    Vampire Drain Analysis

    I do series of test from time to time to check performance improvement. These are irrelevant impact, but relevant stats to me. There is no chance I will go out of town 1/2 a year straight and expect to come back home to see 60% loss. Since I park in my garage, cars are protected. Rivian with...

    Vampire Drain Analysis

    I’m not sure legacy autos really do it right. Polestar2 update and notification and their mobile app is not as smooth and functional as Lucid and Rivian. Yes, they may have open/close, remote climate, but takes longest to wake up car remotely and not as rich features as Tesla/Lucid/Rivian in...

    CORRECTION: I meant Lucid Gravity should do very well here in Swiss Alps towns. Range Rover also plenty here as well. As London and Hong Kong, I see endless Rolls Rolce, here in St Moritz just endless European and American SUVs which I havenot seen that elsewhere in Europe.

    Peace out and culture adventure ahead

    At St Moritz, I saw 90%+ cars on the road are either SUV, crossover, minivan or station wagon. Sedan was less than 10%. This also led me to believe Lucid Air may do very well here. Btw, I never seen so many MB G-Wagon in a small city as this city.

    Model S Plaid vs Vs Air Touring

    I don’t know how they make synthetic vegan leather. But I can assure you my Rivian R1S vegan leather feels more real and much better quality seat than all models of Tesla I have driven.
