My wife wanted heads up display, 360 camera as well as most range. So ioniq 5 rwd limited was the only choice for her. See the range she gets highway and local combination.

Ah. That is a good move. I think the current mix is good for the large sedans. Pure RWD only, Touring cheapest AWD optional glass roof, GT optional glass roof and super high end fast cars. I wonder how ioniq 6 sedan is selling vs ioniq 5 SUV. Model 3 is selling much less than model Y.

I guess they could offer GT without a glass roof. It will send a mixed marketing message if there is a 520 mile range Pure.

My wife's ioniq 5 Limited RWD has all the features of GV60. She totally loves it and the extra range made it possible for her to drive to LA with 1 charge stop. Not possible in GV60. She would have loved Gravity but could not wait.

Actually the top of the RWD ioniq 5 was 55k vs GV60 top of the line AWD 60k. The reason we got ioniq 5 was she wanted more range and a bit more cargo room.

On my Pure AWD, the battery is currently at 67% and it predicts 274 miles. That means 100% is 408 miles which is pretty much EPA range. It has always been that way which is meaningless. If you navigate using Lucid NAV it predicts a battery % on arrival which seems much closer. This is because...

As others mentioned here. Tesla will face a price war on the Model 3, Y from many newcomers from China. Model S, X have plenty of competition already and Musk did not help himself by opening up his chargers to all and lost his only real advantage. So, I expect Tesla PE to be no more than Apple...

Correct. My wife was driving it till Dec 2023. Now I replaced it with ioniq 5 RWD Limited. She loves it. I still have my fully loaded Toyota Sienna Minivan 42k new now 127k miles and I paid 700 to replace the infotainment with Pioneer AA/Car Play and added bluetooth. The builtin nav became...

You can pick up ground from a water pipe near the washer. That is better than ground from a GFCI outlet.

I drove from Montreal to DC in Nov last year very cold weather 19" Pure AWD HA set to 72mph, heat set to 68. Drove solo. Gor 3.7 miles per kWh. Ambient temp was 35 to 45. No snow.

Or the battery behind the charger is low?

If we are in a critical situation one other choice we have is to slow down to increase the range. The other choice is to carry the adapter and charger to stop and charge at 110v. Desperate situation calls for desperate measures. Once my wife's car battery died at a CVS near my house. I just took...

The other bad thing is one of the "open" chargers is L2.

However back in 2006 if you paid 80k to buy a Lexus ls430, the nav became obsolete in 4 years. I had to pay to upgrade the infotainment system with pioneer AA carplay for 1k.

Nah! That was just one time. Since I retired in 2012 I drove total 60k miles in 12 years.

At some point 4g lte will not be available. At that point I would not mind paying lucid to upgrade the module and other boards. Just as we paid to upgrade old desktop computers, we should be prepared to upgrade if it makes sense financially and the price is worth it

Not just lucid. All the cars these days have so many sensors and one time use parts. Any minor incident can lead to expensive repairs. Insurance rates are therefore going up a lot.

I used only plugshare and ea app to drive from SF bay area to Chicago to Ottawa and Montreal to Washington DC to SF bay area via Albuquerque, flagstaff 8k mile total. I planned charging stops based on lunch and coffee breaks. Only in 1 place I used chargepoint using chargepoint app. Sometimes if...

Sometimes the charging history in my lucid app does not show the last charge even if it was PnC. One station started and stopped. I charged with PnC at another station there and the app does not show that charge.

It happened to me yesterday. Authenticates starts and stops. It did the same for a BMW. However it did better with ioniq 5 but also stopped. Perhaps the very hot weather. Other stations were fine.
