As a consumer/user I absolutely deplore the trend toward putting every control on the info screen. Sure its much less expensive to do it (okay, I will stop talking in their language, it is much cheaper to produce). But it is hideous. I walk by the Polestar store in the mall many times and...

More like a pinto on steroids. The cybertruck is potentially far more dangerous. Fortunately, I think the volume sales are over (partisans, like those for the Jeep Gladiator, rushed to purchase). Now that the rush is over, I don't think there are many left who want one. The greater fear is...

what was the settlement proposal by the insurance company? Are you negotiating with your insurance company or another party's? I don't see how to respond without knowing the offer.

I recognize that but I think there are much greater differences in the case of the Taycan making a used Taycan a greater risk than a used Lucid.

I was relying on my phone as my key. Then I was going in to replace my phone. I made a mental note to bring the fob with me but mental notes at my age are pretty worthless. So I didn't have the fob with me and didn't realize I might have a problem until they were half way through updating my...

I didn't know they had opened them yet. But too remote with nothing to do while charging for me to use them.

Good for you

I don't have to guess. I live there also. EA Chargers at the Fry's at 32st and Bell; Arizona Mills mall; By the shops at Wild Horse Pass. Hasn't changed in a couple of years.

Or it is a reflection of the company policy that you take it or leave it? I will not drive a car where everything is done and displayed on an info screen to the right of the driver. If Tesla really wanted minimalism, not just cheapism, it would have at least offered an option to purchase a...

I used to drive BMW PHEVs. They did drive nicely but nothing like my EV. But they are a nice alternative for someone who has to do a lot of long distance driving.

I don't understand. You agree that it should be cancelled but want it rolled out better? Which is it?

I agree with you. You want to be quick off the line at a red light but not in a competitive way; you want to be able to pass slower drivers and enter holes in traffic; you are not going to track the car. Be aware that while the Lucid is still essentially the same car, so buying used you are...

sort of. The Lexus ES was a gussied up Avalon. I assume it still is. But Toyota is no longer making the Avalon as an Avalon badge.

I have owned many cars and been on many car forums over the years. Like this one they are filled with fans, haters and everything in between. But one difference sticks out to me: I have never before seen so many compliments thrown at sales associates (I know most brands are sold through...

I believe that Lucid has a governor control on the test drives/. It has an earlier stop on the speed but I don't know whether the governor impacts on acceleration as well.

So the problem could have been State Farm or it could have been the other guy's insurance and State Farm's knowledge of its claims practices.

Everybody has initial quality issues. Modern automobiles are very complex beasts. https://www.jdpower.com/business/press-releases/2024-us-initial-quality-study-iqs I don't think Lucid sells enough to appear in this rating. EVs are not in the ratings anyway but the report does show that...

While AI does have hallucinations, note that in this case it referred to the cameras as part of the 3D monitoring system which was available on the Pure via the Premium option.

What did you end up doing and why?

It is not always a matter of carrying multiple devices but which multiple devices. The phone can and does act as a great key but the fear, at least my fear, would be a phone failure. It is true that a fob battery can fail but that doesn't usually happen suddenly and even if it did, unless one...
