    19" vs 21" Tires: Ride Quality/Range Difference

    I’m quite skeptical of the Edmunds review. I drove both back to back and the 19’s were noticeably better than the 21’s for ride comfort. The moment we got underway with the 19’s I could tell the difference. I also agree about the harshness of the ride with the Model S. It is nowhere near as...

    19" vs 21" Tires: Ride Quality/Range Difference

    Ride comfort and noise is much better in the 19” wheels without a huge loss in traction unless you’re really pushing it. However, the 21’s are absolutely excellent - I would compare them favorably to other sedans 19” wheels. If you must have the range, all-seasons, comfort or quiet then go with...

    LA Times/Electric Car Conversions

    I have this dream of taking an original 2001 WRX and putting in an electric AWD drive train. One day….

    I’m optimistic about PDI starting this week, though no idea how long it’ll take. I’ll be stoked if I get it before the weekend so I can drive it a bit before PPF :P

    Exactly. They’re doing their best with a ton of demand.

    Yep, still waiting on PDI to start. I’m quite certain that the bottleneck is the inspection instead of factory QC. Hopefully will take delivery this week otherwise I’ll have to reschedule my PPF appointment. I was originally quoted delivery 3-8 weeks after VIN (just hit 3 weeks today) and my DA...

    Polestar 2

    Great perspective. Agreed about sportiness vs. the Ioniq 5 and their lease rates are excellent too

    Polestar 2

    I test drove it several times and much prefer it over the Tesla Model 3 and Y. The drawback is pretty inferior range, a fairly cramped cabin if you’re tall/broad like myself, smaller back seat, worse stereo, less storage and meh seats (unless you get the ventilated leather). Handling can be...

    Weird Glitch

    I forgot you had that issue. It would make a lot of sense actually - the DSP could be erroneously sending signal to the channel for that speaker. I have had this happen on my own speaker designs before where I’m using DSP to make crossovers. Usually an indicator of a faulty component.

    Air Dream Deliveries?

    I’m highly dubious of a discount. They can’t deliver fast enough and can’t produce fast enough. Demand still far outstrips capacity. Advertising means absolutely nothing for estimating existing demand. Skate for where the puck is going, not where it is. You must add future demand well before you...

    Which MB burmeister are you comparing to? There is a big variance in quality of the MB audio systems from the lower end cars to the high-bed. My last one (2018 E400 wagon) was excellent but lacked the soundstage the Lucid can get.

    Agreed VM is the way to go in dev, but never encountered on embedded devices :)

    Release Version Megathread

    So it has been running inside a VM instead of the metal? That’s quite unexpected, and I’m guessing due to several different types of hardware used initially. Maybe easier to virtualize into a single environment at the start instead of developing for several different sets of hardware. Once they...

    Release Version Megathread

    Thanks for the update. I’m rooting for them - these things take time, especially architecture changes.

    Real Life Drive experience

    Not heresy at all. I definitely think it could be better designed. When Porsche released the original Cayenne it had only one button for lock/unlock and customers hated it, prompting them to update it the next year iirc.

    Real Life Drive experience

    I vote for a rapid click then a press-hold to open/close the trunk. Different enough from the alarm to be intuitive.

    At least those are a straightforward fix. Congrats on getting the car!

    stiff steering

    That’s way sooner than I thought they’d launch the AMG. The configurator isn’t live either. How’d you get one so soon?

    Totally get you. I'm past my window now by a few days but would rather it be right than rushed, same as you :)
