I was with Hartford for a long time. When I called them to add the Lucid to my policy, they said they would not cover it. I also thought I heard from the agent that they don't cover Tesla either. Long story short, I got a policy with Progressive. Then I cancelled my home insurance with...

Just finished a drive from San Diego back to Las Vegas. Did a charge at Barstow on the way back. Range said I had 91 miles left at my destination but routed me to the Baker EA station anyway. I obediently followed and did a 10-minute "splash". Left Baker with 71 miles left at destination...

I was charging at a station in the San Diego area off Penasquitos Drive. A technician was working on one of the units and had this to share with me. I asked how would I know if the 350kW chargers were the old generation or the new? He said to check ALL the charger at the location online. If...

Mahogany Smoked Meats in Bishop has the best beef jerky on the planet. Their other stuff is also pretty terrific.

Appreciate the nod, and also appreciate the info on Mp3tag. I use it but didn't know I could sequence with it, too. Will do some testing. I've learned so much on this forum and I know that I appreciate the Lucid Touring more because of all the information that I've found here.

You can "merge" the 4 movements into 1 file so they will play in the proper sequence. I saved Phantom of the Opera (sounds great in the Lucid BTW), the entire 2 CDs in sequence, so now it plays the entire volume as 1 song.

I meant 15 minutes to replace the receptacle only.

If one is not comfortable with doing it yourself, definitely hire an electrician. Be aware that it takes a knowledgeable homeowner about 15 minutes to accomplish this, an electrician most likely even less time, so don't get gouged by a ridiculously high estimate. Look for a torque wrench or...

Doesn’t make sense to cheap out on a $50 receptacle when we’ve spent $100K on a car. The math doesn’t add up. And replacing the receptacle is easy since the hard parts (breaker and wiring) are already done. Just need a new receptacle, cover plate and a 1/4” torque wrench. Remember to switch...

I scraped the bottom of the Lucid twice, and then I bought a set of rubber ramps from Vevor. I bought a 2-piece, then added a center piece to cover my entire driveway. Bridjit also makes what look like identical rubber ramps for about 50% more, because they are made in the U.S. The pieces are...

You are good to go! You must be British for the Al spelling lol!

Tongue bit! Hubbell does say CU only but in very small letters lol!

Excellent! I would add: Do NOT let your electrician substitute aluminum wire. Although it is allowable by NEC, the lugs on your EVSE will probably be too small and you may void your EVSE warranty.

If you're washing once a week, you definitely need to protect the finish. Old timers (like me) and car show guys swear by Meguiar's Yellow Wax. Their latest product is Hi-Tech #26. I've since switched to Ctechniq C2V3 (suggestion from my younger neighbor who is a car nut). Seems to last well...

I have a 3-car garage so I installed an Autel 40A to cover the two-car bay. I checked to ensure the length of the Autel charge cable was sufficient. For the single-bay, I installed a 14-50R receptacle so I can use the Lucid mobile charger in case I wanted to park the Lucid there. I'm sorta...

Bobby, Here's my short stab at it for starters. Others please chime in to add, subtract or correct. I am using 40A as the de facto norm. Others can add for 48A charging, etc. For 40-amp charging, you need a 50A breaker, #6 Romex or #8 THHN/THWN-2 (in conduit). This is for wire runs of less...

Instructions say 75in-lbs, doesn't say it's the minimum. I'd say torque it to 75, wait 15 minutes, re-torque to 75 and call it good. No need to overthink it.

Almost 100% correct. You can run #6 Romex (not in conduit) for 50A breaker drawing 40A at the charger - or you can run #8 THHN/THWN-2 in conduit. You'll not only save a wire size but #8 is more pliable than #6.

Great idea. I did something similar in my other garage for an air compressor and a welder with full understanding that I would only use one of them at a time.

40 years as an enginerd! Not electrical but had to learn the NEC handbook extremely well. I guess some of it stuck 😆
