The Wunderbox will not allow damage to the battery. When very cold, most of the charge will be used to warm the battery (precondition) and the remainder to charge it. Pete

In all my testing of various options I've discovered something new on the charging graphic of the iPhone app. While charging the graphic shows wavy "electrical lines" starting at the front bumper and flowing to the charge limit indicator. (This was not new to me.) When the power is limited...

Yes, I agree it does nothing for the speed of charging at home. I am just assuming that keeping the battery within its optimal temperature is better for its long term life. But, that is just my speculation. Pete

This thread has some good info in it regarding Preconditioning. https://lucidowners.com/threads/cold-weather-battery-tips.4050/page-5#post-183070 It takes 30 to 45 minutes for the cold message to go away when I precondition mine in the garage. Pete

Great idea! I'll give that a try. Pete

I’ve been doing some experimenting on how to keep the battery warm while plugged into my L2 charger at home. With this latest cold weather snap, my unheated garage gets to the mid 30’s F by morning. The car usually shows the “Power limited due to cold battery” message when this happens, which to...

I spoke with Customer Service regarding maintenance or preconditioning functions while plugged in at home on a L2 charger. Mine only charges to the preset limit with no maintenance functions happening. I was told that is how it is designed. Seems odd to me. Pete

It’s 38 in my garage right now. When I went out this morning, the car woke up because I had my phone and it started charging. I got a warning on the app saying “power is limited due to a cold battery.” It charged from 78% to 80% and stopped. Never seemed to do any maintenance or warming. I might...

My car never wakes uninitiated to warm the battery. Should it? Pete

I noticed this as well. Kind of subtle but less. Enough to make me check if I was still in High Regen. Temp was in the 40's and SOC was less than 80%. Pete

I still notice the dark spots but I don't think they diminish the visibility at all. I just think of it as a novelty. Pete

I bought the Discount Tire certificates for Air with 20" tires for about $200. No real tire failures but I picked up a nail in the left rear and had a slow leak. It was fixed for free. Then I picked up a screw in the right front in the corner of the tread. It could not be repaired, and they...

I bought a Zenith Red touch up kit from Dr Colorchip. Used it for small chips. Good product and color match. Pete

I assume the OP was the same as I, i.e. out of state. I don't own a transponder but needed to get back to my home town using a few of the Illinois toll roads. Pete

The engineering that went into this car is what really sold me. Absolutely amazing! Pete

As Chillywill75 said, it's an easy experience and they will take good care of you. When I took delivery (Dec 22) I asked about the Ipass and how the tolls would be charged. The reaction I received was as though it was the first time anyone asked! Really never got an answer. I assume the tolls...

I really don't understand this obsession with pain thickness. Here is what I posted in November and I still stand by it: Nov 14, 2022 I've seen the video and heard the comments but believe me this has nothing to do with the quality of the coating system. I worked in the coatings...

Agreed. Don't really notice it any longer.

I had a good laugh at myself over this one. I installed the bracket myself. and it was installed successfully. However, while in the process of drilling holes into my $120k vehicle the thought did occur to me that I had no idea what might be behind the bumper where I was drilling or even what...

Sorry, but I draw the line on speculating on my speculations. 😁
