Anybody who calls active aero bits stupid looking doesn’t get the point of active aero bits.

VIR is at 531 feet. I wonder how long a Lucid would last at some place like Pikes Peak raceway at 6000 ft. I wonder how long a Taycan could last.

Problem with Lucid, from Car and Driver: A 4.1-mile lap in Hot Lap mode uses about 25 percent of the battery and puts enough heat into the motors and pack that the Sapphire is only good for one fast lap at a time. Typical American car BS.

? Uh oh.

My gas Audi will not upshift going downhill when the throttle is lifted. It will hold gear until 4000+ rpm. Great for towing.

“Drivers now have the option to choose between normal or reduced deceleration when lifting off the accelerator pedal, which essentially means high or low levels of regenerative braking are being applied. However, now, when the brake pedal is tapped, the vehicle decides whether to continue using...

But the level of regen doesn’t change from what I’m reading. There is no blending only adding a fixed amount of regen. It might meet the technical definition but it’s a far cry from what Porsche is doing. Do a word search of the document, the word blend is not used once.

I don’t think this blended braking at all. From I’m reading it simply keeps regenerating when the brake pedal is pushed, whereas before the regeneration would shut off. This is more like additive braking I.e regen+brakes. The level of regen seems constant regardless of brake pedal pressure.

Everyone knows the Chinese do everything better than the rest of the world. Chun says so.

Not everyone. I don’t read car reviews. I am quite capable of driving cars myself, and making my own decisions. I am not alone.

Wow 16 years of growth and 1 year down 3%.

Michael Young in Hong Kong repairs those older stretch link bracelets.

It is a rare one for sure. My wife found a Speedmaster in a pawnshop and thought it was a fake because of a chintzy bracelet. I assured her was legit, and still have the watch with the bracelet.

I still want to know why Lucid has not run a lap at the Nurburgring.

Vir is not the Nurburgring. And it’s not stock. “Sure, the Sapphire gets a typical comprehensive suspension overhaul, with substantially stiffer springs, bushings, and rear anti-roll bar, as well as additional negative camber front and rear.”

The Lucid Air has been out since 2021.

Sapphire is not new.

I am very curious why the Lucid Saphire has not set a Nurburgring time.

Peters not going to get the OTA updates he was promised.
