    Also, many of those countries aren't much bigger than 180 miles across.

    Interview with Peter at InsideEV - 180 mile EVs are the future

    This. 100x this. The statistics don't lie. The vast majority of Americans drive far less than 180 miles at a stretch. Ever. And the majority of families have more than one car. Range anxiety has always been irrational for most people. Not all of us, obviously. And certainly not most of the...

    Lucid is a Lemon?

    Folks here would be more than willing to help you out if you give us some more info about your issues. What I can say from a legal standpoint is that you want to get a lawyer involved as a very last resort only. Once the lawyers get involved, usually that ties the auto company's hands to the...

    Vacation charging

    My daily phantom drain is basically zero at this point now that I live in a temperate climate. I don't understand why most people worry about it. If I were going away for months, then sure. I imagine I would lose some percentage. But it would likely take more than six months to even come close...

    Oh, I agree. Plenty of people are clearly abusing these chargers. That SF Harrison location you mention is five minutes from my house, so I know all too well. I do think some people may be stopping there on their way from SoCal to up further north. Just because it's a huge station with many...

    Yeah, I try not to judge other people's motives with charging. Some folks really do need 95% or 100% to get to their next destination. I once had to charge all the way to 100% to ensure I could get through Wyoming, even with my Lucid. Of course, I did that at 10pm, when there were no other...

    Electrify America charging free?

    Yep. Preauth happens in so many situations. Hotels, car rentals. All pretty standard stuff. So long as it remains in "pending" status, it's not actually posted to your account.

    Spotted in the Bay Area

    Not hard to believe if someone were to spot one in the wild that it would happen in the Bay Area, given the proximity to headquarters. Could be one of the lucky folks who took delivery. Could be a company car for all we know.

    Rawlinson Reveals Why Tesla Charge Ports are on Left Rear

    I've always felt the proper position is in the front, not the rear. And since I've had so many German cars, the passenger side, not the driver's. But I get why they moved it for Gravity.

    Weighted Steering Wheel for (Mostly) Self Driving?

    Give it time. Lucid is said to be working on "hands-free" HA, to be released soon. It'll use the camera behind the steering wheel to be sure you are paying attention to the road.

    New IOS Mobile App 2.0

    Yeah, definitely not good to be watching the app while you drive. But it does come in handy if you share your car with a spouse, and you want to know at a glance if they're on the way home yet, or still at the office. Or if you suspect someone has stolen the car, you can know for sure if...

    RESOLVED Headlight dark spots

    Ask yourself a simple question. Which is more likely, given the hundreds of thousands of person hours that went into designing every detail of the Lucid Air? That Lucid purposefully created headlights with dark spots a) simply to annoy you. Or b) for safety / courtesy-to-other-drivers reasons...

    RESOLVED Headlight dark spots

    Um, let's not draw the line at voiding your warranty. Let's draw it at blinding oncoming cars. Those spots exist for a reason. And it's a very good one.

    AI Discussion?

    Design is not drawing a pretty picture, though. Is my point. It’s not as if a designer just draws whatever they want and then some other group makes it happen. Design is a long, slow process of compromising. All the way down to the manufacturing stage. All of their concept drawings, even the...

    Lucid Mid Size

    It's worth noting that Lucid already revealed a sneak teaser pic of midsize. It looks nothing like any of these. It's a dark photo on purpose, but you can see from it the general shape.

    AI Discussion?

    Anyone can make a pretty picture of a car. Whether or not that car is practical in the real world as a shippable product is another universe. Not car ends up looking exactly as some AI concocts it. There are thousands of compromises that go into making sure the car can be made safe...

    What's Next for the Lucid Factory?

    AMP-1 can definitely run multiple models and trims on the same line. I was told that specifically. And they'd be thrilled with shipping 250k+ cars in a single year in the next five years. Air will always be a niche product. Gravity will sell double or triple Air. The vast majority of Lucid's...

    What's Next for the Lucid Factory?

    If you've never been to the factory, you should know, it's huge. Like, insanely huge. I don't think they're going to need more space anytime soon. If they do, they'll build it. But I think the entire expansion plan included having the space for mid-size.

    Electrify America charging free?

    How can they charge you idle fees if they don't have a card to charge? You can take this to whomever you like. You're going to get laughed at. Lucid is by no means changing the end date of your agreement. You will get your three years of free charging. They simply need a way to collect money...
