Turtle mode has been reported by a number of owners. Many, but not all, required replacement of the rear motor.

I have doubts about placing the jack next to a rear wheel to change a front flat tire. Members of this forum have changed tires. I would like to hear from them. When you jacked up your car, did both wheels come off the ground or only the one close to the jack?

You need to measure clearance with the tire flat. Don’t buy a bottle jack that fits only when the tire is inflated.

This continues to suggest 12V failure as reported by others. Once you have your car returned, please consider accessing the thread “Poll - 12V issue” and complete the poll with a description of the problem with resolution. This is a very scary scenario that suggests full documentation by all...

Showing my age. Watching all seven seasons of Hill Street Blues on DVD while waiting on new episodes of House of Dragon and Rings of Power. Third Watch is next.

This sounds like another possible “12V system failure”. Please keep us informed of your saga as it unfolds. If this is another serious 12V failure, it is important for everyone to know since this is approaching the need for an official recall. Notice how the problem arose shortly after visit...

It seems to be a pigtail with black and red leads directly from one of the 12V batteries. Treat them as you would any pigtail connected to a 12V.

From reading all the posts, it seems to me that @Empty Nest and @HC_79 are correct when they stated this is not a primary 12V problem. It seems the communication with the high voltage battery is malfunctioning leading to a 12V failure. As @HC_79 stated, his problem was not resolved until...

The best picture I have seen was posted by @RyeLucid. It is attached.

Please keep us informed. Sounds like it may be another system failure similar to that experienced by @HC_79 , @Pete44 @Empty Nest , and @Johnlee87. You should read previously posts about jumping 12V to allow access to the car during placement on the flatbed.

It is possible Lucid chose the smaller battery pack to reduce the weight and maximize performance. If this is true, it would explain the lack of information on the range of the Sapphire. It would be tough to pay 250K for a vehicle with less range than the Pure.

October also should reveal the Volvo Embla (EV version of XC90). This is another interesting vehicle that may equal or exceed the Polestar 3. If the range on the Embla exceeds 350, it may pull many folks away from the Pure. Local service by widely available Volvo dealerships, the solid Volvo...

Please keep us informed of the final resolution. Turtle mode reported by others required replacement of the rear motor.

In the video, look at the roof of the car. Substantial roll bars and solid roof. I doubt the stock Sapphire will have this hardware.

Due to the problems mentioned by @bunnylebowski, I dislike dedicated inflators due to the poor quality connection to the valve stem. I use a high quality but small air compressor. This takes up little space in my garage, fills tires quickly/accurately, and, as an added bonus, operates air tools...

One must pay 80% of your tax in advance but not pay too much in advance so that you do not still owe $7500. It is a fine line to avoid the prepay penalty but also be able to claim the entire credit. It is typical for Uncle Sam and the IRS to make everything difficult.

I think @hydbob had a problem with his seat; not sure if it was a squeak. His seat was replaced. What was your problem @hydbob ?

I got the $7500 credit on my Tesla. It is my understanding that @LAZARU5 is correct. You must owe $7500 in taxes to get the full credit. If you owe only $6000, then you only get $6000 credit. They will not give you the credit in a refund. Obtaining the credit is very tricky. If you do not...

This WONDERFUL!! It is really nice to see the faces after reading so many posts. It reminds me of the last episode of the Band of Brothers in which we got to see the real heroes depicted in the saga.

So sorry to read your problems!! If they cannot provide an enclosed transport trailer, you might request a Lucid car cover be used with the flat bed trailer. That is not difficult and the manner of transport when it traveled from the factory. Every new car came with the white factory cover we...
