Reverse: fuck toll roads.

As a developer, we typically have staging sites for that. There’s no reason this needed to exist on the production website. Unless...

AZ resident here, had a good buddy who left Lucid earlier this year as he says their whole operation is a shitshow. Especially noteworthy was how he was shocked there hasn’t been multiple lawsuits/OSHA investigations as people are getting injured on a daily basis. 

The Artura starts and drives away on electric power and depending on mode, the ICE starts up but idles while the car continues in electric power, cutting in once engine temp is up. The nerd in me loves that.

I’m guessing that the good people at Chevrolet were doing some testing with the live version overnight. What they neglected to consider is that lots of enthusiasts play around with car configurators late at night.

how does changing the front air dam make a statement about electrification on a mid engine car

I think there might be a good number of people in the Lucid bracket who are worth less now than they thought they were a bit ago.

If I couldn’t afford a Lucid at the moment, and I then got 14 calls trying to make me change my mind, my mind would be that I would never buy a Lucid for the rest of my life, and that I would work very hard to make sure that no one I know would ever buy one either.

I’d bet this slots in between the regular model and the ZO6. While I get the hybrid is a novelty, I can’t see them selling many when it’s slower than the ZO6 with more weight and without the exotic engine.

I think there’s at least a 50/50 chance this was deliberate. Gotta keep that hype machine rolling.

Intern has been fired

This kind of reeks of desperation. I agree wholeheartedly with the employee who commented that this doesn’t align with the image of a luxury product. Unfortunate that this kind of pressure is being put on the employees, and ultimately the customers.

Calling the customer doesn’t do anything unless the manager has the authority to move the delivery date up or make some sort of concessions.

Dude I know.  I worked at a dealer so I always had the lisle tool with the reverse threads handy just in case.  From what I remember if you drove it around to get it hot first and sprayed some pb blaster it would usually break free.  Some guys swore by using 3/8" impacts to break them loose but I was too scared to try.

In before anyone says “Eight unbroken Ford Triton spark plugs”

My ignition tumbler broke when I was coming out of a Taco Bell one day in my 1999 Ford Escort. Turned the key, and zero resistance. Well, the bright side, was the steering wheel unlocked. But, that was about it. Being broke, I didn’t want nor could afford a tow. So, I sat in the parking lot with my little tacklebox of…

I was at the BMW Dealer buying a small clip for my heater core replacement on my BMW 850.

I replaced the cams and mechanical pumps on a V10 TDI without dropping the engine. It just required sacrificing all the skin on my wrists to get at the parts on the back of the head/block.

Sister calls from 1000 miles away with stress in her voice. “Any ideas why my car won’t start?”

Thats easy, my old R6.
