    Electrify America charging free?

    Customer Service seems to be a mixed-bag of knowledge. I get varying levels of quality. One guy just laughed and said it was "crazy". I like you get a mustard text bubble though, but I can agree with the statement, as that's my results. It was almost exactly 5 days hold for me as well. I...

    Electrify America charging free?

    UPDATE !!! I was not charged at EA. The Pending Charge on my checking account is finished, sometime within the last 4 hours. Gone. I was not charged the $10.84 either (or thereabouts for the Electrify America charge) and the $50 deposit was returned to me. Hypothesis: Since nothing is free...

    Electrify America charging free?

    I think so. The Electrify America had 3 different types of chargers. One was 50 kWh, many were 150 kWh, and two were 350 kWh "Hyper Charge". This seems sort of like, Regular, Plus, and Premium gas (ha). Anyway, they had different costs for each. I chose the Bourgeoisie 350 kWh rate (at...

    Electrify America charging free?

    Still "Pending" as of just now. I'll let everyone know when it drops off, and how much. My original charge seemed to be $10.84.. or $0.00 When I asked Lucid's Customer Service, if charging was free or not based on my VIN, they weren't sure, which is a fun adventure.

    Tired of lack of Android support

    I've been a very passionate driver and vehicle enthusiast since the day I could drive, maybe before. I've never known a car that has this level of acceleration and handling; some came close. Lotus does a slightly better job at road feel, but acceleration is poor-ish; and their bug-a-boos and...

    Tired of lack of Android support

    Honestly, the Android Auto / Apple CarPlay thing doesn't matter much; here's why: My Cadillac CT6 (sold) had a Navigation as Native (through a USB map update) on their "CUE" dash system, or you could burrow-into the Native OnStar App in "CUE" and there'd be MORE Apps, one of which was Nav, or...

    Tired of lack of Android support

    True! Now we need to demand BlackBerry OS Navigation as well, or so I can at least hook up my Palm Pilot VII and Commodore 64 with the 1541 floppy disk drive! I wouldn't be sad if an 8-track tape was a Surround Sound Pro ++ option, or Minidisc.

    Electrify America charging free?

    Agreed. People leave their houses unlocked all day. In North Dakota, the True Value store wanted to deliver a washer/dryer set for me I had purchased but I couldn't be home because I was working. They just come inside and set it up for you and leave. I left them Tollhouse chocolate chip...

    Electrify America charging free?

    Correct, borski. HOWEVER. I'm using a debit card attached to my primary checking account, not a credit card. It functions as one. USAA disallows those funds, so in essence it does not exist as funds I can use. If I had $60 in my checking, I'd only be able to use $10 of it. Where I'm from...

    Electrify America charging free?

    It's been 96 hours. Still $50 pending charge. Taking bets on how many days. Hopefully, Electrify America can validate the charge station's well-being and return the deposit! Maybe they'll fix this charger to provide 350 kWh instead of the 64 kWh I got? Time will tell. Honestly, someone...

    Weak LOW end bass and rattle in front end

    Yes, the App only affects a signal coming off your bluetooth device (phone); however you can stream SiriusXM, Tidal, Pandora, Waze, with your login account. All signals will be reduced to stereo, however, and not Dolby Atmos. Personally, I don't find Dolby Atmos to be useful in music. I have...

    Weak LOW end bass and rattle in front end

    It sounds like the balance is shifted all the way to the front of the car and not centered? Mine sounds more like a 1960's transistor mono-speaker radio though and the bass sounds like a pencil hitting piece of paper.

    Weak LOW end bass and rattle in front end

    TL;DR EQ sucks, speakers are good, get a 3rd party App bass-booster. The car seems to suffer from lack of bass. Some have put in subwoofers to compensate for the lack, with reasonable results at a high cost. My observation is not the hardware but the software, in particular, the Pilot...

    Electrify America charging free?

    As usual, I'm going to have to agree with you on this one. Gas stations in my area don't do this, however, but I've seen this in several cities in California, and also Chicago, and Manhattan. None of the other ChargePoint areas here also don't do this. Some charging used to be free here too in...

    Electrify America charging free?

    That's true, but there's a monthly up-charge of $7/mo for the Pass+ plan. You also are treated to that $50 Security Deposit fee regardless, I guess in case you ran off with the copper cable or put "Lucid Rulez the Schoolz" graffiti on it or something? I guess if you didn't have a home-charger...

    Electrify America charging free?

    I was told by EA it should be refunded in 48 hours as a Security Deposit for some reason, which charged your Lucid account. I don't think Lucid is behind this because people were complaining at the EA charger I went to and there was a Ford Mach-E and Nissan Leaf that also complained about their...

    Electrify America charging free?

    Never saw that, myself, but then again I bought used. I noticed on Electrify America forums, people are fussing over the $50 holding-charge security-deposit at this location, and that the charging rates are not as-advertised (a common theme). Some folks buy smaller EVs to save on costs and $50...

    Electrify America charging free?

    UPDATE! So I talked to Customer Service on a whim (and got through, so I'm going to play the Lottery later) The $50 charge is a safety deposit fee like in a hotel that should be refunded within 72 hours. Be advised my free 3 year charging ended as it's a 2022 model. The $10 charge might or...

    Electrify America charging free?

    Okay, here's my results for a first time "in the wild" charging. I did a search for Electrify America using the Lucid Nav system and selected the only Electrify America location in Colorado Springs. The car immediately began a Preconditioning (battery warming) state enroute. Temperature outside...

    Yep. Turns out 2 of the tires had small leaks and had to buy two, but yes, I got them.
