No, not a bad thing. GPS is better in most ways, but old-school map reading is a good skill to foster and practice.

I'm old enough to remember when nav updates required buying a new Thomas Guide...

Infinity had a variation of this back in the mid/late 90's on the Q45a. It was amazing performance for the time, but it was finicky and prone to failure, and expensive to develop and install and service. Their implementation of it didn't age well. The tech has advanced for sure. But today...

With his teddy bear demeanor and disarming smile, who can blame them?

I'm going to chalk it up to the Irvine Company. They have a thing for silly property rules that borders on irrational.

My service advisor at Costa Mesa, so take that with a bit of salt.

Agreed (mostly), and I knew that was a potential issue going into it. It's all engineering compromises. Ride quality vs. handling vs. noise vs. durability... the design requirements may have also had some conflicts built in that they couldn't fully resolve. Oh well. They've almost lasted through...

It sounds like the shortage is due to Pirelli releasing an updated design for the 21's in the coming weeks. Fingers crossed...

I like the effect of the wrap over the decal! Very cool!

That plus how it doesn't affect the function are important details. Thanks for clarifying.

To paraphrase the 2nd Lego movie: This car's gonna get stuck inside your- This car's gonna get stuck inside your- This car's gonna get stuck inside your HEEEEAAAD! (All those in the know can thank me later. 😂 )

I suspect this is an artifact of how Tidal changed their subscription structure to roll HiFi and HiFi Plus into one tier. I used to play the 360 files without issue (amazing BTW). Now the subscription just shows HiFi in the Lucid and I get the error notice. Lucid may need to update the Tidal app...

I somehow missed pics of @TakeDuo and his lovely family, who drove up all the way from SoCal! I'll get you next time!

Can someone point me to an article or datasheet or white paper that is an apples to apples comparison of a given width, aspect ratio and rim diameter, with a fixed weight rated tire (i.e. "99"), in XL and HL designations? The weight rating number is clearly and universally defined. The...

In the dictionary, under sycophant, it has Sandy's picture.

Kidding aside, agreed, that could be a useful yet rare case. But I'm pretty sure the ancillary 12V systems in the car pull more than USB-C PD spec allows. Best case PD today is 240W. There would have to be a serious rethink of the power management in the 12V systems to make this feasible.

So... 100W max USB-C PD rate as the standard when the Air was released to production, 112kWh battery, accounting for losses and vampire drain... carry the 2... You could charge the car in a very reasonable 4-8 months, assuming you didn't ever check on it or wake it up. Not bad!

Near Calero Reservoir, south of San Jose, just after a rain:
