I thought when it’s plugged in, the power is consumed directly and not routed thru battery. For ex when I sit in car and listen to music or cleaning, if the car is plugged in, the efficiency doesn’t change (KWs used doesn’t change on the trip side). If it’s not plugged in, it does change and kw...

Most of the vampire drain gets taken care when the car is plugged in. It’s true that it’s more efficient when the car is on charge until you are ready to drive. But if the car was fully charged, then it’s sleeping and the moment you unplug, the car has to still use up energy to prep the battery...

@Haggy - so you have quit using the USB altogether or listening to your flac files in an alternate way?

Well fast forward 5 months now from the last post. On my GT, if I plug in USB, it loads and does everything that I need it to (shuffle, artist, album etc, all options work). However if car is restarted after a complete stop (get out, lock and then unlock), USB is not recognized. I have to unplug...

There are some black strip of foam looking material in the door right around glass seal that kind of starts coming out. I was about to snip them with scissor as it was looking a little ugly (you can see it) and had a mobile mechanic come home for fixing soft door close and pilot panel retraction...

Yes. What you say is true. As you rightly said each one has their own stuff going on. For some it’s efficiency and for some it’s performance. Fun is common in all though. All of us enjoy the car. Just gets curious about how efficiency works. Now I saw a strange thing on my trip. 10kw=60 miles...

Yes you can; thru EA network. Tesla is expected to open up by 2025. For charging network look at “supercharged” app which will show you all network consolidated and you can filter out based on your preference

This is great news. What is more exciting is that I have heard from 2 others in Indianapolis area about getting their air delivered very shortly. I look forward for deliveries to climb as the quarters pass by. Keeping my fingers crossed 🤞

I dont think cooling would use as much power as heating. Secondly, battery pack doesnt get cold like in winter which also requires heating? In winter, when I start after the car has been sitting for a while, I lost like 2-3 kwh straight away. But as i continue to drive it starts getting...

Suggest you talk to your delivery advisor about it. Mine was (and is) extremely friendly and they will do everything to make you feel comfortable. I consciously made myself very aware that this is a new company who have just started delivering cars and kept my expectation low. They are hiring...

if i were in this situation and want my friend to use the charging for free, i would probably ask him/her to call me when he gets to station so that i can authenticate it remotely using app on my phone?? not sure if that works, but i agree asking them to pay for charge is fair enough if...

I also have the same problem that manifested today. Reported to service. door closure mechanism also broke for which they scheduled a mobile visit on 14th April. So hopefully they will take care of both issues on same visit.

Except for one time, my sessions were automatically authorized with clean handshake though I keep the app running. Only that one time I had to disconnect and reconnect the charger and authenticate using the app. So yes, there could be inconsistencies which I am expecting to get better as more...

You should see good improvement once summer hits.

True. However high regen option, for me, resulted in lower efficiency than normal regen!! I am on normal mode now and it’s showing good results.

it’s now 2 months from time I got my GT. Completed 5k miles thru the winter 😎. Happy as I can be so far. My average has been 3.2miles per KW and today the weather was in 70s after a long time and recorded 4m/kw. This is excellent in my experience as I mostly got about 3.2 -3.5 miles when I...

Welcome to Lucid family. Since you are new to EV you will have to give yourself some time to get used to EV way of planning trips. Not very difficult and everyone will have their own way of managing stuff. Good thing is that you get range with this car but in winter you have to be careful as...

congratulations on your new ride.

Sorry Bobby - I wasn’t talking about car owners but the govt regulation. They could automate it easily with AI but won’t !!
