Thanks Would an adapter to CCS1 not work on a level 2 Tesla charger and require a j1227?

Curious if folks actually end up using any of the charging adapters on the road, and if so which one/s? Thinking of getting a NACS to CCS1, for road trips, but it seems like with a bit of planning most road trips can be done without one. Wondering really if the $ is worth the small investment...

Car is out of state. Everything checks out so far. I asked for a FaceTime to see the undercarriage to confirm the car had not bottomed out a lot and that there were no cracks in the battery compartment. That part looked great. Immediately underneath the front bumper there were some gouges in...

Thanks so much!

Very helpful. First quote was to wire for 100A and then dial the charger back based on the load calculation - which he did not do. Estimate was for $2400. Seems like I’ll wait to see other bids and then ask about this system. My guess from the last work that was done is that a 60A circuit...

Very interesting. I wonder if this could work off of a dedicated 100A sub panel rather than the main panel (which in my case is full). If the lucid charger set up is forced to the 60A circuit, I may very well circle back to this option. Really appreciate you bringing this to my attention

I thought the number was steep as well for an urban Ohio location, and am getting another quote. Center wall placement seems like the best bet for now. Can grab the charger right when I get out, close the door walk a step and plug in

Turns out the electrician that came is Tesla and ford certified. He did not see an immediate load issue but also mentioned some of the circuits might need to be moved around between panel and sub panels. Interestingly he thought code might require 100A wiring even if it will be coded for 80 or...

The load calculation would be a bummer. The IR heaters are a big draw, but also are isolated on a 100A sub panel so if everything were to be on for some reason, that circuit would trip. The IR heaters don’t get a lot of play and can easily be circumvented with a timed charged, but I get it. Will...

Electrician coming soon to 1 confirm my subpanel can handle a wall charger (I think yes at 80A as 100A sub panel basically only also powers 4 40A circuits for IR heaters that rarely get used and when they do usually only one element on one circuit…) and 2 give me a quote as I generally shy away...

Looking at a pre owned air. It has a front license plate bracket. My state does not require a front plate. Curious if removing the front bracket would leave the front bumper with holes or are there clips available to fill the holes?

I spoke w the service center about the salvage titled cars. Beyond no warranty on say a hail damaged car, they won’t do anything for them, including keys, until an authorized service repair facility checks everything out and presumably does all for the needed repair. Then it’s pricing à la carte...

I’m looking to buy a lease return Air Touring. Right now I have been focusing on 24 models. Spoke with the Coldwater service center where they noted 25 models would have the updated ccv along with updated pumps for the battery heating/cooling system. 25 models seem to have a $10-12k premium...

Thanks. So rounding a bit at a 4 hour one way, it would be 2k fora round trip of a mobile visit. A very helpful data point

I am a fair distance from the Michigan service center. I was told by customer care that if I bought a pre owned lucid, that would be my service center. I have called that service center a few times leaving messages as well as submitting general emails via the lucid website. I have some basic...

I am totally on board with that caution. Similar to my caution about living in a city several hours way from a physical repair site and 2 hours from a mobile tech base. Caution also as to the size of the company, length of running in the red and amount (must love the Saudi’s ongoing investments)...

Consistent with @DeaneG response, Claude gave a similar answer o the prompt “Is it possible to build a v2h power backup system that uses a lucid air as the battery and also uses a smaller solar array for top up power” and with a request to dive deeper it made recommendations re size of the solar...

This is super helpful. It gives me hope that by the end of the year a solution will be feasible. To date I have been leaning towards a natural gas piped generator for backup power but the maintenance seems to be a barrier in addition to the noise and pollution. I have a few delta battery packs...

Giving some serious consideration to a pre owned 23 or 24 touring with an aluminum roof. I am also looking to 1 get set up with a smaller solar array that might give me 60 or so miles of range and 2 given the battery size I’d love to get set up as a dedicated V2H backup for things like my NG...
