    Lucid Ocean? With Fisker now bankrupt, another EV automaker is swooping in on the trademark

    Less than half the 10,000 Fisker Oceans built were delivered. I suspect that if you exclude car enthusiasts, most people have never heard of the Fisker Ocean. Compare that to the ~1.8 million Corvairs sold over its lifetime.

    Rawlinson Reveals Why Tesla Charge Ports are on Left Rear

    I don't get all the hate at having to back into Tesla chargers. Unless the charger is designed as drive-through charging, you'll have to back-out one way or another (i.e. either when you arrive at the site or when you leave the site). In some ways, backing into the site is easier than backing...

    Weighted Steering Wheel for (Mostly) Self Driving?

    Crap -- I guess wrist weights will soon be illegal in California.

    My first drive of the Gravity

    Pretty much, the Acura was pretty sporty for an SUV too.

    My first drive of the Gravity

    I've owned five land cruisers, a sequoia, a bunch of pick-up trucks, and a host of other SUVs (MB GL500, Mitsubishi Montero, Isuzu Trooper, Ineos Grenadier, Land Rover Defender 110 (the original version), Chevy S-10 blazer, and an Acura MDX) and have rented countless others - the Gravity...

    Ford's CEO says that large EV truck are currently not feasible

    Yeah how much added cost and weight are people carrying to be able to deal with the rare event?

    Ford's CEO says that large EV truck are currently not feasible

    I think the concept of "right sizing" the battery for the majority of a person's use habits makes a lot of sense with today's battery technology and cost. According to Google AI, the average American drives only 13,596 miles a year, so about 30 miles a day. Yet 200+ miles seems to be the...

    My first drive of the Gravity

    I'm not sure what the color is officially called. I should have asked but didn't.

    My first drive of the Gravity

    This is the first vehicle I've ever driven with a square steering wheel and having my first drive be on an autocross course would normally have highlighted any issues with the steering wheel. It didn't, I jumped in the Gravity, buckled-up, got a quick explanation of the course, and was off...

    My first drive of the Gravity

    As for tall people wondering about the Gravity, I'm 6'2 and with the racing helmet on I had to contort myself getting into the Air. Getting into the Gravity was zero problem.

    My first drive of the Gravity

    Surprisingly similar. The added weight and height was barely noticeable.

    My first drive of the Gravity

    It was an event focusing on lawmaking and public policy.

    My first drive of the Gravity

    Not that I noticed, so probably not. Although my BMW has a HUD and I barely notice it anymore so there is a possibility I overlooked it.

    My first drive of the Gravity

    They were both events related to Arizona lawmaking, Monday was pretty much a static event at the State Capitol, and Friday was the track event.

    My first drive of the Gravity

    I was fortunate to get to join an event Monday and yesterday and was able to finally drive the Gravity. I was absolutely blown away by it! Interior room of a Yukon with the performance of a Porsche. Throwing that thing around on the track I just couldn't believe how well it performs given...

    Need Help: Transferring Lease Registration to Tennessee – Endless Loop with Lucid Leasing

    Did you get this taken care of? The bank owns the car and is who is actually leasing it to you, so this sounds like incompetence within BOA.

    Would you still buy a Lucid Air living over 600 miles away of a service center?

    I think there are several members here from Portland. Maybe try making a new post entitled, "Looking to see an Air in person in the Portland area." Maybe they will respond. Your post may get overlooked here. That being said, last year I purchased a new vehicle in Seattle that I had ordered...

    Open letter to Lucid after 7 months of ownership

    There's a reason VW/Audi is paying $5.8 Billion, primarily to get access to Rivian's software, its hard and expensive to get right.

    3 Gravities at Milbrae Studio: 2 "VIP customer cars" being prepped for delivery!

    Its not only about whether the practices of other manufacturers justifies poor performance. It's also about what, as a purchaser, your reasonable expectations should be. (Not "you" specifically) I personally am surprised at the sense of insult felt buy some that they don't yet have a delivery...
