Hoping they're doing a better job of assembling them in the first place, hence less need for PDI!

I received my Grey/Tahoe GT VIN on July 1. Yesterday (July 14), my DA told me my car is complete, and should ship out to Riviera Beach, FL imminently. There's a good chance the service center will receive it by next Friday (July 22). This is not a cancelled car; it's new production. So...

I'm in east central Florida (New Smyrna Beach), and, as I posted above, my quotes from GEICO, State Form, Progressive, and eSurance were in the approximate range of $1200 to $1600 per year. I'd recommend you check around more.

I'm shopping for insurance, and my local agent gave me a quote from Travelers. The rate was pretty good, until I noticed they identified the car as a Lada, not a Lucid!

I know!!!

So, what setting did you use with the Lucid's tone control(s)? 32Hz to 21 kHz. What a piker!:) I've got two Definitive Technology Trinity subwoofers in my home system. Sub-20Hz bass is a piece of cake!:) You really are going to force me into a Room Equalization Wizard setup for my Mac.

Now that you've tested the audio system's frequency response in your own car, did you try to boost the bass with the car's tone controls to see if you could flatten the bass response? I was wondering if a certain level of adjustment worked well or were the turnover frequencies in the wrong...

I drove a pre-production Air GT with the 19-inch wheels at the West Palm Beach Studio and then, about 1-1/2 months later, a pre-production Air GT with the 21-inch wheels at the Miami Studio. I honestly didn't notice any ride deterioration issues with the 21-inch wheels. Of course, different...

I thought the standard swag for the peasants buying GTs was a tote bag, a cap, and a water bottle.

For those of us who don't have our cars yet, how do you reset the navigation display? Is it using the total reset procedure for the car? Thanks.

Maybe that was part of your younger days. I'm jealous.

My girlfriend's Mazda CX-5 has auto wipers that stay in the "auto" state all the time. She really likes that feature, in that she basically never has to think about starting or stopping the wipers. My car, on the other hand, does not have auto wipers. But, I don't know how many times I've...

I think they'll have to do it by January 1, 2023. My recollection is that EPA won't allow two "January 1's" in a given model year.

No.

Everyone has to make their own decisions, but I wouldn’t take delivery of a car with the wrong color combo. I’d go back in line and wait for the right one. I know myself, 6 months after accepting the wrong color combo I’d be angry with myself for not standing up for the color combo I’d...

I called the Riviera Beach service center this morning to see whether my car has arrived. I suggested it might be the first or one of the first Grey cars to arrive there. Sadly, I was told my car wasn’t there yet, but I was told they already had a couple of Grey cars there. So, Grey cars are...

Again, you're wrong. All vehicles that get fuel economy ratings, whether fueled by gasoline, diesel, or electrons, are tested on dynamometers. And all vehicles use coast down testing as part of the process of determining the load that the dynamometer places on the vehicle during each test...

I hate to correct you again, because I like to be a positive guy on the internet, but you are wrong. The aerodynamic drag of a vehicle is considered in the EPA dynamometer test. Typically, it is measured by "coasting down" a vehicle in neutral from highway speed to low speed (I believe from...

Yes, the EPA test is done on a dynamometer. However, aerodynamic drag definitely is considered. Estimated aerodynamic drag for a vehicle affects the load settings on the dynamometer.

Felipe is my DA, too. Really excellent. Literally every time I’ve called him he’s answered the phone. I’ve never had to wait for a callback. And he’s always been straightforward and easy to talk to.
