They are authorizing for the charge costs, not idle fees. They do it this way even for people that don’t have free charging anymore (me, for example). It is simpler to do it one way than to have a special case for people who have free charging. Since it doesn’t ever actually post anyway, I...

They (and anyone) authorize it for a maximum amount so that you don’t have to “swipe” twice. Gas stations usually authorize for $100-150.

If you’re on 2.6.0, that means there is something wrong with your car. Get service to check it out.

Those calipers are beautiful. He have a recommendation in the SF Bay Area for someone who paints calipers as well as him? :)

This is not the case. I have this on good authority. The launch of a DE has been planned for some time, and is not a last- minute decision. The question of *when to announce* a DE has been the discussion internally, to avoid the nonsense PR of “inaccessible car” yet again, not a sudden...

We know that the full-size sedan market is fairly saturated. It wouldn’t surprise me if full-size sedans are simply market-capped at the moment. Despite that, Lucid is selling out their category, as #1 in EVs in the segment and #3 of all vehicles in the segment, including ICE vehicles - if I...

Can you take a video of the car yelling at you in German? I promise I’m asking only partially for the comedic benefit, but also because I want to figure out what’s happening haha

Good analysis. That’s all I know too.

The base wheels and the 7 seats are the two major range mods. The DE is standard with 7 seats (and it cannot be added as an option later to either GT or DE), so that’s stuck. If you bought the base wheels separately, then yes, you’d get better range.

Emad is incredible.

I love Peter, but he is absolutely eccentric. He would agree. Eccentric isn’t bad. I’m eccentric to some, I’ve been told.

Not from the GT with 7 seats.

No. If they’re limited it to existing DE owners they’re making *less* than 520. I don’t see this slowing down ramp at all; if anything, DE buyers are just the guinea pigs. Just guinea pigs that can go really fast :p Then do that! The choices are there for a reason. I want the performance, but...

I mean, and 242 HP. Some whole cars make less than 242 HP. I can tell you the difference between my 1111HP DE and an 819HP GT is massive, for me. Nobody needs that HP, lol. But it’s more than just getting the car earlier. All the other stuff (badging, etc.) is just niceties; you’re paying...

The email starts with “As a Lucid Air Dream Edition owner, …” and mentions it is invitation-only, so it seems existing DE owners got dibs. My suspicion is if there isn’t a ton of take-up (or maybe even if there is) they may open it up to others later. Or maybe not! No idea. But it does seem...

This is correct. It is not just software.

Amen. You should stick around. I like you.

I would bet many thousands of dollars they are completely unrelated. Sometimes things really are just a coincidence.

Peter has built an entire team full of incredible talent. That’s who will drive it now. The real test of a great founder is if, eventually, they can step away from the day-to-day. I don’t know if Lucid was there, but Peter leaving doesn’t mean the company is dead or anywhere near it; the team...

Or, this was planned for a long time and they didn’t want to run the risk of launching it before the GT, so as to avoid the reputation of being a crazy expensive car. There’s never really a good time to launch an edition like this, because if you launch it first it labels the car as...
