I have a slim magsafe wallet attached to my phone. One can also just a carry a regular wallet and throw the keycard in there instead of carrying yet another item in the form of a fob. The app can open the frunk and trunk as well, so I really don't see a need for a fob in any scenario where PAAK...

Rivian and Tesla offer other options like using your watch to open the vehicle. Rivian used to offer a wristband and Tesla even lets you use certain smart rings as well. Plenty of ways to open a car besides a bulky key fob whose whole purpose is just that. Valets don't love it, but most know...

I literally LOL'ed at this haha

Convinced @socktucker lives in Area 51 or some other government testing ground. The stuff that happens to him can only be best be rationalized to be aliens. Anything else would be too farfetched.

I work literally down the street from the Roswell service center and often take people to go do test drives who are curious. Last time I was there, they seemed full of vehicles waiting to be serviced and I only saw one or two tech guys walking around. Everyone was friendly enough as usual but...

Seen any men in black around the property lately?

It was a nothing burger. A lot of words to say the stock is down for reasons we already knew about. What a waste of time.

And hard to see any other outcome than that, the Gravity should be the better family vehicle outside of FSD - assuming the software is not a sore spot. The Gravity is homerun on paper. Lucid just needs to line the bases (service, software, reliability and visibility) and hit the grand slam out...

Oh boy, FSD conversations. These are always respectful and level headed. Nothing to feel very strongly about... I'll chime in because we currently own a MY with the latest hardware. For what it is, (supervised) self driving, it is really good. It is a great tool for mundane driving like stop...

Agree. The first time I got in a car to drive at 16 I was terrified that the second I moved it from park, it started moving on its own. First time I drove an EV, it felt like a revelation. IMO a vehicle shouldn't move without any input. I know we all grew up in a world where that it is not the...

Completely get where you are coming from. We all have different opinions and that is totally fine. No right or wrong way, just preference. My concerns with safety goes to something like some EVs I've driven. Silverado EV could be put in 1PD, but it would creep in reverse, even in 1PD! That was...

Totally down to opinion, but kind of blows my mind that people still prefer to press on the brake and hold on to it. Even when I owned ICE vehicles, I used the HOLD function at red lights. 2PD has always seemed like more work. I'll always concede that regen was weird at first but intuitive after...

Funny you say that. Test drove a CTS-V recently as it has been on my radar for a while. Absolutely loved it. When thought about what other car felt similar, the Lucid Air came to mind. Outside of EV vs V8, not as ying and yang as one might think.

For me, the new Model Y Performance is both fun to drive and has FSD. It is my wife's though so personally I'd like a car that can also do both (why are these mutually exclusive?). The Rivian R2 and Gravity are on my shortlist for those reasons. I do not want a full on Robotaxi but autonomy is...

I have. It actually handles turns better than my dedicated sports car (BMW M240) and can blast out of it much quicker. I really enjoy driving it. I'm sorry you don't feel the same way, but hey, this is why we have options. FSD is good enough that I let it do its own thing. I'm never really...

Agreed. We had a Mach-E and while excellent in many ways, it's insistence on imitating ICE features was my main issue with the vehicle. Similar experience with an EV9. EVs and ICE vehicles are fundamentally different. Because it makes sense on one does not mean it does on the other. Cadillac is...

Something tells me neither of you have driven the new Model Y Performance. It is a ton of fun, not just in a straight line. To me, I generally do find the newer Teslas fun to drive due to them being lighter weight than most EVs, balanced ride, excellent throttle mapping and well calibrated...

Agreed. Not sure if this was part of your take - but I live in the area and where she drives and lives based off her videos are very easily identifiable places. I actually saw her walking around one time and was like wow, small world. But also, not really. I cannot believe how much people...

Not as an unpopular opinion as you might think. I believe there is a reason Rivian and Lucid are also chasing autonomy - they understand this. My wife was not a fan of Tesla until I booked a 2 hour demo for her and the response right after was "when do we order one?". It is not perfect, but very...

I completely agree and hope you are right.
