I am less concerned about the bonus at only 6 mil, and wondering why they need to expand their factory by 1 million sq ft given the projected volume for 2024. The Gravity is an expensive car as well and will likely do better but not huge volumes at the price points. Not sure they need to spend...

Just lease the car. The buyout at the end of the lease is reasonable and if something happens or you are not sure about the future of the company, return the car. I have a friend who purchased one of the early Fisker Karmas. That company went under and getting service was impossible for...

I found Google Maps on my iPhone 15 Max to be very laggy when using CarPlay if the phone is in the built in charger. Moving it out of the charger and onto the center armrest, solved the lag. As a result, I purchased the TWraps charger. No lag but if I use Google Maps, the map keeps zooming in...

I would not call Gary Black a "big investor". Looks like he has a new fund but it does not seem very large or doing especially well. He is just doing what many of the short players do, ban mouthing the company hoping to drive the price down so they can profit on the price decrease. The trash...

Looking to find other Long Island Lucid Owners. Please post your location, model and color Thanks Peter - Northport NY, Pure AWD in White

I you have a 0% lease then you are just paying depreciation and no interest, (Cap cost less residual)/18 If they set the residual lower, your monthly lease payments would be higher because you have to pay more depreciation. If you purchase the car at the end of lease, the total of your lease...

One other trick is to pick hotels with chargers if you are staying over. You can plug in and let the car charge overnight. You can also find parking garages with level 2 chargers where you can park and let the car charge up.

Having owned a Tesla for 6+ years, the car gives you instantaneous efficiency numbers. When you first start to drive, the car is conditioning the interior and battery and the efficiency for the fist mile is awful. As you drive further, you are averaging out the poor efficiency you had for the...

Just joined this group. It would be great to hear from other members where they live to get an idea where the other Lucids are out there in the NE. I live in Northport, NY -

Probably not. You are getting an additional $7500 off with the lease so the monthly payment should be much lower than if you set up a longer term loan where the amount owed after 3 years would be the same as the lease residual value. The $7500 spread over 3 years is more than $200/month...

Own both cars. Tesla's work fine in the cold. Not sure why you would precondition the battery and not just drive down the hill. Sounds like your are using battery capacity or wall current so that you can put some of it back with regen? Overall, it might be more efficient to just drive and...

I find Plugshare to be the best app for finding chargers, getting user ratings and seeing when the last person used a station. If you are traveling, pick hotels or parking garages with level 2 chargers and leave your car overnight to charge to 90% if staying in that area, or 100% if leaving...

Having the "greatest" chassis tech does not equal sales, no matter what the marketing budget is. How many cars does Lotus sell? The market is littered with companies with great tech that failed. Car enthusiasts buy cars with great chassis tech but that is not the majority. Many people are...

Overall this was a good article that highlights the situation. Cold batteries do not charge and either require preconditioning or a long time at the charger for the battery to warm up using the charger current before the car will start to charge or charge at a very slow rate. Have experienced...

Overall very happy with the car's driving, range, efficiency and level of "luxury". Having also owned a Tesla for 6 years, the software updates are not close to what Tesla offers - there are "major" releases once or twice a year and minor updates more frequently with minimal changes. There are...

I have a friend who purchased an early Fiskar Karma. The car was a disaster, always in the shop. As the company faltered, the local service operation closed. Once that happened, he went after them to return the car under the Lemon Law and won but the company went bankrupt. In the end the...

Great, comprehensive list of features. Thanks

I have had this warning. It follows a warning I get on the left screen indicating that I have a problem with my right headlight. When that warning goes away, this symbol appears. The headlight issue is only when it is below 40 degrees outside so probably a marginal connection somewhere.

I have found that using CarPlay with the phone in the wireless charger causes the nav to lag. For some reason, the phone cannot receive the satellite signal and either hangs or lags. If you take the phone out of the charger and put it on the armrest between the seats, the nav works well with...

Nice to see another Lucid owner nearby. What town do you live in? I am in Northport.
