    Lucid Air Touring cancelled, purchased used GT

    I asked for a refund when I cancelled, they just said no, that was not what the contract said, and they are technically right. I had just bought the used one a day before. Possibly my car was further along than yours, maybe they were already ordering parts or whatever. But even buying a used...

    Lucid Air Touring cancelled, purchased used GT

    I had an Air GT on order, bought a used Air GT instead for $30K less. But Lucid did not refund my $1000. How did you talk them into it? I know it was the letter of the agreement, but they had not even started to build the car yet, delivery was still months away after months of waiting already...

    My first EA charging experience

    That's good news. I will try that station again and post my results. It was awesome twice, then terrible, hoping it is back to awesome.

    My first EA charging experience

    There is an iPhone app called PlugShare. It will show you nearby charging stations and in real time will tell you if they are operating and in use or not. It isn't perfect but better than the EA app.

    First Trip 300 miles: Las Vegas to Phoenix

    Looking at the map of EA chargers, one would think there are plenty of stations at good locations to make a road trip a no-brainer. The reality is the reliability of the EA network (and possibly others) is terrible. It's insane that it is common for more than half the chargers at a station to be...

    Highway Pilot?

    I'm going to experiment with a small pillow in my lap the next time I do a 300+ mile trip. I've done 300+ miles non-stop three times now. The car is brilliant - it's my darn elbow that is messed up. Just taking a little weight off will probably work fine. I do hold the bottom of the wheel most...

    Highway Pilot?

    I would love to have my AGT steer itself on long open highway drives. I find it tiring to hang my arms on the steering wheel for 3-4 hours at a stretch just going straight down an Interstate. Does this feature exist yet? I did not see how to turn it on if it was there. I'm happy to keep my eyes...

    RESOLVED Why does the music keep playing when I stop the car?

    I had to kill the mobile key, as I always have my phone in my pocket and the car would keep waking up as I walked around my house. My office is above the garage so all day I was waking up the car. I only use the fob now, but I had to get in the habit of leaving the fob in a basket in the far end...

    RESOLVED Why does the music keep playing when I stop the car?

    I think this is another manifestation of my car being able to detect my key at longer than normal distances. I posted once how my car keeps waking up as I walk around the inside of my house. Somehow the car can detect the key 30-40 feet away. So that's why the music keeps playing after I walk...

    RESOLVED Why does the music keep playing when I stop the car?

    As I said in the explanation, it is NOT turning itself off. That's why I made the post. Are you saying it will eventually turn itself off? How long should I wait? Seems odd to just let the music keep playing long after I leave the car. I suppose it will turn itself off if I I am out of...

    RESOLVED Why does the music keep playing when I stop the car?

    I listen to music via Bluetooth from my iPhone. It works fine, and with the recent CarPlay upgrade it works even better. But I have a strange problem. When I stop the car, the music is playing - fine. When I press "Park", the music still playing - ok I guess. When I open the door to get out...

    My first EA charging experience

    I was at the Target on Flamingo. All the stalls were working a week ago, but not the last few days it seems. I'll check again this weekend. I struggle to understand why these ever break in the first place. It seems every electrical thing I have ever owned has been very reliable. Imagine a leaf...

    My first EA charging experience

    My first two times charging at the local EA station in West Las Vegas went fine, no problems. But yesterday, I went to the same station when I was at 20% SOC. I wanted to see if the charging speed was faster when my SOC was lower. Unfortunately, out of the seven plugs there, only one seemed to...

    Dead with 10 miles of range

    I do agree with you the car should be indicating 0 miles of range left before it starts refusing to move. Maybe just subtract 10 miles from the range in software would make it more accurate.

    Dead with 10 miles of range

    I'm glad you made it safely to the charger. I see your argument, but it's just the nature of EV's to have no useful reserve. I think a good assumption is if you have less than 40 miles of range left, you are running on empty, and charging is urgent. It's good to keep the battery between 20% and...

    My first EA charging experience

    Don't trust the EA app. Install and use the plugshare app instead. It gives real time availability and user reviews of charging stations. No doubt EA has a lot of room to improve. We all hope they do, and soon.

    My first EA charging experience

    So far EA chargers have worked perfectly for me every time. I just wish there were 10X as many, coast to coast!

    what are you watching right now?

    1899 on Netflix. So far more strange than great, but I'm willing to see where it goes.

    Electric Snobbery?

    I have had my AGT for just two weeks. I flat-out love it. And I've noticed something curious - I'm a changed person! For at least 40 years I have read most of the various car magazines. I tended to read at least some of any article about any car, even say economy cars or trucks or whatever I...
