Didn’t a lot of companies adjust from a pure Just In Time approach to more of a Just In Case model after COVID? It’s my understanding that companies increased inventory of critical parts to avoid downtime in the event of another supply chain disruption. In this example, as weighinggravity...

you shouldn’t be hunting and pecking at all - use the apps like and ABRP, use the navigation system, use the websites - there really is nothing hard about knowing exactly where the chargers are and what condition/availability there is before you ever leave your house. Plus you really need to...

My life is a lot less complicated since going electric - charge at home, zero maintenance, full tank every morning - and I drive a lot. No issues at all on road trips all across Texas, and just got back from a 2700 mile round trip to Sedona with absolutely no problems - in a Tesla. The SC...

Get the Tesla Universal wall charger - it has the NACs connector obviously, but also has the universal adapter integrated into the dock. That’s what I went with and now I can charge whatever car I end up with in the future. It’s only slightly more than the NACS only version, and is still half...

Well, Google owns Waze and is now integrating Waze right into their maps, so…..

Pirellis get loud when they wear - aside from the actual tread life, I would replace when you hate driving your silent car because the tires are so damn loud

My Plaid on 19s is rated for 396 miles. If I drive like a normal person I get around 320. If I drive like I drive, I get around 250-275. I’m happy at 300 as I need to stop way more often than the car anyway.

You were definitely in the tiny minority with your Tesla - in 45k miles I have never had the mobile key not work automatically. I think you can bang on Tesla for a lot of things but their software is top notch and super mature, and just works. Of course, they’ve had quite a head start, but the...

I switched my 911 and Cayenne to Porsche insurance last year since both get driven such low miles - was half the cost of Progressive. I didn’t realize they would insure other brands - thanks for the heads up.

I’ve always found USAA rates to be outrageously high compared to others here in Texas. I’m eligible but they were almost triple what I was already paying elsewhere - really shocked me. And I live in their hometown!

Shows what I know 😜

How about this for a thought exercise: 1. Get a lot of reservations, mostly from existing Air owners 2. Go dark 3. Make no cars available for test drives before deliveries - eliminates the possibility of cancellations of orders if test drives are underwhelming 4. Make deliveries sight unseen...

Yeah I think the first try from Porsche and Audi (and BMW)was suboptimal just based on the range - way too low for what you are paying. Lucid’s huge advantage for sure but the rest will catch up.

I’d like to make it clear that I am cheering for Lucid and think the cars are awesome. I do happen to own a Tesla S Plaid and have been a Porsche guy for decades. I hope Lucid can survive and thrive and force all other EV companies to improve or lose.

Nope - but you are forgetting that Tesla was the only game in town and advancing EVs way past Leafs and Bolts, so they could command a premium price. Lucid launched into a crowded market with no name brand recognition, virtually no advertising, almost no showrooms, and priced above almost...

There’s no mystery at all - they started way too expensive for an untested company and eliminated themselves from consideration for 99% of buyers. What will be interesting is how many Gravity sales are to people who do not already have an Air, because they are repeating the same strategy with...

To call Porsche and MB “niche marketers” is pretty funny - they are the farthest thing from it. Lotus is niche. Koenigsegg is niche. Porsche and MB have full product lineups, massive sales, and legions of customers - the opposite of niche.

This may not be the issue, and I definitely didn’t think it applied to me when I tried to program my Tesla, but nevertheless it was exactly what my problem was - put a brand spanking new battery in the remote and try again. I was having exactly the same problem you are describing and my remotes...

The higher end EV companies should really just price the vehicle to include a home charger and installation like Ford was doing to drum up sales. That would take a big unknown(and a potential PITA) off the customer’s plate. Throw in the charger and up to $1000 towards the installation - would...

Looks gorgeous- congrats!
