Here are my charges at Tesla superchargers for roughly the same amount of energy delivered as HC_79: (the last one is super low because of the time I charged, but generally I am paying 32-35 cents per kw). Not sure if you also have to pay some kind of monthly membership fee on top of the kw...

Oof - those are expensive rates

There are lots of videos and articles about EVs causing vertigo, motion sickness, nausea, etc. It sucks to be sure, but man it’s quite a reach to blame Lucid for your medical issue, one that has not been reported by any other Lucid buyer yet. Your options are to pay out the lease, buy it out...

Did you test drive an Air before leasing?

I think tricking yourself into believing that an extra $7500 doesn’t matter just because people are higher income is crazy. No one needs these cars at all - it is purely discretionary. We’re about to find out how bad people want super expensive EVs with really high insurance premiums and...

It’s the magic of marketing. :)

Which Lucid cars are even eligible for the credit outside of a lease anyway? I’m not saying Lucid has to eat it, I’m saying what choice do they have regarding the credit? It is going away and they can’t do anything about it - except to lower prices if they choose to. Otherwise all the EVs are...

Stop already - no one is telling him how to feel, but he got the resolution he needed and that was totally warranted. The idea that anyone cares so deeply about any company that doesn’t care about you at all is silly. Lucid/BofA have a crappy process that needs to get fixed and hopefully it...

I understand the frustration but would look at it as a small victory. It’s hard to not make other peoples problems your problems, but you did get a satisfactory resolution to your case - now others can figure out what to do about their own issues. It beats them telling you to go pound sand.

Money is always an object - and usually people who have a lot of it don’t act as if it isn’t. What can Lucid do other than eat the $7500?

It’s hard to tell people to be more patient and let Lucid take their sweet time to fix this when customers are being turned over to collections IMMEDIATELY. The only parties being negatively affected so far are the customers, and that won’t change without ample publicity and pressure.

That’s a fair statement, but I’m pointing out that it is silly to blame Tesla for the other makers’ inability to charge at higher speeds using Tesla chargers. The SCs were here first. 😜

I’d say it was more incompetent to build the Air without NACS and on an electrical architecture that couldn’t take advantage of the existing supercharger network more so than Tesla not building for the benefit of everyone else. As a Tesla owner, I wish no one could use SCs except Tesla. Now...

The other nasty byproduct of a lot of unhappy customers turning in their leases and bailing on the brand instead of buying their car out is that values are about to get crushed with this first wave of expiring leases. The residuals are all going to be too high compared to the market, so why...

There have been a lot of improvements in the last few years - why test drive a 23 GT instead of a new one? That seems like a silly offer from Lucid to have you drive a several years old demo/loaner car.

I’d love to see some real life pics of pre-owned or demo cars sold directly by Lucid. What are the odds you see this kind of minor, tiny imperfection on all of them? I would put it at 100%.

I’d sell my EV and go back to ICE if I had to deal with that nonsense on a regular basis

Pics? Impression so far?

AI is a lot like my daughter - she might have no clue what she is talking about, but she answers with such confidence that you think she must be right.

Disagree all you want - Lucid states that you can add 200 miles in 12 minutes at a hi speed charger, and it will take about an hour at 50kw. It obviously depends on your SOC, battery preconditioning, etc - but these datapoints are real. You’ve really been insulated if this statement is the...
