To call Porsche and MB “niche marketers” is pretty funny - they are the farthest thing from it. Lotus is niche. Koenigsegg is niche. Porsche and MB have full product lineups, massive sales, and legions of customers - the opposite of niche.

This may not be the issue, and I definitely didn’t think it applied to me when I tried to program my Tesla, but nevertheless it was exactly what my problem was - put a brand spanking new battery in the remote and try again. I was having exactly the same problem you are describing and my remotes...

The higher end EV companies should really just price the vehicle to include a home charger and installation like Ford was doing to drum up sales. That would take a big unknown(and a potential PITA) off the customer’s plate. Throw in the charger and up to $1000 towards the installation - would...

Looks gorgeous- congrats!

If you have glass coverage, it should cover any glass (except maybe a sunroof) - def worth checking.

How did he propose that you drive to a public charging station if you can’t get your home charger out of the port? 🙄

Reliable and Intercity have great reputations among high end car clubs.

The more I look at that Fathom Blue with Stealth the more I want it.

I think Fathom with stealth is one of the best looking combos I’ve ever seen. It suits the Air perfectly.

Unfortunately the Elon stink rubbed off on the timeline for some of Lucid’s promises and predictions.

Boy if people were unhappy with the 21s on the Air popping or getting sidewall bulges, just wait until 23s and a much heavier SUV, much less the eventual replacement cost. I remember when 17s started coming out and people couldn’t believe wheels were that big. 😜 As far as performance SUVs and...

I’ve had bad luck in general with windshields, mostly because I do tend to follow too close on highways. I dropped my deductible just for glass to $0 - it costs me a few extra bucks a month, but it has more than paid for itself multiple times over. Maybe an option for you?

I guess you can design and engineer new cool stuff all day long and pray that the money never runs out when you don’t sell anything. Maybe having the PIF backing is a blessing and a curse - imagine if Lucid absolutely had to sell cars at volume now or they go belly up with no money backstop - I...

That’s the problem with disruptors - sometimes they disrupt parts of the process so thoroughly that they FUBAR it for all intents and purposes. These companies that act like selling is a bad thing have lost the plot - you still need to be able to sell your vision and sell the vehicles. Leave...

You can introduce the greatest innovations and ground-up engineering excellence every day, right up until you declare bankruptcy. It doesn’t matter what your technology, efficiency, awards, etc are unless you can sell a ton of product to remain a viable concern. At this point the PIF should...

Good find - that is the best exterior color ever - wish I could afford a Sapphire!

ouch….

My wife uses CarPlay all the time - it launches as soon as she turns her car on. Any car without it is immediately scratched from her next new car list. A car that has it but it doesn’t work right is even worse than a car that doesn’t have it. Just because the Android folks are suffering (and...

Tesla’s wall charger for NACS is only $420, and the universal version is $550. I charge at 48 amps with a 60 amp breaker and pick up about 40 or so miles an hour.

Can’t stand Elon and agree there are a lot of good options out there now, but I do love my Model S Plaid.
