I’ve used a refurbished one from the previous generation which IMO gets stuck on the Tesla end too easily. Mine charged to 74% on a Tesla destination charger then the Tesla charger errored out, not the car. 🤷‍♂️. My first Tesla Tap mini 80 amp broke off its plastic ground pin cover inside the...

Hmmm that’s interesting, I was already on Tidal prior HiFI plus so it still works for me, but what you should do is log in to your Tidal account outside of the car and go into your settings and make sure mobile data and WiFi streaming are set to Max quality. Then log out of Tidal in the car and...

I just have to share this track, recently used as the theme for HBO True Detective, Atmos mix of Billie Eilish’s “bury a friend”. This mix is spoooooky, really excellent use of the surrounds and center channel and amazing use of QUIET empty space, very very clever mix that is enhanced...

Here’s what’s cool about Tesla supercharger network: it’s the controlled communication and near interface-less experience, combined with in vehicle software integration with Tesla vehicles. You can see exactly what % you need to charge to to make it to your next stop or what % you need to...

I’m still not aware of CarPlay via USB or wireless connection sending an actual DD+ JOC file for the car to decode into discreet Dolby Atmos. Perhaps a native Apple Music app in a car equipped with the ability to decode Atmos codec could do it? Maybe Apple Spatial Audio can be done over...

The AC in the Lucid doesn’t draw nearly as much kW as the heater. You are 100% correct you should not have to turn off the AC to get a range within 10% of what the EPA is. However if it’s 90+ then the AC will have to work harder. But I’ve gotten above 4.0 mi/kwh on king road trips when it was...

NACS is not a DCFC miracle, the OutofSpec cross country truck races proved even for the Cybertruck Tesla network is inconsistent in terms of speeds and reliability, and the F150 which can actually use the supercharger network without limited speeds didn’t have an easy time either. I feel like...

The entire state of New Jersey and Long Island are high price SUV meccas. I agree it was a massive miss to not have the Gravity there but I’m sure it will at least improve Air sales some.

That is a great website, but @Bthegreek i don’t see how that website means Lucid software and interface are bad? I love Lucid’s easy to use interface especially after having driven Hyundai/Kia/Tesla/Volvo EVs. Volvo is at least intuitive, but hard to use while driving due to the smalller...

These deals are paying off. I saw 3 Pures yesterday in a period of 3 hours, two white and one red.

I have to work overnight but will be on my way at 7:45am, hoping traffic doesn’t sabotage it or that my charging plan and backup charging plan don’t fall through, but I think it will be just fine, I’m hoping more people are driving today than tomorrow?

Having paid the dues on V1.0 software, I also have had what I would call minimal issues with software lately. Most of them now are CarPlay integration where the screen will go black if CarPlay is trying to do something at the same time the car is. Sure there are software features I’d like to...

Not all 360 cams are created equal. The wife’s Volvo has a 360 camera. It sucks in comparison to the Lucid. I’ve curbed the rims twice in a tight spot as you really cannot tell where the curb is. It also doesn’t auto-switch between front and reverse views like the Lucid does, you have to...

Wow that makes it cheaper than my wife’s 2023 Volvo XC40 recharge that we maxed out with all the options. Unfortunately she hates driving my car, so I can’t talk her into switching.

Yeah that’s the one I have. I haven’t needed to use it but it holds a charge for a LONG time, like over 1 year it had only lost 1 bar of power. It also has emergency flasher lights, a flash light, and USB ports so if your car was stone dead at night this thing can jump you or provide hazard...

I’d add the the Michelin 20” standard on the touring are known to be noisier than the 19” PZeros. That may be contributing. I do notice the sensation of a little cold air entry at higher speeds toward the front corner of the drivers door close to the mirror. I stuffed a microfiber towel in...

Love this article! Thanks for posting!

I needed to upgrade my panel to 200 amps, and then trench copper to my detached garage. That was EXPENSIVE, $9,800 by an industrial electrician partly due to new state codes requiring emergency shutoff switches, certain spec GFCI and at that time a big shortage of electrical panels in the...

My car has been in service so many times I’ve lost count, but IDGAF cuz it’s still the best car I’ve driven in most ways that matter to me, and better at road tripping than everything I’ve owned. Yes, even better than my departed 1986 Volvo 240GL wagon which was in the shop more than the Lucid...

That’s funny I got screwed at the Cabazon outlets too, in a Polestar 2 so the range anxiety was real! It was exactly as you said, 2 chargers not working, and one taken up by a Jaguar that had been at 100% for 2 hours and a Bolt also at 100%. I had much better luck at the Crystal City EVGo near...
