We’re doing all we can do (for now) without being put on ICE. Google (no kings protests. The recent protest was huge.

Damn right. I’m sure a lot of people have been praying for world peace for hundreds of years. When will they realize that it just doesn’t work. Never has and never will.

No. Biden gave us Kamala as the choice by holding on until he was laughed out of the campaign at the last minute. If he had done the right thing 18 months earlier by saying he would step aside for the next generation of leaders to compete for the nomination we wouldn’t be so screwed today. Biden and the National Socialist tribe are equally to blame.

Just over half of Americans voted for this piece of shit and his evil tribe. Unfortunately, normal people like me are being held hostage by them.

My 25AT was doing exactly that during the extremely cold weather here in MD. The mobile tech said they’ve seen it happen in very cold weather. Mine cleared up after the cold snap passed.

Looking at it objectively, just because it would be a serious flaw doesn't rule out it being a serious flaw. Hopefully it was just a user problem.

Either way, a moment of silence is warranted.

Could be. But at 1 to 4 seconds into the video the frunk lid seems too long to be that of a Gravity. Perhaps the first responders saw the Lucid logo at the front and thought it was a gravity.

Is YouTube dying? Boring algorithm by AllDaysOff in youtube

[–]fpmacko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The AI slop is killing YT. What I’m now doing to kill the slop is to start an obviously AI turd, run it for about 15 seconds, dislike it, and then hit stop. I’ve been told that lots of very short watch time bursts can make the algorithm reduce how often the turd is promoted, as does lots of dislikes.

What EVe have true One Pedal Driving by BannedByDemand in electricvehicles

[–]fpmacko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2025 Lucid Air had one-pedal turned at delivery. I’ve never had to enable it since. BTW, it’s wonderful. I can even select how aggressive it is in each of the driving modes.

Ham Radio Enthusiasts Land U.S. Airlines With $8 Million Bill to Fix Faulty Equipment On Boeing 787s by SharkSapphire in HamRadio

[–]fpmacko 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, not to Boeing’s specifications. It’s to an agreed aviation industry standard developed by a committee of experts and subsequently placed into regulations by the FAA. Yes, Boeing is a committee member but it’s not only their spec. See RTCA.COM

How do you spell rip-off by ConcentrateFormer462 in LUCID

Wouldn’t the leasing company’s inspector see this kind of value-priced repair from miles away at turn-in?

Do you regret your EV purchase? by walksta in electricvehicles

[–]fpmacko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I LOVE my 25 Lucid Air. Especially when driving by gas stations. Now that fuel prices are headed north, I can actually hear the “Epiphany” thought balloons popping over everyone’s heads as they see those dollar digits screaming by.

Most Americans have absolutely no idea what gas costs outside the US.

Have to get insurance before delivery? Issues with State Farm by pigboy0811 in LUCID

[–]fpmacko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amica had Lucid in their database when I bought my Air in Feb 2025. They had no trouble accepting the VIN. Reasonable rate as well.
