    https://www.roadandtrack.com/news/a41468416/racetracks-need-to-embrace-the-dc-fast-charger/ At least in NorCal, Tesla seems to be headed in the right direction with a huge new Supercharger location in Willows, CA next to Thunderhill, and a new supercharger at Laguna Seca Can't wait till they...

    Doors Unlocked

    I started seeing the same thing recently and I suspect it's because I was only keeping one of the key fobs that was closer to the car in a faraday pouch, thinking keeping both into faraday pouches should clear it up. Would be nice if it was there was an option to turn off proximity unlock.

    Formula E fast charging pit stop practice - 600kW

    haha yeah, apparently in Formula E you only get one or two sets of tires per race weekend 😅 vs in F1 where you get something like 13 Since you don't have any extra tires to swap on, race strategy in Formula E is mostly about energy management apparently, pretty interesting

    Review: Heat Shield Store custom sun shades for Lucid Air

    One interesting thing about the new design is that the roof shades for the front are much smaller since the windshield cover blocks a lot more area. Could possibly leave these up while driving as a possible solution if you find the top of your head getting warm. I think the roof glass is so...

    Ceramic coating, window tinting, and wraps

    I was on the fence regarding PPF, and in the end decided not to do it. The roads/freeways near me are notorious for causing rock chips, so I like to think I'm doing a bit of a science experiment on the hardness of Lucid paint haha. In a bit less than ~1k miles now, I've observed the most rock...

    Lucid Air Wagon Is The Perfect Electric SUV Antidote

    Yup! We went up to North Lake Tahoe for that trip I believe (wanna say Diamond Peak/Mount Rose?). LOL @ your experience at Heavenly, seems like you had a good time and hopefully made it out of that one without too much more than a bruised ego!

    Lucid Air Wagon Is The Perfect Electric SUV Antidote

    I ❤️ wagons. The V70 R is iconic, and I've always wanted a merc AMG wagon. Sold my WRX hatch many years ago, but the combination of speed and practicality was great, had so much fun with that car. Audi did decide to bring over the RS6 Avant to the US, perhaps we can hope against all hope that...

    RESOLVED App to turn Climate on

    I've seen the iOS app get into a state where the Lucid app seems like it works (app can wake up car, and lock/unlock), but remote climate control won't work at all, no matter what you try. Customer care suggested a phone reboot, and shockingly it did actually fix it for me. I don't have the...

    To Sapphire or to not?

    For me personally, I want a car I can have fun driving, not just the car with the most impressive lap times/spec sheet. The sapphire will probably have capabilities that can't be fully utilized on the street, so I figure it'll come down to how much fun you can have doing HPDE/track days. It...

    Review: Heat Shield Store custom sun shades for Lucid Air

    Quick update: I just received a new replacement set of sunshades that seem to be tweaked/updated based on the feedback posted in this thread. Biggest change: The front windshield shade doesn't use suction cups and goes up far enough to be held in place by sun visors, front passenger roof shades...

    Tow hook license plate holder

    I was thinking about doing using a tow hook license plate mount, but after looking at the car I suspect mounting the license plate this way would partially block the bottom part of the front that channels air over the radiators (see the "Double-Dyson Radiator Ducts" section in this motortrend...

    Review: Heat Shield Store custom sun shades for Lucid Air

    Was looking for sunshades for my Air Grand Touring to keep it cool while it's parked, and some quick googling turned these up: https://www.heatshieldstore.com/car-window-shades/2022-lucid-lucid-air-sedan Overall impression is pretty positive. Shades seem to be cut to the right shape, and are...
