    Spare tire

    YES YES and YES. Even if all the stuff in the car OEM was correct, how do you know its all there, correct and you can use it. Would you not rather learn how to use the jack, spanner, lug nuts and spare in a nice warm garage. OR on the side of the interstate in the freezing rain. Friend called...

    Spare tire

    M14x1.5 is the threading. Common only on big SUVs and trucks.

    Cross Bar installation

    PLEASE let us know how it works out with the new crossbars. Is it really a new design or did they just add a torque wrench so you don't over torque, break the bolt and screw up the roof.

    Bike Mounts and Crossbars

    Also asking if any updates. Maybe there is another thread on this forum. Has a new model come out or was that wishful thinking? Luckily, two road bikes fit in the back with front wheels off, seats down, pedals off. And biking clothes are very light!

    21" Tire Dilemma - all seasons

    Exactly. Much lower cost, much better tires, much nicer looking wheels. I am a fan of the Michelin Pilot Alpin 5. My Lucid handles great in snow or 10 degree days

    Summer to Winter tire swapping

    Same on my Touring. Only 19 and 21. Fyi, I love the Lucid in our recent 2 foot snow storm with Michi Pilot Alpin 5s on 19" wheels.

    toll tags/rfid on windshield

    In Colorado, the EZ Pass transponder works fine under the rear view mirror module. Supposed to in lower left corner corner. Spoke to EZ Pass CS tech and he said put it anywhere on the windshield you want, outside the field of view. He said their tests have shown it will work on any "normal"...

    Tire Pressure Monitor

    Road & Track ran a great article recently: Tis the season for TPMS alarms to go off, with warm days and cold nights. In my experience, The 21s loose air a bit faster than 19s. And the 21s are not forgiving for under inflation.

    18-inch Wheels

    Judging that many 19" do not clear, I do not see much if any chance. I suggest you contact a wheel manufacturer, like Velox, that actually does a laser scan of each car's brake hub. Many people here have 19" winter set ups and love them. I would be very hesitant to use a wheel size that was...

    NEMA 14-50 Outlet vs. Home Charging Station: Which to Choose?

    Slightly different take than my brother from a different mother @DeaneG Basically, that is a good idea for wire but not the breaker. The breakers protect the wire and receptacle from catching fire. You can't future proof it. The breaker trip amperage must be the lower of the rating for...

    NEMA 14-50 Outlet vs. Home Charging Station: Which to Choose?

    I am as well, with a 14-50 plug at my vacation home and hardwired at residence in Denver. Both with ChargePoint EVSE's. They both work flawlessly. NOTE: I got both for free from the local utilities. As part of getting them, both must be connected to wifi so the utilities can monitor. For one...

    NEMA 14-50 Outlet vs. Home Charging Station: Which to Choose?

    Great advice. 14-30s are the electric dryer standard receptacle. Only 24 amps off charging. 14-50s are the standard for as stoves, ranges, mig welders, plasma torches. Can handle 40 amps. Installation cost the same, parts cost slightly more.

    Adding Third party Lucid purchase to app.

    Call Lucid CC first. Then Send CC a copy of the signed sales contract and copy of your driver's license. They also asked for typical info: address, email. Took about a day

    Lucid Combined Home Charging System Installation tips!

    That is truly impressive. Our next door neighbor in the Mountains just had a 50 amp outlet installed in their garage for a new VW EV. Sure enough, there was a $10 Leviton receptacle.

    Charging Beyond the Charge Limit

    Very normal. Someone on the forum explained months ago and it's a hoot. Your car stops charging at 80.0000% SOC. With any tiny tiny power use, the SOC on your car goes down to 79.9999%. And, your app and dash will then read 79%. No rounding up....
