Yes. At least in the US, a huge proportion of folks want their own personal vehicle, or two or three or more. I am a one car family but even though I believe in saving the environment (and drive an electric car) I would find it hard to completely give up my vehicle and I live where there is a...

I think it is still appropriate to call the Gravity pricy or expensive. But it is similarly appropriate to call the GMs the same. The Gravity is competing in a luxury SUV space.

Given that Tesla is going mainstream only (3 and Y), I can understand that. it is like Chevy or Ford sending you to Enterprise for a rental while your vehicle is in for service. The S & X, on the other hand, were selling as luxury cars and IMO luxury car sellers must provide loaners. But there...

I went through something like this with cable tv. My system had broken and I had an appointment for a Sunday afternoon after 4 PM. I waited around and no one showed up. Finally I called and they told me that their system showed I had cancelled the visit. I had not and it was obvious to me...

If one lives in an area with lots of blackout, V2H makes sense (although a separate generator might make more sense). If one very rarely has blackouts, then V2H might be excessive as it is expensive to automate the switch between power sources. V2L is a decent compromise to let one keep...

Lucid is selling a luxury vehicle at luxury prices. Luxury dealers provide loaners. I was a BMW owner for many years and never had a problem getting a loaner. If I needed service, I simply called and they would say come on in and we will have a loaner for you. During the pandemic, when it...

I went to the website and looked at the photos. It appears that there are very few buttons and those that there are are haptic. No for me. I don't have to go any farther. It is not a frigging Iphone; it is a car.

We all have our biases and features that we think are absolutely necessary and some that are desireable. We also have features we are convinced we don't want. Some of our feelings are stronger than others. For example, I want real buttons and switches for anything that I might want to use...

Clearly, someone is misrepresenting the truth. Either someone in the return process took the fob or it was so messy that they lost it. Either way, the company has lost its right to claim any faults were not caused by it or its representatives. To quote Winston Churchill: "We shall fight on...

Most EVs have these kind of door handles and permit the car to remain unlocked when in the garage. I don't see how the fact that the handles are electric mandates that the car lock itself.

Ford Mach-E? Genesis GV60? Hyundai Ionic 5? Kia EV6? Etc. There is a lot of competition in that space.

No we are not. We are criticizing Lucid for stopping the sacking at the lower levels instead of starting at the top.

I agree but it should start at the top. Where was he when it was being developed? It is not like the software for the Air was perfect so he could rightfully assume it was under control. I don't see how the CEO can let the Gravity go without knowing how good or bad the software was. If heads...

Corporations who insist on telephone rather than texts or emails are usually trying to avoid leaving a paper trail. Not a good sign.

Laws like these are great until the insurers figure out a way to claim that the damage does not fall under the cited provisions. They could try to claim that the driver was following too closely so he contributed to the accident. Will they prevail if it were litigated: probably not. But...

My prior BMW 5 series had the physical key inside the fob.

This is the kind of adjustment that should never have been on the info screen. The mirror adjustments, including tilting, should be a separate control (in most cars a knob that turns and pushes). Anything that we might want to use while driving should be a separate control and NOT a haptic...

As 360 cameras become more prevalent more and more drivers are using the cameras to back up into parking spaces, do parallel parking, etc. So staring at the screen while parking is common. If you don't believe me, just park in a store parking lot and watch for a while.

You left out the Genesis GV60 which is CR's highest rated SUV and the somewhat similar Porsche Macan Electric.

I also don't own one but I was on the waiting list for a Pure for a couple of years and gave up when they released the specs of the AWD version but not the RWD version. I then got a Genesis GV60P which I love. I prefer a smaller car while still getting luxury and performance. That is hard to...
