"Everything is different now." I think BMW, Audi, Porsche did factory delivery because that was the driving performance car culture then. Pride in the brand. I could be wrong, but I believe they did it because that was their mindset. I think those days are long gone and not what younger car...

In the 70s, Porsche would let you come to Zuffenhausen and sit in the factory gallery for the last few days and watch your car being made and finished. How cool would that be??

It never hurts to ask!! Measure twice, cut once. Mobile charging cables, like the Lucid, are not inefficient. Exact same efficiency as Level 2 wall units. They just charge at a slightly slower speed/rate. A KW is a KW. With mobile, you get 40 amps at 240v. 9+ kw charging an hour. A...

Do not fret. The Lucid mobile kit is great. You will not regret having it. Even after you get a home level 2. Tucks nicely in the boot. I specifically choose not to get the Lucid L2 wall charger. Many owners here say it's a love/hate relationship. And there are several great home level 2...

Other than THAT Mrs Lincoln, how was the play? I understand where you are coming from. I do not doubt the sincerity of your observations and that they are based on your experiences. When we were shopping for a BEV, I wanted a fully usable forward facing complete package that was evolving...

There is no chance I am going to believe that 😎 Don't disagree that the ability to dial down charging current is nifty, but beyond the range or need of most here. And let's not forget, the more wizwams and features in a device, the more things that can break and disable the device. KISS. That...

Could not agree more. We were given a Etron GT for a week to use, happily turned it in and immediately bought a Lucid. Next day. And I have been an Audi man for 35 years. From the UR quattro. Bottom line: Audi felt thrown together to have a passable EV luxury car to sell. Lucid was clearly...

@DeaneG will disagree on this. We are both old enough to earn that right! All I noticed in the Amazon one star comments on the Lectron shitty cord was a bunch of overheating and failures. Could well be shitty receptacles and user error -- as in a user setting a wrong amperage or using a old...

Omg, as my wife says, it's always something. No matter what I tell the excellent installers at DT, the TP is never correct. The following morning I always recheck all tires

Are you sure tire install is free at Discount Tire, even if you buy their tires? I don't think so. At least in Colorado. The DT online cart shows install and balance as $25 ea. In a recent post, some members got free install at DT by mentioning they are Costco members, where install is...

Tire Rack has the correct tires in stock and can ship to you or your local installer. Tire Rack is very competent. Tire rack.com And Discount Tire now owns Tire Rack.

"EVSE", you are my hero! On one hand @rodagoca , I fully agree and support what you are doing with an EVSE that gives you so many options and let's you fine tune. Very cool. On the other hand, that you find a need for this kinda sucks. Level 2 charging should be simple and judging by the...

Federal law. At least for today.....

Easy. Google wheel repair in your area. For example, we have a dozen in Denver that specialize in just scapes cuts and dings. Most will come to you. You will find many. Typical cost is $50-100. Check Yelp. And I guarantee that every new car dealer has one on speed dial, ask for recommendations.

Fantastic. And you lucked out. Actually, more and more local building codes require either EV pre wiring or conduit on new construction. Denver does. Cheap and easy, and saves the owner a ton. I like conduit as it gives the owner options.

I could not agree with you more that every BEV manufacturer I know does a shitty job educating their customers. Virtually every BEV owner I know got zero help on even the basics of home charging from their salesmen. I doubt the car salesmen know.

Great outcome. Especially with the amount of tire damage shown on your photos. I suggest you have a good tire pressure guage and keep the 21s at 44-45 psi, cold, checked first thing in the morning. Many of use, except @borski 😎, believe the slightly higher TP helps preserve the small sidewall...

Agreed. Until recently, it was not obvious even to many residential electricians. More importantly, getting the mains circuit and service equipment correct for high amperage BEV charging really is a matter of life and death. No one ever died from using the wrong PPF or ceramic coating 🤣 No...

Didn't mean to imply anything wrong with the receptacle you bought. Amazon sells a ton of top of the line, genuine Hubbell, Bryant,Cooper, Leviton true industrial grade devices, no different than the supply house your Electrician uses. Amazon is great for that. But it also sells a ton of...

This exact model, as well as Hubbell and Bryant are very SAFE. @agarner and others, to show you how dangerous and deceiving Amazon is, they are now selling cheap plastic, no name Chinese crap NEMA 14-50 receptacles BUT NOW with a phoney EV stamp. And bullshit claim of 'industrial.'...
