Turned a 2:26 about the same as a GT4 car on a better tire. Had we been able to run recon laps, charge, and put on sticker Michelins, we think there is a 2:23. It’s still complicated to get insurance and track approval for an EV. COTA and Max track time were great. Hoping to run Mid-O and/or...

It's so quiet even at 160. EV sound track is so tame.

The weather did not cooperate so we could only do a few laps on the same tires I used to drive the car to and from SC to TX. Some in car video as requested.

I did not try BT only to see if that improved things. Previously I have had people surprised I was in a car using CarPlay and before CarPlay, BT. While my patience has expired for improving home link, I have patience for this fix.

Pre conditioning can help get to max if charger can provide. My experience over 2 years and 27k miles. The car does pretty well without preconditioning. I am usually using CarPlay for navigation. I’ll pre condition when I remember, but it saves a few minutes. The caveat is I’m driving in...

Or 9/11 ?

I use to carry jumper cables in all my ice vehicles. I have almost exclusively used them to help others. Almost. I have had to ask for a jump in the past. Now I carry a capacitor based unit. With the capacitor based unit, unless the battery is 100% dead, you can provide yourself your own...

It would be nice if the Lucid Air reported what it is requesting from the charger and what it is getting. In general provide more information on charging and power consumption for those that want it. "Charging limited by charger" is something. Is that because the charger is providing 148 and...

My experience is also that the 150kWs work the first time more often than the 350s.

Attached is a charging test of a DE in optimal conditions in table format. IMO there is way too much focus on 350kW chargers. If you are at or above 40% a 350kW vs EA 150kW (175kW) is going to be less than a minute. From any lower state of charge the maximum time difference is going to be...

Do you live somewhere that it is impossible to charge Level 2? If I am within 100 miles of home, I’m not going to be stopping at EA.

Yes. I have a 427 60th anniversary convertible. Would love to add a 70th. I bought an early C7 Z06 for sticker. Current prices still above my limit.

Can I trade you my DE for the GN?

Right now I am looking for a C8 Z06 for a reasonable price. I want a Countach to drive a little, but more preserve and display. I sold a SL 65 AMG that I wish I had kept. EVs I want will be new models, ICE cars I want are pretty much all older models. I am planning to convert a 1993 BMW 850...

I frequently charge to ~85%. Usually about 4-5 minutes for 80 to 85%. I'll stop at 80 if anyone is waiting and go higher if the next stop has any uncertainty.

There certainly were some early buyers who hoped to flip their cars. I had a legitimate offer for my DE in December of 2021 for 225K. Some people find EVs are not for them. Lucid is still relatively unknown. Value is different for different people. There are some great deals out there for...

Here a few photos you might appreciate.

I am definitely not extrapolating. 2.9 miles kWh DE with 21s and no aero on wheels over 24,000 miles with vast majority being road trip 2.4 miles kWh Sapphire no aero on wheels over 3000 miles mostly road trip I make zero effort for efficiency and keep the cabin comfortable. Rarely use cruise...

After several trips and many thousands of miles with almost zero EA issues, my road trip from Texas to SC was not quite as smooth. First stop only 1 of 4 chargers working and there was a car charging and 1 waiting. Drove to a nearby Shell Charge. Listed as 160kW it maxed out at 82kW. Charged...

Pretty much every RV park has 14-50 plugs that are plugged and unplugged constantly. Many RVs pull full current just like an EV. Also, if you put a 14-50 plug in your garage and buy a plug in charger, it is going to be plugged in once, similar to a dryer. Then when you move you can easily...
