It's actually a 4cyl Cummins from a bread truck :cool:

There is a lot of discussion on the Lucid forum about the 14-50 outlet being appealing because its cheaper, but many report issues. The TL;DR version is this: "Don't use a 14-50 outlet, hardwire your charger instead. If you must use a 14-50 outlet, use one made by Hubbell or Cooper (~$100)...

So, you're saying I pretty much fixed it with my advice (post #2)? :cool:

I think the turning point for Lucid will be what happened last week with Peter Rawlinson stepping away from his CEO position. He was a huge part of Tesla and all the parts of Lucid's innovative engineering and efficiency, but don't think his strength is scaling. I'm confident Lucid will be...

If you already have a plug that is one thing, but its strongly recommend to hardwire your charger. I added a 60A circuit and hardwired the Lucid charger. Per electrical standards, a 60A circuit allows for charging at 48A and is usually 4-6 hours to go from low SoC to 80%. Even with scheduled...

The selling organization automatically gets a 1 red flag raised by me no matter the car in question, but for a specialty vehicle like a 5BW, all the flags go up. At this price point I'd look for an honest car with all the history laid out for review.

I think 19's look too small on the car, the offset is all wrong. 20's are the goldilocks option 😎 Not sure if you have seen the SC interior in person, but the front and rear seats are different colors and some find that off putting. The big thing is the carpets are off white which are not for...

Winning!

It's too bad for all the threats to ICE, green washing, and political mandates surrounding EV's because they are an interesting transportation option for the right use case (like being able to charge at work). My wife is almost a year in on a Air Pure RWD. Her prior car was a model 3...

Not heard of the issue before, but seems inevitable over the life of the car. Call me a luddite, but what was wrong with a good 'ol mechanical handle? Just talking out of my rear, but maybe disconnect the battery to reset the module?

I have the rubber accessory mat and the organizer and don't need any straps to keep it in place. I do carry other stuff like cleaning supplies (OCD), a cooler (never know when you might find beer, cheese, oysters, or wine on the road that you need to keep cool for the ride home), and the cover...

^^^...straightened out...:ROFLMAO:

My selling dealer made a point to advise on Spring Mountain and gave me some marketing materials. I would bet most dealers do that to get credit for the perceived value of offering the buyer something for free. My critical thinking machine is on overdrive and generally squashes the idea of...

I see loads of vehicles with hundreds of thousands of miles on them. A friend as a fleet of Duramax and they all have over 500k miles on the original engine and trans (and he tows skid steers all over northern CA). Every Crown Vic I've been in as a taxi have huge miles. The idea that 100k or...

Stealth is a matte finish PPF.

Look at that!! 3 across race seats, 5 point harnesses...you have a .003% chance of a future F1 driver coming out of that back seat.

@revvhigh Have you considered that the fodder for your anxiety and nightmares is less about the LT4 and more with the financial opportunity costs purchasing a 5BW presents? If the warranty doesn't give you piece of mind, something else is going on. I can't fathom a car keeping me up at night...

Ha, (not in a funny way) I missed that. A lot of those 6,000 words are about postponing life's finer things until a future date and its solid advice for sure. I hedged my bets a little and indulged in all sorts of detours and shenanigans and created some incredible memories and experiences...

Outside of the 500mi change, I follow the OM or the monitor for fluid recommendations and frequency. Grating voice guy is at least providing some sort of data. For me it's not data or some objective measure, doing a one-time low interval oil change is really just something I enjoy as a way to...

Even though you're on my ignore list for getting the auto, I clearly think you made the right choice in vehicle. When I went to Spring Mountain I was in an auto 5BW and it really is a sweet transmission. It's fascinating how it can click off seamless, yet wicked fast shifts at WOT.
