A lot of times if there is a version change
Yup speed limits right at 88 you push accel and it doesn’t go kind of scary when trying to pass someone
IMO the speed limits should be at around 100 for the western side of the US, because those tend to be faster than the east. Here, 88 would be the passing speed, not the cruising speed.
Honestly I think 88 is quite generous on a car that is being loaned to you or for a test drive car. Play with higher speeds on your own car. There’s not many scenarios where it’s a NEED to go any higher than that.
While I agree with Xponents about the driving speed out here (West), I also understand placing a limit on a loaner. BUT...it should be in large print on a sticker on the dashboard telling drivers that. Even a generally slow driver could exceed that limit when passing (how many times I see a car speed up when I am passing it) so the user of the loaner absolutely needs to know about the limit.
No need to wash a loaner. Unless you want to. They detail them when you return it.
Mine was built in May 2022. It was in Chicago in August 2022, homeless, because the person who ordered it cancelled his/her order, and it was then shipped to Boston where I picked it up at the beginning of September 2022. Battery error was diagnosed at @24K miles in October 2023.
I know but maybe the customer can forget and maybe the next customer won't be told. If a car designed to run >100 mph is limited to 85, the user could get in an accident when the car didn't accelerate adequately while passing another vehicle. Here in Arizona, on the freeways, car routinely drive faster than 85. If one is driving 75 and needs to pass another car, one could easily hit the speed limiter.
I've always been more of an All-Star as opposed to an Honor Roll type........
I agree, in fact I didn't bring up my battery issue until the other day (it occurred late summer/early fall) just because I didn't see any value in posting about an issue that didn't cause me any delay or inconvenience outside of having to set and memorize the seat.
Yes, I would assume you could take a loaner to do any “normal” trip you would do in your regular car, for instance a road trip(NOT OFF-ROADING PLEASE)
I used a touchless car wash on the loaner but no added waxes or ceramic, just regular wash rinse and dry. I do the same on my car in the winter if temps are below freezing just because I don’t have a heated garage and ONR will crystallize as soon as it touches the panels if temps are below freezing. After the touchless wash I then furiously towel dry off any remaining water before it freezes. The XPEL PPF + OptiCoat ceramic seems to make the car pretty resilient, but not all touchless washes are created equal, I’ve tried probably 6 different locations and the only one that was any good was this older Mobil gas station one near me that does a good job at getting the rocker panels, which other touchless washes do a terrible job at on the Lucid and too often force in some tri-color foam or clear coat crap. I keep hearing the soaps those things use are bad, but in the winter I’m not gonna drop several hundred $ on pro detailing every couple weeks, when the terrible weather is just going to trash the appearance 2 days later.
I took my loaner up to the New Hampshire mountains to see a friend at his parents house, which is literally a converted farm/barn from 1780, up a dirt/gravel road. The car handled it like a champ but did look like I had gone off roading. Thankfully it didn’t hit any big bumps, it just definitely needed a wash. I would have been embarrassed to bring it back looking like it did. Also my average mi/kwh on that trip was 4.0!Yes, I would assume you could take a loaner to do any “normal” trip you would do in your regular car, for instance a road trip(NOT OFF-ROADING PLEASE)
However, do notify the SC of this as they could have some limits on its use.
