    End of Lease Experience

    Every lease I’ve had an I’ve had many the purchase price was negotiable. It’s going to be interesting to see what they do with the lease returns. Given that they’re not currently focused on selling used I bet they’ll send them to the auction.

    All Season Tires/Wheels

    Yes get the Michelins if you can. The Pirelli’s for me are not great. Car doesn’t feel as nearly planted or precise vs the summer only Michelin’s. Some of this is to be expected with an all season due to a softer taller sidewall and tread. But IMO it Feels like you’re driving on marbles at high...

    2.4.0 / 2.4.2 / 2.4.3 / 2.4.4 OTA

    This is a 1st for me. I’ll check my router to see if there’s been more data downloaded to the car than usual.

    Need help installing the radar detector

    I did it myself for my Valentine 1 gen 2 and Uniden R8. Not that hard once you pop the covers around the mirror. Then use a small cable tap with pins and and RG connector to tap into a wire harness for power. I’d recommend fused cable taps for added protection. Having some pry tools also makes...

    2.4.0 / 2.4.2 / 2.4.3 / 2.4.4 OTA

    Driving to work yesterday I was a bit startled when Lane Departure Protection intervened despite it being fully disabled. Turning it on then off again resolved the issue. This is the 2nd unexpected behavior I’ve witnessed during a rollout. The other was an error message for cameras being...

    2.4.0 / 2.4.2 / 2.4.3 / 2.4.4 OTA

    I’m willing to admit that I’m a complete sucker for wanting something I can’t have. Heck I want things I never even knew existed until I found out that I couldn’t have them. These software updates certainly feed into this condition. I think it comes down to the primal theory of the hunt is...

    US Armor Group unveils armored Lucid Air Sapphire with pepper spray and electric-shock door handles

    Yes I'm sure it's better than most and when you have access to your own nuclear reactor you don't care about efficiency. :D

    Need advice on Demos

    I’ve had a couple 2022 GT loaners with roughly 15k and 22k miles respectively. Compared to my new 2024 Touring with a solid roof they felt different both in good and bad ways. Many differences were due to different options. Good- Accelerator pedal required a normal amount of input. Mine is...

    1st car wash.

    For me detailing is my therapy. It’s one of the few things in my life that’s not complex and I see the results of my work immediately. I did a recent mild paint correction and ceramic coating. 35 years of detailing all my own cars. If anyone needs any diy tips let me know. Note: foam cannon...

    Makes perfect sense to me. If you need to get away from the bad guys you want to do it swiftly.

    Highway speed effects on range

    This is purely anecdotal but from my experience repeated rapid high speed acceleration kills range. Just like an ICE powered car. Last extended run with brisk blasts of acceleration I went from 90% SOC to 20% in roughly 150 miles. On the return trip taking it easy and cruising with traffic @...

    Why speed limit difference Air Grand Touring vs Air Touring?

    With the all seasons there’s some wander and vagueness at high speeds. Regen in Sprint is pretty aggressive. I think the brakes are very good at scrubbing off speed. Nothing like my cars with CCB but confidence inspiring nonetheless. Love that they’re hydraulic and not brake by wire. The only...

    Chicago to Traverse City MI-where to stay?

    Heading to Traverse City MI for a long weekend with another couple. 1st road trip in the Air. It’s only 350 miles with several 300 kw chargers listed along the way. Plan to hit the wineries, I’m skeptical that we’ll find anything red that I’ll like. But after the 3rd glass I don’t think it’ll...

    Why speed limit difference Air Grand Touring vs Air Touring?

    Curious why there’s a speed limit difference between the Air Touring @ 140mph VS Air Grand Touring @ 168 mph. Technology related- More Efficiency, More Sustainable Performance: Enhancements to Lucid’s proprietary motor design, battery cell chemistry, and thermal characteristics reduce energy...
