I don't think it's over selling it as a sports car. It's a luxury sedan with a sporty edge. If the sporty edge isn't interesting to you, it's not going to compete well against an EQS or especially an i7. They do the luxury/quiet/soft part better because they don't worry about the sporty part...

I'd say where you got to "Performance doesn't matter much to me" - the Air isn't the right car. You might want to look at the i7 though.

Sure, what's the 10 year degradation on the battery packs for the cars doing 200kW sustained? Answer: We don't know, they haven't existed that long. Better isn't just about the short term. Subjectively to you, that matters more.

"Improved" is a difficult word, because it's subjective. Charging is a balance of a lot of factors, thermal, longevity, etc. I only know of one competitor who has presumably a better curve for road trips, which is the Taycan. The question that is unknown is the long term effect of the...

We should try to do one of those coffee deals on some weekend since there's a crowd of us.

I live in Glenview by Flick Park and have a Zenith Red Stealth, so good chance you will if you haven't run into me already.

Yeah, funny enough, Lucid is also not the first manufacturer in recent times to do this. https://riviantrackr.com/2023-46/ "To avoid splashing passengers when entering or exiting the vehicle, now the front wipers temporarily pause while the vehicle is in Park and either front door is open...

Mea culpa on the defrost part: I tested it this morning, and it definitely does turn on the rear. The rear is just slow so it seemed like it wasn't, where the front was already fully hot. Wiper thing definitely happens though.

Yeah - it doesn't *seem* to turn on the rear defrost, I assumed from the behavior it was turning on the front defrost. I see other threads about weak rear defrosters, so assumed it wasn't just me. The wiper thing only happens if I pre-heat the car, or maybe it's just because there's a delay...

So an unpleasant thing which has happened twice now in the wet cold weather we've been having. I have turned on the climate remotely before I go out to the car. As it's been cold and rainy, there is water/frost on the windshield. As soon as I pull the door handle, the auto wipers trigger, and...

Weird - I don't see that on the page you linked, and they were very clear when I ordered that none would be included or available at the service center during delivery. Only from the store after I receive the coupon. They just didn't bother to mention that the store might not ship it for a few...

I never said it was included either way, in fact I said they aren't. So no point in a semantic argument of what wasn't said in the first place.

The free charging has a KWh limit to it though, so using that as an excuse to customers isn't a good one (unless they're going to comp you some extra). Could pretty easily use up 200-300kWh of your 1000 if you have to wait a few weeks for your EVSE to ship.

Correct. I took delivery on Sept 20th, I knew they did not provide an EVSE. They provide you a coupon code, which you can use to purchase their EVSE options from their store. I ordered the Lucid Mobile Charging Cable on 9/21. It's now 10/6, and they haven't even shipped my order. It's...

Don't think so - I suspect this is just that they found a bug during that whole LTE outage and are patching it, since it pretty badly disabled all the vehicles impacted.

Well if he ever decides he hates the place and quits, he can also point the code inspectors over there. Unfortunately they've given you a headache, because the 6-20P chargers can actually be pretty cheap since they're only 3.6kW. The one for my Volvo was only like $170. The mobiles that...

With the alu roof, mine is just to the right of the mirror assembly at the top of the glass, just below the dot matrix. Has worked fine there so far.

Right, was trying to avoid 'adapter' since he's using presumably a not-so-legal 14-50R to 6-20P adapter right now. Which is a thing that shouldn't exist. The EVSE plug end must natively match the outlet/receptacle which must be wired for the proper rated amperage with a properly rated breaker...

There is no reason to implement it in the car. It's not allowed by electrical code to connect the plug to a lower rated receptacle. It's unsafe to do this at any time. The correct solution is to have the correct plug end on the EVSE, which will make the EVSE report the proper safe current...

It can't, because you're using a plug adapter. You can't use a plug adapter like this. The EVSE has to be aware of the current limit or be able to set the current limit. Do not use plug adapters/extension cords of any sort with charging equipment. I'm pretty sure they say that very clearly...
