They really need to start fixing this stuff and get it right. Should be as easy as plug and play. When I tried 3 newer EA charging locations that had 4 charging areas, only two out of 4 worked in each location. How can that even be possible? It will be hard to get large EV adoption for...

So, are you saying your EQS gets better range than your Air or gets better than projected EPA range compared the the Air getting less than projected EPA range?

Maybe, but that is progress - right? Same can be said for all the recent price reductions based on original pricing in 2022 and even earlier this year that affect people that purchased those cars. They are new company, so they are trying to find the right balance, which makes perfect sense...

I would have just gotten rid of Pure RWD and stuck with Touring and Grand Touring. I think RWD is a limited market compared with the AWD sedan market, but then I live in a colder climate. Would have started the Touring around $80k. Love they have option choices now.

Too bad you can’t use an existing account with this. I already have two Platinum plans that include Streaming and would think you could use one of the streaming logins with the Lucid, especially if I use the Lucid Radio ID in place of one of the Platinum plans I already have. I prefer Platinum...

The Flying J by us looks like it got 4 EV chargers, which is great. I just don’t understand why they are not starting with more at these locations. Should be at least 8+ at each location.

True, like you said earlier though, for people that live in a snowy climate, then 19’s are best, unless you want to have two sets of tires/rims. I prefer 19’s, as live in a snowy climate and cheap to get snow tires put on, plus cheaper to replace OEM 19’s too when they wear out. Also - want...

Or get the 19’s if you really want to maximize range - right?

That seems so high, but I think Ohio is a cheap insurance State. I pay $472 ($1000 deductible) a year for 21 Model S LR thru Erie Insurance and was quoted $748 a year for the Lucid GT.

I agree with you that that Touring felt more nimble and lighter than the GT.

Is there no way to set this where it never goes off at home? Could it go off when you go to the store and your wife/dog stay in the car?

Agree with you - especially in the Midwest. Just an example, one place I was at today had 4 EA Chargers and there was a wait. Across the street there were 12 Tesla Chargers and only one Tesla. At least in our area, EA is very sporadic and not reliable. If time is a premium and you travel...

Are you saying the headlights got caked in snow too? If so, how did that affect visibility when driving?

I am not sure Conquest applies to leases now. Would be nice if it does. The wording on their website really is not clear.

The Air GT yes (150 is a stretch), but the other Air’s are on par with the refresh Model S with 19’s and the Model S probably wins in the winter since it has the heat pump.

I take my Model S with me on long road trips (travel for work a lot), as it is my car and my wife would not drive any EV. Lol. So, charging infrastructure and the best range are extremely important to me. Plus, I love driving an EV compared to an ICE car. So much more fun on a trip. If I...

I guess, but that was a different time when Tesla was just starting, as they were the only player in town and EV was just beginning. Much different with competition and economic climate now. Can’t compare to past anymore, at least I would not be as an investor in Lucid stock.

Sounds like a complete mess. Sure wish all these CCS charger were as reliable as Tesla Supercharging. Just not fun having to travel and possibly deal with that, especially if other passengers in the car.

That is too bad it scrapes. Surprised it can’t handle that, as does not look that bad.
