Not-so-Grand Tetons ?? 😉

Although I am unsure, the car may need a trip to Lucid service center when needing such a large number of updates. I think I read this in previous post many moons ago.

I have not seen the need to cut an angle like a ramp. In the times I used it, the flat tire drove up on to the 4X4 without difficulty. Since the original post, others have mentioned commercial hard rubber wedges but they were expensive. The 4X4 works just fine. Cut a piece just long enough to...

The range of 548 is on the WLTP system. When converted to EPA, that would be a range of 449.2. EPA = WLTP/1.22.

I replaced tires on my 2016 Model S 90D twice. Both times, the tires had slightly more than 30K with tread approaching but not even with the wear bars (not yet “maypop” tires).

One of our new members, @MacDriver, lives in Munich. He might be able to find someone who can comment on the experience in Germany with the Mercedes system.

Thanks for the second set of pictures. The images of the car in your earlier pics did not demonstrate the blue nearly as effective as these views. The distinctive blue hue is much more obvious in the even light of the cloudy day. Thank you very much.

I read somewhere that Tesla would get government financial support if they opened up their chargers to at least one other EV. Aptera uses the Tesla plug, not CCS. Opening the Tesla superchargers to Aptera may fulfill the Fed requirement and provide funding to Tesla without providing access to...

Battery swaps on Nio are interesting. Their cars accept three battery sizes (78, 100, 150kw if I remember correctly). An owner could use a 78KW around town, but switch to 150KW when planning a long road trip. Battery swaps not only are faster than charging, but they also allow you to have a...

For owners in certain states, this may be a very valuable option. In Kentucky when you renew your license plate, one must pay property tax on your car that is based on the current value of the configuration of your car at initial purchase. Options purchased after delivery are not included...

It would be nice to get clarification from @Firstto520 on this issue. Since many owners are six hours from a service center, changing a tire often will be necessary without assistance from Lucid. It is not realistic to expect all tire changes to be done by Lucid.

The near future will be very interesting for Tesla. With Zeekr and Nio having released very good EVs in China and Europe priced much lower than Tesla, sales have plunged in China with the Shanghai plant closed for an extended holiday period. As many of you know, the Zeekr and Nio will soon...

@noobzilla Thank you SO MUCH. These images are extremely informative.

It will be interesting to discover what happens when the free trial of SSP expires. SSP includes Dolby Atmos software in addition to a larger number of speakers. Do these extra speakers stop working or do these owners get a larger number of functioning speakers without having to pay the 4K upgrade?

This car is tiny. If standing next to the car, the roof would reach only to your waist.

I agree. The m/kw of the Hummer probably is very low. As the general public becomes more educated and starts to understand how much their electric bill is effected by constantly recharging an inefficient EV, everyone will begin to pay close attention to the efficiency of the drivetrain. The...

It is true that many other EV companies also may have serious drivetrain issues (bricked). BUT, companies such as BMW offer local service. If my future Lucid becomes bricked on the highway, the nearest Lucid service center is 6 hours away. Since Lucid is bleeding cash, it does not seems...

Please search “release cable”. This will point you to a wonderful link by @hydbob on October 27 that depicts the portion of the manual that describes the emergency release of the charging cable. I would have included a link but am not sure how to accomplish that task.

Please do a search for member @Keith. He recently took delivery at Natick and posted a nice map of the location.

Keep us informed. It will be interesting to know if the Modern Spare fits in the frunk.
