@Macrocosmcwh Are you the "finance guy" at a dealership? I actually enjoy the initial price negotiation with the sales person, that is where all the fun is. I absolutely detest the finance office process (not the person) and all the hard sell on extended maintenance, paint sealant, prepaid...

It's remarkable how much bandwidth has been used to express frustration with the most fundamental human-machine interaction as the unlocking the doors. I've abandoned my phone as a key and just roll with the FOB. I got one of those leather sleeves to give it a bit more pocket feel. I'll take...

That is too bad, but I think your first premise was correct. There is some sort of flaw in the blade beam design with a low pressure zone is right in the line of sight. Cleaning blades as been a recommendation for years. The black is not a coating, its the oxidized rubber being cleaned off...

I got 99 problems and a loaner ain't one...I'd just take the rental and carry on with my day. You're still going from A to B and not paying extra for it. Maybe you'll benefit in the end for the month without miles being added?

As a counter point, using driver assist technologies have generally made us worse, less engaged (analog) drivers so being "surprised" is more a function of not paying attention than it is advanced driver aids. Not saying these technologies are a bad thing, but as an engaged analog driver I'm...

I might be stereotyping (it is my personal experience nonetheless), but folks that dislike CA politics aren't typically those that would be considered the core EV buyers. I personally feel strongly about my love of what CA used to represent and not so much what it's become, but we are on our...

Once I started living the FOB life, my Air experience has improved dramatically. The phone as a key proved to be a total fail in my personal experience. I still use the phone app to unlock and so forth, but no more standing in the rain for 23 seconds waiting for things to sync up. The one...

I'm doing Lucid a solid and rotating my own tires, changing my own (various coin) batteries, and managing brake fluid exchanges. I've been doing my own maintenance for decades and I really enjoy the time spent.

A bigger storage bag seems like an easy fix. Do you just wad up the cover or do you remove it properly? By properly, I mean tri-folding the left and right sides so that its a thin log roll on the centerline of the car. Then standing at the back of the car, roll it up like a sleeping bag...

Agree with @agarner that in general, lease returns vs new buyers are two separate segments of buyers. The lease returns expand the market to folks that want to reduce exposure but still sample an EV. The sedan segment has been in decline for years so to me it would be irresponsible to...

Logo reset corrected a few glitches after updating on Saturday.

I think the slower pace of rollouts and the lack of any reference to "robustness" is a clue that the team is now led by professionals. Trying to be cute while the software train was derailing presents as a total lack of awareness and just serves to annoy people, or at least it did me. Our Air...

Driving aids are making people worse drivers. The back up camera is but one data point, which is primarily to view the small blind spot directly behind the car.

The service center being an hour away was known when you signed up for the car, so you can't knock Lucid for that. I was clear headed going in, knowing that the ownership experience wasn't going to be like it is with BMW (from what I hear, lol). I've never used service, but can't you schedule...

Interesting that the Gravity has the exact same issue as the Air. I guess it makes sense that they don't re-engineer everything.

What is wrong with buying a model no longer in production? Now if Telsa closed shop, that would be a different deal altogether. @tmichael Good to meet another DDHC owner, just picked up a '25 Hammerhead a few months ago. What an absurd vehicle, and I LOVE it for that.

Curb rash is definitely available, ask my wife! Joking aside, good mirror adjustment is about the best way to avoid it.

They aren't compromises, they differences of design and packing opinions between you and Lucid. One could complain about every product, but there are myriad reasons it ended up like that and I choose the one that works best for my most important criteria. The A pillars are very much an...

Musk is a visionary with eyes on Mars. It was obvious to me that vehicles became completely uninteresting to him years ago. He saw the BYD writing on the wall: EV's are the ultimate transportation commodity and with good FSD on the horizon, the market is headed towards a low margin/low price...
