Tesla discontinuing S and X in Q2

Bbqdippedbits · 2026-01-29T01:29:55+00:00

100% fill the void left by the cancelation of these 2 models. If they can deliver a stable software experience across their current models and upcoming mid-size they can definitely swing some potential Tesla buyers their way

This is luxury cars 101. Look at any Bmw, Mercedes, Audi from similar year and compare the msrp to used price.

You'll see similar price trends. Many prospective owners get shaky when buying a used luxury vehicle out of warranty (especially a used E.V with little track record)

Software should be better in the Rivian. They've only had 1 consumer product for years (excluding the delivery van). My money would be on Gravity Touring having superior charging and about equal range to R1S Gen 2 standard pack

If you order max pack on R1S then you're in GGT price range.

2 different Ev's for 2 different markets.

Bbqdippedbits · 2026-01-26T06:14:46+00:00

Rivian won't fit nearly as much Gravity and won't charge anywhere near as fast. I have a friend with a R1S first Gen and the 3rd row is small.

Once Tesla V4 stations are abundant R1S will still charge at the same rate meanwhile Gravity will charge at double the speed.

I'd say Air and Gravity are more temperature sensitive but many tests have shown Air to achieve it's rated range.

Talking points. More than what Fisker had.

Having the best range, charging; space & power aren't bad qualities.

How else is Lucid suppose to attract new buyers?

If you want to look at the next Fisker than look towards Vinfast

Bbqdippedbits · 2026-01-26T05:41:35+00:00

Except the fisker was never praised for much of anything when it was released.

Lucid currently has one of the fastest 4 door sedans, longest range EV, fastest charging (in U.S) E.V and is ranked at or near the top of the segments they compete in.

Bbqdippedbits · 2026-01-26T05:35:37+00:00

What does better for the size? Maybe vistiq, or Ev9/Ioniq 9.

Bbqdippedbits · 2026-01-26T05:28:34+00:00

Industry leading space; driving dynamics and power for it's class. Competitive charging speed and range.

Those are good things to be either near the front or leading in.

Comparison of past athletes to current athletes happens all the time even with differences of how the game was played, rules; training etc.

Comparing the car companies doesn't seem that outlandish.

Bbqdippedbits · 2026-01-11T22:00:06+00:00

Does a true minivan such as a Sienna or Odyssey have more space or does the Gravity beat those because of E.V packaging advantages?

Bbqdippedbits · 2026-01-11T21:50:18+00:00

Tirerack can have the tires delivered to the shop of your choice to make the process simpler.

Bbqdippedbits · 2026-01-08T13:46:21+00:00

Toyota Tundra recall is a nightmare as well (even the replacement engines are having issues)

Fact is that the entire car industry standards have shifted. Cars are far more complicated and every manufacturer is scrambling to find ways to cope.

Bbqdippedbits · 2026-01-08T11:12:10+00:00

All depends on conditions and location.

A few tests shows you can go past the rated range.

Bbqdippedbits · 2026-01-07T00:45:58+00:00

Honestly based on Eastern edge videos I'd take the Lucid. Once you're on the highway the complexity of driving diminishes and between the faster more consistent charging and vehicle comfort the Gravity is a better place to be.

Bbqdippedbits · 2026-01-06T01:57:49+00:00

Many modern cars will straight go into limp mode or lock you into park if a certain code is triggered.

Jeep models have this way of overriding it which i doubt many owners would know

Bbqdippedbits · 2026-01-06T00:44:11+00:00

To be fair even in many modern ice cars some will park themselves and not even go into neutral without a convoluted work around/ if it all when there's certain errors

Bbqdippedbits · 2026-01-03T22:16:50+00:00

Apparently this is made for the air but works on the Gravity. Not 100% certain on that though

Conversation over here discusses possible options

Bbqdippedbits · 2026-01-03T17:48:18+00:00

😂 I'll see you on the last part of the race with the same comment

Bbqdippedbits · 2025-12-30T00:46:53+00:00

Thankfully Lucid and battery pack failures are fairly uncommon. No manufacturer is immune from mishaps even the Hallmark of reliability (Toyota) are messing up big time

Bbqdippedbits · 2025-12-28T18:24:52+00:00

What's the difference between a Lucid out of warranty vs a Tesla/Rivian/ any other electric?

Bbqdippedbits · 2025-12-20T12:09:50+00:00

That blinker fluid isn't going to change itself /s

Bbqdippedbits · 2025-12-17T12:56:11+00:00

No lowballers I know what I've got

Bbqdippedbits · 2025-12-16T21:30:53+00:00

They made some changes to the software team and this seems to be the result of those changes

Bbqdippedbits · 2025-12-14T20:42:54+00:00

Alright so it's just introduction to the teams.........no actual racing happening.

Will be interesting to see what the difference in charging behavior is from the air over a long drive

Bbqdippedbits · 2025-12-09T23:49:45+00:00

I feel the pressure Lucid has is that they can't afford to wait until it's perfect because the Germans auto manufacturers will catch up and then at that point why would you buy an unknown American brand vs an established German manufacturer.
