    Initial Impressions Lucid GT Stealth in Chicago

    Congratulations. It’s just beautiful. I got same color but with platinum finish. I wasn’t sure about the stealth look - but now I know it looks awesome. Enjoy. I got my mats from Lucid as they match Tahoe color well apart from fit. But I think yours look better.

    good news and appologies !

    Sticker seems so dumb to me in this time and age. Just another unnecessary red tape process- apart from messing with clean look and finish of the cars. It’s not like someone could fake electric cars.

    What Are They Thinking?

    $340k+, 111KW pack with 300 mile range = 2.7m/kw efficiency.... this is like 00's ICE car which used to give around 18-20miles per gallon but rolled out now. i personally didnt like the rear design of this car.. i think lucid is class apart from everything that they have done.

    What Are They Thinking?

    i stopped considering lexus 10 years ago. Its just Toyota with little more insulation. Same engines and same efficiency. They dont believe in EV (and Honda too) and they have probably done this to say "been there, done that"..

    Charging curve logs post 2.1.52

    does the charging has anything to do with AC to DC conversion at the supply level? i am assuming they would have some battery packs there carrying some power which will be transferred to the car in DC while the battery gets charged from the grid?? if it is so, then, slow charging could be due...

    Lucid ads and commercials

    i know.. but while i am driving and there is no room for lot of conversation, more of yelling back and forth happens.... Atleast that's how it is in Indianapolis. But yes, when i am at a parking lot, i am happy to even let them even look inside and sometime sit in my car. My point was also...

    Lucid ads and commercials

    Everytime I take my car out, there are folks yelling at me “hey what is that” and I say “Lucid”, and then classic “who makes it”. I guess we are all getting the word out there.

    New AGT acquisition process. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly (the third will surprise you ;-))

    I got 200kw out of 150kw couple of weeks ago when I was returning from chicago. 350kw was taken by another EV. I guess this depends on how each station is setup??

    Not sure if you have already decided or not. Just checked Lucid website. Same config for touring is showing $90275. Lease cost is $1003 for 36 months with $4003 down. 2.99% apr is the rate. And this is before they apply conquest credit for your Tesla. Not sure if they give it to model 3. Looks...

    Residual value of leasing an Air Touring with credits

    I got mine on lease and my residual is 65k. Capitalized cost was $117.5k. When I did my calc, it looked like the interest portion for 36 month was barely 5k. I went for leasing as the effective int rate was about 2%pa. Their lease deals are very good. I think they are trying to push out more...

    EV Newb with GT on order and High Anxiety 😬

    I meant return on investment (ROI). For me it came to 15 years just for break even considering electricity cost with 3% increase year on year vs investment with 8% as cost of capital. Solar panel has a lifetime which varies and I had looked at one which had 15 years. Sorry about the confusion.

    Road Tripping on EVs and Gas-based Cars, A Perspective.

    Love to read these experiences. Amazing that you could collate all information from past and put it together. One point though on charging cost, if you start with full battery charge and return home to a modest battery charge level, pretty good amount of charge would be at your home at lower...

    EV Newb with GT on order and High Anxiety 😬

    Last time I did ROI on solar, it didn’t make sense to me. You also have to consider interest portion on investment you do.

    EV Newb with GT on order and High Anxiety 😬

    I came from model S and I love this car. Most have answered your questions accurately and I agree with them. 1. GT gives you the range even with 20” it’s pretty impressive. Pro is more about hardware; no subscription. If it were they would have mentioned a period until which you could use it...

    Need help deciding to buy

    just go ahead.. dont second guess. if you are not sure, lease it and assuming some on great deal are still left. If by any chance you dont like it, you can return it in 18 or 36 months.
