I just uninstalled and re-installed Alexa for the second time on my iPhone. Once again, when I tried to link Tidal I got the message "Unable to link accounts. Your Alexa app needs an update." I've been going back and forth with Tidal customer service for four days. (They have no phone number...

Drew Erickson has also posted a podcast in which he drilled down more on his visit to the Lucid event. As a hard-over Tesla fan who has occasionally dissed Lucid based on second-hand information and impressions, it's fascinating to watch the evolution of his views once personally experiencing a...

Another interesting Lucid review popped up on YouTube late last week. It was by "Tailosive EV", who occasionally borders on being a Tesla fanboy. He and his wife did their first ever test drive of a Lucid (a Pure RWD) and were very impressed. In fact, his wife caught him off guard by saying...

I think Tesla has reached a natural and necessary stage of evolution in moving its primary focus from developing new propulsion technology to advancing manufacturing technology in pursuit of getting EV pricing down. It is a step Lucid will soon have to take, especially if battery costs do not...

I've followed the automotive industry most of my life and used to subscribe to the hard copy of "Autoweek" because it followed the business side of the industry more closely than the more driver-oriented monthly publications to which I also subscribed. Sadly, it appears to have followed the...

This is interesting. When I open the link I put up in Post #3 on this thread, the article is no longer the one "Autoweek" originally posted. They have heavily edited that original article. The quotes and figures in my post were literally cut and pasted from the original article into my post...

Although I can still play Tidal music in the Air by keying in selections, I can no longer access Tidal through Alexa voice commands. When I try, I get a voice prompt telling me to go into my Alexa mobile app to reestablish the connection. When I ask Siri to open the Alexa app, I get a voice...

Do you have his address? My insurer, who groaned and dissembled about the labor rates for a Lucid-authorized body shop, would probably like to know about him.

That would help explain the price, then. Poland is not one of the four European countries where Lucid is being sold currently. I'm wondering if this was a visitor from maybe Germany, or whether Lucid has some service arrangement for servicing cars in a non-sale country?

This article contains more details, plus a video of the fire: https://www.carscoops.com/2024/04/lucid-air-burns-to-the-ground-after-driver-swerved-and-hit-a-pole/

One of the ~160 Lucid Airs sold so far in Western Europe apparently made its way to Poland. My partner is there now and sent me this news clip from Warsaw. Apparently, the driver tried to avoid hitting a car that cut him off and instead hit a pole (lower case, no pun intended), whereupon the...

Our 2015 Model S P90D is the car that made me an EV convert. I enjoyed owning and driving it for six years and only traded it when its extended warranty ran out. Even though we were soon to take delivery of a Lucid Air Dream, we had decided to evolve toward an all EV-household, and we wanted...

It's not a matter of defending anyone's honor. It's about a man of Musk's reach in political culture being willing to outright lie about someone because he stole a march on Musk with EV technology. Musk is clearly out to hurt Lucid stockholders with his recurrent claims -- and those of his...

Perhaps it’s because I’m fed up with Elon Musk’s and his acolytes’ attacks on Lucid, including his lying about Peter Rawlinson’s role in the Model S development. For a man who once claimed to want to foster the transition of all automakers to EVs, his response to Lucid’s arrival on the scene...

Yes, they did. Although the current Tesla Model S looks very similar to the preceding model, there are very few body components in common. The interior fit and finish of our 2015 Tesla was very good, and the components held up very well against wear and tear for the six years we had the car...
