I thought I had somehow had an amazing stroke of luck when State Farm (with whom I insure two other cars, my wife's matrimonial bling, and our rental property) quoted me $1450/yr to add my Lucid. Come to find out through no notification or contact from the company or my agent that the actual...

@Lucken yep, flat. So am I understanding that, for a period of time, cars were delivered with SSP hardware and whether or not SSP was available was a factory-controlled software setting? That's a whole lotta speakers not doing nothing which should probably start doing something given base...

Yet another correct recommendation from Borski! Yep, I've got a service visit scheduled in a few week for a few other unrelated issues and am planning to compare to another base stereo while I'm there. Unfortunately no base systems were available for audition when I ordered my car so I don't...

Validating to hear that the app hasn't been an ownership highlight either, as I felt it was kinda laggy and intermittent as well, though given this is my first car with an app attached I suppose the novelty of it is outshining the drawbacks. Agreed as far as submitting a ticket for something...

@par11768 sorry to hear your experience has been similar. I would think, if anything, not having a glass roof would improve performance as it often does when you reduce hard surfaces, unless they didn't account for the additional sound dampening and tuned it to be less bright because of the...

Apologies if my best efforts at searching this subject have failed, and no offense taken/thank you in advance if anyone wants to point me back to another thread, but I'm having an impossible time finding much in the way of info/impressions/recommendations for the stock i.e. not SSP audio system...

I was actually hoping to not pollute otherwise productive threads with my self-indulgent audio elitism, but if you insist... ;)

Was using TIDAL HiFi (flac/MQA) however wasn't atmos material, which is representative of how I (and you?) would likely be listening. I'm sure SSP/atmos has some fun party tricks up its sleeve, but I'm only concerned about how a system sounds with standard (99.99999% of music, 100% of my...

Yep! Had a chance to check them out. I'm leasing so not ready to commit to tearing the car apart just yet since the threads I've seen involve super invasive, potentially vehicle/safety-compromising work required (unless I missed the threads you're referring to), though if I keep it past the...

Please tell me you pulled all three into the driveway just for this picture/post. Then I'll feel less bad about spending similar amounts of energy staging my own pictures for this forum.

Well-played sir, especially for those of us who know how those values have changed since you purchased them.

Warning: diplomatically-intentioned rant incoming ;) So, I love basically everything about this car...except the audio system. And my indeed pointed opinions about it are not meant to deride how exceptional the overall car/driving experience is and everything about the novel/laudable design...

Thanks @Bobby ! I searched the forum specifically for stereo/music-related complaints and didn't find anything, though thanks for the heads up and indeed it is clear that I am not alone :)

Have the relatively bass-shy Base Sound System, which consequently has forced me to max out the LF EQ slider, which then has resulted in a less-than-subtle rattling during music passages with sub-bass frequencies (most contemporary music). I was on the verge of scheduling a service appointment...

@scal_air I keep hearing fantastic things about the apparently grossly-underappreciated RX8, having grown up with a FB and later enjoying my friend's FB in high-school 10 years later (before he flipped it around a corner, totalled car, unscathed friend). Would love to rev one of those things out...

Love all the love for green, and @mylucidmiami your Taycan is one of the sexiest things on 4 wheels I've seen in the last decade. Absolutely perfect spec and, as a big fan of green cars (which I hear are making a comeback?), would absolutely have loved to spec mine in that same green. I do like...

"same could be said of any American supercar" not untrue :) I'm not a Viper connoisseur, though I do know that various versions of ACRs tend to hold top positions on car review track test leader boards, usually right alongside a BAC mono or the like. And yes the "SRT" Viper ACR is one of the...

Holy crap, I remember that ad! Not sure that adds value in provenance for most but it definitely would for me. And Vipers I'm now realizing are a slept-on classic that it seems are starting to get the attention they deserve, especially given their cost and maintenance advantages. Probably the...

@xponents @joec 100% agreed on if you get a great one and keep it great, it will be great :) And in my 6 months of ownership and being unable to resist kissing the redline (once engine temp is normal) each time I drive it, it's been great to me. Got a wonderful mechanic in Seattle where she...

Any old skool ravers in the building? Vehicle/plate transfer in-process since I snagged it a year ago and have been squatting on it with my non-lucid/non-sequitur '06 ML500 while my Pure delivery date was still TBD. Not that absolutely anyone would have taken it, or that anyone other than me...
