SWEET!!
Snake likes his, I like mine too. Just today I washed and put new tires on it. Good mileage , good power, comfy, bells and whistles that I actually use some of.
You may as well buy a new door lock and put it in the parts bin for when you'll need it. Not that we've experienced such things..

So like @Voodoo Tom said… I don’t need door locks.You may as well buy a new door lock and put it in the parts bin for when you'll need it. Not that we've experienced such things..

That thing looks 3D printer made.
I doubt that anyone in Arkansas even knows how to punch a door lock cylinder. Its so much more fun to break the window!

Yokohama CTX. They ride really well, for the 20 miles on them so far. Feel that they're better than the OEM that it came with.
And honestly, it was overdue. The others were done

Not 3D printed but lots of nice CNC machining. I’ve seen it and it’s a beauty. Makes a guy like me wanna shift gears from making MC parts to making stuff that goes boom.

Pretty sure the they were hankook, and I got 34,941 miles, should have replaced about 500 miles ago. But no belts showing, still a little ( very little) tread and even wear.

That's what mine came with. They seemed like fair tires so I bought another set since they were cheaply priced, where tires are concerned.

The first few launches can make you feel ill, until you get used to it.A customer of mine just picked up one of these. He says it's very fast.

Exactly. Like why did a Bentley employee buy a Ford.
Just because you work for a company doesn't mean you can afford it's products.

Like my client flew their jet into CO from Seattle and back home the same day. I had to fly common carrier, 5+ hrs each way.Such a relatable comparison!!! Doesn’t everyone buy a Cessna?
. Although it was cool, when I picked them up they just walked off the plane, out the gate and into the car. Maybe 200 ft.
Same when I dropped them off. No security check involved.

I mean, the base model Lucid is only about 15-20% more than the base e-tron at MSRP. I assume he wouldn't have to pay MSRP as an employee. 15-20% is a pretty common employee discount.

I may be off by a few grand, but the only Lucid air that you could buy was the dream edition at $170k. This is per motor trend a few months ago. That's up there. It may have changed in the last month.
I'm guessing it's a matter of availability and they don't have any in stock. Did you ask them why the Audi?
But then the Audi is a great looking car, do it may be that.

You may be right, as far as what's actually available now. Their website shows a model starting at $77,400. We did chat about why the e-tron, and their reasons weren't necessarily anything that reflected poorly on Lucid. Truthfully, knowing Lucid's challenges in getting cars out I'm guessing they aren't offering employee deals on cars. I actually couldn't get an employee deal on an e-tron right now either.

Not concerned in the slightest. I bought 10 shares at $44 a few months back. They were down to about $20 today but everything in the market is way down. I consider it a no brainer. One day those shares will be worth ten times or more when I am ready to cash out.
