Agreed. Certainly anyone that requires or even highly prioritizes speed and simplicity above all else might want to avoid EVs for long distance travel, at least for the time being. Even despite my complaints and the occasional headache I've really enjoyed adapting to this new style of...

As a Touring owner that's spent close to 20k miles road-tripping across the western U.S. I figured I'd throw in my $0.02. For the record, these are my own opinions, and many of my points have already been addressed by others. TL;DR - I think the Touring is an "acceptable" road-tripping EV, but...

As a Touring owner who wishes they had a GT (wouldn't say no to a DE-P, GT-P, or Sapphire either 😉), I'll share what I feel like I'm missing with the Touring, and if none of those matter to you then maybe it's the better option over the GT. -Range. As someone who does a lot of road trips and...

Haha, I really like that! I definitely felt like I was rolling 1's here. 😆 I think we were getting poor efficiency through Indiana and New York due to the weather. There was a bit of rain and a headwind that was pushing against us, and we were still trying to maintain maximum speed. I...

https://outofspecstudios.com/charging Check out Out of Spec's data. I think their curve was similar to what we saw.

I have the NEMA 14-50 and and 14-30 adapters from Lucid, but unfortunately she only had an L6-30 plug or something similar. Even if we had been able to charge on a level 2 for a little bit I don't think we would have done much better. We might have beaten the Genesis, but we did spend a lot of...

For anyone that doesn't want to watch the video, here's the link to our charging log data. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1shN80-80UcFDVMy6tDFmK6oHgE_CDQLvYdpjqnCC-tM/edit?usp=drivesdk

My video is now live! I certainly won't say it's entertaining, but it's at least somewhat short and hopefully easier to get through than a 20 page writeup. 🙈

I'll have the same data that was visible in the Out of Spec podcast, so I'll be going over that again quite a bit, and I'll certainly share the link to the sheet if anyone just wants to look at the data.

I might just make the main focus of my own video to be a summary of the trip for those that don't want to sift through the 3+ hour videos for the Lucid stuff and discuss the successes and failures along the way. I think the Out of Spec podcast did a good job at covering the main points, but...

I'd agree that this series is essentially an entertaining thought experiment, at best, and not really to rank the cars based on their road trip capabilities in a way that applies to many people. The 10% challenge by Out of Spec does a really good job at highlighting how easily you can road trip...

I don't really have a channel, per se. I'd just be uploading it under my personal YouTube account. I've literally only created and posted one video so far, and it was really just to say I tried it. 😁

Kyle himself, being a huge Taycan fan, says he'd still take the choose the Lucid as the road tripping vehicle of choice. The insane charging prowess of the Taycan makes it as close to combustion as an EV can get currently, but part of the joy of EV road tripping for many is the slower pace and...

Here's the link to our discussions from last night. My sincere apologies for the connection issues on my side. I'll be recording my own video and sharing it later this week to make up for my lack of input. Please let me know what your thoughts on the podcast video are and if there's anything...

We just finished recording the podcast and it should hopefully be posted tomorrow. Unfortunately I was having internet issues for the first 30-40% so I wasn't able to contribute to the entire thing, but I think all the major discussion points were covered. I'll share the link here when it goes...

Thank you for watching and following along! It was definitely an adventure I'll never forget. The Lucid deserves a lot of the credit for keeping us comfortable and refreshed throughout the trip. 1. OoS, at least, has shown multiple times that there is "normally" a usable buffer below 0% SoC...

I think there are certainly plenty of lessons to be learned for both the everyday novice EV driver to the hardcore nerds. Admittedly, a lot of results of the I-90 Surge don't have a lot of direct applications for most EV drivers, but there are certainly tips and tricks that can be useful. The...

I'll do my best to make sure these things are discussed in our podcast later. If there's anything else you or others want mentioned please let me know.

You know I'd be on board for another go, but I'd certainly understand wanting to leave me out if it due to my past performance. I bet the Out of Spec team would happily lend you the car if Lucid was okay with it. If you can assemble a team let me know and I'll ask!

We will be doing a podcast-style discussion soon to summarize and analyze things from our point of view. Hopefully that will help clarify things a bit.
