To tangent a bit, "with cause" is also used by companies to terminate when employment objectives and performance goals are not met. Either realistically or fictitiously. I say fictitiously, because it was recently revealed at my former employer, that they would put multiple people on...

Gosh I hope it's not anyone from Stellantis!!!! 🤪 It's a bit shocking but honestly not too surprising to hear. The last interview I saw with Peter, he seemed a little "burned out" even though he said he loves the constant on the go schedule. I agree at this point the company could use a fresh...

Ironically, Siri seems to work better (LOL) and the voice is creepy, so I don't use Lucid Assistant.

Yeah, I do. I've lost count over the years how many Xers and Millennials have said to me, or near me, "ohhh gosh I would DIE before being seen driving a minivan." Or variants thereof. And what are SUVs but rectangles on wheels? I'll say that the Gravity looks NICE, and has a nice familial...

I was there! Sort of. It took so long to park and get inside, it was 1:30 by time we made it back to the Lucid area, and we never saw the group. Honestly, I thought the event would be more substantial, with a little section for us to interact with and sit in the Gravity. Nevertheless, I was...

I'm going to be controversial and say Yes, the Gravity is a lot like a minivan. Many many SUVs and crossovers today, ARE very similar to minivans. They're just missing the sliding doors. For whatever reason, minivans are vehicle-non-grata these days with families. Even though THE thing they need...

This has been happening almost all winter so far on my 2023 Pure. It was purticularly bad when I drove the car to work yesterday, and it sat all day in 25 degree weather. The drive home was noisy, windy, and very cold on the left side of my head. Had to turn the cabin heat up to 80! I will...

Yes, repeatedly. I'm exhausted resetting and re-pairing at this point. It works great briefly, then degrades again.

Don't worry, as a CarPlay user, my CarPlay is still unreliable and usually jacked up. Lots of connection issues are still happening. As a non-Atmos listener, the sound and bass are far far better.

The fob sure is funny. My battery life is definitely in the 3-6mo. range since I'm not the primary driver. But what is very annoying is that I could just breathe on the fob, and the car will wake up in the garage a million times. But when I'm out, getting groceries or whatnot, I look like an...

The roadtrip to Detroit I took last year was bizzare, and still sticks in my brain. A few of the only easily accessible fast chargers were right in front of the GM RenCen. Four EVGo chargers. THREE were broken! And the 4th had a dodgy handle that only got up to maybe 50kw. Totally embarrassing.

I would just expect the "brain trust" at Tesla to be extra hostile to Lucid especially. But I could be wrong.

Maybe I'm just being cynical, but I wouldn't expect Tesla to make charging for Lucid vehicles, easy or friendly, at all.

I too have been seeing the "The best damn car" ad on my streaming services lately. Super cool!

As an engineer, I can confirm. Out of all my friends from Engineering school, I'm the last one actually in it. It's a lot like teaching, or an HOA board. A thankless job. Most of my job seems to be crushing marketing managers' dreams with the limits of physics. And the initial pay "can" be...
