A Bit of Perspective From a Long-ish Term Owner

Yeah I just hit the ignore on people like this watermelon guy who’s apparently focused on creating “content” not after solutions at all.

People like @socktucker are not the same as watermelon guy. At least I don’t see him trying to create a bunch of utube.

I thought @watermelonrooste was @socktucker 's evil alter ego...

Let's not exaggerate, the software has definitely not caught up. It certainly is better, but it is missing many features that are available on competitors and even vehicles at a much lower price point.

I also don't care about FSD, but many do. To remain competitive this needs to catch up, and soon.

The hardware has started to lag as well. Air is still using an antiquated locking/unlocking system that has been the source of much complaining since the beginning. Six years later, no change. NACS has become the standard for almost every electric vehicle, even their own Gravity.

I do love that you are so positive about the brand, but we all need to be objective as well. If Lucid is to survive, they need to keep up and even surpass the competition in software, hardware, sales, and service.

I respectfully disagree, at least about the Gravity. The Air is generation 1. And you never expect a 5 year old design to be current. Bit like complaining my 10-year-old Tesla doesn’t have FSD 14.

Regarding FSD functionality…..only Tesla fanboys care about that to that extreme. Not saying Lucid shouldn’t develope it, but not having it is not that big a deal that complainers complain about.

‘ Oh….but it doesn’t have FSD’” …….so what….. 99% of vehicles sold don’t have it and it’s not like Lucid us not developing it. People need to be realistic instead of focusing on something that isn’t safe right now, Want to killed or kill someone else…. ahead and use FSD.

You were chastising out of spec for not doing a software reboot on their Gravity to fix the lane centering. That’s not indicative of software working as it should. Every day we see posts involving software on the Air and Gravity not working as they should. I have two other cars in my household that rely heavily on software. Neither of them require software resets - ever. Lucid still has a long way to go. Suggesting otherwise denies reality.

And with regards to Tesla and FSD, there are a lot of owners here that own Lucid’s and Tesla’s. Trashing their Tesla ownership experience and use of FSD is petty and small. Their enjoyment has no bearing on you.

I don't know if you are aware that there is a file size limiattion on these forums and videos are large files. So you need to upload externally, like youtube and share the links. Who is going to get rich with this content?
