i regret to inform you they will not survive - $1 bet they are in bankruptcy at or before 12/2024
i own no position in lucid or plan to initiate one - i don’t control the investments of funds i’m in - so i may have indirect positions
it will sadden me greatly for loss of competition pushing...
few if any people would call me "unbiased" - but this review is my opinion from sitting in a stationary vehicle that was traded in with no consideration of how well the previous owner treated the vehicle - it might have been abused.
I still believe Lucid's core engineering is excellent (motor...
while at the dealership this morning I had some time to kill. Sales manager knows I'm an EV guys - walked me over to a Lucid Air and handed me the keys and suggested I check it while they dealt with some paperwork…
I was with a buddy so we decided to check out the Lucid…I did not drive it...
believe what you want to believe - but I am honestly sad tonight about the state of Porsche EVSE - EV charging is already complex and people get confused - this is simply additional complexity for future EV owners and entirely avoidable…the impact of this is erosive and confusing to those that...
post #1 updated with a disclaimer - Porsche can not be my (or any sane person's) recommendation for L2 North American charging equipment - please seek one of many many excellent alternatives for your home EV charging needs and just ignore the Porsche offerings in North America.
their cars are...
we now have confirmed reports that the Porsche Wall Charger Connect lacks greatness and suffers from similar incompatibility problems as the PMC+/PMCC in terms of charging non-Porsche EV's
I take no pleasure in this - and it is disappointing - I had high hopes for the PWCC - but this makes it a...
Porsche makes a great car and Mediocre EV
Tesla makes a great EV and a Mediocre Car
Lucid is just plain ugly
Rivian is flailing
Mercedes seems to have good tech but lacks inspiration
there are no good options.
but the Taycan is among the best sports sedan you can buy - full stop - ICE or EV...
I understand moving away from Porsche if their experience is not doing it for you - but moving to a new unproven manufacturer confuses me - I did the new start-up car maker once (Tesla) - frankly I don't have it in me to train another vehicle manufacturer…I just don't.
I wish you luck.
software (or it's lack there of) is going to be the undoing of Porsche…digital kills analog and Porsche is an analog company.
couple that with a lack of mechanical excellence (build issues) and it's going to be a hard road forward.
I just ordered one
J-1772 connector
60/48 amp charging - adjustable to any breaker size
reliable
best charging animation in the business
and supports powersharing (shared circuit) for multiple units for your future multi-EV household
$550
and you can purchase a decortative glass front (black...
