    A scary turn

    The BMW performance center at the Thermal club on the west coast or here in Greenville both have excellent program(s). Also, Porsche runs great program(s) at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham. Great instructors and no worries about driving your own car...

    Has anyone replaced tires on Lucid Air?

    I have not had any issues with the Michelins and I'm driving roads with more pot holes than when I was in San Diego. I can't remember millage when I switched for sure, but I think I have ~4k miles on the Michelins.

    I20 Birmingham to Dallas

    Let me know when you can come by the shop in Greenville, SC. I get the referral if you buy one after driving. 😁

    Yes, but adapters for J1772 to Tesla or Tesla destination chargers to J1772 are widely available. I've frequently found Teslas charging at J1772 and Teslas have found me charging at Tesla destination chargers.

    I would bet that Lucid offers an adapter at the same time the Tesla network opens to Lucid Vehicles.

    I20 Birmingham to Dallas

    As they are for all practical purposes the same on the road, the extra range is nice and I didn’t want to put 2k+ highway miles on the Sapphire.

    I20 Birmingham to Dallas

    I20 between Tuscaloosa and Dallas is a bit of a charging desert. There are quite a few stations under construction so it should be easier by the end of the year. This trip would be a real pain with a 200 mile range EV. Not too bad with the Lucid. Notes from recent trip going East to West East...

    Post/share your non-Lucid other car(s)! (ICE-appreciation thread?)

    EV range issues? I can barely go 100 miles on a full tank.

    FEATURE OTA Update 2.1.52

    I’m sure I could call and get it pushed. This is unusually long in my experience. I’m ok waiting and see what happens.

    Electrify America / Lucid App Issue

    I have always gotten e-mails and history for EA sessions. First road trip of 2024 coming up this week, so I will see if there is a change.

    My Charging Journey

    From 120V x 15 amps outlet charging is capped at 1.4kW. Depending on temperatures the vampire draw and loss while charging is about 600W. Charging rate of 0.8kW. With a 14-50 plug 240V at 50 Amps you can draw 9.6kW - 600w or 9kW. Your net is 11x faster. With the Lucid charger on a 100 amp...

    Floor mats!

    Nice. I have the same mats in the Sapphire. Very happy with them.

    Sapphire Order Update

    I have DE #40 and it has been to service or service has come to me a few times, nothing that kept me from driving. The Sapphire has had no issues with 3897 miles. Also, the processor is updated and that helps with the software in general. For instance using my iPhone as a key is much faster...

    The good, bad and the ugly

    All cars have failures. Any metropolitan area it would be more rare to do a commute and not see any cars broken down along the highway than to see cars on the side of the highway. With the Lucid, Phoenix to Las Vegas is an easy trip. 300 miles no stop required. I have not had any problems...

    Sapphire Order Update

    @AirDoll Was there any information regarding the number of Sapphires shipped so far?

    Sapphire Order Update

    Congratulations. The Lucid Air is a great car in any trim. The Sapphire just make it even better. Daily driving mine. Happily there are very few days below freezing here in SC. Tires performed better than expected in the mid/upper 30s.

    Regenerative braking

    A regenerative braking limited warning would be nice to have. I would also like a subtle indicator that shows when the brake lights are illuminated from regen. A pixel or 2 red line below the indicated speed. I only charge to 100% when I think it will be needed on road trips, so probably...
