Has anyone figured out how to copy the transcript into AI so it can summarize? I can’t stand the lack of editing/ don’t have that kind of time.

To be very blunt if you actually think Lucid and other brands have similar numbers of issues and this is about more people posting I think you’re not being objective. At all. You think someone who just bought a $150K Porsche isn’t going to post when their trunk won’t close and the vehicle needs...

I am or have been a member of a dozen car forums over the years- multiple Porsche forums, BWM, VW, Audi, Genesis, Tesla, Subaru, Ferrari, etc. No other forum comes close to the percentage and number of issues reported here. Betting on Saudi money is taking a bet on both the political stability...

If they don’t they have real issues at the board level. Which isn’t out of the question, but given Rawlinson‘s departure that seems less likely (though recognizing and constructively addressing an issue are completely unrelated in my experience, so maybe that’s wishful thinking). But it’s a...

I hear you, but just doing what they were doing was clearly not working. And as others have said they couldn’t ignore things any longer, EE video or otherwise. Sometimes you need to decide who your best is, give them the ball and then figure out how you support/ backfill. I also suspect the...

They are a bit lame, but they are a known quantity. My last two DDs were an E-Tron GT and now an SQ8 E-tron. Both had small issues, both were relatively inefficient, but both were finished, complete cars. Neither had software issues, as impossible as that apparently seems. Both were dynamically...

The real issue is that the percentage of a car that’s “just software” is growing exponentially. In my memory we went from no software to software in the ECU to software in the nav system to apple car play to software driving the car. A company in this space that can’t get software right is...

True V4 shows 500KW on the same map.

“The worst offender I’ve seen so far is Lucid”. Not good…

Model S coefficient of drag = .208, frontal area = 25.2 square feet, resulting drag area = 6.2 square feet Lucid Gravity coefficient of drag = .24, frontal area = ~31 square feet, resulting drag area = 7.44 square feet (20% greater). 2017 model S curb weight ~4650 lbs Lucid Gravity curb weight...

Here’s a natural follow-up you could send, depending on whether you want to keep it playful or steer it toward a thoughtful exchange: Option 1 – Lighthearted / witty: Option 2 – Curious / engaging: Option 3 – Self-aware / conversational: Would you like me to tailor the tone toward friendly...

Excellent, thanks- I always did need an editor. But hey, at least you can tell AI didn’t write it…

It is a high risk proposition, but there is another way to look at this: buyers have invested the time and energy to due diligence the car, understood the engineering, value proposition, etc. The subset that buy are convinced, and being convinced they can then leverage that information to decide...

Plan C: Vinfast VF9... Worth the risk? My quick review of the Vinfast VF9, which I just Turoed for a few days. This car wasn't on my radar, but but it's a real 6-7 seat full electric that is available now... https://vinfastauto.us/vehicles/vf-9 Vinfast is a Vietnamese EV startup that markets...

Interesting data point from the Cammisa video: Audi RS Q8 (current ‘Ring SUV lap record): 60 in 3.2, 1/4 in 11.6 at 117 Lucid Gravity Dream: 60 in 3.0, 1/4 in 10.5 at 139 154+ corners on the ‘Ring, many quick, but many not. Gaining a second and 20 mph out of each of the slower ones will add up...

That's all we can do for now. Anyway, my bet is placed, let's see. I've run the 'ring, you couldn't pay me enough to sit shotgun on a record attempt.

Model S plaid doesn't have two speed- 7:25 Ioniq N doesn't have a two speed and is limited to 260 kph- 7:45. That's right there, and the Dream in particular should be quicker everywhere...

Source? I see 250 kph (155 mph) listed https://evkx.net/models/lucid/gravity/gravity_grand_touring/ but it's not official, meanwhile google AI claims it's 168. Let's see, my money's still on Lucid to take it. The Lucid would hit the limiter in 4 places if it's set to 155, but virtually all the...

They’re a bit busy these days too: they’ve been tapped to replace Clarkson and Co. on the Grand Tour.

The outright SUV lap record on the ‘ring is held by the Audi RSQ8 at 7:36.7. The gravity weighs 600 lbs more but makes nearly 200 more hp for a 15% better power to weight ratio. Otherwise the cars have nearly identical wheelbase, width and length, though the Gravity is a couple inches lower. The...
