One thing we need to understand is that EA provides a service to the owners of the land that the chargers are placed on. Therefore, EA doesn't decide how the charger locations are configured, the owners have the final say with EA input. If EA had their way, they would put 350kw chargers at...

Very surprising that a wheel alignment would improve mileage by that much. Probably because the car is so heavy. Which begs the question on how accurate the wheel alignment is when delivered. Has anybody else had an experience like this? I also am wondering when the initial wheel alignment...

Oh yeah! We need to PM peter Rawlinson to get this done!

and the pastries and croissants?

Pretty cool, I saw the video earlier. But I am not driving my Lucid at 24 MPH on the highway. That is a recipe for an accident. There is a reason they have minimum speed limits on some highways. If you drive too far below the speed limit you can be cited for reckless driving.

I actually agree with you. The problem is the 0.70 fudge factor that is applied to the test values. I have no idea how they arrived at that. And the factor may be different for EVs because they use regen braking and drive their cars differently than ICE cars. They need to come up with better...

Well, I think it is about time to clear the air on the mileage issue once and for all. The EPA mileage ratings is based on the standard testing for all cars. It is done with a professional driver on dynamometer with no outside environmental influence. The wind resistance, rolling resistance...

The 20" tires will be Michelin Pilot Sport EVs, and they are summer tires. They will also have the plastic foam under the tread for noise reduction. They will likely ride similar to the 21" tires.

Duh. I've seen the specs. You missed my point. Drag racing is not about the cars, it's about the drivers. To see what I'm talking about, g Yes, that's why I'd be slowing down! o watch a drag race on TV

Sorry, but I don't trust your judgement. You obviously know little about drag racing. In drag racing it is all about the driver, not all drivers are created equal. The fastest car does NOT always win the race, it is all about anticipation and reaction. I suggest you go to a drag race or watch...

Looks like a good idea, but wouldn't it just get pushed down the street in a heavy rainfall?

That is exactly what the Sprint mode is for: to amuse yourself and satisfy your "need for speed" and give your passengers a thrill they have never experienced in a car before. Also for drag racing. Haha! Once the thrill has subsided you will return to enjoyable cruising, with an occasional...

Second that approach. My DA said that is the best way to contact him. He is overwhelmed with emails, and calling direct is a hit or miss.

Sorry, looks photoshopped.

Sounds really good. What state are you insuring the car in? That is important for determining rates.

Sorry, I meant USAA Insurance.

I have been a USSA member for 54 years, but I am not ex-military. I gained membership through my father. USSA charges higher rates for members that are not ex military. As fa as I am concerned, that is blatant discrimination, which is why I don't get insurance from them. I get better rates...

I approached Costco Connect about insurance. They said they couldn't insure it because the car was over $100K. They passed me over to Progressive because they would cover it. I am in NC, so that may be the problem.

Great to hear. They look like a good buy at $2400 per set. I would like to see a reliable verification of the range improvement that they claim. Did you get anything from them that verified their range improvement?

True. When the EPA does their range ratings for EVs they require the car have at least 6000 miles on the car prior to testing. They obviously recognize the car gets better and more consistent results when slightly used.
