Is it possible that the Lucid software is miscalculating the miles/kw and underestimating the range? Most of our complaints about range have come from estimates of range arrived by use of the stated mile/kw usage. Has anyone attempted to duplicate the range test used by Tom of InsideEvs that...

I agree. Nashville service center is positioned well between Chicago and Houston. A service center in this location would increase sales significantly in the heartland of America. “Build it and they will come”.

The early RWD Tesla had major problems with drive train failures. May have been due to the high torque on the single motor. It appears they strengthened the system; plus AWD lessened the strain on the single motor. The Lucid HP must be a strain on the drive train. Hopefully, the engineers will...

Personally, I like using a pin to start my car. I have that choice active in my Tesla. Teslas have been stolen by individuals who had sniffer software on an iPad that allow them to clone your key fob signal. There are security videos of cars stolen in this manner. Thief walked around home until...

Typically due to battery degradation, an EV loses approximately 2% of range each year during the first 3-4 years prior to leveling off. It is sad to hear that @hydbob stated range at 100% charge currently is 445 when his Dream Performance is rated for 471. His degree of range loss is well...

I would be very interested if there is any truth to the range improving over a period of time. This is opposite from everything I have known related to the battery performance. The battery range is best on day one with battery degradation leading to reduced range over time. The range reduces...

Alex mentioned the tight fit of the mini Tesla Tap. He found the areas that were binding and sanded those spots. Subsequently, the mini goes on and off without difficulty. You might message Alex for more information if needed. @Alex also has the non-mini version of Tesla Tap and it does not...

When deciding on Touring or Pure, it has been stated that the RWD and AWD Pure will have the same HP. I wonder if the range on the AWD Pure will be less than 406. For that reason, I upgraded to Touring before the price went up. Get AWD with more HP and predicted range over 400. Wikipedia...

Is this good enough? Smallmouth on Dale Hollow Lake, the site of the world record smallmouth.

My 2016 Tesla has prepaid connectivity that includes a music streaming service called Slacker. Being an ole fart, I enjoy the Slacker channels for the 60s and 70s. For those of you who have experience with Apple Music, Spotify, and Tidal, how would you compare them? Do all three have nice...

I also was at Oak Brook today. Got really lost. That center is a maze. Should have paid better attention to my parking location. Took a while to find my car.

I had a flat on my Tesla in which the tire has a similar foam band running along the inside wall. Local tire company removed small portion of the foam and placed patch on inside wall with plug continuing through the screw hole. I know this voids the 168MPH rating but I will never go that fast...

Think twice if you consider allowing Lucid to pull the funds directly out of your account. Tesla accidentally pulled the payment for several vehicles TWICE. The purchaser got an overdrawn penalty and had to fight for an extended period before refunds were issued.

This is absolutely wonderful news. Everyone owes hydbob a big thank you for answering this question for all of us. I plan to get one ASAP after my car arrives. BUT, I still plan to keep an extra full size wheel/tire in my garage as a quick replacement for any damaged tire. The EZ-Spare will...

Please let us know if a compact spare will fit.

In an earlier thread, a couple of the Dream owners (hydbob?) reported poorly hung trunk lids damaged the paint where the lid contacts the lower body. You should watch for that damage. It appears that lid has design problems.

In the Tesla, the 12V battery is used to sense the key fob and run through a check of all systems prior to initial start-up. Without the 12V , the system would not be OKed to allow access to the main battery. It is critical to the system. When it gets weak, warnings are displayed very early to...

This topic came up previously in other threads. Several current owners use Tesla wall chargers with the Tesla Tap 80amp minis and state they work well. I plan to use this adapter at home with my Tesla wall charger and take the mini on the road for Tesla destination chargers.

It has been said that full size spare will not fit in the frunk. When a compact spare becomes available from sources such as Modern Spare, might it fit in that frunk?? Comments from current owners!

I have a 2016 Model S and have experienced three tires damaged on the road, two slow leaks and one bad blow out. Depending on a Tesla ranger is a pipe dream and Lucid will be even worse if you live in the heartland. Everyone should purchase an extra wheel with tire and learn how to change your...
