Saw this at the valet stand where we ate this evening. Rolls Royce's first BEV. A bit over the top, but pretty impressive nevertheless. EVs . . . everybody's doing it!

This is one of the most intelligent opinion pieces I have seen on American EVs and where Lucid fits in: https://www.torquenews.com/17998/ive-owned-tesla-2024-model-3-rivian-r1s-and-lucid-air-la-heres-truth-about-build-quality

The article form the Society of Automotive Engineers has some technical information on the Gravity that I have not yet seen (unless my eyes glazed over in the long powertrain review Kyle Conner did with Emad Dlala and his team recently). In particular, although I knew the motors for the Gravity...

Has anyone had experience trading in a car against a Lucid purchase? I know that Kelley Blue Book handles trades for Lucid, but I'm wondering how closely the offers they give for a Lucid trade track the trade-in values they give on their website for any trade without reference to what it's...

Four Gravity review videos just posted this morning on YouTube.

I just came across this post from Tom Moloughney of "State of Charge" renown: It brought to mind a recent comment by Jason Cammisa on a "Carmudgeon" podcast, where he said that Lucid joins Porsche as the only other carmaker to get suspension dynamics and real-wheel steering right, to the...

@borski mentioned on another thread that he first became aware of Lucid when he walked by a showroom and went in to check things out, triggering an interest that grew into his current very interesting relationship with the company and its products. I thought it might be interesting to poll...

It will be interesting to see how this plays out: https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/fate-rivian-6-6-billion-174558360.html

No idea whether this is another of those battery "breakthroughs" that never make it to market, but this does seem interesting: https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3298762/chinese-scientists-develop-injection-make-smartphone-and-ev-batteries-last-longer

When I got home from errands today the charge port door on our Air would not respond to the button on the Glass Cockpit. Nor would it respond to manual pressure on the bottom of the door. I then opened the frunk to use the manual release, and it would not open the door. After several more...

A friend was coming out of his VW ID.4 lease, and we took him today to pick up the somewhat smaller Volvo EX30 EV that is replacing it. A handsome and sprightly little CUV: While there we got a chance to check out and sit in an EX90 EV SUV which I was thinking might be the only alternative...

The Honda-Nissan merger has hit a snag, possibly killing the deal. And Tesla sales in Europe, already shrinking throughout last year, are in free fall so far this year: Germany: down 59% France: down 63% Norway: down 44% Sweden: down 38% Netherlands: down 42% UK: down 12% (with overall...

About 12% of Canadian car sales are EVs, compared to about 10% in the U.S. The Canadian government imposed a 25% tariff today on imports of U.S.-sourced goods along with a call for Canadians to eschew U.S. products wherever possible. I wonder what effect the Canadian tariffs will have on the...

Tom Moloughney posted a video with some information I've never seen before. Emad Dlala of Lucid says their data from the Lucid fleet indicates that frequent DC fast charging can actually improve the health and life of Lucid battery packs, as does a mix of DCFC and Level 2 AC charging. As...

I have noticed a lot of changes made to my recent draft posts that I have had to correct before posting or edit after posting (and some I have missed because of the short edit window). They are not typos similar to what I typed or switches of similar words (such as "it's/its" or "you're/your or...
