    Gravity Testing!

    Also good for older folks who can't/don't want to climb out of a sedan. With a next-gen battery pack (better range), I can see ourselves hitting the road a lot more.

    Gravity Testing!

    A shortened, 2-row version is what I'm waiting for. Lighter in weight and hopefully with the next generation of battery technology. Given the motor specs of the Air, the Gravity 0-60 should be well below 5s seconds; I'd say around 3.8.

    My first EA charging experience

    EA service in Vegas is deteriorating. 2 chargers down at Target on Flamingo today. Went to Cheyenne and 3 of 4 are down. 2 of them have the cord ("hose") completely snipped off. Either vandalism or the charger transformer went kaput. Called EA and was placed on hold. Bumped into another...

    NACS (Tesla adapter) versus CCS Megathread

    I don't think this will have much effect on many of us here. A lot of us already have home chargers or 14-50 receptacles for the Lucid charger. By the time my EA 3-year freebie expires, I hope the "standard" will emerge, at which time I will/may buy the appropriate adapter for the Lucid...

    Charger FAQ/Explanation

    Assuming you have 240v, it should charge at max 9.6kWh. I think that equates to roughly your estimate. I've never stayed up to see if the charge rate decreases as you near 80% or 100% SOC. Others can jump in with their experience on that.

    Charger FAQ/Explanation

    Good luck with your install. BTW, when you plug in the Lucid charger, the Lucid logo should light up; if it doesn't, that means you didn't shove the connecting cable into the charger hard enough. Happened to both my BIL and me; we had red faces, especially me since I was the one who called CS.

    I'm Averaging 1 service appointment per month. What about you?

    The good and the bad. My BIL and I both received our Tourings in late December. I have had zero issues other than a broken clip above the driver's seat (headliner, near the "T". Took less than 5 minutes, had it done while tech was servicing my BIL. He, on the other hand, has had the tech...

    Charger FAQ/Explanation

    Meant receptacle should be UL approved, not optional.

    Charger FAQ/Explanation

    Install 50A breaker in the panel, run #6/3 Romex to 14-50R receptacle (UL approved, industrial-rated not needed IMO unless you plan to plug and unplug a lot). Install the bracket for the Lucid charger, plug it in and leave it. Ask yourself where would you ever use it outside your home, like...

    Charger FAQ/Explanation

    Cost difference between a 30A and 50A breaker is less than $10; however, the cost difference between #10 and #6 can be $50 or more. Well worth it for the additional 67% increase in charging speed.

    Charger FAQ/Explanation

    Your questions are a little confusing. If you're looking to install the charger that came in the trunk of the Lucid, there is no option to hard-wire it to your house nor would you want to. Your best option is to install a 50A breaker in the panel, run appropriate-sized wiring (#6 for runs of...

    Charger FAQ/Explanation

    If you're drawing 48 amps out of a 14-50 receptacle, that is a definite no-no. 48 amps hardwired into a charger rated for such with appropriate sized conductors is totally legit.

    Charger FAQ/Explanation

    Per NEC, 50A breaker is the largest that you can use. Maximum current is 80% of that (40A). That’s why the Lucid charger is rated for 40A max.

    USB Media Format

    That reminds me of my 1955 Ford Thunderbird which had a tube radio (yep, pre-transistor days). I would start the car, drive for about 3 minutes, then the radio would blare out and scare the beejeezus out of me LOL! I'll do a test with a USB2.0 drive and report my findings.

    How many gigs of music have you loaded onto the drive and how many songs show up on the Lucid panel?
