Maybe comparing apples to oranges but my Pure (DD basic), always wants to pull me back to my lane when I move over to give room to a bicyclist/pedistrian. Meanwhile, my Ford
Mach-E seems to recognize this scenario and not give the steering wheel shake in this scenario. Is there a setting I need to enable or is that functionality just not there on my Lucid and/or my base model?

If you move over after putting on the signal, does it still do this? For me, as long as I signal, it doesn’t do this for me. I have DD premium.

I did that and it does work but I feel like this might signal wrong intentions to those around me.
 
I set my lane departure warning to vibrate only a long time ago and never looked back. Yes, the vibration is annoying in the scenario you mentioned, but at least I don't have to fight the car wanting to go back to the lane.

I don't ever want my car to think it knows better than I do where the wheel should be.

Why? I signal when I am going to swerve out of my lane to make room for a bicyclist specifically to let any cars behind me know what I am doing.

It is just not the aesthetic around here to do that and might give a false message that you are going to make a turn into a driveway. The question was answered in that it doesn’t appear to have to capability without putting on the turn signal and that is fine. Was just curious if I was missing a setting or not. Score one for the Mach-E in that subtle technology difference. The Lucid is still very enjoyable!

I went to college west of Boston and worked in Cambridge and your standard is very low. As I recall, a sidewalk is a traffic lane opportunity and the breakdown lane on Route 128 becomes a traffic lane during rush hour. :p

Out here the aesthetic is to drive slowly in the left lane of a multilane street and never use a turn signal until you are already turning.
