    Ordering and Delivery: Lucid Air Pure

    Base on my experience of prepping the paint for a ceramic coating, (decontaminating with an iron remover, Nanoskin/clay, medium then fine polish), it's those steps that give you the gloss and reflectivity. The ceramic coat to me is a hydrophobic barrier.

    Air Conditioning not cooling the car enough

    On days I go out for a 4-5 hour bike ride, I park in an open lot with no shade. I have my side and back windows tinted with XPEL Prime XR Plus. Don't feel the need to tint the windshield and glass canopy. I don't use a windshield sunshade and may forget to bring up the rear and back shades...

    ALL TEXAS OWNERS (or future owners) please post on this thread

    John and his crew are awesome, even invited me back on a Saturday, if I wanted to wash my car or detail, he offered the use of products he had on hand. I've never been to such a welcoming detailing/PPF shop!

    I REALLY miss my car 😢

    Indeed, the Polestar 2 is nice, the interior is good quality and is designed in a way that it’s not jarring to move from a junior exec ICE car (3-series, c-class). Time and software updates have made Google integration work well. Definitely not as brittle over road imperfections as the TM3.

    I REALLY miss my car 😢

    My wife's Q5 plug-in is near lease-end. Last Friday on a whim I decided to try out a Rivian R1T. When I pulled up the Rivian specialist said you can't set your expectations for the R1T based on what you are driving. I confirmed to him I came with no expectations but came away impressed for...

    Initial Impressions Lucid GT Stealth in Chicago

    Great review, even dropping off and picking up my kid at school is an event with the Air! Thought the handling was similar to the Panamera and Taycan, even with more compliance. Enjoy!

    install my lucid charger

    @4givingGuy that is too good to be true, I think you hit a bug using the Tesla charger. I use a Chargepoint Home Flex with a 50A circuit, and I'm getting a max draw of 40A, with the Air reporting 39 miles per hour @ 9.7kw.

    Regarding LinerX, they assigned a UPS tracking number for the shipment last week but haven't shipped them yet. Hopefully soon, and I'll post some pictures once I get them.

    How effective is your air conditioner?

    Have not had my HVAC serviced since I think it's cooling the cabin down in a reasonable time. Just the first car I've had that directs cold air to the defroster vents first before the main vents. After having been out all day in the Houston heat, the climate control continues to operate per my...

    Anyone who has not done PPF/ceramic coating?

    I was back home overseas and a pickup sideswipes our left front fender. Video from the shop shows the PPF takes all the the damage!

    How effective is your air conditioner?

    After leaving the car in an open parking lot for three hours, as expected, the AC automatically sets itself to the fastest fan speed. However, the air seems to be directed to the windshield. It doesn't take long for the cabin to cool down though, and once the fan speed automatically lowers...

    He mainly talks about the differences between the GT and Touring, and I didn't know they used the same OEM as Porsche for the EPS! <iframe width="560" height="315" src=""

    My SO was along for the delivery, I didn't ask and the delivery specialist got another cap. Maybe if my kid was there we would have gotten a third? 😂
