Perhaps. I suspect Tesla will always give their own vehicles a discount, but that's automatic and doesn't apply to us. I could maybe see the day when DCFC matures more toward the long-proven gasoline model (the same price for everyone). Gas has a few membership-like discounts sometimes too...

Plug & Charge is great, but sadly, I rarely get to use it. It doesn't work on Ionna yet (my #1 choice), and for both EA and SC, we road trip so much that it makes more sense to pay for the membership discounts to cut ~25% off the rates. We have to use the apps for that. I look forward to the...

That too, but I'm more thinking continued funding in general. This (hopefully temporary) squeeze on Saudi govt revenues is gonna cause some belt-tightening. That means looking at the whole list of spending priorities. I have no idea where they consider Lucid in their total spending priorities...

If they had any positive news to report they should absolutely be saying it. The problem is they may not have any. If that's the case, staying quiet may actually be the less damaging option.

Yep, they're truly stuck between a rock and a hard place right now, and looking very vulnerable. Despite their military build-up, they seem defenseless to stop enemy attacks that are crippling their lifeblood (oil production and transport). The attack from the north took their Red Sea pipeline...

Just realized I said CCS. That should have read J-1772.

I make heavy use of the Tesla website FIND US map, setting the filters for NACS Partner and Other EVs (and excluding Teslas). I save that page as an icon on my phone for quick reference. It's the most accurate and definitive way to tell...

I wanted to leave an adapter on my CCS EVSE in my garage but not risk forgetting to grab it on road trips, so I just ended up buying an additional one. They're only $40. https://a.co/d/0bzi1ru7

I continue to honor the prior commitment for total line of credit (they just drew down another $400M of it last week and have $400M remaining of that commitment), while monitoring progress and reassessing before deciding whether to commit to even more credit. Hopefully they will, but likely...

I talked myself into another 1000 shares today. Probably the last gasp chance. I figure it's probably 1 of 2 outcomes now: it's either heading to nothing (bankruptcy/buyout/private/etc), or they survive and go significantly higher. Just doesn't seem feasible for an automaker to flounder...

I'm not positive but I think I remember Service Scheduler being in the app all along.

Putting some of those unsold Gavitys to good use, I see. :cool: Seriously though, this is promising. ANY news on service improvements is promising. I hope it actually happens.

Mid 3's now. 😞

They stop blinking when charging stops, but there's typically a little time after that before the latch unlocks.

After 5 years of only using CCS ports which connect firmly and tightly to the car's port, it's a bit unnerving to use NACS which feels loose and shallow. Always feels like it's just gonna slip out, especially with the bulky adapter and heavy CCS cable hanging off it. I know it probably won't...

I've been saying this for 5 years. When it's perfect enough to not need a steering wheel, then fine. I'll happily ride in those robotaxis. But supervised means it's not good enough to trust it to steer itself. And "supervision" is usually a joke. To properly supervise self-steering, you...

That's the way it feels to me too, that it's applying regen to keep jerking you back a little. The regen is SO strong on this car that even applying a short blip of it makes you really feel it. It's similar to the annoyance of trying to match speed when dropping out of ACC. If you don't get...

Of course, as long as you just leave the key far enough away, you don't need to mess with a Faraday pouch. All the pouch does is block the signal so it's not communicating with the car, but distance does the same thing. For me that's only about 15 feet away inside the door to my garage. I just...

I use ACC 98% of the time on the highway. Above 70 MPH it's nice and smooth. But between 60-70 it's slightly but consistently jerky. Not enough to actually change the speed a full 1 MPH, but I can feel the car fighting itself to keep a constant speed. And I can see the power meter...
