    19 vs. 20 vs. 21 tires for Touring

    Looking at these weight ratings I'm actually a bit worried about whether the Michelins can support the loaded weight of the Air. I know this was mentioned before, but when you hover over the explanations of the weight supports it looks like these might be a few hundred pounds short of being safe...

    19 vs. 20 vs. 21 tires for Touring

    Here are some links that might help. First, the Tire Rack search for tires that fit the Air...

    19 vs. 20 vs. 21 tires for Touring

    FWIW I also live in MA and have 21" tires on my Model S every summer for the past 4 years. I mostly don't have a problem with either Pilot Super Sport or Pilot Sport 4S (I've had sets of each). I've popped 2 tires this whole time, so less than 1 per year average. The first tire loss was the day...

    Maybe the 21 inch were a bad idea

    Actually, to follow up on my own post... I've had the opposite experience with road hazard warranty through Tire Rack. I've bought a lot of tires from TR over the past 10 years for my Model S. I've blown tires maybe 3 times, and every time their warranty has mostly covered the replacement cost...

    Maybe the 21 inch were a bad idea

    My experience with dealer-sold tire warranties is that they are not worth it. As an example, the last and final time I tried this was on a Mini Cooper S. It comes with noisy, poor handling, expensive run-flat tires. The warranty cost $1400 I think, which was roughly the cost of an entire set of...

    iOS 16 - CarPlay

    Ultimately the most important thing is the product quality and the customer experience. Lucid's own hopes and dreams of some glorious infotainment implementation are great. If that's the path they choose to get the best customer experience then they should head down that path. OTOH, if they...

    3 month Free Tidal Sub

    Does anyone know if the 3 months can be used as 3 free months for an existing Tidal user? I am considering trying Tidal out now, before my AGT arrives, but I don't want to miss out on the 3 free months. New users only get 1 month normally.

    Software Bugs

    Agreed, I just want to know separately how many people have hit problems charging at home. The EA problems sound (unfortunately) expected at this point.

    Can't charge at Home

    An ATS (automatic transfer switch) typically works by having a hydraulic piston that is connected to a relay. When the piston is in one position, your main panel is connected to the grid. In the other position it is connected to a generator feed (or some other supply feed). The relay is...

    Software Bugs

    Can we split up the options for car not initiating charging between at home and at an EA charger? I'm more concerned about the former. Failing to start at an EA charger seems to be about inconsistently deployed software at those chargers mostly.

    Electrify America Home Station

    Unit clarification: a watt is 1 joule per second, and 1kW = 1000 joules / second. It is not correct to say that you would draw 9.6 kW per hour, that's saying you're drawing 9600 joules per second per hour. You are just drawing 9.6kW. In one hour, you will have drawn 9.6kWh (kilowatt hours), 9600...

    Regen vs State of charge

    In my 2016 Model S: 265 miles is max range 260 miles is about when regen begins a little bit 245-250 is when it seems to be be at full level I don't know if the Air will be similar, but it is probably an interesting comparison point at least.

    Lucid offers Michelin tires on Air

    There is a photo of the 20's on a real car in this thread: https://lucidowners.com/threads/peter-will-host-tech-talk-2-tomorrow.1486/

    Brief post-PPF+Service Update

    On this topic of audio quality, are you all sure the speakers are broken in? You might notice the audio output change as the suspension ring around the diaphragm loosens. That usually takes dozens of hours of use, and the audio will continue changing for several more hours of playback. In some...

    Lucid offers Michelin tires on Air

    I have ordered the 21” wheels for my AGT, but am also considering the 20”. I live in MA, so a winter set will be imporant. But our roads are in bad shape for the first month and a half it would be warm enough for summer tires, and I kinda hope the larger sidewall on the 20’a might pop less often...

    Alternate 21” Tires to Pirelli?

    I have Michelin X-Ice snows for my Model S winter set and don’t like them at all. They feel… mooshy. They make a lot of noise. They are not good when it is warm but not warm enough for summer tires yet. I would not buy them again. However I have pilot super sport 4s for my summer set, and I...

    Grand Touring Tracker (Archive)

    Grey / Tahoe / 21" Order confirmed 2022-05-08 I was going to order white / santa cruz, but I'm pretty scared of those white carpets. I can't see keeping those clean in a New England winter, even with winter floor mats. If a blue exterior option does become available before my car enters...

    Lucid start to drive time

    My Tesla didn’t gain the ability to reset the geofence location until several years into ownership, and separating arrival and departure points was about a year or more after that. I imagine these features will come, but the engineers probably have a lot on their plate right now.

    Can I use Tesla wheels on the Air?

    Unplugged Performance has a good record of the tech specs of each stock tire Tesla has used. The tire sizes available for 19" and 21" are the same, so I assume outside diameter will be the same. It looks like all of them have a 64.1mm center bore, and 40mm offset. Bolt pattern is the standard...

    Can I use Tesla wheels on the Air?

    I just placed my reservation for an Air GT. I'm in Massachusetts, so if I get the 20" or 21" wheels with summer tires I'll certainly need a set of 19's for winter tires. I've been swapping 19's and 21's on my Model S for several years, and don't mind the hassle as a trade off for the nicer look...
