Looks like i ran out of proofreading time by a hair, but here's a 10% more thoughtful reply above ;)

They actually rolled over the remaining 1.5ish years of my original 3 years of free EA charging (woohoo!). Still very much in the early discovery of answering this question. Definitely not as quick to accelerate off the line (duh) or in traffic, but accordingly, quite eager to break traction at...

There was a persistent minor yet annoying trunk mechanism issue that had the car in service for 60+ days in the first year or so (33% more than the California threshold for a lemon). Basically, every so often, I'd receive an app notification that the trunk was open, which really meant it became...

Just picked up my MY25 Pure RWD. No frunk divider, no L1/L2 charging cable in fitted bag, no communication regarding the absence of either coming in from my MY23 Pure AWD buyback. Annoying, though admittedly I rarely used either accessory in the 16 months I had the AWD. Bit of a disappointing...

According to the internet quick start guide you're not supposed to respond to trolls, no? ;)

I've found that EA charging stations are the veritable water coolers of EV ownership, minus Brand X of course, and that's where I've also heard similarly from owners face-to-face. And FWIW, my first Lucid ownership experience was ultimately a lemon return. What car did I unhesitatingly replace...

This was a '24 Touring with about 8k on the odometer. Christopher Robinson aka based Millbrae service team GOAT identified the issue within 10 seconds of hearing it, and I'm sure would be happy to speak to your local service center if for some reason they're unaware of the trend.

The Millbrae service center fixed it in 30 min. A bolt on the suspension wasn't properly torqued from the factory and had to be tightened, which apparently they've seen a few times before. 3k miles since then and not a peep :)

Generative AI is pretty impressive these days, which is my sole takeaway from the OP

Here's what's going on my new one

Bleh, sorry to hear that. The car is getting lemon'ated anyway so won't be my issue soon, but hope you can get yours sorted!

Anyone else experienced the frunk clunk issue? There's a rather unpleasant knocking sound that syncs up with road turbulence on surface streets, and goes away with smooth road surfaces. First instinct was suspension issue since it kinda reminds me of what a broken strut mount sounds like, but I...

Surely subjective but I'd have the fake leather option any day over the leather. Much more pliant and soft, and based on my purelux pure vs comparably driven GTs (15k miles or so), it seems to wear better as well, which i don't think is uncommon for HQ vinyl. Plus vinyl sounds better.

Will report back in a month or so :)

I've logged almost the same number of miles behind the wheel of GT loaners as my Pure AWD, and while launch mode in the GT never gets old (especially when they aren't your tires), I absolutely prefer the dynamics of my Pure. It doesn't make sense how a 4% reduction in weight can make that...

Hooooooly F. The trademark "R" on an LS (9!) is an absolutely exquisite touch. Bravo!

Those 60s Rivieras are the most sinister cars to come from Detroit (maybe aside from that one red Fury), and I don't care if that debate pushes this thread off-topic

Shit, good point. Unfortunately the VIN is really small and hard to make out, but once I can I'll run it through carfax and see if it's been reported.

Ever since seeing them in the back pages of R&T in the early 90s, I've kinda always had a semi-ironic/mostly-sincere soft spot for the Ronals, which have long since been out of production (and couldn't have been more than at most 16s in their era). It has recently come to my attention that...
