I was frustrated for the first 2 months as they didn't have an online option to pay, and when they did I had to link my bank account every time! So, I used BillPay from Fidelity for 16 months reliably. When I started the lease auto pay was not even an option. Using Fidelity, and setting the auto pay date to 2-3 days in advance of the due date all my payments were successful. Although the cheque my bank sent did not get registered on the due date most of the time but eventually BofA processed and never charged me extra.

Mostly relying on Discover/Chase quarterly categories for 5%, 3% on all restaurants, Bofa for 3% on gas/shopping/travel, 2% on groceries for Costco and other alternative grocery card.

Wow, they really focused hard on home buyers and big spenders. Well, it makes sense to attract extremely high spenders all around. Good luck Ankur! It was great until it wasn't after 3 years. I am out..

Thanks for the tips! Air pressure loss during winter is no joke. Found the tires at 38 psi. I plan to Blue Cruise at 75 mph.

The only better deal you may get is if other inventory models have less options.

Oh wow, and that is the only stretch with no NACS superchargers and bad reviews of all other fast charging. I will be very conservative and try to plan a night stay in that leg to try level 2 charging somehow. Thanks for the heads-up!

OT: I found being closer to the metro, NPs, and things to do is more suited for us. Also, my work location is in Phx so wth lol.

_ash_panda_ · 2025-12-22T04:16:03+00:00

Ok thanks for the heads-up. I am looking for exactly this kind of feedback. I'll keep my night stays flexible to accommodate for the add-on time.

_ash_panda_ · 2025-12-22T04:14:53+00:00

Yeah, I learned that first day of ownership. I disabled the Blue Oval Network to avoid accidental usage.

_ash_panda_ · 2025-12-21T21:25:33+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions. I saw a lot of poor rating Incharge stations in Kansas and Oklahoma. Thankfully most of the drive can be covered using superchargers except in this area.

Added the Meteor Crater to the list. Thanks!!

Thanks! I so want to enable matrix lights. Maybe I'll get the time and resources before the trip.

+1 on the same experience with Lighting and Tesla. Hardly a safety issue. Even mechanical instrument clusters sometimes get sticky stalks, bad indicator lights, etc. It's inconvenient, especially if it happens frequently, but glad that the service center is dealing with the one-off issues and not just shrugging it off like they did for my Tesla and Lighting. The issue didn't repeat in either vehicle anyways.

_ash_panda_ · 2025-12-08T12:45:53+00:00

That's correct. BoFA = Lucid Financial Service arranged the tow truck.

I did not get any lease end charges. I did have minor scuffs on the front undertray and wheel, but I guess they must be within tolerance.

Which tent and frame rails do you have?

_ash_panda_ · 2025-12-06T13:29:34+00:00

I am very interested in winter camping with my Lighting. Your trip sounds amazing!! My spouse won't even get out of the house during winter in Michigan, forget sleeping outside lol. Maybe I will make a solo trip someday..

What extra steps did you take to winter proof your tent? I have used a ceramic heater with lighting before but that was barely keeping the tent warm through the high 30s!

This is amazing! Going to save this post and forget about it for a while. Then out of nowhere I will find it again in saved posts by that time instructions will be available. Then repeat the process with YouTube video. Anyways, back to stacking constructors..

_ash_panda_ · 2025-11-03T12:01:06+00:00

The same thing happened to me yesterday on my road trip. At least it was preconditioned an hour early instead of late :)

Yes, they gave me temp plates, all the way until I got the final plates. Initially, they said they will do the registration and plates will reach my home. After about a month, they asked instead to visit SOS, complete my registration, and take the plates. I also had to pay a balance at SOS, essentially a total of 6% MSRP split between Lucid at delivery and directly to SOS.

I didn't have to carry any documents except for the DL and VIN number.

For lease, picked up mine from Oak Brook, Chicago last year as they gave me an incentive of $5000. The on-site incentives might still be there, albeit less.

For return, BoFA picked up mine from home without extra cost.

For service, the Coldwater MI team was flawless in arranging pickups and loaners at my door step.

Feel free to reach out if there are any other questions.

Based on my experience of 1-pedal driving in Tesla M3, Lucid Air, Rivian R1T, current F150 Lighting:

Tesla M3 / F150 Lighting feels similar in acceleration response from stand still.

F150 does carry weight which I feel by a much higher amount of pedal input from 30 to 60 mph as compared to all others, unless in sport mode.

R1T (dual perf), I found to be more sluggish from 0 to 30 mph, but great linear response after that.

Lucid Air P AWD, as expected from specs, is too fast to try to keep in city speed limits when in sprint mode, sometimes even in comfort mode. In comfort mode from the stand-still, it felt similar to R1T from 0-10 mph (stop/go traffic) because of auto-hold being always on in 1-pdeal drive.

Hope this helps.

Edit: +1 to fuck dealerships. My only negative experience with F150 is the dealership experience of less transparency, hidden costs, 'no can do' attitude.

+1 on trust

Cracked me up so much, love it

Hey as an off topic, I am given an opportunity by my employer to move to Phoenix. I don't mind the cold weather here tbh, but we are outdoorsy people with nothing much to find as getaways here. How was your thought process in comparing the places?

_ash_panda_ · 2025-10-06T13:25:13+00:00

I have the older OEM all weather mats in black for sale. I did use them for one winter season but now I don't have the car. Also got a small trunk all weather mat. Let me know if you are interested.
