Have you tried adjusting either the steering wheel and the seat? We are all shaped differently but it is almost always possible to find a position that works adjusting these two features. I am short so I make adjustments that let me see through the steering wheel; a buddy of mine is 6'11" and...

Great post. +1000.

You drove 48 miles across the Valley to get to the Scottsdale wrap store. There must be tens if not hundreds of wrap stores between Litchfield Park and Supreme Wraps. So it must be a real testimonial that you drove so far when there were so many places in between.

I believe the leasing rule only applies to the manufacturer. Banks, etc. can still do leasing.

Correct. One is not getting a Lucid Air for that price. https://www.cars.com/articles/lease-deal-drops-electric-polestar-2-price-to-299-per-month-483111/ https://ev.com/news/tesla-cuts-model-y-lease-to-299-per-month-electrifying-deals-for-the-holidays My point is just that there are...

I think Audi missed the mark with this one exception. Nice ride!

I suspect this was a matter of timing. As you know, the base AP was the last Air to become available. It was probably not yet out when CR purchased its Air.

It is not the financing that is illegal, it is the sale inside the state of an automobile by a manufacturer other than Tesla. The financing just followed along. In my experience one of the most powerful lobbying and political contribution groups in most states is the motor vehicle dealers...

Not if you need additional interior space that cannot be achieved in a sedan and/or you are getting old and it is getting increasingly hard to climb down into and then out of a Lucid Air and you are staying far away from off roading. The summer tires would maximize performance (local weather...

I have had HUDs for a number of years and have loudly proclaimed that it was necessary for me. I reluctantly gave Lucid a pass as the display is so high and right in front of the driver that it almost functions like a HUD.

I like the stealth although it ticks me off that companies charge more for alterations that cost less (paint vs. chrome trim). I often walk for exercise at the Scottsdale Fashion Square mall. As I approach the Lucid Design Studio I can clearly see the white model at the front but with the...

My thing on reliability is if something goes wrong, take the car immediately and provide me with a quality (i.e. equivalent) loaner and I am happy. Things do go wrong no matter how good the manufacturer; how the company deals with the problem is the real test. But don't refuse me a loaner or...

I respect CR's methodology BUT I think that @victoryroad and #Borski are correct that the score is probably based, at least in part, on a minimal number of reviews from early adopters (and CR has always suggested not buying any car in its first model year). CR will not give a reliability score...

CR broke down the reliability rating into six categories with five ratings (worst, worse than average, average, better than average, best.: powertrain -- worst steering and suspension -- best Brakes -- best climate system -- worst Build quality -- worst in car electronics -- average CR also...

What subjective elements? I think there is probably some subjective elements in the interpretation of the data which all comes from vehicle owners. I don't know how, if at all, CR differentiates a vehicle that suddenly stops on a highway from one that fails to maintain a regen setting forcing...

In Arizona, the Lucid showroom is at the Scottsdale Fashion Square mall. In a different portion of the mall, there are also showrooms for Tesla and Polestar. Both have signs in the window (or visible through the window) offering leases starting at $299/month.

Agree. If you want to stay with a plug-in the Chargepoint Flex can be purchsaed as a plug-in for a 40 amp circuit to charge at a continuous 32 amps. If you convert to a hard wired version, the amp choices become much greater. In addition to the Lectron and Chargepoint there are many others as...

This is probably the floor for cost for now. Without this deal, I would expect the cost to be around $10K+. As I have said in other posts, users need to decide if they need all this or can make do with V2L. If one lives in a location where power blackouts are not trivial, then V2H, even with...

That will rarely work in greater Phoenix. Rock chips come flying off trucks and from the bottom of trucks and bounce along the highway. Staying a two car distance won't help at all. In some states trucks are limited to certain lanes; in Arizona neither trucks nor car are limited and drivers...

Pure is great but it is a different kind of insurance (declared value) and considerably more expensive. As in so many things in life, one gets what one pays for.
