Just scheduled my delivery for 8/14 in Atlanta. I had a tri-max order that I had postponed for a year, and debated whether I truly wanted another Quad. If my Lucid Gravity order had come available before the Quad showed up, I was likely going to take that vehicle instead. Looks like I'll be...
Couldn't get a mobile service appointment so I dropped by the local service center about 10am. They initally said it was going to take them until the end of business to complete and I would get ride credits (UBER I'm sure). I told them I drove 1.5 hrs to get to them and would require 3 hours of...
For me, because I have a current 12v battery warning and don't want the 12v to die and leave me stranded until it can get replaced by service. I agree, the HV should act as an alternator but something is clearly amiss on a 1 year old car. "Restoring" the battery as much as possible with a...
I put my 12v on a trickle charge last night, and it really wasn't too bad. Just pop the cowl cover off and the driver side red cap (mine is a later revision with the single battery/capacitor).
I left it on the charger all day/night and the Optima 400 charger is still only showing 75%, which...
Got my 12v warning yesterday. Atlanta service center won't schedule mobile and 1st appointment is mid-January... I can't imagine the 12v actually surivies long enough to get serviced, guess time will tell.
Randomly, this morning mine started working again. It sounds worse than before, possibly worse than Spotify premium to me, but is functioning again for whatever that is worth.
There are still jump leads in the rear, as has always been the case. They stated they added a positive post under the hood as well, but battery changes will require removal of passenger seat. Watch around the 4:25 mark of the video I shared.
I stumbled onto this video, which I probably would not have watched...but it started playing and I wasn't initially paying attention until I started hearing things I had not heard or noticed previously. Mostly body shop and repair center focused, but interesting data points.
Examples I found...
800+hp and 400+ miles... sounds like a R1S Tri to me. Have you priced a tri recently, not that far off, in fact the Gravity order I placed was within $5k of my R1S Tri-max.
The bridgestone is slightly heavier than the OE Scorpion, which certainly is not helping. I experienced similar going from the OE to the Michelin Defender Platinum as well. I've heard some tires get more efficent as they "break-in." While I have a difficult time believing the tire gets more...
Did you buy one of the light bar tint kits (TWraps or similar) or just have your installer do it?
Also, any feedback on efficiency compared to your quad? Supposed to be trading in my R1S Quad 20" for Tri on 22 next Tuesday. I'm seeing mixed, and frankly somewhat disappointing, range figures out...
My custom build tri-motor purchase process email just came through... Now I have a decision to make, as I really am debating whether a Macan EV is the better choice (for me - not a traditional cross shop). My Macan order is stuck at the jacksonville port for 2 months now... and this would be...
