Personally, the implication that I'm not "a real Lucid driver" is a bit offensive. While I drive a Touring instead of a GT, I'm quickly approaching 40k miles on my car, and I'd say I'm more than familiar with these cars. Again, if you think you can do so much better than we did then prove it.

For the record, I'll be the first to admit that Team Lucid made a few too many mistakes and miscalculations. It's pretty clear with better optimization and charging decisions the Lucid would have been a solid competitor for second or third place. I honestly feel we were going to be lucky to make...

The conclusion is finally here! Lucid friends, have mercy. 🙈

I think we were just better at charging sufficiently on this section of the trip. Those times we had to decrease speed to make it to the next charger cost us some time. Sitting at the charger even longer can be painful at times, but it's worth it if it helps you maintain speed.

Haha, yeah, that's about when I go to bed these days, too. The excitement and power naps are what kept me going, at least. I was surprised at how not horrible I felt once we made it to Boston. 12-14 hours is about my limit before I'm done, but that's definitely been easier with my Lucid. Even...

We're all friends here (at least we should be) right? @Rogue certainly is for me!

It's all good. My understanding is each team will do a podcast-style video breaking down the trip from their perspective at some point, and I'll ensure all the positives are emphasized and noted for the Lucid. While the trip wasn't problem free for us, we were all pleased and impressed at how...

If I'm not mistaken there will be a significantly shorter cut going up after the main series, so you can always just wait for that. Otherwise, you can just watch the last bit of each video to get an idea of how things are shaping up. 😁

Kyle tried. The fact I was there should tell you how desperate he was for a knowledgeable Lucid driver, but in my opinion it wouldn't have made a significant difference, at least up to this point. The circling back in Billings was indeed my fault due to misreading the readout on the charger...

Part 3 is live. Now things are getting exciting!

Sounds similar to what I'm experiencing since installing 2.5. The mobile app thinks my car is still in the parking lot at my workplace where I installed the update, the SoC and odometer haven't updated since then, and none of the remote commands are working. I tried reinstalling the mobile app...

I think we only briefly missed getting up to the max speed, so that didn't set us back too much. It was mostly us being at the back of the line to leave the parking lot (due to us having the longest range) and getting stopped at an intersection or two, as well as not weaving through traffic as...

All I'll say is withhold judgements until the end. Things really start getting interesting in the next episode. 😉

Most likely next Saturday morning, and then the final episode the Saturday after that. It'll be clear early on in the next episode what he's referring to. 🤫

During this section he decided to switch off of Highway Assist and onto Adaptive Cruise due to HA automatically slowing down on curves in the road, which there were a lot of through that section. We felt it was a little too aggressive and wanted to maintain higher speeds as much as possible. He...

If there's a better/easier way to see the data on mobile (Android) I'm all for it. 👀

Here are some photos of the Tuxmats in a Touring with Mojave interior for those interested.

In case you're curious what the Graphite mats will look like with the Mojave interior. I also bought the Tuxmat mats for the increased coverage, and I'll share photos of what those look like when I get them in place later today.

Yeah, I know these crazy long videos are too much for most people, but I love it! I think/hope the plan is to do a shorter video/podcast with each team to try and summarize the race from each perspective. I'll try and post a summary from Team Lucid's POV here after each video goes up for those...

The race is on!
