It was great seeing everyone. Sorry I didn't see the invitation to your shop before now, but your Air looks fantastic!! 103F on the first half of April was brutal!

What's a closer comparison, skinny road-bicycle tires or off-roading jeep style tires? Your guess is as good as mine. I'm inclined to think that overinflating the Lucid 21 tires may be better for protecting the wheels, but more likely to damage the tires. But going with slightly lower...

I suspect that over inflating would actually make the issue worse. The tires are stiffer and will have less flex. Particularly since you are talking cold PSI. The rule of thumb is that for every 10 degrees of Fahrenheit the tires warm up, it will add another PSI to the internal air pressure...

Good point. According to Mr Google, the Lexus has 245/40/21 front which equals a sidewall of 98mm, the rear has 275/35/21 which equals a sidewall of 96.25mm, weight ranges from 4,280 to 4,500 depending on year and options. The Lucid GT 245/35/21 front which equals a sidewall of 85.75mm, and...

I assume that was a response to @Joelaron's question (which I read as asking if it is possible to keep the same lease duration but increase the available miles). I would assume that if you extend an existing lease by an additional 5 months, it would include a pro-rata share of miles for each...

Not Lucid specific, but there have been a lot of articles predicting that the tariffs will cause the used car market prices to rise. So, I would assume that could also be expected for used Lucids.

I really wish they would prohibit commercial vehicles in the HOV lanes in AZ. They do in other areas. It makes zero sense for 18 wheelers to be in that lane, or landscaping trucks pulling their trailers.

What do you mean by "losses mounting for every vehicle they sell"? That implies that it cost Lucid more to produce each vehicle than they sell it for. At this point in any manufacturer's life cycle that would be a difficult statement to quantify. On the one hand there are the costs of the...

When you say you charge at home using a 40amp circuit, do you mean you have a Tesla home charger connected to that circuit or you plug the Tesla directly into the wall? I think Lucid's no longer come with a charging cable. I bought one that sits in the trunk and has never been used...

What's absolutely absurd is that if it weren't for all the people who invested their own money into home solar, the California power grid would be unable to meet demand at peak hours in the summer. So those people helped finance California's "kicking the can down the road" approach to...

Its the result of a disgusting example of corruption in politics. A bill to resolve this recently stalled in the House Consumer Protection & Business Committee where Rep. Amy Walen, D-Kirkland, the chair, said it lacked caucus support. So it never came up for a vote. The fact that Amy Walen...

I'm not sure what that website uses as data. Its probably an average by geography rather than population.

California is in the top five most expensive states (including Hawaii and Alaska) for electricity according to the "Electric Choice" website https://www.electricchoice.com/electricity-prices-by-state/ Part of what Californians are paying for is the result of "kicking the can down the road"...

National, Enterprise, Budget, Sixt, and probably some others have long term rental rates (by the month) that are not far from the price of a lease. The good thing about those is you can end them when you are ready or extend it if you need to. I rented a car for three months from National a...

Do we know if they have NACS ports behind the charger doors?

Do we know when the agreement with Tesla to use NACS starts?

I'll be camping so have to miss this one. Hopefully I can make the next.

A couple of years ago we were driving from Washington to Arizona and had our dogs in the back seat of our Ram Power Wagon. The back seat was leather with millions of tiny holes to match the front seats which had cooling. We drove through a Starbucks and my wife decided to try a "Puppychino"...

In the Phoenix metro area we have a lot of Waymo self driving cars. When one of them is next to me and I look at all the spinning radars and lidars and sonars and other sensors all over the exterior of those electric Jaguars, I wonder how it is that Tesla can supposedly accomplish essentially...

Pressing park on the stalk is the emergency brake. It doesn't harm anything like it might in an ICE with an automatic transmission where putting it in park is using the transmission to stop turning the output shaft. In the Lucid, its no different than slamming on the brakes. Of course...
