I think it will become more and more difficult to run an EV like the Sapphire, stock, in controlled environments. Places where you can do a 200mph run want a cage, certified seat, and 6 point harness for speeds over 175mph. It is a discussion with tracks and event insurers at every venue if they...

171 is pretty stout. I've got video of 169 for the Sapphire. 😁 We will see where we have a chance to run this year, maybe we can set a new number for 2024.

I think Lucid allowing more customization of settings in general would lead to much higher customer satisfaction. Everyone is familiar with iOS or Android. Why is there so little customization? That is what a touch screen is for. We have an iPad sized touch screen and almost no ability to...

I've hit 185+ mph in an M6 grand coupe on the autobahn.

Great pictures. Went through Sedona the day after driving through Jerome and staying in Cottonwood. Charged at a Tesla destination charger at a Spring Hill Suites. For those in doubt, don't be afraid to use a Tesla tap. The Saphire went by truck from Sonoma to SC. Since then Austin is as far...

So many questions that could be answered by a real time energy use display option.

I have a good friend who is going to buy a Gravity to replace a minivan. I'm looking forward to it. I'm not sure I have a use case for the Gravity. Now if Lucid offered a nice trade in deal for the DE, I could be persuaded. I'm keeping the Sapphire.

Late to the party here. If you are comparing cars, drop reaction time that's comparing drivers. Stock to Stock, once you start the mods there is no end point. Buying the Sapphire to be a track car, you would be very disappointed in the number of laps your going to get at a track day...

uploaded a more polished video from COTA. One session on same tires I drove to and from Texas from South Carolina.

I would agree the car you have is plenty. A good friend of mine is going to replace his Odyssey with a Gravity. Also seems like a great choice. The Sapphire is a much better car than the Plaid, but acceleration wise, it's pretty close, so you have already experienced it. I do like the...

The Earths climate also doesn't car if it supports Homo sapiens or not.

My wife enjoys the Lucid, but the few charging issues we have had make her nervous to take it on her own if a charge is required. Her next car will probably be a plug in hybrid. The one after that will almost certainly be an EV. Framing your experience as an EV is not for you at this time is...

I had planned to sell the DE when I got the Sapphire. The market is soft and the DE is worth more to me than I could sell it for. I am thinking of getting a set of 19" rims so the DE can handle road trips with more inclement road conditions.

The Sapphire only weighs 200lbs more than the DE. I can guarantee it is not a step backward. The handling is significantly improved as is traction control. The steering is also significantly better in feel and response. On the highway aside from a little more tire noise the two cars are...

I would say GM super cruise is industry leading. Lucid adaptive cruise is pretty good, to me ACC requires way too much steering input to prove you have hands on wheel, lane centering is ok, but in my experience super cruise is better.

It would be nice if the car had a Valet mode you could choose from the pilot panel. The fob still leaves Valet(s) confused. I would pay dearly for a decent fob. The fob should be able to be used by anyone, and the basic functions of the car should be understandable to anyone who drives many...

If you have auto lock set to “on” the car should go to sleep. I really wish they would implement a second press of the park button to put the car to sleep, so you could leave unlocked and yet let the car know you want It to sleep.

Easy to remove if you don’t like them. I removed mine, took about 2 minutes. The DE did not have them. Or at least mine did not. Not sure when they started applying the bears.

If you want to wait to buy Lucid 100 amp charger later, you could run the wire for a 100amp now with a 50 amp breaker and a 14-50 plug. When you buy the 100 amp you can change out the breaker to 100 and do any other required work then.

Over 2 years of updates at this point. I have had an update before anyone posted anything on the forum and I have an update 2 weeks after something first posted here.
