    I made a video about range.

    For certain. I took a ~$40,000 hit when I traded my 2015 991 Turbo S that listed at about $205k a few years later. My biggest reservation about Taycan, aside from its range was that it basically had the interior of a 911 in terms of size in the front and limited storage space.

    I made a video about range.

    Thank you, Bobby. You are an ambassador of clarity. Everyone should see your video before buying any EV, but especially a Lucid Air and soon Gravity. The primary variables should be obvious and except for ambient temperature not all that different from the ICE experiences that we have all...

    EA is Improving

    EA is improving, but that is not necessarily saying much. It does not have enough locations along Interstates or any at all in many secondary cities and remote recreational areas. As I mentioned in another post there are zero EA locations in WV so my drive East will have to detour south rather...

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

    Interesting observation. My limited experience on the NJ Turnpike is that there are some very aggressive who drivers weave in and out of lanes. I just zen out and stay in the right lane at about the speed limit. In MA, where I lived for many years anything over 80 gets the LEO's attention right...

    Highway assist pulling to right when lane widens

    Thank you all for your earnest effort to understand and explain the limits of ADAS. It is prudent to respect its limits as well as its benefits. My only extensive experience with HA is on a 2000-mile Interstate cross country and there were one or two instances of it wandering to the right, which...

    State of Charge video on Lucid Motors

    There are not a lot of Lucid service centers yet but for me, the availability of service has been quite satisfactory. Your assertion that "service visits are immediately available and convenient. No need to wait for a truck" is not exactly my experience dealing with MB, BMW, Audi, and Porsche...

    State of Charge video on Lucid Motors

    Bobby is right. Enjoy your car now for all of its objectively superior attributes. Technological advances are inevitable. If you fear for Lucid, it may be helpful to know that Lucid must provide support for its vehicles for years. If you favor the dealership model that is your choice, but it is...

    Real Life Range

    I have had my AGT since Oct 2022 and have only used the SOC to estimate my range. Simple math--and reliable. I can gauge the variables of a particular drive and tend to be conservative with my efficiency estimations. The nav system was not reliable last March, but I gather that its range...

    Persistent TPMS

    I do not disagree but note that the TPMS flashes a low-pressure warning within a small margin of variation from spec. Perhaps the PSI readings should be more easily accessible, but it is not at the top of my wish list. I have had several punctures that produced slow pressure leaks and the TMPS...

    State of Charge video on Lucid Motors

    Rawlinson is brilliant. Not just a car guy and engineer, but a phenomenal technical and design master. (Form follows function). Most car people, much less the general public have any clue about the attributes of Lucid vehicles. Rather they focus on finding fault with the charging network, the...

    Help me enjoy my Lucid more

    " I enjoy that car at five-fifths of its capability." Sorry, five-tenths.

    Help me enjoy my Lucid more

    I appreciate your inquiry. Firstly, never drive dangerously. I derive satisfaction at normal speeds, but to each his or her own I suppose. The dynamic and range capabilities of the Air are simply not available on alternatives at any price IMO. For me, it is the optimal car for short or...

    Car won't charge all of a sudden

    Is your outlet a GFCI? I recollect that when I had my ChargePoint Flex installed it specified no GFCI. I just depended on my electrician. I did not have any interruption with charging either with the CP system or after it was removed before I moved a 14-50 outlet and the Lucid cable. Just an idea.

    Wind noise

    OK, so blasting each part of the door with high-pressure, concentrated air blasts is supposed to prove what? Unless I get sideways on a road at speed, in which case the last thing on my mind would be wind noise, I am sorry but what is the point? After 16,000 miles I have yet to notice any...

    Winter driving observations from a newbie

    Hey Cos: Be certain to set re-gen to low. I do not shift into neutral unless going through the car wash. I am not sure if the is a failsafe that prevents shifting into park while moving,but imagine that there is. Otherwise, you know the drill in slick conditions. We had zero-degree days here for...

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

    Straight-line acceleration gets a lot of attention, but after a few launch control starts the novelty wore off for me in my Turbo S. Anyway, who tracks large sedans? Sure, on long straights bhp matters, but over an entire circuit there are more important variables to consider. To me the overall...

    Charge failure in “cold” weather

    I charged my AGT at an EA 150 kWh station in zero-degree weather the other day north of Denver and although the energy limited message was on for about 15 minutes the car charged. Slowly at first at like 40 kWh but after ten minutes or so it increased to about 80 kWh. Yes. it took longer to...
