Supply chain and harmonization issues have led to their delayed introduction.

This might go over some of our older members head, haha. May want to label as a joke.

Vibranuim is similar in weight to aluminum (1/3 weight of steel).

But Beskar is much heavier. I assume the range will be impacted. I am worried about a class action lawsuit.
 
Might I add some slang for the tight-asses:

Saran Wrap = PPF
grease = ceramic coating
Betty = goes both ways
 
Where are the Sapphire and GT-P
 
I’m 99% certain nobody is going to use any of those but you, but you do you.

OK, it's the Lucid wall wart for the world; "Betty" for me.
Elsewhere someone was explaining the EVsomethingsomthing acronym (not on your list ??). So useful because it's so non-specific. It could be a charger or a cable or a plug, or the Lucid wall wart (Betty).

At closing when I bought a custom V70R the closer hit me with: "We've already acid washed the paint, so if you want us to put on the protective sealant we can do that while you sign the papers." I had read the entire owner's manual, and it specifically said NOT to muck with the paint. That's why I'm sayin' saran wrap and grease...I'm really not trusting it.

I might add a term we used in hang gliding: "WOOFO"

When the tourists come up to us at launch and ask: "What's this for?"
You wound not believe the questions they ask.
"How long can you hold on?" "Oh, pretty long time but, that's why we fly over the river (this at Hyner View, a very popular place to watch us fly)"
"What happens when you hit an air pocket" "You have to hold your breath."
"Did you ever die doing that?" yes, this is the most common question a woofo asks, looking right at you. Truthful answer is: many times.

I'm expecting a lot of tourists coming up to this unusual car. woofos

Here’s another addition …

RTFM : Read The F*cking Manual

Here’s a very common usage in a sentence, ”When in doubt, RTFM! Most everything you’re looking for is contained within.”
 
RTFM : Read The F*cking Manual
you made me log back in just so i could endorse this. i've always taken the manual and a red pen right to the crapper and left it there until I knew it. This is the first car where I have been guilty of the sin. ashamed, am i.
