Everytime I have done LA to SD I charge to 100 and make it back with roughly 30% battery life. Ive never had to charge, not sure what's going on with your car or if you are super cautious. I've never ever gotten less than 320 miles on a full charge ever and I'm at 35k miles. I don't understand what is going on with your situation it's completely baffling to me.
The range isn’t important for daily driving. That’s why there’s no reason to keep it charged to 100%. The vast vast vast majority of people are not commuting 300 miles daily, much less 520.
...and, if you are using public chargers 100% of the time, it's considerate to stop around 80% rather than trying up the charger too far down the power curve... Again, unless you think you're going to need it.
Having a time machine,
I would have gotten the 21” wheels with the P Zero tires ( I live in Florida, so potholes aren’t an issue). I like the Tahoe interior (real leather, not the burlap sack interior) and I would get the base sound system as both options are hot garbage. I guess I’d keep atleast dream drive premium because the Birds Eye view camera system is really nice to work with. From what I understand you don’t get that with the base level dream drive. And maybe in a perfect world, I’d get the GT Performance, but that’s just getting greedy.
Wait, I'm a bit confused. Is your car the Pure or the GT? And does anybody know if the GT Purluxe also comes with the "burlap" fabric being described?
Mine is the GT. NOT the pure. And yes, mine as does most others I’ve seen configured in the Atlanta area have the purlux interior. If it says purlux, they mean burlap. Just make sure you’re prepared so you don’t have to hang microfiber towels like me.
Gotcha! Previously, I thought that all GT interiors came with Alcantara, including the Purluxe option. That is my fault.
I did too. It’s new and improved burlap for 24! Get it while it’s hot!!! I leased mine, but if I had bought it, I would remove the door panels, take them to an auto upholstery shop and have them done in black leather. I wish id known beforehand.
They do, the "burlap" is a different part of the door. Dark part is Alcantara, the lighter linen color is that "burlap" that he is referring to. I like it, mine is not rough at all. Different strokes for different folks.
Please expand on your reasons for saying this. I have DDPro and I think it sounds amazing (caveat is that I exclusively used Tidal and most often listen to Atmos encodings). What about the system makes you think it's 'hot garbage?'
The sound system has little to no bass at all. Also, the volume changes are so small and incremental I feel that it doesn’t begin to get loud until the last 25% of its capability. Even then, there is no true equalizer and even with tidal, as I said before , it is mediocre at best. Definitely not worth the up charge. I did the tape fix under the footwell which did improve the blown speaker sound, but for a $121k car, the mark was sorely missed. Go listen to a Burmeister system in a Porsche for comparison. Apples and oranges in quality and depth.
I’ve realized that a cruising speed over 65 mph drains the battery exponentially. Driving 65 mph or lower gives you more miles per kWh. I had issues driving long distances with an average speed at 70 mph so 80 mph is really pushing it especially in cold climates.
I purchased the grand touring.. many regrets. The car was totalled. I had auto breaking issues. Insurance paid out the car and I choose to purchase a BMW x5 as replacement. Things I loved about lucid but my decision not to get another one was based around what I felt had safety issues. Particularly around the auto breaking system when in regen mode. I will leave it at that. As posted about the problem 7 months ago.
Wait... people hate that material? It doesn't feel rough at all, looks great, and isn't on any common touch point of the car. I personally love it as you do.
Apparently enough to tack a microfiber cloth over it ...
