It’s an interesting idea. We are an EV-exclusive household (Lucid and Rivian) and 99% of the time these vehicles suit our needs. In fact, we looked at the typical places we drive before committing to ditching our ICE vehicles. While it’s certainly possible to make road trips in a non-Tesla EV...

It'd be awesome if they could show up with a Sapphire. I seem to recall they were strictly not allowed to drive any Sapphires arriving to the SC.

Katie’s Cars and Coffee is in Great Falls on Saturdays from 6-9 am. When the weather is nice it fills up quickly. If I go it’s usually around 8 am or later when the early shift is clearing out. For the later risers Cars and Cigars in Ashburn is a great event run once a month on a Saturday...

One thing I’ve wondered is whether or not range is affected simply by selecting Swift or even Sprint. In others words, if I drive the identical way in Smooth vs Sprint do I use more energy in Sprint? Thinking there may be additional battery or motor conditioning that comes with the more...

I just tested at a local EA. Had to initiate the session on the app but after that I successfully charged! I don’t plan to use it often, but good to know it’s an option for me on road trips (at least for 12 more months).

I bought my Air DE Performance used last fall. I see in the app that my EA charging service still has 12 of 36 months remaining so I figured I'd give it a try. I read under the charging tips that I can just plug in and the charging session should begin. Does this mean I do not need to have...

Since the last update to 2.1.47 I've noticed some strange behavior with my lighting. Specifically, the Side/Position Lights Active and Low Beam Headlights Active indicators lights will continuously toggle between on and off despite no change in the outside lighting conditions. Seems like they...

I’m in northern VA and have gone without a front plate on my last few cars. Never have had an issue.

Bought my used Dream Edition Performance back in August and it did not have the aero wheel inserts (previous owner threw them away!). Anyone out there have inserts they don't want for the 21" Dream Edition Performance wheels? I would use them on longer trips.

I have not had a "luxury" feeling repeatedly having to follow up with my service center to chase down an appointment. Even if they are backlogged, there is no excuse not emailing or calling a customer back repeatedly. I welcome more service capacity if this is true.

I have experienced inconsistent regen intensity a few times now. The most alarming was taking an on ramp at appreciable speed. It was essentially s-shaped and approaching the second turn I let off the accelerator expecting the regen to bite and it didn’t! I’m so conditioned to using single...

I've had a very hard time getting any sort of follow up from my service center. I have to repeatedly follow up to make things happen. After four separate calls from me over a four week period I finally got a service appointment scheduled to address a few nuisance issues, nothing major. When...

Had a funny one the other day. I was picking carpool of kids up after swim, loading swim gear in the frunk. A mom in a big SUV rolls up beside me asking if I needed a jump! Before I could say anything she realized her gaffe. While I appreciated her helpfulness, it was rather funny.

I agree if you’re tracking the car or driving super aggressively. However, for most I’m quite certain a patch is no problem. I would disagree that buying a pair of new tires for $1200 is “cheap” insurance.

Had a nail in my 21” Pirelli. Tire shop said the tire had foam inside and they couldn’t patch it. I asked if they could cut a section of the foam out and they said they could try but sometimes the glue is problematic. Anyhow they were able to do it. The idea of buying new tires anytime one...

Thanks! I have been using the mobile key, but I haven’t set up my wife with the mobile key yet.

I just replaced my fob battery 3 weeks ago and now it’s not working, so maybe this coating is my issue (they were cheap Amazon batteries). Other than the photos specific to Duracell, is there a way to determine whether a battery has this coating? Is AirTag compatibility an indicator of no...

Hello, all! Looking to take the full EV plunge as I am considering a slightly used Dream Performance (my wife has a Rivian R1S on the way). Combing the forums it seems like many of the gripes have been software related. I assume software updates are gradually remedying these issues. Any other...
