Lucid is on another level of entry though. They are beautiful for sure.
Just used FSD from Johnston to Minnesota border without one intervention, worked nearly perfect. It only switches out of the passing lane when it sees someone behind you, which I don't love.
It does unless someone is coming from behind. If you want to switch lanes, you can just put on turn signal and it will switch lanes.So it left lane loafs? Grrr. Did you just manually move it over?
At least the estimate was pretty accurateI hate to admit this because people will be " this is why I won't buy an EV". I left my mother's house in northern Iowa and it said that I could drive to Albert Lee to be safe and charge, which was 20 miles of our way. Instead, I took the risk and drove to Dows, which said we'd arrive with 8% and that's the route we took and we arrived with 7%, after driving 79mph. I'm not a risk taker, so I was sweating this for a few minutes
I’ve already thought through that problem. I have a flashlight with a crank on it to charge electronics in an emergency. I’m just going to put that in the car. I figure if I run out of juice, I’ll just crank for a bit until I can get to a charging station.I hate to admit this because people will be " this is why I won't buy an EV".

Oh, I never thought of that one. I was thinking about adding a solar panel that charges by phone to see how that would work./I’ve already thought through that problem.

You are both serious?Oh, I never thought of that one. I was thinking about adding a solar panel that charges by phone to see how that would work./
Sadly no. But I do have four kids and the thought of them cranking away to charge our car is oddly satisfying.You are both serious?
You could have a crank like the old cars had to start the engine. For every 1000 cranks you could get about 50 feet so you act like a drill sergeant for the kids to just keep cranking.Sadly no. But I do have four kids and the thought of them cranking away to charge our car is oddly satisfying.
So if you are in FSD does it pull right up to the charger for you? How about in a parking lot?I hate to admit this because people will be " this is why I won't buy an EV".

With the amount of time and money I spend taking them places, it actually kind of seems like a fair trade.You could have a crank like the old cars had to start the engine. For every 1000 cranks you could get about 50 feet so you act like a drill sergeant for the kids to just keep cranking.

I’ve not tried it with a super charger but it will self park. You can select a spot in a parking lot or have it parallel. I also think you can have it leave the parking spot and come pick you up (like valet).So if you are in FSD does it pull right up to the charger for you? How about in a parking lot?
It's a two step process at this point. It turned off FSD about 100 feet from the entrance, then as you're driving by the chargers you can pick a spot and it will back you right to the charger. It probably takes it 10 seconds and me 5 seconds, so I just do it myself.So if you are in FSD does it pull right up to the charger for you? How about in a parking lot?
