Hunting wild Lucid Airs

[xwave]

I spotted two Airs this morning.

Not to be catty, but that HOV sticker really spoils the effect...

That's why I don't have one yet.

Looks even worse on an infinite black...
There are films that will tone that bright yellow to a more tolerable lime green but I agree with you Amster. I drive slower but with more dignity...

When you have to go so far as to call lime green tolerable, you know the sticker is ugly

Yea, i'd rather get a ticket than put the sticker on. Haven't had any issues yet (I don't think cops even look for it, they just see an EV and ignore it)

Yes but do most police officers realize that the beautiful "Lucid" car is an EV?

Yep .... Most owners of cars at this price point probably have access to their own L2 chargers.

Agree. I did notice the other day that there is a huge housing complex (I can't tell if it is condo or rental) right next door to the EA station by the Fry's supermarket in North Phoenix. That ;might be the only housing arrangement I would consider for charging an EV other than having my own garage (which, of course, I do).

However, I do suspect that there are a lot of >55 year olds buying Lucid Airs (how many younger folks with school etc.) can afford a Lucid Air. I notice that there are a lot of high end Senior Living complexes going up in the Scottsdale area (55+; not assisted living); I wonder if they are installing chargers (or permitting them if they use assigned spaces) in these facilities.

My reaction to that sticker was the first time in my life that I unironically used the word “ghastly”.

I put mine in the small rear side windows so as not to ruin the aesthetics. I’ve done that with all my EVs and never had an issue.

Well yes, but yours doesnt look like a piece of trash that stuck to the car. Besides, you can get it in blue, which matches your car!

(nj doesnt even NEED a hov sticker..)

In CA, you get a group of stickers with instructions on the correct placement of them. Both rear panels, and the rear and front bumpers I think.

You actually get the same thing in NY, but I ignore them and place them in the windows where they're visible but don't destroy the aesthitics of the car. As I said, I've yet to have an issue over the 5 years I've been doing this. I probably shouldn't drive tomorrow in the express lane.

Exactly. Not only is it visible yet discreet in the windows as opposed to on the car, but the blue does go reasonably well with Fathom Blue. I'm not yet prepared to say the stickers are 'actually' Fathom Blue, but not bad at all. Hey, I'm still happy I got these stickers at all!

Went into Whole Foods in Charlotte and come out to “Pure” surprise.

Nice. My aspiration is to mistake someone's else's Infinite Black for mine

I’ve had several police pass right by me while I’m alone in carpool and haven’t gotten pulled over. Not saying it won’t happen, but the odds have been in my favor so far.

No tailpipes should be a major clue!

It’s literally the epitome of EV design. Even random people who stop me to ask about it are like “is that thing electric??”
