    Lucid tesla adapter

    I was not aware of that one, but I'm not surprised given the common Geely ownership.

    Lucid tesla adapter

    You can tell by looking at them as well as in the Tesla app. V2 dispensers have very thick, heavy cables with an arched cabinet. They are limited to 150kw max, 75kw if shared and both sides taking full power. You can identify them in the Tesla app as "150kw". No V2 dispenser will work with...

    Lucid tesla adapter

    As @DeaneG said, I am waiting for Lucid to put out an "official" one. Technically, AFAIK, only manufacturer-released adapters are permitted at any CPO (Charge Point Operator).

    Personally, I am done with PPF. I had it on my last 2 vehicles, and it has 2 big problems IMHO: 1. You get damage to the PPF that is impossible to conceal or repair 2. You get damage that penetrates all the way to the paint layer, with now 2 things (PPF & paint) you cannot touch up When I got...

    Lucid tesla adapter

    This is true. However, in my experience, Tesla is still a better option for road trips. I drove a Tesla for 13 years before switching to my Air. IMHO: The majority of CCS stations are not near freeways, and if you just look at freeway-adjacent CCS chargers, Tesla outnumbers them (no hard data...

    Lucid tesla adapter

    Lucid is currently taking $10K off the list price, giving you a $650 EVSE allowance, and an additional $4K for a Tesla trade-in. You can also still get the $7500 tax credit if you lease (for now, at least). Not the very best offer in recent months, but close to the March discounts. Wait too long...

    Lucid tesla adapter

    In my post it says "The Lectron NACS to CCS adapter is also 1000V and 500A..." so yes, this is the exact opposite of the Gravity adapter. This "X to Y" adapter nomenclature is clearly ambiguous, but it seems that the first term, X, usually means the plug on the dispenser with "y" referring to...

    Lucid tesla adapter

    Gravity comes with a 1000V/500A CCS to NACS adapter as well as a J1772 80A adapter. These are Lucid-branded adapters. No word yet on the adapters for Air, but this was supposed to happen this calendar quarter. The Lectron NACS to CCS adapter is also 1000V and 500A, which is more than needed...

    Yes, I remember this from their videos - I was just looking for confirmation that the delivered cars are actually working that way. As far as I can remember, they did not say anything about route planning, so that's what I'm hoping an owner can comment on.

    Gravity Delivery Discussion

    For those few who have taken delivery: 1. are Tesla Superchargers included in route planning? 2. does the nav screen display the number of available (and total) chargers at the site? 3. does plug-and-charge work with Superchargers? 4. if (3) is true, then can you confirm that Tesla charging...

    I would have been happy to order a DE, but: 1. I cannot use 22/23” wheels because I have to have AS tires for where I live 2. We need the cargo space in back, so cannot spec the third row seat If it was possible to delete the wheels and third row I would do the DE for sure, but these are hard...

    So the name was not chosen by the marketing department, then. Good to know. I always wondered about that name ... A bit if trivia: I actually have a CHAdeMO to NACS adapter. I guess I should keep it in the Gravity for the one time the CHAdeMO charger is the only one available!

    In the first Gravity review Kyle showed the 2 adapters that were included with the vehicle: a 1000V/500A CCS1 to NACS and a J1772 to NACS 80A adapter, both branded as "Lucid" on the adapter and in a Lucid-branded box. Exactly what I was hoping for and expecting.

    Gravity Delivery Discussion

    In one of his new Gravity reviews, Kyle at OOS mentioned that Gravity would have some type of charger credit. To be clear, by "incentives" above, I mean discounts to the vehicle's price.

    I just watched the actual charging video. The 400kw charger was a ChargePoint Express Plus at ChargePoint's lab.

    The Gravity charging curve is out, and it is a monster. The yellow line shows a 1000V charger and the teal line a Tesla V3+ (V4 dispenser with V3 cabinet). (from https://outofspecstudios.com/charging). Does not dip below 150kw until ~75% SOC on either type of charger. 200mi of range in 16.5m...

    Gravity Delivery Discussion

    I am repurposing my Tesla wall chargers, both first-gen 80A models, for my Air (with an Evdance J1772 adapter) and my hopefully-soon-to-arrive Gravity. KBB added no additional value for leaving the mobile charger in my MS when I traded it in, so I kept it to use in Gravity. So I'm fully covered...
