Haha, thanks all. I'm not bald but I'm thinking this won't be an issue for me. (fyi I'm mid-atlantic so it's probably not as bad for me as it would be in Florida or Arizona) I'd probably tint before using sun shades - I can't imagine those don't sag or start to look funny, but either way it's...

Huh, interesting re: Tryon. I guess Lucid must be guaranteeing the vehicle at a certain price then. BofA is not going to want to own a car they have to sell and write down.

I have a Tesla S with the all-glass roof; it's 7+ years old so I don't know exactly what generation of roof it was, but I've never had any complaints about the car being hard to cool or unreasonably hot and/or sunny inside. It is fairly darkly tinted. I've heard complaints on here about...

Agree there is no way BofA is doing more than taking interest and servicing the loan; they are not speculating on used car values other than perhaps as security on the loan. From Lucid's Site: "Lucid Motors manufactures and sells electric vehicles and ancillary products and services. Bank of...

residual would normally be calculated as a %age of the capital cost of the vehicle, not MSRP. Wolfman's point is that you can't pay 544/month for 18 months (total of $9,792) and have it make up the difference between $69,900-41,992 = $27,908. Your actual capital cost was far less than 69,900...

Yeah… off msrp. Looks like they’re discounting the sale price very heavily too. Agree that 55-60% is a market residual on a 36 month lease, but usually when you’re talking about residuals it’s as a %age of capital cost. I guess leasing this way and heavily discounting helps prop up msrp for...

Residual values are often expressed as a %age of the purchase price of the car. The leasing company is buying the car for $X dollars. At the end of the lease, the leasing company is setting a value $Y dollars that everyone is agreeing the car will be worth. In a lease, you are essentially...

It's not necessarily a guarantee that leasing is better if you intend to buy the car. It is true that you get a $7500 price reduction because the leasing company gets the benefit of the EV tax credit and will apply it to the cost of the vehicle, and you do not as an individual. So there is a...

I have the biggest wheels on my order for now, but I think it's increasingly likely I'll pull back to the midsize for so many reasons: smoother ride lower chance of bent rims tire availability (this is a major point, i don't know how many tires are even available for the largest rim) all-season...

Just stating the obvious here, but: From a purely utilitarian standpoint, the ideal embodiment of a practical vehicle for carrying people and their stuff is a box on wheels - a minivan. It's a shame that "shape" is so unfashionable. I think it's kind of insane that people buy things like...

It's not high. Watch any of the videos that just came out - the Out Of Spec Reviews might be a good one to see it. It's described in multiple videos as being very low - ie top of kneecap low. I know that's not a universal unit of measure, but it's much lower than a typical SUV would be.

I'm very sad that the rumored Dec. 9 embargo appears to have been no more than just a rumor :( That said, I can't believe that a serious in-depth review could possibly be shot, edited, and released in a week, esp. if it's the kind of in-depth stuff we'd typically see from Throttle House and...

I may be one of the few who is happy for NACS mainly for the reason that I have a tesla charger at my home already and don't need to do anything to change that. I am planning to keep my Model S and it will be nice to be able to plug either car in on the same charger without any adapters.

I guess sanctuary mode is kind of an interesting little trick, but to me it's more like "emissions testing mode" in my Tesla - something kind of neat and funny but probably didn't take too long to "engineer" and is not the kind of thing the vast majority of people are going to use more than once...

I obviously mean CONTINUE to do those things into the future. (and i could use a service center that is less than 1-2 hours away from me traffic dependent, and I do live in a large metro area) You guys are awfully confident, and I sincerely hope you're right, but the company is burning lots of...

It does matter to owners that Lucid survive and thrive as a company, so that they can open more service centers, honor warranty claims, supply parts, provide software updates etc. I personally don't think it's inappropriate to look at the set of facts and have some worries.

RE: bike racks: Fair point. That does bring up another question for me though - I haven't seen any allusions to roof-mounted racks on Gravity. They definitely weren't in the configurator, nor do I recall much discussion about them in these forums. But I did see a handsome roof rack on an Air...

I can't imagine a world where I would tow in my Gravity, and I can't imagine it having much if any impact on resale value, so I'm comfortable leaving it off my build. I actually don't really see why towing is considered a big deal in EVs. I assume towing absolutely crushes range, making it...

I agree, I am not a fan of black wheels. Grey can be nice if done well - it's not clear how black the Stealth wheels are from the configurator. But I don't like straight black under most circumstances. There's a chance they are more grey than black, but it was tough to tell. I might have...

I agree that the colors are very muted. Lucid seems to have a very restrained color aesthetic in general. I'm sure it's actually just very refined and I'm too much of a neanderthal to appreciate it all, but I want some colors that sing a little louder. I almost really like Zenith Red, and it...
