In uncommon circumstances please consider what those of us who ride off-road motorcycles do upon encountering massive puddles, streams, rivers, etc: get off the bike. Decide whether to submerge your boots or take them off. Walk the route to learn what's there. Decide whether to continue or turn...

If it's a concept then -- the whole purpose is to float radical stuff to see what surprises the design bosses and/or the product managers whose butts are on the line for the risk with the design details they go forward with. At least BMW is awake enough to realize the successful breakouts in...

I definitely notice this too, above ~50mph, mine seems definitely coming from driver's side mirror area. Not horrible but louder than I expect, could be just turbulence but might be infiltration around the gasket. I drove through the forest fires here in Washington -- even with the recirc on...

https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/credits-for-new-electric-vehicles-purchased-in-2022-or-before I'm not willing to assert my $300 "non-refundable" deposit constituted a written binding contract that meant my purchase date was in Aug 2022 so the old rules should apply. My "placed in service"...

There are SO many variables, your situation sounds very different, totally understand your thinking and priorities, seems like you did exactly the best anyone would do. The only suggestion I can think of is getting a dashcam, so the semi's license plate can lead you and insurance company to a...

One time (pre-Lucid) here on the interstate in Western Washington while in the left lane passing a semi, the semi's wheels picked up something that shot sideways and broke a passenger-side rear window on my car. I pulled in front of the semi with lots of room, hit the hazard lights, slowed and...

I did read an IRS memo saying if your down payment was <5% of the contract value then it's not qualified. I committed my $300 deposit on my $84,980 vehicle price, so definitely fails the binding order threshold.

Brad do you own a Lucid and you're just now doubting the big battery path? There's a good case to be made that hauling all that battery mass around isn't the pattern the world should adopt, to save charging time infrequently. I do like the "miles per kWh" efficiency comparison, so the big pack...

I'm in Seattle. Took delivery 3.5 weeks ago on 2.0.71. Last Saturday got notified, did back-to-back upgrades to 2.1.7, then 2.1.10 -- smoooove!

I had to decide this last month. When I finally got the actual complete lease numbers, I determined the interest rate ("cost of money") I'd pay on the depreciation (you need their residual value to determine that) was --- 25.9%. Maybe that reflects the actual risk they're accepting, predicting...

My "dashboard" at Lucid Motors still offers a one-time upgrade to SSP for -- $4,500. I wonder if that will come down, to $3,400 or $2,900 at some point.

Aha -- just found the thread here explaining that. How will I cope with "only" 12 speakers... or 21 minus however many they turn off.

I ordered my Pure in April 2022 (Yessss!) AWD, Cosmos Silver, 19" -- that's all. On June 21st my VIN was assigned. I took delivery today. Thanks to this forum I had high expectations -- and reality is off the scale awesome! The DA Sophea was excellent, picked me up at the light rail station...

Interestingly enough -- the driver I sued was ensured by ==== GEICo. Their adjuster was present in the courtroom. Small claims. That's surprising -- his presence must have cost them at least $150-200. After the verdict he not only greeted me in the courtroom, he wrote me a check in the hallway...

Safeco is on my "never again" list: in the '90's I had an uncommon minor collision situation, both my and the other car were backing up, I stopped, they did not and hit my bumper. Safeco decided I was partly at fault. I read the law and so no, don't pay their claim, I'm suing in small claims...

Until my Lucid Pure arrives within the next 45 days, I'm driving my 2019 VW Golf Alltrack SEL. (Yeah.) The auto-park is incredible: nails the parallel or perpendicular spot every time, steering wheel spins like a banshee, just. works. Glad to read this thread, I won't assume this is normal in...

AWD, Cosmos silver paint, non-pro dream drive, non-pro sound, 19" wheels. I expected they'd put me at the very back of the queue (because low margin) but pleasantly surprised.

I reserved in April 2022. This week I got an email and call from Lucid - my Pure will go into production mid-to-late June, so expect July delivery.
