Ironically, I stopped for lunch in Millbrae after picking up my car for service; and got a ticket for no front plate (along with two Teslas parked on the same street). I got the license wrap, took it to my local CHP office where the officer initially refused to accept it. He had to check with...

Pure RWD w/ 19s. Lifetime (3,000 miles) is exactly 4.0 m/kwh. Mostly Bay Area freeway driving (avg. 70 mph). Efficiency was a big reason I went with the RWD Pure and 19" wheels.

Not sure if this belongs in another forum, but new EV owners should be required to take a charger-etiquette course. Often when all the chargers are full, I'll walk around to check charging status and find someone sitting in their car staring at their phone while their SOC is 85%-90%.

Pure RWD w/ 19" inch wheels owner here, I had a GT loaner for two months. Agree with just about everything from OP. I much prefer the handling and quiet cabin of the Pure over the GT. Yes the GT has eyeball-peeling acceleration, but for real world use the Pure has more HP than I'll ever need...

I'm just a simple country lawyer (NorCal), 40 years of practice makes me a noob! I'm six months into my Lucid experience--and absolutely love it!

Zenith Red rocks!

I subscribe to Consumer Reports, and very often make buying decisions based on its recommendations. For cars, I will definitely take CR ratings into account, but rely more on dedicated auto publications in purchasing decisions.I expect ratings will improve as more subscriber/Lucid owners...

Not sure if the EV charger network funding can be revoked via executive order, I thought those funds were allocated in legislation. Trump can rescind the Biden EO that opened the lease loophole in the $7,500 charging credit.

I was driving on Highway 1 between Monterey and Half Moon Bay this weekend, saw three!

I own a Pure with the base sound system, been driving a loaner with the Pro audio system for the last month. Bass player for 40+ years and 10-year senior editor of a home theater publication. The base system can be tuned to sound very good, BUT as others have noted is very sensitive to quality...

I believe newer production '25 Pure's come standard with the 360 cameras. My '24 Pure does not have cameras in the side mirrors, just plastic plug fittings.

I don't know exactly how the 360 image is created in DDP, but the DD base models lack cameras in the side view mirrors. I strongly suspect those cameras are needed to create the 360 image.

Not if the cameras aren't already installed. I have a late model '24 Pure with standard DD, and wrote Lucid customer service asking about retrofitting to include 360 cameras. They said no; the necessary hardware needed to be installed during production stage, and cannot be retrofitted.

I posted this chart in another thread. Through July 2024, 78.1% of Lucid transactions were leases. Other carmakers are seeing BEV lease rates above 90%.

I had the same warning. Turned out rodents had chewed through my wiring!:(
