I have a Lucid Air Grand Touring 2023 only 2600 Miles. I have encountered a major accident. While the car was backing out of my driveway, We press brake so the car stops at the incline of drive way, then we lightly tap the accelerator to continue into the street. The car failed to stop with the auto braking system on nor with the foot on the break. The vehicle proceeded backwards and hit a parked car parallel parked across the street, it continued to push the car out of the way and continued to crash into the house across the street all at a very slow pace. I have repeatedly ask Lucid to provide me all black box data and all written reports to the incident. We are talking about a major accident. This car didn't stop with foot on break or the auto braking system.
Lucid came and got the car with in 30 minutes of the accident. After numerous emails to Lucid requesting all data and reports from the car. I received a call from a service manager stating that they show the accelerator was pushed 40% of the way and that since it was pushed 40 percent of the way it over road the auto braking system. Basically they are saying that we hit the accelerator instead of break and their records show the pedal was pushed at 40 percent.
First I can tell you foot was on brake not accelerator, Secondly even if foot was on accelerator I can assure you it would be to the floor as human nature would be to press the pedal harder to stop the car as it crashed into the parallel parked car. Keep in mind this car crashed to a vehicle parallel parked and pushed it out of the way and continued to move 20 more feet after pushing the vehicle out of the way and proceeded to crash into my neighbor's house.
This was a very serious incident we are fortunate the neighbor's kids were not playing in drive-way.
In Short we believe there is a very serious issue with breaking the car when the pedal is tapped to accelerate in reverse and the car goes to regen mode when let up. Either the accelerator over ran the regen mode or the braking system failed severly. What we know this car did not stop and after numerous attempts to get the reports and data Lucid remains silent and doesnt provide us with the information.
If anyone has had any issues with stopping the car while in regen mode or not. please contact me. We are scared to death to ever drive the car again.....
