Could someone (if you can that is) please tell me if at WOT (wide open throttle) at 100% SOC (state of charge) how long the Lucid Air Sapphire produces it's maximum quoted horsepower and torque figures? I thought about this and if you accelerated to the cars top speed. Let’s say that is 240...

Sometimes changing to a different audio source then back to CarPlay works.

The Lucid 21 inch rims are pretty stout design. If you are damaging rims on the road you are hitting something serious. It’s a heavy car and it’s going to be hard on tires. I’ve been able to talk to one of the engineers on the team for the Michelins on the Sapphire and they are well aware of...

Tech talk on the Drive Unit Motor. The electric motor has a torque curve that is flat, but at some RPM it will start to drop. So the car is going to accelerate to a point where the torque is going down as the RPMs go up. Heat will be the enemy and at some point the car will reduce power to...

Yes, and the section of the @DeaneG post I quoted was about J1772 and Tesla Destination Chargers. Not CCS or Tesla Supercharger.

The BMW performance center at the Thermal club on the west coast or here in Greenville both have excellent program(s). Also, Porsche runs great program(s) at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham. Great instructors and no worries about driving your own car...

I have not had any issues with the Michelins and I'm driving roads with more pot holes than when I was in San Diego. I can't remember millage when I switched for sure, but I think I have ~4k miles on the Michelins.

Let me know when you can come by the shop in Greenville, SC. I get the referral if you buy one after driving. 😁

Yes, but adapters for J1772 to Tesla or Tesla destination chargers to J1772 are widely available. I've frequently found Teslas charging at J1772 and Teslas have found me charging at Tesla destination chargers.

I would bet that Lucid offers an adapter at the same time the Tesla network opens to Lucid Vehicles.

As they are for all practical purposes the same on the road, the extra range is nice and I didn’t want to put 2k+ highway miles on the Sapphire.

I20 between Tuscaloosa and Dallas is a bit of a charging desert. There are quite a few stations under construction so it should be easier by the end of the year. This trip would be a real pain with a 200 mile range EV. Not too bad with the Lucid. Notes from recent trip going East to West East...

EV range issues? I can barely go 100 miles on a full tank.

I’m sure I could call and get it pushed. This is unusually long in my experience. I’m ok waiting and see what happens.

Resistance is Futile.

I have always gotten e-mails and history for EA sessions. First road trip of 2024 coming up this week, so I will see if there is a change.

I got 52 on Sapphire. The DE is still on 47.

From 120V x 15 amps outlet charging is capped at 1.4kW. Depending on temperatures the vampire draw and loss while charging is about 600W. Charging rate of 0.8kW. With a 14-50 plug 240V at 50 Amps you can draw 9.6kW - 600w or 9kW. Your net is 11x faster. With the Lucid charger on a 100 amp...

Nice. I have the same mats in the Sapphire. Very happy with them.
