    "Practical" range on road trips is about 50% of EPA estimate for most EVs

    The Denton to Amarillo leg is lean on chargers, everywhere else you should be good. I take the time to go to 100% for that leg. Don't be afraid to try and charge at dealerships. It can be hit or miss, but I've found most to be friendly and interested in the Lucid. I like to stay between...

    BMW i5

    I think in that range test the BMW was an e40 with the smallest tires and was limited to 75mph. Plenty of people on this site getting EPA from Lucid in those conditions. I agree the EPA test needs to be improved so comparisons are fair. BMW always goes conservative on horsepower and 0-60 in...

    Well here it is Tesla Plaid versus Lucid Air Sapphire on the same day in the same place~ no excuses!

    Stock to Stock 10 laps on any road course it will not be close. The Sapphire's systems are much more robust.

    BMW i5

    The Pure AWD is 76k the i5M60 is 84K 3.8 vs 3.7 to 60 and EPA range is 410 vs 256. That is not close. The BMW has only 62% of the range of the Lucid. Not to mention the BMW is 4" longer but has less space. You can easily option the BMW to 100k then you can compare to the GT 0-60 of 3.0 and 500...

    BMW i5

    I continue to feel the Air is the best EV available. Hopefully the Gravity and the advertising campaign around it will bring more awareness to the brand. I'm a BMW fan, but they have a ways to go. Range, performance, space, it is not even close.

    NACS Megathread

    It would make sense to me if the car and adapter was the control point. Ford supplies for Ford, we would buy an adapter from Lucid that handshakes with the car. It is a lot of power to run through a cheap knock off.

    NACS Megathread

    Not allowing adapters other than those supplied by the manufacturer would require additional electronic in the adapter and an addition check/handshake. This seems to add complexity to what otherwise could be a piece of plastic and copper. I'm interested to see a tear down of the Ford adapter.

    LCID Trading

    Ok. Enterprise value vs current market cap. If the Saudis took it private tomorrow it goes to $6+.

    LCID Trading

    I'm with you. I'm buying enough to make it interesting, but not enough to worry about it every time I get in the car. As a bit of irony I'm using profits from a TSLA trade.

    Wouldn't it be nice if the car told you that the fob battery is low?

    Yes, but if you replaced the battery every time it said to, it always worked. 😂 Lucid sent me a box of batteries in January of 22.

    Real Life Range

    I bought a C8 70th anniversary Z06 and it was dropped off Sunday. With the current MPG I am getting I have a range of about 146 miles on a full tank. 😂

    Well here it is Tesla Plaid versus Lucid Air Sapphire on the same day in the same place~ no excuses!

    There is something insanely satisfying about a sedan that goes to 60 in under 2 seconds. Or 3 or 4. 😂

    LCID stock

    I do not own any LCID, but this is looking like a good entry point. Lucid tech is better than Rivian. The Gravity looks awesome, but I would rather see a Model Y competitor. The Porsche Macan looks like a very good product. I expect it to do well. I own the Lucid Air because I like sedans...

    Top speed limited in Lucid Air

    I think it will become more and more difficult to run an EV like the Sapphire, stock, in controlled environments. Places where you can do a 200mph run want a cage, certified seat, and 6 point harness for speeds over 175mph. It is a discussion with tracks and event insurers at every venue if they...

    Top speed limited in Lucid Air

    171 is pretty stout. I've got video of 169 for the Sapphire. 😁 We will see where we have a chance to run this year, maybe we can set a new number for 2024.

    Why Lucid defaults to smooth drive mode- found answer

    I think Lucid allowing more customization of settings in general would lead to much higher customer satisfaction. Everyone is familiar with iOS or Android. Why is there so little customization? That is what a touch screen is for. We have an iPad sized touch screen and almost no ability to...

    Drove my Sapphire to Sedona Az for New Year's

    Great pictures. Went through Sedona the day after driving through Jerome and staying in Cottonwood. Charged at a Tesla destination charger at a Spring Hill Suites. For those in doubt, don't be afraid to use a Tesla tap. The Saphire went by truck from Sonoma to SC. Since then Austin is as far...
