    Amazing that so many cars warn you about the garage wall in front of you, when you are in reverse.

    Sapphire, Taycan or E-Tron GT

    Cars rarely make financial sense. If you want a deal on a 1000+ HP car, buy a used Air DE. You want the best sports sedan available, buy a Sapphire. It will be interesting to see what a "used" Sapphire goes for. I had concerns with the Air software, but it kept getting better and better. I...

    Lucid CEO critiques other EV-SUVs

    I don't expect the Gravity software to be anything like the Air. There is 25x the processing power in the Gravity. I expect the Gravity software to be significantly better than the Air. Unfortunately, I do not expect many of the improvements to make it to my #40 DE. I expect the Gravity...

    2nd Gen Rivian R1

    I was told the Sapphire has ~5x the processing power of the DE and the Gravity has ~5x what's in the Sapphire. It will be interesting to see what is Gravity specific and what comes to Airs. Anyone know if all 2024 Airs have a processor upgrade?

    Lucid OTA update 2.2.2

    In 2.2.2 Lane Departure keeps reactivating itself in the Sapphire. The off icon disappears from the dash and it is definitely active. When I check settings, it is shown as off. Cycling the slider to On and Off again, turns it back Off. Otherwise 2.2.2 has been great. Wireless AirPlay in...

    Review of sapphire by MKB

    I’m running a GT 4 Supra currently. It is a pretty expensive car to run. Building a street production Supra to run in a General Production Class. The GP will be cheaper to run and provide a good training platform for drivers preparing for their first door to door racing. Running in a lower...

    I can’t even get myself to let go of the DE P. 😂

    The Motec would be great, buts adds a weight modifier. 😢

    Review of sapphire by MKB

    I don’t find the Sapphire to be as edgy as an M car. I find the Sapphire is almost both Alpina and M in one car. Alpina like, in smooth mode and M like in Sapphire mode. Yes, I have owned both. In smooth mode I find the ride in the Sapphire to be virtually the same as The DE P. With the edge...

    Review of sapphire by MKB

    Changing from Bluetooth to LF is not just a matter of a new fob. The radios and sensors as well any number of wiring harnesses would have to be redone. Designing, testing, sourcing, and new software would be a significant effort. Attached are some photos of a Toyota Supra we are converting...

    Review of sapphire by MKB

    Sorry got side tracked and posted without finishing. Indication was the system would be using a LF radio like most other manufacturers. LF will allow for a more precise location of the fob. Conceptually will have functionality like current system. Unfortunately this is a hardware change and will...

    Front 21" Tire Shortage

    It’s not about size. The Michelin is XL load rated and the Pirelli is an HL.

    Front 21" Tire Shortage

    Yes on size, but not listed in their fitment guide for the car.

    Front 21" Tire Shortage

    No. Rim was fine. Discount tire only lists the Pirelli as approved for the car. They will not mount a tire that is not in their fitment guide for the vehicle.

    Front 21" Tire Shortage

    I'm running the Michelin 21s and on a recent road trip a day after hitting a pot hole the tire developed a leak right where the bead meets the side wall. I was able to pull off and get to a gas station. Tire was of course unrepairable. Near St Louis. Called Lucid and they sent a tow...
