    Charge Limit

    There are loss curves out there if you're interested. Out of Spec Reviews did a Q&A video recently and there is a screenshot of the battery loss curves for 3 types of battery chemistry. High temperatures and high states of charge are not your friend, with a non-proportional level of loss...

    2.8.0 Software Update

    Experienced that during my first EV experience (rented Tesla Model Y 3 years ago) and have been on the lookout for it ever since. I've felt the Air 'flinch' in those instance, but not actually follow the wrong way. I've been testing more extensively in anticipation of hands free arriving and...

    2.8.0 Software Update

    I read that and initially thought, "what is the point?" but quickly realized a) that is your choice, and b) you're absolutely right. Just keeping your hand there at the moment is NOT enough to stop the warning, so this change will absolutely be useful for those who elect not to keep their hands...

    2.8.0 Software Update

    Geofencing is simply recognizing your location as a condition of whether is feature is enabled or not. For geofenced charging, you might decide for myriad reasons that are not relevant to the discussion, you do NOT want/need to pull 17-18kwh from your charger at HOME because you're generally in...

    2.8.0 Software Update

    I'm very glad you shared that, it's news to me. My thoughts were based on discussions that took place during the owners event on Long Island where a member of that team was speaking about the regulatory hurdles of hands off. Perhaps he was referring to higher levels, then, and I misunderstood...

    2.8.0 Software Update

    Ahh yes, I made a similar point a couple of weeks ago and someone had the same suggestion, looking at the update time. It's a reasonable guess to say that if the update is TINY, then it's indicative of a small change to that subsystem. If the update is large....unfortunately that wouldn't be...

    Total electrical failure

    Your punctuation is terrifying, btw. I literally thought you were in an accident and were asking the forum how to get out. I was yelling at the screen for you to call 911 and/or customer care for them to help you exit the car.

    2.8.0 Software Update

    Don't assume that the reason it took this long was because the software wasn't ready. There's a non-zero chance that the only hold-up for this was awaiting regulatory approval to release the hands free capability. What'll be interesting is if there are any substantial upgrades to the logic of...

    2.8.0 Software Update

    I think it's fairly clear from the timing of the Tesla and hands free announcement that they wanted to hit this as a quarterly goal. The 'credit' is earned by virtue of the announcement, in the eys of the stock market, at least. The fact that the rollout process has inherent delays is not a...

    2.8.0 Software Update

    Thank you, my original recollection was Jul 31 for the release, then I saw the release notes post yesterday, making me think it'd started and I was just misremembering the date.

    Charge Limit

    Might wanna swap to State of Charge for the display rather than range. Range is an ethereal thing.

    2.8.0 Software Update

    Yes, if you review this thread and every other update thread from the past, you'll see that not everyone receives it at the same time. They roll it out in waves of varying sizes, and sometimes the rollout is paused based on issues that are discovered by the initial groups that weren't found...

    2.8.0 Software Update

    Wait, my post made no sense...DreamDrive (OP) got the update yesterday, right?

    2.8.0 Software Update

    This might be the first time there's been a date for a release and nobody from the forum apparently received it on that day. Hopefully we'll start seeing reports today if the rollout started yesterday. This is a big one, very excited about it!

    Hands free Drive Assist! Jul 30. Air first!

    Fwiw, I'm not seeing that on 2.7.1, it's butter through the corners on DA for me.

    Hands free Drive Assist! Jul 30. Air first!

    Updates are always rolled out in waves, typically over a period of several days, sometimes stretching into 1-2 weeks (my estimate, nothing official). In the early days, I think the longest I waited was ~2.5 weeks. Since then it's been closer and closer to the initial release of the patch.

    2.8.0 Software Update

    Also excited about the frunk opening update, it is a bit of a clunker, bit cannot wait to try the hands free!

    Hands free Drive Assist! Jul 30. Air first!

    Add me to the list of people who have no issues with it. I have to say, it does seem overly conservative to not even engage a feature for fear that it won't work perfectly. Keep in mind, you're not abdicating all responsibility to the car, with no way to take control. Case in point, an 18...

    Lucid Announces Timothée Chalamet as Our First-Ever Global Brand Ambassador

    My daughter texted me the news about this today. She's suddenly incredibly interested in potentially attending the next Owners Event.

    Car & Driver does Hagerty One Better at 140mph in a Gravity Dream Quarter Mile

    I completely understand, however, it rarely involves using all the power of the car. Your 0-60 sec time could be 0.5 to 1.0 slower and you'd very likely still smoke everyone off the line. Most of the time, a reasonable amount of acceleration and quick reaction time will leave everyone in the...
