I hope you make it too (and beyond) and you never get stuck in a Tesla during a storm surge.

I thought of you the other day Charley. A surgeon I call on recently took delivery of his Lucid “Air”.
He loves it!
You’re right, it hauls azz!

I saw these two YouTube clips and immediately thought of Charley's Lucid. Very good details to know more about the underside construction of the Lucid Air.

Thanks. That was a great video by a apparently smart guy.

I'm 5 years behind you and have the same goals..

Which reminds me, I need to get my arse moving and try to build all the cars I have. I need another part time job...

The video links that NV posted are done by a company that buys new electric vehicles, completely takes them apart and writes detailed reports on them for other manufacturers to buy and analyze.Every fastener etc.Pretty impressive.

I did not realize that is what they did, kind of just stumbled onto those clips by accident.

Being a mechanical Engineer myself and looking carefully at those videos there are surely some things Lucid can do to reduce part count and fastening methodologies thereby reducing costs. I too would be concerned about part clearances but the end of the band clamp at the start of the first video could easily be spun around to reduce contact with the rubber hose beside it. The edges of the clamp depending on sharpness could be another matter.
