Hello all!
I had my test drive yesterday in Scottsdale and would like to post some updates.
The cars I test drove did not have the new 2.0 update, but at least, I didn't notice any major hiccups while I was driving it, things seemed slow. But I'm sure you owners have messed with it for many more hours to see the inconsistencies I saw people complaining about on the forums.
So for the new things!
-My SA told me that Dream Drive will definitely have Highway Assist to keep you in your lane on long drives, and it will be geo-fenced to ensure people don't use Highway assist in city roads and cause accidents like the Tesla videos we see today.
-He told me that Sentry mode is coming soon and is definitely something Lucid has an interest in as people want to protect their cars from all sorts of crazy hooligans. The recordings will be accessible via the app, and he also mentioned an internal drive which Lucids have and so we can have access to or maybe plug/transfer data somehow to and from it.
-He also told me that after purchasing the vehicle, if you want dreamdrive pro, you can't take the car back in for the upgrade, but there's an in-between upgrade which is the 'upgraded camera kit' (No price on it yet, TBA) that will allow things like the blindspot cameras and other things if you want it in the future.
-He also confirmed Android Auto and Apple Auto integrations
-One more note about the specifics, but he said the footwells will be 3 inches lower for rear passengers in the Lucid Touring versus the Lucid AGT.
-I asked him about charging off-peak hours of electricity, and said just like Tesla, you keep the car plugged in, and then it won't start charging until your designated schedule (this may already be released?)
Overall my drive was amazing, I loved the car, the smoothness, and how amazingly responsive it was. I was appreciative he let me go over my test drive limit, I think I spent a good hour and 15 minutes in the car.
Huuuuge shoutout to him, made it super comfortable.
Ultimately I am excited to get my hands on the car and waiting for my delivery which he said will be guaranteed in production by December (Touring models) and so I should be getting my finalization email by early next year.
Now with all of that being out of the way, I'm really torn on my original choice White exterior and Santa Monica interior.... to not Zenith Red and Tahoe interior.
I live in Utah where it's snowy, muddy, and full of mountains and canyons and so there's always opportunity for the interior to get dirty.
For those of you who have the white interior, how has cleaning it been? What suggestions or advice would you give me?
