    Week one

    I find the rear view mirror/center strip to "ruin the view" more than the visors. It is definitely not, "oh wow! I'm sitting in a bubble!" More like a traditional car with a nice panoramic roof. That said, I think it looks great both inside and out.

    Survey: Your plans for exterior paint protection

    Just got my car back: full Xpel wrap, ceramic coat, side and rear windows tinted. Looks great!

    Backup Camera/Surround Camera - What can it do?

    Here is an in-action picture at the Starbucks drive thru. Automatically came on as I got close to the car in front of me.

    Backup Camera/Surround Camera - What can it do?

    Only had the car a couple weeks, but I have found them to work fine if not great-- once they finally boot up (an often discussed issue around here). Functionally, they are at least as good as my previous Teslas. My only complaint would be the warning tone is way too sensitive and goes off when...

    How Much Range Are You Actually Getting?

    Is there any way to tell which method is being used? I wrongly have always assumed epa was epa. Seems like Porsche put themselves at a big marketing disadvantage by being honest. Not sure it would have changed anything, but me comparing a Taycan at 325 mi epa vs a Lucid at 469 mi epa may have...

    How Much Range Are You Actually Getting?

    Note I prefaced my comment by saying I was being hyperbolic. I am not sure who Tom is (may have missed it in one of the above posts), but I am using my real-world experience of 7 years driving Teslas and people's real-world experiences of their Lucid (mine does not have enough miles to...

    How Much Range Are You Actually Getting?

    Another reference point is ABRP is using 267 W/mi (3.74 mi/kWh or 419 total miles) as it's reference efficiency for the GT. If you plan on using it as a route planner, I guess you should adjust this number somewhere closer to 310 or higher.

    How Much Range Are You Actually Getting?

    The question I have is the Lucid actually performing at a level the same or higher than Tesla? Is it even performing as designed? My Model S 75D averaged 3.45 mi/kWh (290 W/mi) over the three years I had it (mostly city and stop-and-go freeway, almost no road trips). It's stated range was based...

    Tire Repair Kit

    How did you get a hold of one of these? Says "coming soon" on the Lucid webstore.

    Honestly, what do you miss?

    FWIW, I haven't noticed the wheel turn amount to be any different than any other car I've driven. I usually only tap the signal to change lanes tho (versus completely engage it). I have actually been liking that the stalk returns to a neutral position because I always ended up turning on the...

    Honestly, what do you miss?

    Excluding items that are software related... * Hatchback from the Model S * Pushing a button on the Tesla charger plug and having the charge port door automatically open * Bigger cupholders and center console from Model S * One big vertical screen (not a fan of the new landscape screens in the...

    Trunk (Decklid)

    Doesn't help that it's on my least favorite part of the car. Love the design... hate that trunk seam.

    Trunk (Decklid)

    I tried to re-create the same perspective as @borski. Doesn't look quite as bad from this angle.

    Mojave Interior Pictures?

    I find the accent lighting pretty subtle with not a huge amount of difference among the different themes. It does get fairly bright if you turn it all the way up, I will try and take some pictures and post them.

    Trunk (Decklid)

    Kinda worried I might have the same problem. Any thoughts? This what it is supposed to like like?

    Almost four months later, I finally got to 1k miles (a review)

    Mine was warning me about every 30 seconds. After reading this post, it dawned on me that it might be the sunglasses. It is very easy to turn off, and I have not tried it yet sans-shades.

    Grand Touring Tracker (Archive)

    Pretty sure it was a two car trailer (?)-- was not a big car hauler. They got to my place about 5pm, so I am guessing it was just a time-of-day thing. I am nervous about how service will work as well, but they are saying all the right things. Since these are the first cars in the region, he...

    Grand Touring Tracker (Archive)

    Sorry, not comfortable giving out his info. Totally dependent on what state you are in and what their registration requirements are. FWIW, they indicated in the documents to call my SA, if I needed any help scheduling a notary. I just ran to the bank, not a big deal.

    Feedback/improvements for the Air!

    The lurch is much much more than an ICE car (closer to mid to heavy braking). I am 90% sure the Model S delays regen braking (or disabled it completely until you next press the gas) when coming out of cruise control. It is not anything that can not be overcome, but definitely something that...
