Not sure about the relevance of this very large contribution. Pretty sure we bought Lucid's not Volvo's. Software is hard, which is exactly why you expect a premium luxury vehicle to get it right. BTW - Volvo is owned by Geely and their cars are designed in China with lots of Chinese parts. Unless you are a supporter of the CCP I would not own or drive one.
Damn, your house must be very empty considering most of the electronics in the world are made in China. Might want to check how many Chinese parts are in that phone you own also.
Thank you for the insult. Last time I checked, I had a Lucid in my driveway and not a Mercedes, BMW or Audi.
Insult? He is completely right. Probably 70% of everything in your home is made in / sourced from China. And no, you're not betraying any allegiance, it's the same for all of us
Owning a Lucid doesn’t mean it should be held to a standard of perfection no other automaker, including Mercedes, BMW, or Audi, has ever met. Every premium brand has its quirks and growing pains, especially as software becomes a bigger part of the experience.
Our 2024 V60 Polestar PHEV is built in Sweden with some assembly in Belgium. Pretty sure Lucid’s financiers Saudi Arabia’s record on many things isn’t any better than China and is definitely worse than Sweden or Belgium if you want to follow that train of thought to its conclusion. The V60 Polestar PHEV costs slightly more than a Lucid Pure. The point is not to diminish software issues Lucid may be having, which are real and certainly annoying for some owners. The point is that money doesn’t buy you perfection and whether you’ve been building cars since the 1940s or since 2021, getting everything to work exactly as intended is not easy and if something doesn’t, it doesn’t mean those who are doing it suck, don’t know what they’re doing, or are not doing their best to try and solve the problem.
Not true. You’re perfect, kid. Don’t let anyone ever tell you otherwise, ya hear?!
That is too many issues for a new car, I don’t disagree with anyone on that. Especially now that you need a tow, sorry man! I don’t blame anyone being annoyed at having so many early issues, and hope Lucid figures this all out quickly.
I think this one is by design. I remember seeing in settings the option for tilt in reverse is only for the right mirror.
That's what I was told today at the SC while I was there to pick up my loaner (Air GT) and go over the issues I have with my car. It would be helpful to have both tilt, like in the Tesla's and Rivian's.
I would prefer my X only tilt the right mirror. I find the left tilt to make it almost useless.
But we have the option to set tilt levels on both mirrors in the X. Would love that option/functionality.
Yeah, I can’t make decisions for other people’s tolerances, but if the Gravity I get is in the same state as the test drive car, I’ll live with it as long as it charges, drives, and the cameras and HVAC work. Your take on it is pretty level headed. My only main issue is I want to be excited about getting the car and excited for Lucid to do well, and it’s deflating to see a number of issues and already hearing of at least 3 owners needing to take their brand new car back to service. Is manufacturing the culprit? Is it having to rush using untested suppliers? Is it just hypersensitive diagnostics throwing false errors when really the car is fine? Hard to tell.
It’s ok to be dissatisfied, just as it’s ok to say “look this BS happens with other cars too”. Giving examples of stupid software problems with other cars happening at this very moment is not “providing cover”, it is providing perspective. It would be excluding perspective if moderators blocked mentioning other vehicle software fails all for the sake of making it feel “welcoming”.
What would have been the right response? Just being curious.
