Technology makes this too easy-- haha. Yes, it's a 1998 Toyota Century. I got the opportunity to sit in it and start it up, and the owner put a water bottle on top of the engine (reminds of the original Lexus commercial) to show how motionless it is. Super smooth and really quiet inside...

Hope you guys had fun at NDEW, and looking forward to pictures! Did the Studio send someone over to offer test drives, like Cory was there last year? I think I had the only EV at Mesa Cars and Coffee, but had quite a few curious people stop by to ask questions and get a good look. The show was...

Shuffle play would be at the top of my wish list. I have about 550 songs on USB. After shuffle play, here are my three other top wishes: 2) Don't keep reverting to the start of a list!!! Examples: a) I'm navigating songs by artist and I listen to something by REO Speedwagon. Then I go...

I'm going to miss you guys at NDEW tomorrow. I'll be a brand ambassador at Mesa Cars and Coffee.

Welcome aboard, and congratulations in advance! I bet you're excited. My car has the original appearance package which, yes, is now called "Platinum" (as opposed to the "Stealth" appearance package). My roof is the aluminum roof, which is in body color with the exception of the trim badge at...

They were just fine. I was the only one there for both the trip up and the return. All plugs appeared to be functional. Performance was consistent with what I'd seen for my SOC and the temperature. The EA station there is co-located with a gas station, where the women's restroom was inside...

On my drive to Colorado two weeks ago: charging in Wagon Mound, NM, shortly before sunset.

As a Touring owner, I drove the Pure recently to see how it compares. It's a noticeably different drive. Check out this post: https://lucidowners.com/threads/just-test-drove-the-air-pure-rwd.8047/ I highly recommend driving them both yourself, if you have the opportunity, to see which you...

Oops... yes, March, not April :) I'm not driving a Delorean. A few other things I forgot to note: This trip made me realize, if I arrive at a charging stop above a certain SoC (which is not more than 35%, but I haven't determined the exact number), there's no point to me using a 350kW...

Folks, my round-trip from Phoenix to Colorado Springs went well, but not without excitement. This was my first EV road trip and as you saw from another recent thread of mine, I was a bit worried. What if I couldn't charge successfully at a charging station and didn't have enough range left to...

I've generally used my first trip odometer to track my efficiency on a weekly basis, and wanted to keep the second trip odometer as a lifetime efficiency tracker. Unfortunately, I was a little off my game and inadvertently reset that one. Is there a way to undo the reset? :( I've still been...

Mostly ditto. For my trip, I made an Excel spreadsheet that combined the Google Maps turn-by-turn data with the ABRP-recommended chargers, and sprinkled in all the other chargers EA listed along the way. Here's a good chunk of my end result. I didn't go so far as to add in turn-by-turn...

After much study of the route, as much as I'd love to go through Salt River Canyon, I'd have to backtrack slightly along I-40 to Grants, or else risk a 240-mile segment with no charger from Show Low to Albuquerque, which ABRP does not recommend. Under the right conditions I wouldn't worry, but...

Wow, crew-- glad I asked! Thank you for the helpful advice. I'm planning to map out all the chargers along the way before I go, just so I know that if a site is down, I've already prepared for that. I doubt I'll let my SoC drop much below 20%, for that same reason. But from what you're...

I'm planning a solo trip, leaving home Tuesday morning and driving all the way to Pueblo (750mi) in one day, driving the last few miles into Colorado Springs the next morning to spend the day with family, return to Pueblo at night, and return all the way home the next day. Plan is to drive up...

I can confirm after having driven the Pure RWD today, that it is amazingly quiet. @svl , you'll definitely want to try out a Pure RWD.

I've read the media's takes on the Air Pure RWD but never saw anyone tell in detail how the experience differed going from one Air model to another. I test-drove the GT a little over a year ago, then I bought the Touring and have put 8000 miles on it, and now I've driven a Pure RWD, once again...

Bobby, I really appreciate the video. It was eye-opening and convincing to see that, yes, you can achieve the EPA results, with judicious use of the go-pedal. At 1:30, you correctly mention that drag is proportional to the square of speed, but the math works differently than how you expressed...

Today marks 10 months, and about 7700 miles, since I got my Air. It's my first EV, and there has been some learning curve to one-pedal driving. I do keep my regen at high, but I'm probably an outlier in that I don't have brake hold enabled. I can stop more smoothly without it. Normal driving...

Okay, folks, all my pics are available on my OneDrive, free for you to download. Every car that left Canyon Lake after I did should have some nice pictures crossing the bridge :) https://1drv.ms/f/s!Av1z1WSUW62Og8NOlSsxOIaO3cIH_w?e=8NaSRB
