Remember to top up your blinker fluid while you’re filling up!

We can only hope.

Hate it when your car doesn’t step up and help your case.

Similar display on Teslas. They’ve had the same graph representation for years. 5 miles, 15 miles and 30 miles. Though I can’t be sure of all the “mile posts” since I haven’t used the graph in a very long time. The app though, is very useful on roadtrips. I agree with you, it would be a...

I’ll have to look again at my tax return for 2022. I don’t remember applying for an EV tax credit because I just assumed I didn’t qualify.

I have the opposite problem. I’ve never liked CarPlay in anything but rental cars, I don’t really use it in my Lucid, and now, post-update, it WON’T go away! It pops up all the friggin’ time(!), or at least every time I approach the car with my phone in my pocket. Connects seamlessly and...

Let me make an educated guess here - five hours of driving for every one hour of charging, approximately? I’d love to take my Air on coast-to-coast drive. It would be so much fun!

I wince every time I read news like this. As long as they don’t cut people in service, or in their sales studios. I’ve had tremendous luck with Lucid people in those departments - Frank Collins, Mark Sulak, Christina Lohn… I have little reason to view the Saudi Arabian government with much...

Wait, we have an onboard web browser now, just like in the other EV brand that shall not be named?

No rush. Sometimes it’s better to be one of the last to get the latest update. Then you can hear about the bugs that show up from the early downloaders, then decide if you want to take the new update or not. A year into ownership of our first Tesla, I started to regard updates with some...

Dashcam? Sentry Mode anyone?

Yes. I’m surprised and impressed too, with the OEM Pirellis, now at 37,000 miles. I ride on the 19s, mostly freeway, mostly in smooth mode. I’m also pretty diligent about maintaining correct tyre pressures. And considering how beaten up our roads got this past winter, I’ve also been...

Please! No fart modes! Let’s leave that to you-know-who and his fellow middle-school-mentality techbros.

My gut feeling tells me that now that Tesla’s entire 500-person strong supercharger team have been fired, Lucid are feeling a little less urgent about converting to NACS, and Ford and Rivian are both feeling a little buyer’s remorse.

How are Hankooks generally, with regards to tyre noise? More than handling capability and durability, I prize low road noise over anything. I’m due to change out my OEMs within the next month or two. By then they’ll have close to 40,000 miles. So, I’m starting to shop around.
