OK, to close the loop today I got the confirmation in writing that HA is not part of standard DD. I officially cancelled.

In my case there was a followup call. Some apologies regarding the test drive. Then the unavoidable question of HA being part of standard DD or not. Today I got the confirmation in writing that it's not part of standard DD. I officially cancelled. I have a reservation on a Rivian as well...

Well the story is not over yet! The studio manager called me yesterday to apologize about the disappointing test drive. She even offered to take the vehicle to my home so I could try it out correctly. So I might give it another try possibly this Friday. There's still the question of HA...

Hello, Let me start by saying that I believe the Lucid Air is overall an excellent car and the company is really pushing it in terms of efficiency and packaging. My decision is centered around one major item. At 118,000$ (in Canadian dollars), I can't accept that it has no lane centering...

So you mean no sale advisor tried to contact you and change your mind?

Well folks guess what. 3 days after my limited and unsatisfactory test drive I receive an email from Lucid about confirming my order. WTF. I just wrote to the sales advisor, cancelling my order. Let's see what they respond.

A 360 degree view is something I definitely miss on my Tesla. I can manage without it, but it would be a nice to have. Absolutely not a deal breaker though. Lane centering is a deal breaker. You might not use this, but I do. I'm also concerned about the resale value of the car (I tend to...

One additional note I forgot to mention. I asked the sales person about the state of deliveries here in Montreal. He was saying they currently deliver Touring and GT. The Air Pure would start being delivered this summer, and that I should be amongst the first one since I reserved early. For...

Thanks. I wonder how well it's working here in Canada however. Maybe someone from Canada with a Lucid could confirm?

Hello, Following a very short test drive of a Grand Touring last September, in big traffic downtown Montreal, I scheduled a second test drive today. For reference here's the link to my first review Test drive of a Lucid Air GT This time the vehicle tested was a Touring on the 19in wheels...

Your best bet for charging station is Circuit Electrique. You should definitely get the app. They have a lot of charging locations. The only downside is the charging speed. Most are 50kw with some of them now 100kw. Electrify Canada is still a joke at this point. I have no idea why they...

Given we have the same height, I'm curious to know your impression of the driving position, especially with respect to the center armrest. Because when I had my test drive, a few months ago, I found it was a bit too far back, as if the car was built for very tall drivers.

I wonder how they came up with these numbers for the 20in. Doing a simple rule of 3 based on the MPGe would give roughly 350mi for the 20in on the Air Pure. We'll have to wait for real world testing to get a better idea. Having said that, 140MPGe on the highway is mind boggling!

Depends on the vehicle. For BMW, the i4 M50 has it as standard equipment (but it's an option on the lower trims). That vehicle starts at 79K$ (CAD). And the iX xDrive40 also has it standard. That one starts at 83K$ (CAD). For Mercedes the only available EQS here in Canada is the 580. And...

Actually the argument goes both ways. Being a luxury car you expect a certain number of features to be standard. In 2022 (soon 2023) lane keep assist is one of those items that should be standard IMHO.
