True, but the folks with the purse strings made that demand, I am sure. My guess is a whole lot of folks who've been working in Arizona are going to have a 6-12 month relocation to KSA. Certainly the managers are going to be spending most of their time there in the short term.

Another thing that an AI assistant would be great for: Mid-road trip changes in plans. If you don't like the EV charging station it picked out, it would be nice to say "Find me another station; I'd rather use Ionna" or whatever. Or questions like "If we decided to take a quick detour and go...

We've strayed pretty far from the OG topic here, so let's swing it back. Lucid did demo a much improved AI assistant early this year. They have not yet shipped it. That's unfortunate, but I'd rather they get it right than ship something that's broken. Personally, I don't have much of a need...

PSI sensors in tires are not accurate. They just aren't. Cheap, $2 parts that were added to cars for regulatory reasons. Meant more to tell you when pressure is dangerously low, not to give you an accurate number. Measure with your air compressor and trust that. And always measure cold.

Could not agree more. Expecting perfection out of the gate is a sure fire way to set yourself up for disappointment. The hope is that because Cosmos is easier to build (just fewer parts, and the benefit of years of design / factory experience) it will have far fewer issues out of the gate, and...

My Air Touring, on the other hand, had a lifetime average over 3.2. And that's with me making no effort at all to drive slow, with the exception of longer road trips. I got over 4.0 several times in that car. The weight and extra drag really hurt the Gravity quite a bit. It would be less of a...

Dynamic Range is a bit of a mystery to me. I find both the efficiency number and the miles remaining to be lower than what I can actually get. Certainly lower than what my efficiency since last charge suggests. And it's not all that dynamic, either. It's not just the past ten or twenty minutes...

I think the miles are more important than the time, if that makes sense. So, if it's been a year, but you've only put 5k miles on the car, the service team will probably even tell you don't bother just yet. But if you have the 12k miles on the car, you should probably schedule the service...

Congrats! Welcome.

On my weekday commutes, I tend to drive myself to work, but then use Dream Drive Pro on the way home, as there’s a lot more traffic and it’s not as much fun to drive in stop and go. Being able to do that alone is worth the price I paid for the upgrade.

Yeah. Compared favorably with many other brands. I just drove from Long Beach to San Francisco and used Dream Drive for the bulk of it. Zero issues. Really great for long stretches of road where your foot would otherwise get tired. It’s come a long way, and already does just about everything...

Going back to the ad, I just feel like it’s so important right now for Lucid to differentiate itself from other EV brands. Rivian, you must admit, does this very well. It’s not my cup of tea, but I can’t say they aren’t offering something unique. What Lucid offers is all about the pure driving...

I did manage to blow out my rear speaker in my Air. The service folks said they hadn't seen that happen before. They replaced it under warranty for me. Having said that, many more people have had issues with their rear parcel shelf, which does sound remarkably like a blown speaker. Either way...

I'm so glad to see so many agree with me that this ad is great. I thought I was the only one who wanted Lucid to turn focus to the "feeling" of owning and driving a Lucid. The biggest takeaway, as far as Cosmos goes: No light bar. Just headlights. All those AI images are assuming a light bar...

People like or hate cars for all sorts of reasons. Sounds like C&D’s reviewer here favors drivability, fun, handling, performance over everything else. Which happens to be my approach to judging what makes for a “good” car. If you disagree, feel free to read other magazines. What an amazing...
