    Lucid needs to train its service advisor to be a bit sympathetic to customers' concerns

    Unfortunately, this might not be an isolated incident about Lucid's customer service quality. Please see the screen shots of emails below regarding a different problem. I contacted Lucid's 800 numbers because Millbrae just wouldn't get back to me. This service advisor, based in Newark, asked me...

    Lucid needs to train its service advisor to be a bit sympathetic to customers' concerns

    My car's backup/forward/surround view cameras stopped working yesterday. I called Millbrae's service department this morning and reported this issues as well as some other annoying problems. (e.g., starting a call or playing music to discover the car on its own set the volume to the maximum...

    Texas Crash Totaled

    Good point. It will be interesting to see if anything happens to the Lucid after a week or two. Regardless, those photos gave a strong sign of support for Lucid's safety.

    What would you like to see from the Lucid mobile app?

    I heard this from a Tesla Model S taxi driver in Sweden that when he puts in a super charger site as destination in navigation, the car will automatically initiate preconditioning the battery for the charging session. Presumably the car will factor in the distance and traffic condition to time...

    What would you like to see from the Lucid mobile app?

    Ok, but the app also insists on re-confirming unlocking the car too. If I accidentally tap that button, I can just lock it. Come to think of it, if the designer wants to be particularly confident that someone is not accidentally tapping on a button, there are ways to go about it without making...

    What would you like to see from the Lucid mobile app?

    Don't know if this was brought up in the previous pages, I really don't want to re-confirm everything I select on the app. When I hit "open frunk", why should I press a second button to say "oh yeah, I am sure I want to open the frunk"?

    What is your reason for getting a Lucid Air?

    I was always sure that I would get a Taycan. Then one day I saw a post on reddit that showed both a Taycan and a Lucid in a photo. I thought that Lucid looked pretty good, did some research and the promptly switched my interest. P.S. those comments in that reddit post was a bit funny.

    Service nightmare related to OTA updates.

    I heard something interesting from a customer service advisor in Millbrae this week. If your car's software version falls two versions behind, it won't be able to update on its own to the current version. He gave an example scenario of two updates in quick succession (e.g., within one week), and...

    Let's talk about the Air's interior compared to competing luxury cars
