I20 between Tuscaloosa and Dallas is a bit of a charging desert. There are quite a few stations under construction so it should be easier by the end of the year. This trip would be a real pain with a 200 mile range EV. Not too bad with the Lucid. Notes from recent trip going East to West East...

uploaded a more polished video from COTA. One session on same tires I drove to and from Texas from South Carolina.

The weather did not cooperate so we could only do a few laps on the same tires I used to drive the car to and from SC to TX. Some in car video as requested.

Just in time delivery.

The new BMW G82 M4GT4 is going to be very stout. The Astons have been fast, but inconsistent. WRL is endurance racing. Typically 8hr on Sat and 8hr on Sunday. We are on 180 treadwear tires and there is a hp to weight limit. At Sebring as a very general example in WRL trim 2:17 lap times and full...

335 miles into road trip. Second EA charger. First location chargers limited to 75kW. At Mercedes plant welcome center, outside Tuscaloosa high was 292kW. Without the aero wheel covers getting 2.6 miles kWh. Comfort level no different that the DE.

I am very happy with Lucid's announcement regarding NACS and how they are going to implement. Discussion on this site where there are many people who are charging and are informed or are seeking more information only reinforced in my mind that there is much work to be done to inform the...

NACS will be the standard in USA. https://electrek.co/2023/10/17/bmw-group-adopt-nacs-across-ev-brands-enabling-tesla-supercharger-access/ I think Lucid only harms itself by not moving to NACS as soon as possible. *mod edit to get the link on the first post* It's here...

The non stop road trip and DC fast charging get way too much coverage. The 1% of trips with 90% of the coverage. This past weekend I did a road trip putting 700+ miles on Lucid with zero DC fast charging. We rented an Airbnb on the north side of Smokey Mountain NP. Leaving the house in...

We will have to see the Cyber truck specs. Ram has posted the REV with 500 miles of range. 500 miles of range even at 75% real world at first thought would be enough to consider over my ice truck. When you consider this range is not due to efficiency, but a massive 229kWh battery, the realities...

I was washing the car and it struck me how clean the interior of the Lucid stays. Over 22k miles and I’ve driven through dust storms in the desert and a wide variety of weather. The interior of the car including the windows stay cleaner for longer than my other vehicles. All the work to keep...

Another successful road trip with mixed results from EA. The good I had three good EA charging sessions where the first charger worked and I saw briefly 282 and 274kW. Starting from 33% adding 57.4kWh at an average of 150kW. 23 minutes Starting from 39% adding 32.8 kWh at an average of 179kW 11...

https://www.thedrive.com/news/unboxing-the-key-to-the-3-4m-koenigsegg-jesko-is-an-exquisite-experience Had the Lucid at another race. Charging in the paddock it always gets attention. Unfortunately, the car locking and unlocking when 20’ away talking about it, also gets attention. It also gets...

I am actually a little shy of 20K miles, but have the time today so posting a little early. I have over half of my miles on longer road trips (trips of 1000 miles or more). Map attached. My actual routes involved a lot less interstate so required some planning. My routes would have been...
