Switched My Order Today from a Pure to a Grand Touring

[Nullbrawl]

They eliminated the motor whine with revised motor mounts? That’s the first I’ve heard of that. I thought only the RWD Pure was essentially free of the front motor whine for obvious reasons.

It is interesting that they have addressed the motor whin with the modified motor Mount! I always thought that RWD Pure was the only model with minimal front motor noise due to its design. If this new update applies to other models, it is a solid improvement for overall driving experience and comfort.

I significantly preferred the driving feel and handling of the Pure to the Touring.

I'm curious which wheels/tires were on the cars you test drove. I was surprised at the difference between an Air Touring with 19" wheels and all-season tires and an Air GT with 21" wheels and summer tires (stock tires in both cases). Even without getting frisky the GT felt much more stuck to the ground and provided more road feel (not necessarily harshness).

I attributed the differences to tires, but I haven't driven the Touring and GT back to back with the same tires to confirm.

I'm likely in the minority but I actually like the motor whine. Just enough driving feedback and reminds me of the Formula E cars. LOL

Make that two. I like motor "whine" too. And this is not my first EV. Probably still in minority, but you are not alone

Not my first rodeo either. My daily has been EV since 2015.
Nissan Leaf SL -> BMW i3 REx -> BMW i8 PHEV -> Lucid Air Grand Touring

Add me to the list as well. I love the motor whine. I was in traffic the other day and I usually have the music loud but this day I was on low volume. The motor whine was so cool. It feels like something of the future to me. I would have to agree with you guys I am a fan of this feature. It’s also a great feature for people around you. They are aware of a EV coming. Nice safety feature.

My ‘25 AGT has roughly 1/2 the motor whine of the ‘22 AGT I spend time with. Still there, just less in your face. I think it’s a great balance of having some audible feedback and none…

Switch your insurance carrier to PURE. They handled my accident 2 years ago without a quibble with the body shop charges plus allowed me a rental car up to $15,000 while my car was being worked on.

Pure is great but it is a different kind of insurance (declared value) and considerably more expensive. As in so many things in life, one gets what one pays for.

“Agreed value” is the technical term.

Agreed on the rest.
