Maybe the PO carried a phone or something on his belt? He was fastest in the west on drawing his phone from his belt, yup, 'ol iPhone McGillacuddy... As a tangent, you can clearly see why some of us don't buy into the "leather conditioning" product fallacy. All that stuff does is make the...

My guess is the customer paying the bill offers the dealer quite a bit more money than warranty work does. It's unfortunate that morally bankrupt people are drawn to employment in service departments because it needlessly piles on more reasons to despise the dealer network model as a whole.

Hopefully someone can post details on the specific plug in question, where it is, and what to check. When I first read this thread I was thinking it was the drain plug, but I gather now it's some sort of oil galley plug or similar.

Don't count on the Kong port adding much, maybe 10-15% more and mostly at high RPM. I'm know I'm getting older when I like the subtle whine and stock stance of the 5BW, its perfect.

So many questions here...what actually happened? What did they do to resolve the issue? You have Mark Reuss' email??

Sometimes the fuel tank feels like a secret compartment...I keep putting gas in it but it's always empty.

I hardwired my Tesla L2 Charger myself 4 years ago, and then within 30 minutes had the Lucid L2 charger swapped in its space with the proper crumped on lugs. Hardwired doesn't mean its permanently part of house, there is still a connection at the charger that can be undone in 1 minute. The...

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!
