290-300 miles is absolutely doable. I have a regular route I drive with fairly rural roads where I aim for 65mph (I set the adaptive cruise, and there's no passing, so sometimes it's a bit less). It's about 20-25 miles each way, so enough for me to get a decent average for the trip, and...

Exactly, this is about as simple as cross referencing the list of owners against cell tower records, and I have a hard time believing they even end up with more than 10 people who were in the area at that time. About the only way he could be less inconspicuous would be driving an Acid Green GTS...

I'd do 600 miles of range 100%. It's not that I plan to drive 600 miles non-stop, it's that I want far more control over where I stop and for how long. With the Taycan, by the time I've driven for a couple hours, I need to be getting ready to stop for 30 minutes , and if that charger is busy...

Musk didn't found Tesla though, and was also removed as CEO of X.com before they became Paypal. He has been a part of influential companies, but I would not consider him a genius.

That's interesting and encouraging for sure. Once the Macan EV drops, I wouldn't be surprised to see it in the 30-40% range. Porsche has to be salivating at the thought of electrifying the lineup, and as long as they can get the software and service figured out, it might be a really easy...

I just don't get it I guess. Even if you really want a Lucid, I'd rather get the $150k model and another $100k car of your choice for tracking.

You mean I can't find all the answers to life's questions on Quora? But it's peer reviewed with upvotes and downvotes, seems legit to me /s

I'm just gonna drop this right here: To add to that though, your personal experience of going through some hot summers and cold winters is relevant in the same way that Jeffrey Dahmer probably went out to eat at McDonald's a few times. It misses the bigger picture of combining all the facts...

Absolutely. There's so many people convinced that complete capitalism is the solution to all problems, and that regulations only get in the way of honest hard working people trying to build their own companies so they can hire other hard working people. The sad reality is that in many cases...

Like most things in life, just about everyone is in a gray area in the middle. I could certainly downsize my standard of living and have a positive impact, but I'll also say that many of the ways that I consume goods/services simply don't have strong eco-friendly options available. For...

Oh good, I was worried that someone was cross-shopping the two cars, and was trying to figure out how someone could be in a spot where both cars might be able to meet their needs. Maybe I'd buy the Hummer if I lived in Texas and needed to assert dominance on the people rolling coal and trying...

I just about lost it at this point "Since you’ve probably read about EV fires, here’s a site that keeps tabs just on TESLA EV fires https://www.tesla-fire.com/, now at 85 and growing almost daily. " Now I hate Tesla as much as anyone, but when you call 85 fires in 9 years (or even 5 fires in...

What I'm really struggling with here are the proportions. The silhouette looks pretty similar to a Taycan, but then you see the door open and the rear seats are practically on top of the wheels, which makes me think it's 10-20" shorter than the Taycan. Now if they can fit 100kWh into that sort...

I completely agree with you on the reasons for getting a Taycan, but assuming the specs I'd posted are correct, a single Lucid motor generates more power than a Taycan Turbo and weighs 400 pounds less than the combined motors in the Taycan. They're doing something right, though it's probably...

Ha, I'm always amazed at how easy it is to be bad at sales. All you have to do in many cases like that is answer questions and let the product sell itself. I'll hand it to my dealer because that's exactly what they did. I showed up unannounced in jeans and a t-shirt, and asked told them I...

No worries, I honestly hadn't thought about it in those terms, and it sure does sound pretty crazy compared to other manufacturers. I found this neat article that went over some of the technical details on how they did it too...

I mean, it's been independently verified driving at 70mph getting 500 mile range, so I'm not really sure what to tell you: https://insideevs.com/reviews/562511/lucid-air-range-test-record/ As far as I'm aware, they've achieved some great things in terms of drag coefficient and designing their...

To summarize the reasons why my cross-shopping of the Lucid lasted about 5 minutes: - Looks (I'd like to say that this is subjective, but I really don't think I've seen someone suggest that the Lucid looks better) - Greatly prefer/need the wagon body style - Manufacturer/service (Lucid quality...

It looks interesting, and hoping to see a ton more competition like this, but no way I'm buying a Lotus EV when they have fewer than 50 US dealerships as far as I can tell, and I bet most independent shops aren't going to touch a 6 figure EV. Oh, and this is their first EV, so it surely will...

Either the writer or the presenter has no idea what the word hypothesis means, and makes me question the entirety of the article. Calling something a hypothesis is just declaring your initial guess before you do more rigorous study of the subject. It neither implies true or false, and calling...
