I stumbled across this video: Apparently the Bowlus people pre-ordered a GGT in 2025, and they posted this video as a mini-review/marketing video. They report 2.1 m/kWh, for about a 250 mile range when towing one of their Endless Highway models. That seems to align with what has been...

Considering the way they're running their service operation, an extended warranty would be either a huge money loser for them, or else so expensive that few would buy it. Just the loaner car costs are adding up to absurd amounts, what with the weeks of time vehicles sit ignored at service...

Seems like great owner feedback. If you're not already aware, you should email it to [email protected].

Sorry, your opinions on the subject just aren't credible. I'm going to follow the advice about not feeding the trolls and set ignore for your account.

LIDAR provides a usefully different set of sensor data, but sensing is not the difficult problem in autonomous driving. Software that can make sensible driving decisions is the hard part. I don't know why Volvo abandoned it, but Volvo isn't known for being a serious player in autonomous...

I'd be very caution about taking advantage of that 900mm fording capacity. Back in my Jeep days, I saw more than one person think that a snorkel mod enabled them to go into deep water, and watched them get swept aside by the mass of that much water.

As near as I can tell, Lucid has published nothing about a wading depth or the battery (and other low mounted electronics) being sealed against water submersion. Given their silence on the matter, I wouldn't worry about heavy water splashing, but I wouldn't drive it through anything deep enough...

I'm going to quibble with that a little. EVs have been attractive to buy for people with a parking space where they can home charge, and those people are going to care more about highway range. But if we want to see EV adoption continuing to expand, there are going to be more and more people...

Yeah, I'm like you and value range over the aesthetics of large wheels. So I also like to see a range test with the more efficient wheels. But of course a lot of people seem to want the large wheels, since that's what they're going to buy.

It's remarkable the way some Tesla enthusiasts (maybe I should restate that as FSD enthusiasts) seem to struggle so mightily against the cognitive dissonance of Waymo successfully deploying autonomous vehicles much more broadly than Tesla while simultaneously believing that Tesla is...

I believe the highest EPA rating for the Touring is 337 miles (you need to select the 20/21 wheels). At 80 MPH, I don't know that you'd get 250 miles, especially in a Polish winter. From my experience in Poland, I'm assuming the route gets quite cold at that time of year. And you have to...

I see that Car and Driver has published a BMW iX3 75 MPH highway range test. They report getting 330 miles out of it, versus the EPA range of 392. There's been a lot of doom and gloomy here about Lucid somehow standing apart from their competition and misleading consumers about range. But it...

The technology continues to evolve, so those who want the latest and greatest will need to regularly upgrade. But EVs have proven to be much more durable than the doubters thought would be the case, and are definitely not disposable.

I don't mind the Jaguar. It takes a stand, rather than the bland offend-no-one style adopted by so many cars. While I don't love it, I also don't hate it. The looks wouldn't prevent me from buying one if I decided that it checked the boxes in other respects.

I bought used cars until the 90's, so I don't have experience with dealers from that time. But my experience is that walking into a dealership has been terrible, and so I'm not surprised by the Lucid experience. For better or for worse. My interactions with Lucid haven't been great, but they...

I'm not really sure what your aim is here. If your goal is to actually convince anyone of something, you might want to reconsider your rhetorical approach. Just to pick one example: you seem to consider every Waymo flaw evidence of some dishonest scheme on the part of Waymo, but autonomous...

It seems a bit premature to predict that Nvidia will be the clear winner. While they obviously have aspirations for autonomous driving, they really haven't demonstrated much actual success in that field. They're certainly a company with the deep pockets needed to invest in autonomous driving...

Are you able to hit that percentage with a luxury EV from anyone else? Given the depreciation that $100K+ EVs see, your 52% calculation doesn't at all surprise me. If I could lay hands on a low milage 3 year old GGT, I'd jump at the chance to save a huge amount of money! But alas, that wont...

I do expect a fair bit of power to be lost as heat during charging. But I can't say that I have any idea what would be a normal percentage, not for EVs in general, nor for the Gravity specifically. It would be interesting to see others report data for Gravity charging efficiency, but I...

No, but there are a lot of 75+ ft tall trees here around Lake Tahoe!
