but the traction control does keep it very stable. If you could only ever have one set, which would it be?Take it from another guy who loves flooring it - they do skid
I did learn to only floor it on the 21s, though, after a few solid skids haha
In my drive today I gave it the beans on both the 19’s and 21’s and didn’t find a huge difference for the AGT. The DE with another 311bhp though strikes me as a whole different kettle of fishTake it from another guy who loves flooring it - they do skid

Well, I’ve owned and enjoyed 3 Teslas. My Lucid is not making me happy. Door opening is SLOW, car seats move all on their own and my profile has been deleted, radio is very slow to turn on and doesn’t have basic ID of what you’re listening to, GPS doesn’t provide freeway directions (N,S,E,W). The car has begun to roll backwards if I take my foot off the brake. Some of these things may have controls to change or fix what is happening but I’d prefer they not just happen at all. If I don’t change the settings, I don’t want them jumping around all on their own. Basically, I’m bugged all the time. It’s a beautiful car and the ride is amazing but I’ve gotten too old to want to spend my time interacting with CS all the time. Other owners are more forgiving than me, so I think one ought to prepare themselves for annoying bugs and weigh your tolerance level for these seemingly ongoing inconveniences.
I hear you. This will be my first total EV , so my expectations may be toned down a bit.
Why don't you just put all seasons on the 21?The 21s, but I’d never take it out on super rainy or snowy roads, and would prepare myself (mentally, lol) for eventual wheel dents if I take it on a long road trip.
But I just can’t give up how well the 21s ride, so if I had to have only one set, it would be them and I’d get a different car for long (or wet) road trips.
Luckily - I can have the best of both worlds.
Based on one of the you tube videos a while back I believe the 21” Pirelli LM1 PZero tires did very well in the rain. These two guys were canyon driving in SoCal in the rain and really being very aggressive with launch control and taking the curves very fast and they commented how well it was handling on the wet roads!! I drove my Panamera with 21” wheels and wider lower profile tires for three years and no wheel dings at all. And I did hit some potholes on back roads.The 21s, but I’d never take it out on super rainy or snowy roads, and would prepare myself (mentally, lol) for eventual wheel dents if I take it on a long road trip.

For some reason the phone is the worst key to use, if it bothers you, it's better to use the key fob and that will shorten it quite a bit, otherwise, from what I can tell so far, the mobile key is the longest to recognize, it'll be easier to just push the door handle with your phone in pocket. And if you don't already, you need to have bluetooth on for it to pick it up as a mobile key.
Invest a little time learning what the car CAN/SHOULD BE ABLE TO do; decide what features you want to be bothered with; set them for your needs; then forget about all of the rest.
We know all of this. Our bet is on Lucid being all in on this project.
Of course they are all in. So what? Get lock/unlock right. It's the first and last impression every time you drive the car. It's not a new or innovative feature, Honda, Toyota, GM, Ford, BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, Stellantis, get it right on every car. I can wait for any advanced feature, but it shouldn't be hard to unlock the car or change the radio station.
I'm with you on the radio station, but it seems 1.1.5 resolved that for me!
Hey Bill, are you still having issues with the key using your key fob or is it as you would expect like a normal car?
