Agree. The bullet is poorly written. I think they meant that they have better estimates of range and better, and more accurate, estimates of battery levels.

Actually, the act does not have a limit on how late you have to wait to finalize the purchase and take physical possession of the car. With the supply chain issues it could be years before you actually take possession of the car. Or what if Lucid goes bankrupt and stops building your car before...

Fully agree. One problem not discussed is what happens if you take the credit in 2022, but for some reason are unable to finalize the purchase? I would think that you would have to file an amended 2022 return in future years to RETURN the tax credit to the IRS.

Did they indicate want the time or distance point was where they will charge you for shipping? I am 685 Mi from the nearest Service Center and my DA said I will not be charged for shipping to my home. He didn't know at what point they would charge a buyer for shipping. Now we know a 2 hr...

Go for the touring. You only need one kidney. LOL!

Thanks for the explanation. When I get my GT I then will decide whether this is a significant issue or not.

Really? When commenters on this thread use words like "drain" and "wipe" and "extreme amounts of water", and "long time to drain", that does not sound like just drips.

Still sounds like a design flaw to me. Owners of a $154,000 auto should not have to deal with something like this.

OK, got it. Then the water sits and accumulates on the panels around the trunk opening? Aren't the panels sloped to drain the water off the panels? Maybe a picture from someone would help.

Although I do not yet have a Lucid, nor have I even seen a Lucid live, how does wash water manage to get into the trunk? Is it a design flaw? All my cars have a rubber gasket/seal around the trunk opening that seals up against the trunk lid when it is closed. Doesn't a Lucid have a similar design?

Agree. State of Charge did a 0-100% DC fast charge test on a DE and the car used up 134 kwh, 16 kwh more that the battery capacity, or about 13% in wasted heat...

When you had your car originally shipped from Riviera Beach was it in a covered hauler? If so, did they also cover the car inside the hauler with a car cover?

Great. Happy cruising next week around Charlotte.

Sorry CLTGT, but you don't count because you have already got your car, even though you no longer have your car. (Sorry, bad joke.) Come next Friday, 8/5, I will have been 154 days from confirmation without a VIN. And that is with a Zenith Red color, which was at one time a heavily produced...

Paying estimated taxes does not bar you from taking the deduction. The only thing that matters is the tax liability based on your income. You just have to make sure that your tax liability is higher than $7500 before you take the credit or you lose the the remainder of the credit. If you are...

That's a good question. Congress can do just about anything on the credit. Most likely, because this is an election year they won't tackle this issue until after the election and maybe not till next year. If senator Manchin has his way, it won't ever get done.

The tax is available for each vehicle that is eligible for the credit. You can buy as many EVs you want in the same year and get the credit. Just make sure you have a tax liability to match the tax credits, or you will lose the remainder of the credit. The EV tax credit is nonrefundable in...

You are correct. The EV tax credit is a nonrefundable tax credit, meaning that if your tax liability is less than $7500, you only get to credit the amount of your tax liability. Good news though, you owe no taxes for the year! There are some tax credits that are refundable, meaning if your tax...

Despite attempts by several commentators on this thread to dissuade you from reporting this incident to the NHTSA, I urge you to report this incident. Your wife suffered a serious injury and someone else who may have used this seat belt by this manufacturer in their car may have experienced the...

Very perceptive! I noticed that a couple of weeks ago. On the forum there has not been a VIN assignment for 5 weeks for Reds(July 16)! The reds are now the black sheep of the assembly line as the Blacks, Whites and even the Greys ha been getting VIN assignments ahead of the Reds! LOL...
