https://electrek.co/2024/07/05/tesla-model-s-x-sales-crashing-hiding-it/ Electrek had to reverse engineer the numbers by looking at the Cybertruck recall numbers (thank goodness for that 😉) as Tesla intentionally combined all the sales into "3/Y" and "others" buckets. Looks down 30% while...

I had a Pure reservation, and canceled it before the IRA took effect. Didn't want to risk not getting the federal tax credit (Pure is both above the threshold for pricing and our household income is also too high). Ended up with a Kia EV6 since I could lock in an order in time and it arrived...

Here's to hoping the Air will see a midcycle refresh after the Gravity is out, incorporating the new electronics. That's what Hyundai/Kia are doing for the 2025 Ioniq 5 and EV6 (getting the electronics debuted in the newer EV9) and Rivian just refreshed the R1 too for this model year...

Their other vehicles at least have a consistent design language (though I hate their looks). This is so... blatant, ugh

I am also down on my investment and decided to buy more Rivian and Lucid stocks 😅

Electrek thinks it's the RWD Pure too. As a prospective owner (who got nervous about the tax rebate and ended up going EV6 last time) this is definitely increasing my interest in the upcoming midsized car! Hope the Gravity launch goes well so Lucid can focus R&D on the third car...

You mean overreport?

Oh indeed. I drive my current Kia to be serviced 40 mins away, because the forums recommend this dealer as having competent EV technicians. The local dealer might have gotten better since but I don't really want to risk it (also it's a nice drive and I WFH so it's a nice excuse to leave the house)

They do have a few standalone dealerships up and running - the nearest for me is still around 30 miles away, but I can see a more convenient one being constructed now near Audi and Porsche!

The Audi also has an additional issue in that the monitors are mounted lower than the mirrors would have been, right? Necessitating looking down (compared to, say, the European model of the Hyundai Ioniq 6, that also has cameras instead of side mirrors). Over at the Polestar forum, people seem...

Hmm... no, "Normal" is probably GV60's "Comfort". Same on Ioniq 5 and 6 and Kia EV6, long pressing goes to Snow. I used to think Normal mode engages the front motor all the time, but it actually disengages too (just at a higher speed than Eco). It is also quicker to re-engage if more power is...

Tip for the Genesis: long-press either paddle and it will switch to auto-regen, where the level of regeneration adjusts based on speed and distance to the car in front. Any level but i-Pedal would be remembered, but the i-Pedal mode consumes more energy anyway as it keeps the car in permanent...

Any update? Curious to hear about the experience. I had a reservation on a Lucid, canceled it as I was getting nervous about locking in an order before IRA changes eligibility, and am now driving the Kia EV6 (sister car to the GV60). Averaging 3.5 mi/kWh since end of August 2022, with efficiency...

The link doesn't seem to be clickable, can you share it again? Thanks!

We almost bought there! Will be moving to Vernon Hills at the end of this month

Thanks! I also somehow missed the giant thread about leasing so my bad. I'll be purchasing in IL so leasing is available. Though to be honest I'm still leaning towards financing, just glad to have the option

That's really interesting, the guy at my dealership says Pure is Q1 next year or so. I'd be happy to take it sooner of course

Oh good, that's the one upgrade I'm considering making

I put down my reservation on May 30 and was told Lucid didn't do financing or leasing, so the email yesterday announcing Lucid Financial Services "Available for both loans and leases" is super exciting! Mine is for an Air Pure (though I'm considering upgrading to the Air Turing) so I'm still...

Was in the area arranging our relocation to the Chicago area, and stumbled upon the Lucid showroom - and long story short, I now have a reservation for the Pure model! All the stars seem to be aligned - in Seattle we wouldn't have room to keep the Lucid in our townhouse garage, and we can...
