionally installed (i.e. no bubbles, gaps, etc.) that they wouldn't care. It probably actually slightly increases the resellability of the vehicle.

I'm not following all this anxiety over lack of a Lucid provided extended warranty. If you exclude "fit and finish" types of repairs (which presumably would have been rectified by the time the base warranty expires), and you exclude powertrain and battery (covered by the longer 8-year 100K...

It's probably not too late to make a claim to your insurance company for that windshield. It's worth a try.

My personal limiting factor is ~210 miles (3 hours of driving) which is bladder limited. Regardless of what car I am in, between me and my wife, one of us needs to use the bathroom no less frequently than once every three hours. So, the key to me is how much range can I get for a 10-15min...

Interesting video. I wonder how those two different charging strategies impact battery life. Is Porsche sacrificing longevity?

It was great seeing everyone. Sorry I didn't see the invitation to your shop before now, but your Air looks fantastic!! 103F on the first half of April was brutal!

What's a closer comparison, skinny road-bicycle tires or off-roading jeep style tires? Your guess is as good as mine. I'm inclined to think that overinflating the Lucid 21 tires may be better for protecting the wheels, but more likely to damage the tires. But going with slightly lower...

I suspect that over inflating would actually make the issue worse. The tires are stiffer and will have less flex. Particularly since you are talking cold PSI. The rule of thumb is that for every 10 degrees of Fahrenheit the tires warm up, it will add another PSI to the internal air pressure...
