    Yay Hardware upgrade CPU and memory

    While the DE #40 had become very stable over time, the Sapphire with this processor has required maybe 2 resets since October of 23. Wireless CarPlay becomes seamless. After a while you don’t notice the “snappiness”. The UI becomes less notable because it just works.

    90% is never acceptable. It would bankrupt any company.

    Tips to Increase mi/kWh??

    I got 0.3 miles/kWh in the Sapphire and I was not disappointed.

    Gravity Delivery Discussion

    A good friend of mine has Gravity #70. He had key issues. Lucid sent out a tech and issue has been resolved. I had to laugh a little as my biggest complaint when I took delivery of #40 DE Air, were key related. 🤣 I personally am very happy with the Sapphire and have no need of an SUV. I...

    Thanks for bidding. With the new HV battery it really is almost like new. Not perfect of course, but the build quality has proven to be very good.

    20-ish mile range difference between 5 seat and 7 seat Gravity?

    Additional unsprung weight and slightly higher ride height both are impactful. The larger contact patch of course. The tire is multi compound with the center being similar across tires, at least that’s what Michelin says. Would be interesting to know exact percent of each item. I would bet...

    Are We Asking the Wrong Question About Charging?

    Are We Asking the Wrong Question About Charging?

    Looking at a recent charge I got 70.7 kWh in 22 minutes 20-80% SOC. That’s an average of 192.8kW. When the charger provides 100% of what the car asks for, it’s pretty good.

    How Often Will the Air Top Up its Charge?

    If we start the but…why on things that could be better with a software update we will be here awhile and have a wildly different ideas on where the priority should be. 😂

    Are We Asking the Wrong Question About Charging?

    Add 10 gallons of gas to an ICE Hummer and 10 gallons to a Honda Civic is also vastly different. No one talks about adding miles of Gas, because you don't buy miles, you buy gallons. For an EV you buy kWhs. Most gas tanks don't show you number of gallons left is 1/2 tank.... so state of charge...

    Using an Adapter for a Tesla Level 2 Charger

    DC faster charging requires 2 way communication. Lucid is not yet active on Tesla supercharger network.

    Wait is worth it! 21" OE-109 from Duxpur Forged Wheel!

    This is not accurate. The center lock is only for the aero covers. 5 lug nut wheel.

    What if? -- maintaining Airs if Lucid US disappears

    I haven't lost interest in ICE vehicles. I'll keep driving as long as gasoline is available.

    What if? -- maintaining Airs if Lucid US disappears

    The Lucid Air is the best car I have ever driven or owned. I continue to drive C6 427 6 speed Corvette, and a truck, and a 488 Ferrari Spider. I love all of those vehicles. All around the Air is the best. If I could only have one it would be the Air.
