    Finally in production. I'd give the ordering process a D+

    Zero chance I would settle on something this big - I’d rather deal with the hassle of timing the sale of your Audi than spend $115k+ on a car that misses on several of the things I want. You’re gonna be miffed at it from day 1 and then every little thing will be magnified in your mind because...

    Return lease early experience

    Never heard of any car company letting you walk way from a lease early with just a minimal disposal fee and not be responsible for the remainder of the lease payments - why would any company do that? Yeah, maybe work with you on a new car and pull it forward, but to just turn it in and walk...

    OTA Instant Feedback to Lucid?

    Of course this assumes the feedback goes anywhere at Tesla, and if it does, that they can ignore my very disrespectful tone. 😜

    Lucid Navigation Opinions

    That’s because the Google map navigation in Teslas work flawlessly, so they probably assume that Lucid navigation would work well also - since navigation has been around for 20+ years.

    Raging BUY at $2.26?

    Honestly can’t count how many times this has been said about Apple.

    Drive Unit Failure

    Man that stinks - sorry to hear. Not meaning to rub salt in the wound, but there is nothing that requires you to wait for Lucid roadside assistance - after a reasonable amount of time I’d just get a tow truck on my own to avoid sitting around all day. I know it sucks - shouldn’t have to deal...

    CNBC Mad Money - I would buy Rivian over Lucid, says Jim Cramer

    Cramer is to picking stock winners as Ted Cruz is to cheering for Texas sports teams. Almost a perfect record of jinxing their picks.

    "State of Charge" Charging Drag Race between Gravity and new Porsche Taycan

    Your personal limiting factor (love it) is at least 3x more efficient than mine. 😜 After several bouts of kidney stones, I don’t push it at all - this is the main reason why NOBODY wants to road trip with me - and that is totally fine by me.

    The best intentions to stave off battery degradation

    Not sure why you would worry about any of those 3 items - none will hurt your battery, and you have a long battery warranty anyway. Stressing about a simple trip like this takes every ounce of fun out of owning an EV. Charge to 100% when you need to, DC fast charge when you need to, and plug...

    Anyone up for auto insurance rate comparisons?

    I just went and looked at my Progressive renewal - $1600 for 6 months just for my Model S Plaid. Original premium one year ago was $1200/6 months. I need to be shopping around - this is ridiculous. Zero claims or tickets on my record.

    Anyone up for auto insurance rate comparisons?

    That’s pretty good, but I noticed when I got my S Plaid, the original rate I was quoted was good for the first 6 months, then they immediately ratcheted it up at the renewal. It’s almost bait and switch and it sucks because then you own the car and have to pay the ransom.

    Locked Out

    My cars with fobs from the early 2000s knew not to lock the car when a fob was inside it - this is pretty basic tech that is not complicated at all. The more complex stuff car makers want to add in shows how they can forget that some solutions are out there looking for a problem. This should...

    Volume decreases for 5-10 seconds with volume control unresponsive...then goes back to normal.

    Were you getting a text or some other notification on your phone at the same time?

    Gravity Tire Replacement Comparison

    I drive a ton - usually 25-30k miles a year - so I pay attention to tire prices since I often have to replace every year (if I’m lucky). I do consider it just the cost of driving bad*** cars so I wince and pay the premium.

    CarPlay Ultra, the next generation of CarPlay, begins rolling out today

    I agree with this. CarPlay as it is right now makes sense - if the only option is to control everything in the car through CarPlay, that will turn people off. My wife hates that all the controls in my Tesla are through the screen somewhere - she wants regular old buttons for basic features...

    CarPlay Ultra, the next generation of CarPlay, begins rolling out today

    I have a sample size of one, but my wife has CarPlay as one of the very top priorities in a new car. It’s why she won’t drive a Tesla or a Rivian and won’t consider any new cars without it. I don’t really care either way and think that the Tesla system is great, but there is a reason why there...

    1 minute grace period at EA?!?!

    I guess you aren’t reading it the same way I am - it starts right away but is waived if you don’t move within 10 minutes. Were you actually charged anything? If you move within 10, you shouldn’t see any idle charges, even though the timer started on you right away.

    See the edit and link I posted - seems like you are good.
