My cousin picked up his Tesla Y on Dec 2020 for $62K (after tax). Put in 30K mile. Sold it last week for ....$62K.

Going by what my neighbor said, it's the best car he's had, but couple problems still hinder the experience. None affect the daily driving: - Software take 20-30 sec to boost up in the morning - Door handle sometime takes 5-10 sec to present - UI lagging sometime - 3-5 sec to change from nav to...

With the way oil price goes, the Saudi is just getting richer and richer. Marketcap of Aramco increased $900B YTD (just passed Apple!), and that's just one of the investments that the Saidi own. Financing Lucid is unlikely a problem for them. Moreover, from the last earning call, seems like...

SoCal - $6.60/gal for 95. Costs a small fortune to fill up my Escalade ESV

I want that set of wheels

They started making Touring/Pure for validation purposes...

From Bear Workshop today (5/2), looks like Lucid have some Pure/Touring (with solid metal roof) already in place for testing ...

If you live in California, try wawanesa. AAA wanted $2600-3000 for my Tesla MYP (depends on coverage), already good driver & multi-entities discount. Wawanesa charged me $1400/year 100/300

Car sites like Carscoops or Jalopnik take the original article from Business Insider and spun it out of context. And most people never bother (or don't want to pay) to get to the original article from Business Insider. I thought the B.I article was fairly accurate & positive (I have a relative...

I talked to a new owner at EA charger in Fashion Island, as much as he loves the car (look, handling, material quality), it was the bootup and door handle malfunction that drove him nut. Seems like this is a common problem, and perhaps Lucid should get outside help or bring in additional SW...

The crew at the Beverly Hill center (where we ordered) and Torrance (where we test drove) were super nice & very professional to us. I think that's probably also the core value of the company (my cousin works in Lucid engineering and thinks it's a fantastic company. Just that when we took our...

We did a test drive in Torrance studio a few months ago, on a pre-production car, though the drive was good, the software experience was pretty awful (door, AC, entertainment...). We were told these were issues that would be fixed in production cars. When we stopped by the FashionIsland studio...

How many people were in the early days of Tesla ? Ramp-up is hard - even for existing ICE makers (see GM, Ford ...). That said, delivery is not linear. If they were able to deliver only 5 cars/day a month ago, and 10 cars/day last week, and 12 cars/day now, then few months from now, you...

You can't make this up. Guess what who being used as background image (with Elon on stage) about the early day of Tesla ? It's Peter - the CEO of Lucid now.

With 12 years headstart, even Tesla still has manufacture mistakes. With the latest delivery of the Tesla X, quite a few got .....different tire brands between left/right or front/rear. Unfortunately, too many fanbois defended this as "normal". Couple of people also got their Y without...

I think you can't go wrong with either Lucid or Tesla - along with Rivian, all are fantastic EVs and offer superior "EV experience" compared to ones from ICE makers. As a current Tesla owner (and waiting for GT and R1S), couple of observations: - The FSD is so premature (I had a near head-on...

That is likely correct. We configured the powerwall as a UPS unit, mostly just to keep my servers running - it's not enough to power my house

I have a large solar system (40 panels), and a small power-wall battery (mostly to keep the computers running). Waiting for the Lucid to complete the V2G. Unfortunately, regardless of the solar size, with SCE, if they shut off the power, your electricity is off unless you have a battery. That's...

I slammed on my MYP for few times when I first got it - mostly to show my friends how fast it could easily outrun their Porsche & BMW, and also to tease my wife and kids. Since then, I might storm hard on the accelerator maybe once every few months. Other than that, I drive more like a grandpa -...

My friend just paid $78K for a Rubicon, a well $10K markup above MSRP. Another was luckier, only paid $5K for his marked-up Rav4 hybrid. No one in Socal even complains about the $6/gal gas price anymore - they simply accept it, and people still pay a huge markup for large trucks & SUVs. If...
