    Rivian R1S

    Yes! Finally got my Lucy back. Definitely had the privilege of testing out the Rivian R1S on the dime of my insurance company for several weeks. Agree that it is a completely different usage case from the Lucid Air and not a direct comparison. I appreciate the R1S utility- took a load of...

    Rivian R1S

    The R1S does have a "kneel" mode where the car lowers in park to make it easier to get in and out.

    No fault fender bender at $15k

    It is expensive to repair these high end vehicles and I am not surprised at the cost. I am going through a similar situation with my Air Pure where I got hit in a parking lot and something punched through the lower front end (I believe a snow plow) and damaged the "front module" which is just...

    Rivian R1S

    First of all- apologies to the group. Did not mean to ignite another long discussion about efficiency and range. Also, the Rivian is a very nice vehicle- just not as good as my Lucid. With regards to the rental situation, that is a long and tragic saga. Short version- my Lucid was hit in a...

    Rivian R1S

    Have been driving a rental R1S for a few days while my Lucid Air Pure gets patched up. Some random thoughts: I miss my Lucy. Nice vehicle- definitely a truck. Not very efficient- usually around 2.5 mi/kwh Got an interesting message when I first picked it up that brake regeneration will be very...

    Need help deciding to buy

    Buy it. Great car, great value. Just bought my Air Pure last December and there have been numerous OTA upgrades since then. Seamless- just get out of the car and an hour later it is done. I only have a few random quirky messages pop up but everything works as expected. The fabric is nice to...

    Air Pure DC Fast Charging

    I still have never seen the input KW from a 350 KW DC fast charger go above 99 KW input to my car. Four different EA charging stations. Most of the time nobody else there. Has anyone with an Air Pure seen their max KW input from a DC fast charger ever get near the supposed 250 KW rating?

    Lower Bumper Damage

    Yes, that is an actual estimate from a Lucid certified body shop. I don't necessarily want to share too much information here, for a couple reasons. The main one is that I still love the car and do not want to leave any negative impressions. Two is that my insurance claim, although approved...

    Air Pure DC Fast Charging

    Per Lucid, it is actually the same as the Touring model. 250 KW max input at DC fast chargers.

    Air Pure DC Fast Charging

    Lucid made a lot of changes to the Touring to dumb it down so people like me could afford it (without meanwhile getting a divorce which was a close call . . .). I am not ready to assume the charging infrastructure was replicated from the Touring. I think some official Lucid people monitor this...

    Air Pure DC Fast Charging

    I enjoy this discussion and not trying to be pissy about anything. Most EV car manufacturers publish how much DC KW power input the car's charging infrastructure is designed to accept. Lucid does it apparently, just not for the Air Pure and that is what I was trying to find out. My Mini...

    Air Pure DC Fast Charging

    Yeah- I assumed so, that is why I stated the whole thread with "I assume this has already been discussed before . . .". If you can point me to where someone answered my question about why I only see 95 KW peak input when it is presumably rated for at least 200 KW input that would be cool.

    Air Pure DC Fast Charging

    By the way, if you want to geek out on this stuff State of Charge website is an excellent source of information. All EV's have a charging curve- it is not a flat line so depending on where you are in the charging cycle the KW input from the charger to the car will vary. If the Air Pure truly...

    Air Pure DC Fast Charging

    Interesting, wonder why I am not getting even close to that. I wasn't buddy breathing with anyone today- was the only car in the lot on a 350 KW EA charger. Anyhoo, just something I will keep an eye on going forward.

    Air Pure DC Fast Charging

    Thanks for the responses! The question I am asking though is what is the maximum rated KW (not kwh) input that the Air Pure model is capable of accepting? The other models have posted specifications (see image below) but I cannot find it for the Air Pure model.

    Air Pure DC Fast Charging

    I am sure this is discussed in this forum somewhere but cannot find it. For the Air Pure model, what is the maximum KW input from a DC fast charger the car can accept? I read somewhere it is 200 KW, but not sure that is correct. I have been watching my phone app the last few times I charged...

    Lower Bumper Damage

    And yes, it already gnaws at me cosmetically. She was so perfect . . .

    LOL. Thanks for the input. (I have not even tried sprint mode yet . . .)

    Lower Bumper Damage

    Well, Lucy is no longer 100% perfect- we have our first ding. The lower front bumper must have hit something (do not recall any incident) and now has a hole. It is not too noticeable, and we can probably live with it as long as the fact it is a hole doesn't cause any concern with water getting...
