The I-90 Surge by Out of Spec Studios

Yeah, I know these crazy long videos are too much for most people, but I love it! I think/hope the plan is to do a shorter video/podcast with each team to try and summarize the race from each perspective. I'll try and post a summary from Team Lucid's POV here after each video goes up for those that don't want to watch the whole thing.
Dude, nice “super double secret doesn’t exist” interface! 🤣


Watching you zoom into what is essentially a terminal on a website is *painful* lol. We need to get you Home Assistant :p

Or @joec Bear Assist 🤫

If there's a better/easier way to see the data on mobile (Android) I'm all for it. 👀

Home Assistant. You get all of the same data, but in a UI (and there’s an HA mobile app). You can even set it up on some cloud server somewhere if you want, and hook up *only* the Lucid integration, if you’re feeling lazy.
 
Hey @Shane_SLC,

What was Alex’s reasoning when he mentioned turning off the Lucid’s driver assistance and only using adaptive cruise control when you guys were in the Cascade Mountains (about an hour and a half to two hours out of Seattle)? Was it something about the drivers assistance not getting all the regen that the vehicle could? I didn’t quite follow. Do you recall?

Also, my family and I have watched about 2 hours 20 minutes of the video, and our 6 year old has dubbed the Genesis team “Team Funny” due to Robert’s comments. 😉

Also, please pass on our appreciation of all the video editing Jordan has done!

During this section he decided to switch off of Highway Assist and onto Adaptive Cruise due to HA automatically slowing down on curves in the road, which there were a lot of through that section. We felt it was a little too aggressive and wanted to maintain higher speeds as much as possible. He also mentioned switching to Standard regen instead of High so that less speed would be scrubbed off when adjusting or deactivating ACC while making a pass.

It's been really awesome seeing the other teams' POV, and I'm glad that they've all been much more entertaining than I was!
 
Ok so when do we get the next chapter?? And what's with previewing Dave saying "this might be game over"? Just a teaser??

Loving this video, it’s a great education all around. It proves to me (Kyle would disagree) that efficiency and range, which the Lucid is best at, matters more than charging speed because efficiency can be controlled, but the charging infrastructure is still crappy enough where your charge can get sabotaged by the infrastructure even though you did everything right.

Most likely next Saturday morning, and then the final episode the Saturday after that. It'll be clear early on in the next episode what he's referring to. 🤫

All I'll say is withhold judgements until the end. Things really start getting interesting in the next episode. 😉

For example, this is what my HA looks like right now at the top of my “Garage” tab.

Ignore it being cutoff, that’s fixable I’m just lazy and prefer compact. I know the units are miles and degrees. :)

There’s a dozen other reasons, but *just* displaying info is useful on its own, imho.

No worries on the entertaining bit, some people just have the “gift of gab” (or “curse” if you are around them and feeling irritable). 😉

Thinking back on the video, initially in the mountains outside of Seattle Team Lucid was behind by a bit because of missing speed limit changes, do you recall how far (time wise) you were behind at that point? I wasn’t sure if it was in the 10-15 min range or longer.

Changing subjects slightly, @borski and @Shane_SLC is that information you two are talking about basically what one would get through an OBD port scanner (if I understand the terminology correctly and what I have seen the Out-of-spec crew use)? So is Lucid uploading the information to servers and then you are pulling it from there?

@segbrk and I reversed the API the mobile app uses, and wrote a Python library to talk to it; then we built a Home Assistant integration that uses that Python library.
