    SOLD Dream Edition Performance #40 Live on BaT

    I am sad to see the DE go. I bought a Sapphire and very happy with my Lucid experience overall. I'm out of town for a race next week, but if you ever want to stop by the shop and check out the Sapphire, you are welcome to stop in. Thunderbunnyracing.com

    EV depreciation vs ICE

    There is much talk of how much EV’s depreciate. I have a very real world test taking place in real time on Bring a Trailer. 2022 Lucid Dream Edition Performance vs 2022 BMW 760 x drive Final V12 edition. Sticker Lucid $170,500. BMW $202,695 I’ll post direct links in a follow up in case the...

    SOLD Dream Edition Performance #40 Live on BaT

    Thanks for bidding. With the new HV battery it really is almost like new. Not perfect of course, but the build quality has proven to be very good.

    I didn’t know there was an airbag there either. Nice to know.

    SOLD Dream Edition Performance #40 Live on BaT

    Hello all, My Dream Edition is live on BaT with no reserve. It will be going to a new home. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2022-lucid-air-43/#comments-anchor I am only selling because I have the Sapphire. I have no intention of selling the Sapphire. My favorite car ever. The DE is a close...

    20-ish mile range difference between 5 seat and 7 seat Gravity?

    Additional unsprung weight and slightly higher ride height both are impactful. The larger contact patch of course. The tire is multi compound with the center being similar across tires, at least that’s what Michelin says. Would be interesting to know exact percent of each item. I would bet...

    Are We Asking the Wrong Question About Charging?

    I’ll make you a deal on the DE. 😂

    Are We Asking the Wrong Question About Charging?

    Looking at a recent charge I got 70.7 kWh in 22 minutes 20-80% SOC. That’s an average of 192.8kW. When the charger provides 100% of what the car asks for, it’s pretty good.

    How Often Will the Air Top Up its Charge?

    If we start the but…why on things that could be better with a software update we will be here awhile and have a wildly different ideas on where the priority should be. 😂

    Are We Asking the Wrong Question About Charging?

    Add 10 gallons of gas to an ICE Hummer and 10 gallons to a Honda Civic is also vastly different. No one talks about adding miles of Gas, because you don't buy miles, you buy gallons. For an EV you buy kWhs. Most gas tanks don't show you number of gallons left is 1/2 tank.... so state of charge...

    Using an Adapter for a Tesla Level 2 Charger

    DC faster charging requires 2 way communication. Lucid is not yet active on Tesla supercharger network.

    Wait is worth it! 21" OE-109 from Duxpur Forged Wheel!

    This is not accurate. The center lock is only for the aero covers. 5 lug nut wheel.

    What if? -- maintaining Airs if Lucid US disappears

    I haven't lost interest in ICE vehicles. I'll keep driving as long as gasoline is available.

    What if? -- maintaining Airs if Lucid US disappears

    The Lucid Air is the best car I have ever driven or owned. I continue to drive C6 427 6 speed Corvette, and a truck, and a 488 Ferrari Spider. I love all of those vehicles. All around the Air is the best. If I could only have one it would be the Air.

    I think this is an EA problem. Do you agree?

    I have 10 different charging apps on my phone that were necessary to charge at different chargers on road trips over the last 3 years. It is not unusual for any of them to be finicky. In the last three years the number of chargers has increased dramatically. Having driven across country...

    EA Megathread

    Unless you are under 20% I would agree a 150 (175) vs a 350 makes almost no difference in the Air. I'm on a road trip now in a 2025 Sierra EV. I haven't found a white paper on the configuration of the battery pack yet (haven't looked much), but it definitely has a split pack. Charging at...

    Does Anyone Have Regrets? (non-owner asking)

    I have many regrets. Buying 2 Lucids are not on the list. 😁

    Lucid air vs my m5

    I haven’t seen a Sapphire on the secondary market yet. You can definitely get a DE performance for under 100.
