    What is your lowest SOC?

    I wonder how many of those batteries would fit in my trunk and frunk? ;)

    EA Rant!

    There are Tesla to J1772 adapters (on Amazon of course), and Elon did say he was going to open up his charging network later this year, and I didn't hear him say any EV except for Lucid Airs. The techcrunch.com article said that the Tesla app would need to be installed on your cell phone in...

    110 V home charging only 2 mph

    Level 1 chargers, i.e. 120 VAC, are slow. I get 3 miles for each hour of charging on our Chevy Bolt. I have topped of the Air with the L1 charger after a short drive, but I have not estimated the actual miles recovered per hour of L1 charging time. On the other hand, the L1 charger may be a good...

    What is your lowest SOC?

    I've had my SOC down as low as 50 miles remaining. My wife, who likes to live on the edge, once had our Chevy Bolt down to 3 miles! :oops:

    A lot of factors contribute to EV range. One of the biggest is the style of driving. Drive with a lead foot, excessive sprinting, starts and stops, air conditioner running--these are range eaters. The estimated range is based upon ideal conditions. Temperature affects the range, e.g. if you live...

    My new sweet ride!

    It's time for a new definition of the word "elucidate" as in "Congratulations on your elucidation!"

    People with recent deliveries, how are things?

    I had a loose wire on my left turn signal. That was fixed within 24 hrs. Other than that the car has been performing very well aside from a few minor software annoyances. So far I'm loving it!

    People with recent deliveries, how are things?

    I experienced a loose connection on my left turn signal. It was fixed within 24 hours. Software had some hiccups at first, but it's been much better after the first couple over-the-air updates. Other than that, the car is spacious and comfortable, wickedly powerful, has head-turning good looks...

    Who has a car that has pretty much worked flawlessly?

    I'm coming up on 1K miles. The only problem I've had was a loose wire impacting my left turn signal. The car's diagnostics alerted me immediately and the fix was done at Goose Island in one day. Other than that the car has been great. Mind you, I've yet to explore its more advanced features such...

    Things you wished you asked on delivery...

    Be careful with that launch mode. You don't want to permanently indent the driver's seat with your body profile on the first day, do you? But seriously, have fun!

    Fan noise when charging

    My Chevy Bolt just has a solenoid click when I attach my home L2 charger. The Air, on the other hand, has some fans going. It is supposed to have some enhancements that speed up its charging, or so they say. I managed to find an Electrify America L3 charging station with an open (and...

    Lucid’s Complete Stoppage of All Customer Delivery’s….What Do You Think?

    I've got to think growing a business like Lucid while a pandemic ravages the world's supply chains ain't so hard. Case in point, I got my car. But seriously, I would've waited at least another year if I had to. Yet somehow, for once in my life all the stars and planets aligned, and I managed to...

    Air's Delivered After June 15th Issues?

    They took my vehicle to Goose Island, fixed left blinker issue overnight, and brought it back the next morning.

    How many times has your car been in for service?

    First service today. Left turn signal malfunctioned. A rep took the vehicle to the Goose Island service center this morning. I didn't realize that one could experience Lucid Air withdrawal symptoms, but I'm Jonesing now.
