Hi all,
I am what you could consider an early adopter of tech in general and cars in particular. I was excited when I found out about Lucid years ago, and decided to put my name up for a Dream Edition.
The car's finish, and overall quality is top notch for a first effort. Customer service is friendly and always available, but living in Florida has proven a challenge to say the least.
As an example I had to drive from Miami to Tampa, which is a 280 mile trip. I was fully charged, never entered the performance mode, was in sitting traffic for 20 minutes or so, and barely made it! Once in Tampa I looked for an Electrify America fast charger. There was one on their website, but actually there wasn't when I drove to a shady parking lot with no charger. I ended up at a GM dealer that had a 240 volt setup. The car showed an almost 14 hour charging time for a full battery. I couldn't wait that long and thus had a tow truck pick the car and send it pack to Miami.
Overall this is a pretty discouraging experience, I can't even say that I blame Lucid for it. Car is great but can't live with it in FL. Even Miami doesn't seem to have fast charging station that would enable a 80% charge in 20 minutes.
Any comments welcome.
Thanks
