The above bolding is mine and a major reason I think car companies would be incentivized to go away from android auto/carplay. There is money to be made in the data that can be collected. Google is a 4 trillion company because of this exact reason (data collected about someone can be monetized)

The main difference here is the Legacy car manufacturer's have had decades to build out their franchise models with the service network and there are still independent service centers which are qualified to work on GM/Fiat/Dodge/... Lucid needs to figure out how to get the independents to be...

Things like brake fluid changes should be able to be done by a qualified mechanic and not have to go to a Lucid service center. Same with changing any filters (which I assume is fairly simple I would hope). This would free up the small Lucid service network to work on problems with cars which...

Actually here in California the HOV lane is NOT a passing lane. Some HOV lanes are HOV at all times and some are HOV only during certain hours but when the lanes are HOV they are not "passing lanes". In lots of places in Los Angles if you cop saw you randomly pull to the right to get out of...

Not sure I like this given the relative insecurity of Bluetooth. Lucid has already gone away from Bluetooth for the PAAK and is using UWB which is much more secure. Not sure if UWB could be used for things other than a remote key. Yet another reason not to only rely on your phone for...

In California many of the HOV lanes have entrance and exit areas for the HOV. i.e. you can't just move over into the HOV lane whenever the heck you want to.

in-laws don't get to drive the Gravity and they usually sit in the 2nd row. So this is perfect.

another data point: My father-in-law and my sisters brother both have android phones and the charging on the front row USBc ports on a Gravity Grand Touring is to put it mildly "shit". My wife and I both have iPhones and the charging is very quick. Was going to try the USBc ports on the back...

In Long Beach CA the TOU for 4:00pm-9:00pm is 59 cents per KWH. The rest of the day the cost is 26 cents. I think PG&E in northern CA is even higher, I'd have to look.

They allowed you to put 10.1KW of solar panels on a house whose maximum draw of 17.6KW (220V * 100A * .8)? Can't do that in PG&E land (aka Northern CA)

They do have to apply each update in sequence but that shouldn't be a problem once they kickstart the update for 3.6.3 (which will then allow the update to 3.6.4). @marqie is really good at helping out with this sort of thing.

I thought Aston Martin was owned by Lawrence Stroll. DId he sell?

$1140 in CA for a Gravity Grand Touring that has everything except the tech package and tow package.

This is interesting, as IIRC the only reason Tesla was making money in the mid 2010's was because Tesla was able to sell the ICE car makers Tesla's EV credits (they were actually called ZEV and GHG/CAFE credits, the first for California and the later is federal). See...

Nope, still higher. The bankruptcy rumor pushed the stock down to $2.37 so still got a ways to go.

I think they dropped more like $5B on LIV so more than they've dropped on LCID I think.

So does the Nuro equipment attach via the same spots as the roof rack?

I've not driven in 45F or below temps (Iive in a part of California where that doesn't happen much except late at night). Do you know the reason the regen would cease to function at low temperatures?

They are both in limited areas IIRC. In the bay area I haven't seen Waymo/Zoox outside of San Francisco (although I think they may be making their way down to the south bay and silly valley, I haven't seen either Zoox or Waymo anywhere in the San Francisco East Bay. So they've got a ways to go...

The main times I've seen regen being shut off or reduced is when the battery is at 97+%. I've not seen regen reduced at any other time. YMMV
