    Munro Live: Lucid’s Midsize Strategy: Cost Engineering with Cory Steuben

    Macan EV vs Macan ICE sales split is 55/45. How is the Porsche 800V architecture uncompetitive versus the others? The Cayenne EV charges 10-80% in 15:15. The charge speed has been independently verified and the 70 mph highway range has been tested to hit ~350 miles. Seems very impressive to...

    State of Charge with Director of Cost Engineering Corey Steuben

    This video shows these guys now have their business in order. Cosmos is going to knock it out of the park.......so long as it looks good. We know most people only buy on aesthetics or to be part of the herd.

    Refresh in for '27?

    Don't want black front seats. Do want black carpet. Might be worthwhile to do those mods myself. I would actually prefer to recover the seats with cloth anyways. Big give would be the piss poor Tesla charging but the charging infrastructure is rapidly improving so it might not be too big of...

    My new car purchase situation has gained urgency because my interim Volvo EX30 is now under recall (owners will be notified by NHTSA nect month) for battery fires caused by dendritic shorts. Wife said sell it now because she is not willing to risk us burning! She also said whatever you buy...

    Out of Spec 3 Row EV race - Lucid Gravity driven by Kyle

    I would like shorter too but am cool with them because you actually care about performance handling, steering precision and such. It seems like every other reviewer nowadays only cares about crap like bitching about minutae that doesn't affect the driving experience at all like adjusting...

    Frunk not opening correctly

    Well then I have been put in my place. For me, I would tweak it myself as that is less effort than a service appointment.

    Frunk not opening correctly

    What's more effort; making and doing a tweak appointment or pressing a button twice?

    Car and Driver prototype drive of Porsche Cayenne EV

    Cayenne EV base & turbo have same battery but different motors. Charging speed is the same. Range might be slightly different due to motors and maybe different.

    Car and Driver prototype drive of Porsche Cayenne EV

    Cayenne EV comes with leather seating surfaces as standard just not leather everywhere like on dash or console sides which is not offered by nearly all other vehicles. Cayenne EV range has independently been tested at ~350mi @ 70 mph. Same tests with Gravity ~345 mi so no difference...

    Car and Driver prototype drive of Porsche Cayenne EV

    I forgot to mention I got a 3% discount and was the first order. Build is slated for April. FYI, I got forced into the Cayenne EV. I wanted a Lucid Air but basically impossible to carry a load of bicycles. Ordered a Gravity for wife's daily that I could use for my biking trips but she didn't...

    Car and Driver prototype drive of Porsche Cayenne EV

    To be realistic most every option Porsche offers is something above and beyond what is available, in any way, versus other cars; things like special colored stitching or full active suspension. I just went on the Porsche configurator and could not surpass $243K and this includes every stupid...

    Car and Driver prototype drive of Porsche Cayenne EV

    Don't get fooled by Rivian's new integration of Google Maps. It is horrific. It is not AA or AAOS. No hands free control of nav or messaging.

    Sure would like a wagon version of air...with a frickin hitch! Kill the mandatory black seats in front.

    Car and Driver prototype drive of Porsche Cayenne EV

    Final nail in the coffin for me with my Rivian was no Android Auto or Automotive. My wife and I now have two vehicles with Android Auto and native Android Automotive. They are the same except the native has a connection to vehicle state of charge so is better for road trip rout planning.

    Bike Mounts and Crossbars

    But still no voice command for navigation-you gotta type in everything, no text message handling whatsoever, and using Alexa for phone call controls. Correct?

    Bike Mounts and Crossbars

    Gotta admit I never thought of mounting the cross bar and using a bungie to improve stability when I was hauling my bikes with the tailgate pad.

    Bike Mounts and Crossbars

    I dumped my Rivian R1T this August. I am not happy at all with that enterprise for quite a few reasons. I was an early purchaser with a day one deposit. They promised hands free driving to us when we ordered but nope. They delivered vehicles with with wireless phone charging that never...

    Bike Mounts and Crossbars

    :mad: I have a list of potential cars and every single one of them has a deal killer issue! My only wants are EV, 275 mi + highway range, carry bikes, reasonable back seat room, serats that aren't black, good handling/steering and software that works or is on the path to being good within 6...
