These articles prove that the auto magazines do it better than most of the youtubists

MT--"ACTIVATE TANK TURN, NOW!!!"

Maybe more appropriate to “ACTIVATE FULL TANK MODE, NOW!!!” Good to hear it was a friendly encounter!

This is awesome.

BUT

They didn't get the memo to record the charging speed when you see the R1T charging!

Doing the math:
133 kWh * (80% - 29%)/100 / 2.116667 hours = avg charge rate of 32kW But maybe that's why they're on the phone.

This has inspired me to use the gravel overflow lot when the asphalt one is full at my son’s flag football game.

i'd love to see the onboard compressor in use (using it with the air compressor accessories kit) to inflate a vehicle or bike tire or something. I'm curious how powerful it is (5 CFM+)?

I can’t imagine it’s going to be more than 2 or 3 cfm.

Lmao. Double the range with a smaller battery my ass.

Super quick back if the envelope scaling Lucid's efficiency up from the drag force of an Air to the size of an R1T with a drag coefficient of 0.3 would give the Lucid "truck" 300 miles of range.

Conserve mode 308 miles , with 20 inch wheels. Nice!

For sure. They mentioned in an IG story having an issue with EA at a charger. This looks like the classic EA call. Lol

Lmao. Double the range with a smaller battery my ass.

And cost twice as much

And cost twice as much

Dude drank too much Lucid tech Kool-aid.

I hope so! That would be a disappointing charge rate, for sure.
