EA is always free to allocate additional funds for maintenance of existing installations. For each 30-month investment cycle, EA has to provide plans (one for CA to CARB, and another for the other 49 states to U.S. EPA) toward meeting the consent decree requirement of spending the minimum $2b...

The 2025 timing is for all the latecomers (e.g., BMW, Toyota) capitulating to Tesla's terms.

How does that leave you at the mercy of Tesla given that you’ll still be able to charge at all CCS1 and J1772 stalls? Tesla has even equipped its own vehicles to charge at CCS1 stalls since 2020 with an inexpensive adapter, and also offers a retrofit service for most older Tesla vehicles.

How can Tesla achieve a DCFC monopoly when all the current CCS1 chargers and all the upcoming non-TSCN NACS chargers are accessible to all CCS1 EV models, Tesla models since 2020, and all the upcoming non-Tesla NACS models? Sure, all the DCFC networks other than TSCN are generally miserable in...

GM and Ford don't have to delivery anything. This is all on Tesla's end. As for Tesla being quick to promise and slow to deliver, on vehicles, yes, that's for sure! On Superchargers though in recent years, Tesla sure seems to deliver. And given that the Magic Dock access already works fine for...

The delayed access for Toyota, Hyundai, and BMW appears to be imposed by Tesla. The adapters announced so far are passive: https://a2zevshop.com/pages/the-typhoon-plug-nacs-to-ccs1-adapter-updates-information...

Only the ~12,000 V3 250kW Superchargers (in the U.S. and Canada) will work with CCS1 EV models. (Although that's still a whole lotta chargers!) The V1 and V2 Superchargers do not support CCS communication protocols. Going forward, Lucid could modify its vehicles to support speeds faster than...

Yes, might have been better if the bulk of it had gone to subsidize for-profit companies with existing CCS1 DCFC network who would care more about reliability.

Mess up? Sure, from the perspective of frustrated CCS1 EV owners. But the sole purpose of this $2b-funded company is to spend $2b on charging infrastructure and related EV initiatives. And EA is doing a great job of ... spending money. I would have thought that given how EA has to spend that...

EA does indeed publish public disclosures. Sort of... More specifically, so far I have reviewed (but not very carefully, since although I analyze this kind of stuff for work, I'm analyzing EA for fun -- or at least as a way to get out my frustrations at them) -- Consent decree...

^ Much appreciated, good to hear that, thanks! I do like the massaging seats on my current vehicle, so foregoing that on a -- let's see here, with destination and document fees -- $123,625 vehicle seems kind of odd. OTOH, the GT is another $26.1k. Also gets the longer range, which of course is...

Okay, thanks for the clarification. And sounds like only limited information (if any) on the anticipated delivery time for orders being placed now? If it makes any difference, my build would be: 19" wheels/tires. DDP, since my understanding is that DDP is the only way to get a 360-degree camera...

[Apologies in advance if I'm missing the answer posted somewhere here, but after some searching, I couldn't find anything.] IIRC (which I might not be!), since I last set up a build in the configurator for the Air Touring, the "Reserve your Lucid Air" page has been appended with the text "Ready...

^ Thanks, very helpful to hear this, since I'd been wondering how the service would work.

Thanks, that sounds reassuring!

Apologies in advance if I'm overlooking the answer somewhere, but this seems to be the only relevant thread, and I'm still unclear on this issue ... I live (Amherst MA) a ~3 hr roundtrip from the nearest service center (Natick MA). Would I ever need to drive the vehicle in for any sort of...
