I have to disagree with the comment that more EV stations will decrease the desire for greater range. My 2016 Model S 90D currently has 275 miles of range. When I travel on a long trip such as Lexington to Destin FL, my range requires 4-5 stops at Tesla superchargers, prolongs the trip and...

This would valuable information to know. If we can find this port, we would be able to attach an Optima charger onto this port to keep the battery charged in situations that risk discharging the battery. None of us would want to experience the problems recently seen by @Sam6062.

Thank you very much for this WONDERFUL thread. The images of the wide variety of EVs along with the surrounding scenic views makes for most enjoyable and educational reading. Everyday I read one thread after another with complaints about delayed shipping, hardware failures, and software bugs. It...

It seems scattered Lucid owners have become tired of fighting the hardware/software problems. Attached to this post is an image from the website of auto dealer in Lexington KY selling Lucid GT with 500 miles for $189,900.

Has anyone asked service representative how much range is lost by removing the plastic inserts?

I recall coin operated gas stations. Put in a quarter and get a gallon of gas. In those days (50s), you did not care if your muscle car got single digit miles per gallon. Life was good and spent a lot of time at the local car-hop restaurant with everyone else in town.

I think @Alex has given everyone the answer if you read his post closely. The problem with the tight fit of the TeslaTap only occurs with the mini version. You can obtain an 80 amp TeslaTap in the original cable version and there are no problems due to a tight fit with the male portion of the...

The rubber plates are so heavy you can barely pickup the bridge. Rain does not move them at all. BUT, the postman drives along the curb and slowly pushes the unit a little over time. Typically, I drag the plates back into place every couple of months or so (move them about two feet). My...

Thanks for doing this. Very educational for those of us awaiting our Lucid. Josh mentioned use of Tesla home chargers were discouraged. This is thought due to fear that Tesla Tap was not UL approved. Despite this, many owners report extensive use of Tesla Destination/Home Chargers with Tesla...

I agree. The difference is WONDERFUL!! Thanks Joe!

I am not sure of your exact problem, BUT if you are scraping where your driveway joins with the street, there is an easy solution. You should obtain a BRIDJIT. This is a heavy rubber wedge that bridges the gap between the street and your driveway. It has a channel to allow water to run...

Wikipedia states the battery pack in the Touring is 92kw while the Pure will be 88kw. If the AWD Pure has the same drive train as the Touring (620hp), it would seem probable that the range would be significantly less. Since range is the number 1 concern of EV owners, many individuals interested...

Could the smell be associated with the color of the mats? Everyone should provide their color and report on the smell.

@CLTGT: Like @Neurio, I would like to know if the 195/55R20 fits into the frunk. If not, you might consider emailing the president again and explaining the size constraints of the frunk. With that information, she may change the choice listed on the website. This would prevent future owners...

@hydbob did not recommend the 2.5 ton jack. He got his jack from EZ-Spare and stated this was the jack they sent to him. If bought from Amazon and not EZ-Spare, the 3 tons jack seems the better choice.

I appreciate the list. It helps those still on the fence. I would like to add a small number of additional but major problems that could not be resolved by a mobile service technician. Such problems are very bothersome since the closest service center is 6 hours away and extremely busy...

As a bystander in this discussion, I see a number of cars that seem to demonstrate acceptable range and others that are not coming close. This makes me remember that each brick of batteries has 600 tiny aluminum straps that connect all of the 300 cells in each brick. Could be that those...

Tom said his Lucid had odometer reading of 3000 miles.

@CLTGT You never did confirm that the email with your VIN actually arrived or was another broken promise. Did you officially get your VIN?

Kudos to @hydbob!! This is the kind of range test that needs to be documented. It seems unusual that both InsideEvs and Edmunds both obtained 500 miles on a full charge. I cannot believe Lucid sent them a “special” car to inflate the results. Without using miles/kw, we need reporting of...
