    Lucid Air Dream Midnight Edition Nurburgring Open Lap New Season with Misha

    Apparently it's his daily driver, lives at the ring, sitting on the 19 in with winter tires to do a first sighting lap of the season!

    If leasing is not available, would you cancel your Gravity order?

    A lease does give you the most optionality. I calculated I could cancel out half the depreciation over 2-3 years by keeping the remaining cash that would have gone for an upfront purchase in the market with a conservative return and investment....

    Tire/Wheel Discussion

    The higher aspect ratio tires will have more sidewall flex under load, which then causes changes in response, breakaway and the load changes. It's a hysteresis effect, once you start sliding and exceeding the limit of grip and slip angle, you actually have to straighten the tire up and slow...

    If leasing is not available, would you cancel your Gravity order?

    Consider that the Air's depreciation will not be an apples to apples comparison to the Gravity or further EV market. There are 2 things likely to not repeat that are part of that depreciation :EV tax credits; even embedded in the lease loophole this takes 7500 off the hood immediately. :Early...

    Tire/Wheel Discussion

    I have all the same concerns. I don't want black wheels, and I don't want the compromise of cost, availability, ride comfort, range from the biggest wheels. I had considered optioning the small wheels and then buying the mid-size set in Silver. But I am leaning towards just optioning the...

    Lucid Audio Experience AMA (March 11, 2025)

    I am curious to any tuning needed on the audio system on both Gravity and Air with respect to the steel roof vs glass roof. Acoustically when I was in a GT loaner with Glass roof you could tell there was more reflection of noise, whereas a Alcantara roof liner does absorb better.

    Lucid Audio Experience AMA (March 11, 2025)

    In addendum to Last ICE, was just curious if you could share the volume control linearity or response? I have not been able to actually use max volume without damaging ears or speakers. I noticed from strange looks the other day as I was driving through a quiet neighborhood that the volume is...

    Can you set a charging "off" time?

    Yes or constrain the charging end time by the SOC limit. It's likely easy to estimate based on charging Kw and hours you want.

    Consumer Reports Reliabilty Rankings

    Yeah the fact they haven't actually bought an Air Pure for a long-term test means they really don't have any ownership experience with the car....

    Trouble Statistics?

    I have filled out 2 surveys this year about my Lucid ownership that were sent via EVGO about charging and one about EV reliability from JD Power. Not exactly sure where that information goes from there, but I complained about the 3 things that were effectively corrected by a service visit 3...

    Newbie questions

    3. I leave my Air in my garage auto-connected to my Wi-fi. I set up a Mesh network for IoT devices and that's what it connects to. Then I can monitor the vehicle bandwidth usage from my router. It hasn't caused me any issues with phantom drain or phone app connectivity. Lucid can remotely...

    EV Database Website

    For those who wish to nerd out on all the specs. It's a global database run from EU, but lots of good info on charge curves, specs, a 1-stop range estimate in cold, mild, warm weather. https://ev-database.org/imp/car/1317/Lucid-Air-Touring

    If it makes those feel better, the 13F filings indicated a $970MM share purchase at $2.59, either Blackrock or Saudi PIF:)

    Temporary car...

    What about buying a lightly used (ideally coming off a shorter-term lease, there should be lots of EVs) BMW iX or Cadillac Lyric or Rivian R1S for 12 months?

    Chicago area EV show

    Hi @KimS, I have been looking for ways to get involved with volunteering and spreading the good will around EVs in the Chicago area. I am open to volunteer, attend, show a car.
