I believe EV drivers obsess about range and efficiency because EV charging stations aren’t plentiful yet. Nor are they readily available when you arrive, or all that reliable. If EV charging stations were as ubiquitous and convenient as gas stations, we wouldn’t even be talking about this.

Did you mean “Model Y” or “model year”? Given context I’m thinking you meant the latter.

Hmmm…over a year ago I suggested that after every update, one should reset their car by any of the available methods, a la Tesla. Any Tesla owner knew then, and knows even now, to reset their car after downloading a software update. The more tech-savvy types on this forum - I won’t mention any...

If you want brute, grab-you-by-the-scrotum passing performance that compares to a Plaid, you really need to be looking at either a used Air GT-Performance or an Air Sapphire. I own a Sep 2022-build Air GT. Milquetoast compared to what you’re looking for. My priority was maximum range. I came...

Tesla’s after purchase service went from white glove to brusque and impersonal in two years flat. I can mark the decline in Tesla service from the time the Model 3 was released. I predict that Lucid will be no different. We can’t expect any differently. It’s just not feasible to sustain...

I know. I didn’t think there was an adapter available yet, for us to charge our Airs at a Tesla supercharger.

Glad to hear. The updated sound, while beefier, also sounded harsher to my ears.

I just picked the newest thread I could find regarding Highway Assist. Ever since the latest update, 2.5.whatever, I’ve noticed Highway Assist disengaging and then disappearing altogether. I’ve written often of my weekly commute to work. It’s 140 miles each way. I use HA pretty regularly...

I have a “1” in the ninth position. HV battery replaced about a year ago. Sep. 20220-build GT, now with 50K miles. And out of warranty.

With version 1, version 2, version 3 and Urban Tesla supercharging stalls, unless we use the supercharging stall on the farthest left, we will probably have to take up two charging stalls. This is because the charging cord on these versions is not long enough to reach around to the left front...

I just added my credit card to the wallet. Didn’t see anything that indicated that I would be upgrading to anything. All the screen asked was which form of payment I would use - credit card, Apple Pay, etc.

And thank god for that. I couldn’t dream of driving my car any slower than that.

We used to own a March 2017-build Tesla Model S75D. No air suspension, just the normal coil suspension set up. It was my dad’s car until he decided to give up driving. I remember taking that car through the windy-twisties of San Diego County’s back country. The car played along, but only...

Those are my numbers too. GT over here, with 19” wheels. Southern California.

Apropos of almost nothing in your typically very informative post, I think Eric Bach is the hot daddy of the Lucid engineering team.

I like your very last sentence the most.

A sizeable minority on the Facebook Lucid Owners Group are whinging about the Gravity’s looks, talking about “it looks too much like a minivan!” A few are threatening to cancel their order. If the Gravity fails, it will just be another indication that enough American drivers place a higher...

At 49,800 miles as of this morning. I’ll fall out of warranty on my next drive to work. Bought the car in Sep. 2022. Two years and four months of ownership. I’m not worried. I expect my Lucid to be every bit as reliable and largely problem-free as our previous Teslas.

Ah. Different from what I was told this time last year, that I would be getting “a brand new battery”. I pressed the point with the Lucid service advisor I was working with at the time in Costa Mesa. I asked him to confirm that it was a brand new battery I was getting. And he blithely did...
