Yeah I love that it's American made. It's just a weird choice to highlight California designed. Like - when you say something is made in Texas you generally get a big boost in Texas and like a negative bias in the rest of the country...and having lived in NYC, DC, TX, the Bay Area, and...

Yeah my point wasn't to differentiate it from being Chinese, it was that perhaps replacing California with America would be more effective.

I gotta wonder, why do they think "Designed in California" is a beneficial marketing tact? lol

I thought about the same thing, as I'd been considering one for most of summer, and pulled the trigger officially this weekend, and should take delivery in a week or two. I did my own evaluation and looked at history and checked things out, and came to a couple likely conclusions: 1. The PIF...

This makes sense and sounds like what I'll be doing as well. Still annoying :p I'm actively considering an investment plan and fundraising for EV, Buc'ees style stations (I probably won't because I like my job, but it seems like a major market hole! Charging takes enough time that lines SUCK...

It's so frustrating seeing this response. It's very obstinate. That's not a solution, and it's not related to what the poster was bringing up. Here's what he said: The actual issue the post brings up is that it's a little weird that the car can't seem to adjust to your burn rate. My Subaru has...

Why only 2.5 hours? Is that to stay in the 20-80% range? Thank you - this is really helpful for us EV newbies who will be trying eventually to do things like DFW to Durango, CO and such lol

Exactly. Our criteria were: EV, high range, easy to get kids in and out of the back, fits in our garage, like how it looks, cost, ability to get golf clubs and strollers in it. Basically no other sedans met the space criteria, and most of the traditional manufacturers wouldn't meet the range...

I just priced the Y we would get today at $69k all in. Today's delta is $20k.

Just for some dimensionalization of the price drop(s). When I first started looking at cars, it was going to be a very tough choice between a Model Y at ~$70k (with the features we want and accounting for the fact that we don't get the EV credit) and an Air Touring at ~$110k. I liked the Air...

At the end of the day that's all well and good, but for the average American road tripper (I think I'm much more in this demo than the cutting edge innovator style early adopters this forum tends to be predominantly) I don't really care that the charge lasts longer at a bit lower speed. I'm...

Totally agree and came to same conclusion. All my charger thoughts/worries/hopes are to get reliable, not likely to wait, fast charging at key places between cities. to enable direct trips to, say, Amarillo then Santa Fe then up to Denver, etc.

Idk. I'd ping your DA! My DA has been really nice and very responsive. Options if they don't? Idk...it's a free $7.5k. I was happy with the price I was gonna pay when I agreed to put the deposit down, I don't feel entitled to this, just really pleased it's being extended to me.

My DA already followed up, but thank you. Thought I'd share in case anyone else has one they've got a deposit on. Note, in the message sent, they specifically call out "We would like to extend to you this exceptional offer, as a current order holder, if you take delivery by November 30, 2023."...

I've already got one on order. I'm kind of shocked I'm getting the benefit, but obviously pleased. I'm getting an AT, Zenith Red, 19" wheels, Mojave interior. Metal roof too. Only think I would change is if between now and finalizing payments a Tahoe interior with the same specs was suddenly...

Got this in my email today: Thought I'd see if anyone else has seen this? Looking like incredible timing for me, hoping to finalize everything on Sunday and then take delivery whenever they can get me the car!

It's also amusing as I imagine most Texans (I proudly am one) who can afford a Lucid (or the higher priced Teslas like the X) likely lean right politically lol

Have you just learned which ones to rely on or do you suggest a certain review app or something that's up to date with whats working?

The big problem here is it's still pretty new so it's confusing. I'm here and able to explain what I've learned, but when my spouse hears "well it won't really get 400+ when we drive to OKC because we'll be at highway speeds" (from me) they're pretty annoyed. Unlike our ICE vehicles, it is weird...

Just goes to show all things for all people. I hate the two-tone look. It was 70% the reason we are getting a touring with metal roof vs a GT (20% rear footroom, 10% cost) and 100% why we are doing metal instead of the glass canopy on the Touring.
