Right, but what about battery drain?

In the case where the car is parked, unplugged, at the owner's home - I suspect a common case - how would you protect against the telematics module etc being awake all the time? Nowadays an academic point of course...

Would that the Air had UWB antennas. Perhaps Gravity will.

Right - surely there is some kind of API from the vendor that could either be proxied by Lucid or some legal agreement signed, and the client could just do its own rendering via the annotations MapKit API, rather than relying on Apple's POIs. Anyway, I'm not in this world, and it sounds like...

Could they get around this by using their own database of chargers, and managing their own annotations within the native map view? (I've never used the MapKit API, just speculating)

Interesting! I found animations of all the doors and trunks opening. The model seems to be pared down from the lucidmotors.com 3D configurator (is that still around?) but they've still modeled the stitching on the steering wheel as actual geometry: I have no actual use for this model but it's...

The Spotify native app seems better thought out than the Tidal one to me - if Lucid had written both apps, they'd, I'd guess, be more similar.

What's the black mark on the rim just above the bubble?

To clarify: Tidal supplied the app for Lucid infotainment? Or was the app written in-house at Lucid?

Improving over the past few years, but still generally terrible. I need to drive a couple of the major arterial highways daily, and it's imperative to memorize the locations of potholes. Ramp/merge areas are particularly egregious, perhaps because repaving those would require extremely...

It's not about the cost, it's about the time and hassle required to replace tires and/or unbend wheels when something does happen (as it has a couple times in the past on smaller wheels on a lighter car). Otherwise I'd certainly agree.

I think you told me that the 21s ride better but it didn't sink in. Historically I'm quite bad at avoiding potholes...wondering now if the 20s would be an acceptable compromise for warmer weather, and whether any performance difference would be noticeable enough to be worth the hassle...

Quieter and smoother than the 19s?

In recent firmware updates the sound has gotten noticeably better with my SSP. The bass response in particular seems pretty clearly improved. I was underwhelmed as well when I took delivery - now quite happy. It could still use a proper subwoofer, but the car was never advertised as having one...

But there are a lot of people with pied-a-terres in Manhattan that would drive when they're at their other homes.

The Sapphire in the Saks in Manhattan, when I saw it recently, was terribly lit and was being generally ignored by passersby. A real shame since in natural light it looks amazing.

50 amp breaker box connected to a 100 amp line should I ever want to upgrade. I have not yet been inconvenienced by the 9 kW charging speed so I'm going to leave it that way.

Whoops, I got mixed up. I was sitting in the front, @Babyrocko1908 in the back, and one of the Lucid folks driving (with permission graciously given). But I did not get mixed up that the car could have been made even more aggressive.

Wonderful seeing everyone at the event yesterday! @Babyrocko1908 was not exaggerating, @RM-S8's Sapphire is incredible (I was sitting in the back during one of her runs). I can attest it wasn't even on Track mode.

Speed and ambient temperature, I've observed, make a large difference. Last week on a ~200 mile roundtrip I averaged 2.9 mi/kWh - but it was cooler and I was driving with a heavy foot. This week on ~100 mile roundtrip, 4.4 mi/kWh - but it was warmer, and I had a light touch. I'm not accounting...
