Thank you for your perspective. I did not know anything about the BMW until I saw your post, as I have been quite happy with my AGT for 2.5 years. The BMW i4M50 looks phenomenal at a bit more than half the price I paid for my AGT in 2022, fully optioned, is a value (to the extent that luxury...

Lately my auto door opening is disabled. This is because I was too close to the car in the garage and it repeatedly opened so it automatically disabled to save the battery. I do not know how to reactivate it. Not the end of the world, just a bit annoying. Otherwise the only annoying consistent...

Thanks for the mention, but the motor whine is not gone. As I said, it seems less than pre-OTA, but maybe that is wishful thinking. Maybe Lucid has some decibel readings pre and post in a controlled test. Range has improved, and DA is confidence-inspiring, although I always kept two hands on the...

Get a lug wrench. Be aware that ground clearance with normal tire pressure is low, and with a flat tire is too low to fit a jack under the car. You will need an air pump to inflate the flat until you can place the jack. I got a compact rechargeable air pump for $40 at Costco. It fits in the...

I do not subscribe to CR. I am not sure that its utility for consumers has kept pace with information available in a simple cost-free search for timely information. I will not rate the CR methodology and cannot address its review. I will assume that it is perfectly objective in its choices of...

That was my first impression after the update yesterday. HA is also smoother, and based on only about 50 miles of highway driving, the efficiency is a bit better. I noticed that in a straight and level stretch of interstate in moderate rain, the voluminous spray from an 18-wheeler's trailer...

Photos of all four wheels please. How much do you want? How many miles on the tires and have any been repaired?

It has randomly intruded annoyingly and embarrassingly, responding to a passenger's voice. I must turn it off.

I had the same experience after accelerating beyond the speed limit and overriding Drive Assist. I was passing a slow moving group and wanted to do so quickly. I do not recall the speed at which it disengaged but as we know the speed comes on very fast with all the torque. Next time I feel the...

I am sorry to learn of the difficulties some have had obtaining satisfactory service. I have not seen a decline in service quality. My experience over two and a half years with service centers and customer service is that they have been responsive and courteous. QC at the factory could have been...

Gravity is super impressive and a desirable vehicle for most. I have not watched the entire video, but his comments that are very critical of the Air draw a clear distinction with Gravity. We are not in a perfect world, and the advances with the Air are amazing for me as a car enthusiast owner...

$0.11 kWh is fantastic. I pay $0.15/kWh in VA. According to my research, the EA member rate is $0.31 per kWh plus a $4 monthly fee. It is on par with ICE gas consumption at 30 mpg. I'm not sure that many 5200 pound sedans get 30 mpg, though, so it is not comparable. I assume that, except in some...

Impressive efficiency at 4.49 mi/kWh. What are the upgrades that account for the improvement in efficiency over earlier AGTs? And yes, in every respect the AGT is a superior sedan.

He represented Lucid very well. Too bad the interviewer did not ask more questions about Gravity. I am a bit surprised that only 50% of the Gravity orders are from Tesla owners, but it is encouraging that 75% of the orders are from non-Lucid owners. It would have been good if he had cited the...

How will the tariffs benefit US consumers now or in the long term? Will they be a powerful incentive for manufacturers to build plants here and source all components domestically? The last time tariffs were this high in the US was in the early 1930s. You do not have to be an economist to know...
