touring has 92kw pack; charge it weekly to 80% but might leave it plugged in now that we're seeing 5c degrees or less
range based off what i remember from trip screen is about 500k on mostly smooth setting with high regen
you get used to the aggressive regen but sometimes i still find stepping through the mechanical brake on throttle during parking can be annoying
buttons on steering wheel look nice but are trash to use, base sound system is meh, wish got powered frunk so would actually use it but trunk is still plenty
very good seats. ride is stellar. even the little things like almost silent wipers and how the rain beads off the wing mirrors is kinda nice until you remember the app doesn't allow scheduled cabin pre-heat (from a company that only builds EV, ugh)

There's no precondition on the Lucid? That's kind of shitty, part of the allure of an EV is being able to precondition the cabin.
We didn't really use the steering controls, but I'll be honest I'm not a huge fan of the two touchpad things. Wife also mentioned how far the signal stalk is from the steering wheel.

I was, but I didn't mind it too much as long as I didn't have to pay for it. Mine might have an OT on Friday night shift car. It shouldn't be that bad. My neighbour is on their 4th X5 and they don't have that many problems.
The reasoning is just she didn't get hurt on a pretty big impact and she feels safe in it.
