The tires in that test are entirely non-US market tires. Even the tested CrossClimate2 is the European version, which isn't the same as the North American CrossClimate2. The EU version has better rolling resistance, while the NA version has better wear.

For the record, my center brake light was replaced at the Millbrae service center in a matter of days for the common condensation issue (would take many days to dry out). I am pretty sure it was done in-house.

Indeed, the FCC disclosures from Lucid show no (unused) UWB radio, so no hope of adding reliable handsfree UWB access through a SW update (which what Tesla just did on their refreshed cars)

Any updates? I’ve heard the condensation in the center/third brake light is a known/warranty issue.

Going down to 5% or even 0% isn't really bad unless you keep your car idle at those levels for extended periods, especially in the cold. In all practical use cases, you charge immediately afterwards, so really nothing to worry about.

Yes, this is a common experience across all EVs. Otherwise, some of the battery's charge will have to be spent on heating the battery, otherwise even more of the battery's charge is wasted due to inefficiencies of a cold battery!

The PS4S on the Lucid is also an OE tire designed for (an electric) Lucid. The P Zero on the Tesla is also an OE tire designed for Tesla. The "electric" badging on the tire means nothing when the tire is an OE tire built to the specific manufacturers tuning. You can't even compare them with the...

Depends on the claim. If they claim our car is better, sure. If they claim one particular OEM tire has better longitudinal traction than another at a particular temperature and weather conditions, I'd put a lot of trust in their claim. The tires on both of the cars were OEM tires with OEM...

Can someone be kind enough to point me to the "other thread"? Both the forum search and Google search failed me (or maybe I failed them :) )

If you look at the detailed EPA consumption numbers, the highway rating difference is a mix of rolling resistance and aero, while the city rating difference is mainly due to rolling resistance differences between tires / wheels. The impact of wheel/tire mass on consumption is negligible, as...

Practically all cars without an OEM hitch option claim the same in the US (laziness? liability?). The same cars get tow ratings in Europe and do just fine when towing. The Model 3 is one such example.

Or V2L, for emergencies that actually happen. An EV out of charge is even more rare than ICE running out of gas, statistically!

In the long term test page, they specifically mention they ordered the 19”

If you have your car, the owners manual is provided in the glovebox.

The recommended tire pressures for the 19” wheels is 49 PSI and the 21” is 42 PSI. But does anyone know the recommended pressure for the 20” wheels?

This (and similar) adapters are passive, so they simply relay the EVSE max charge rate signal to the EV.

That particular adapter has a 48 Amp limit. This is fine for Tesla V3 destination chargers, but V2 destination chargers can go supply to 80 Amps and fry that adapter. It is unfortunate that Lucid's UI still doesn't support limiting the L2 charge rate (like every other EV).

Source / assumptions? In my experience, it really depends on the drive. Based on my experience, the effect of outside temperature on a long highway drive is pretty small, especially compared to short slow trips with enough time in between trips for heat / cold to soak in. It’s physics. At...

Not bad. Good to know and thanks!
