It’s also a great sign, if you ask me, that the KSA very much still believes in Lucid and that Lucid isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. I think we can all agree that’s good news.

There’s really no reason to assume this. The press release simply implied a new collaboration. There’s zero reason in my mind to assume Lucid would let go of anyone on their own staff or stop developing this technology themselves internally. Seems more to me like this university will simply...

Is she the “primary” account? I’ve found the car wants to default to the primary account all the time. Drives us nuts, too. Similar size differential. Only I’m primary, so it doesn’t happen to me. Only her. We unlinked her keys to any profile, and that stopped it. But now she has to manually...

YMMV as always. But this update was a massive improvement to Drive Assist for me. No more slowing on sharper curves. Keeps the lane much more effectively. And just smoother all around. Big shout out to the ADAS team.

The more I read about Gravity, the more a refresh of Air sooner rather than later makes sense to me. it would have to be cheaper to move both platforms to this new motor design.

This might be a good time to remind people to read a thread before posting. A lot of repetition and talking in circles going on here at the moment.

Part of the reason the DE hasn't sold out yet is that it's a slightly rarer bird who wants what "Dream Edition" means when it comes to an SUV. More horsepower on a sedan? Yes, please. In a 7-seater? I can't drive like a maniac with kids in the car, anyway. So meh? There have been high...

Okay. So retrofit is unlikely. I'd assume that's a no and set expectations accordingly. So if you really, really need a HUD, wait a year or two. If you can live without it, enjoy the extra money in your pocket.

This one aged well.😁 Just giving you some guff. Don’t take it personally.

Communication is hard. And I agree, Lucid isn't always great at it. But we don't know the circumstances. It's entirely possible they are not at liberty to say what happened.

A number of people here seem to have the impression Lucid somehow planned to not be able to deliver HUD, and set up orders with it knowing they’d eventually have to pull it. You all get that’s not how this stuff works, right? My guess is up until a week ago, Lucid thought they were fine on...

They’ve never publicly announced or promised either of those. But they will come. Eventually. Everything takes longer than I’d like with Lucid. That’s the common thread for my entire ownership so far. But when I look back on when I got the car vs now, it’s undeniable that the car has been...

I’m not suggesting that’s true. Just that it would be my best guess. I’ve been known to be wrong on occasion. 😊 It’ll have the space for the HUD, for sure. Whether they want to train service to do the installs and stock the parts is another matter. It’s logistics, basically. And right around...

The remaining questions are when will the HUD become available to other trims again? And will there be an option to retrofit cars that come out this year? I can only speculate on either. But my guess is the first will be sorted in a year or two max. The second is likely a no. But it's really...

This is clearly a supply thing. The folks who think this is Lucid "pushing" them to order a DE are not thinking it through. They are only making a limited number of DEs. The HUD is an expensive option. Thus, they are guaranteed to make LESS money doing things this way. Which means their...
