Also really looking forward to V2H capability. ERCOT in Texas just announced that they'd resort to rolling blackouts again if we get another deep freeze, and last time it happened we were out of power for 5 days in sub-freezing weather (and it's not like TX homes are really built for the cold)...

Just thought I'd follow up since I've had the car about a year since this thread started. Creep mode doesn't work like an ICE car, but now that I'm used to it, I think it's fine and I totally understand why it's implemented the way it was. That is, I love one pedal driving now with "Hold" and...

I thought the same thing: I had the "signet surge" issue on an outbound trip, and on the return the same charger just refused to charge at all. So came on the forums to see if there were any maps that say which charger models exist at which EA locations. But then I hit another thread here (would...

Not sure why Internet forums always seem to devolve into this kind of "shouting past each other", but I think that what you and vaznayak said regarding speed is basically the same thing: traffic conditions largely dictate your speed. That is, in Texas, there are large stretches of highway where...

Thanks for everyone who recommended these sunshades. Got mine today - they're great, and make a big difference in the Texas heat. Super easy to install/uninstall, and they look great.

Obviously there will be tons of changes in the charging space in the coming years, but regardless of your thoughts toward Tesla (or Musk) you really have to hand it to them to see how prescient (and correct) they were in realizing how critical charging infrastructure would be, and building out...

I got my car ceramic and ppf coated with xpel. I second the recommendations for the Xpel ceramic boost and I also use the Xpel detail spray (though, if anything, can't really tell the difference between them or why I should use one or the other - ceramic boost alone works great). For regular...

Found this thread after having a less-than-stellar experience on a road trip from Austin to Galveston. The issue on my trip was an EA charger that flat out wouldn't work (worked ok on the way there, same charger flat out failed every time on the return trip, though other cars could charge...

> This doesn't sound like much of an issue to me. Perhaps, and to each their own, but I'd be willing to bet your opinion is a tiny minority. A trip that should have taken 4-4.5 hours took 9. I think another commenter here put it best "I don't have range anxiety - I have charger anxiety." Most...

Want to shout out to Josh in Houston. We hit some Electrify America issues at a station just south of Houston, and Josh was really great and saved us from getting stranded. Snafus are never fun but great customer service can really remedy the situation and then some, and Josh did that.

I have a Lucid Air GT. I love this car, but unfortunately my experience with charging does not match yours, and honestly I think the concerns about the issues with non-Tesla Supercharger networks are completely valid. Did my first long road trip on the Lucid from Austin to Galveston this...

Thanks again for these FAQs, I think they're great, and I learned a bunch of new stuff even after owning the car for a while ("How does regeneration strength differ with drive modes?" was totally news to me). I think it would be helpful to have a note about HomeLink, especially that (as of...

I did some searching on this, and while it doesn't seem to be guaranteed, it does seem to be highly likely. I guess my question is that, if the Cybertruck is released with the requirement for higher voltage, does that mean the existing Supercharger network will be as (near) useless to them as...

What a weird article. I thought the interview was good, and the Lucid CEO is making the important point that (especially for Lucid cars) the plug type is secondary, but it's the voltage level that is critical. But then the article author goes on with the non-sequitor that "By adopting the NACS...

Was too late to edit my previous comment, but the final rule from the Federal Highway Administration that requires CCS as the standard (https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/02/28/2023-03500/national-electric-vehicle-infrastructure-standards-and-requirements) says this about the Tesla...

This is backwards revisionist history, but it makes me realize how brilliant Tesla was with their marketing/naming strategy. Just rewind to October of last year and there was no "North American Charging Standard". There was just Tesla's private, closed, proprietary technology, while pretty much...

Let's not forget that the "capitalist system" in the US, at least for EV companies, also includes the government giving billions of dollars to companies in the form of tax credits and, especially relevant to this discussion, the $7.5 billion in federal funds for charging networks. But I do...

IIRC didn't one of the latest software updates talk about changes to blocked sensor notifications? FWIW I do have ceramic coating, but I rarely, if ever, get that message in light rain, but I do get it in heavy rain.

Does anyone have a link or example of what the actual problem is, in pictures? I read the recall report but it wasn't clear exactly how it was out of compliance, and how the fix will put it back into compliance.

This is an old thread, so just curious if anyone has any second thoughts after disabling lane departure correction. I agree with all the other responses, I find it annoying and dangerous, like a slightly inebriated toddler grabbing the wheel at random moments. I have literally never had it...
