Guys! You are not going to believe it! At the NYC studio this weekend, in addition to having a Gravity (unspecified whether a production unit) that you might be able to sit in if time allows, there is also going to be a breathtaking fusion of light and sound. Not just spotlights and a...

BTW, after the super-enthusiastic introduction email, Bryan has taken a page out of Katja’s playbook and gone radio silent. These shenanigans don’t matter while the target audience is enthusiasts. But need to get cleaned up if Lucid wants to compete downmarket!

Received an email from a new inside sales associate, Bryan, who will be taking over for Katja. The email makes it sound like Gravity test drives won’t be available until 2H25 which makes me wonder when deliveries will begin. This seems like a bad sign. Here’s the line: "As we progress into...

Normal way - the wall is on the passenger side, so the front passenger needs to exit before the car goes into the garage. But both driver’s side doors open no problem.

Hi folks! Do the side-view mirrors still auto-open when a key is detected near the vehicle? Disabling this feature was not available when Air first launched and I’ve been hoping that Lucid would add it before GGT deliveries start. Would like to not have to cut a hole in the wall of my garage...

Hi folks! Has anyone heard anything from Lucid regarding potential GGT delivery dates, finance terms, etc.? My sales rep is still radio silent, except she forwarded me the email from Lucid about the GGT being available for viewing (not driving) in certain studios.

Has anyone who placed a GGT order heard anything from Lucid other than a brief introduction from the sales rep? I asked, via email and SMS, about financing options and rough delivery date. Have not received a response. Not even “we’re not sure yet.” Just crickets….

The side-view mirrors stay folded?

Is Tesla its own killer? I always thought part of Tesla's brand was the most performance for the price. A grey MS LR w/ 19" wheels + FSD in summer of 2020 was $86k. Say what you will about the build, interior trappings, etc., that is a lot of performance for the price. Today the same car is...

I have a 2020 MS LR+ and after test driving the Lucid Air two weeks ago (test drove a production AGT, not a preprod), I am 99% sure I am going to cancel the order even though it means leaving $1k on the table. I have a family of 4, with a 4.5 year old and 6 year old, and this is our only car...

The SA on yesterday’s test drive said CarPlay was coming by the end of the summer. He also said it was a UX issue, getting everything to fit nice in Lucid’s screen shapes. That makes sense to me. I doubt it is a licensing issue. If Lucid is already working on the port, then the license is...

Could it be a clogged channel that’s supposed to move rain water from top of the car to a weep hole below the door? Often hear of the problem you describe on cars with a sunroof. There’s a channel on each of the driver and passenger side, that moves water collected from around the sunroof, out...

Forgot to mention that point - I asked about testing whether the car would sense an object and not open the mirror. SA said he was sure it didn’t do that, and didn’t want to try for fear of messing up the mirror. On the bright side - the test drive was fantastic! Much quieter and smoother...

This sounds super frustrating. Really sorry to hear it. Also sorry to hear about the loaner. SA on my test drive today assured me that Lucid will always give you a Lucid Air as a loaner. I didn’t want to get into it with him, but in the back of my head I’m wondering how that’s possible at...

So….no clear answer. Pre-test drive, the SA was confident that if the mirrors were manually folded, they would stay. He worked for Tesla for a few years, and his response was very much like “of course that’s what will happen, that’s just a thing that smart cars do.” We could not actually get...
