    The Economist article

    I only read the excerpt so do not know their perspective on Tesla. The Economist is often unremarkable in its opinions and just as frequently wrong. There is no guarantee that any company will survive if they do not innovate and reinvent themselves and access to capital for nascent industries is...

    Planning trip in new Air GT, LA to OH - 2500 miles!

    I agree with Bunny's recommendations. I use ABRP, the EA app and the car's nav system as well as Apple Maps for more granular directions on local roads. I have other charging apps but have not had to use them. You can order a set of 19s from Lucid with AS tires and mounting is easy with the new...

    Lucid Air or BMW i5

    No problem with the key in a year and a half with my AGT and glitches in the infotainment system can be annoying but everything else about the car is phenomenal for me. I have to wonder if the OP has driven an AGT for more than a few minutes.

    Sprint Mode

    I usually drive in Swift but yesterday tried local driving in Sprint. Much better throttle response of course and firmer steering but otherwise not a big deal, even on my 19’s with sotto zeros. Obviously, turn in is suboptimal on 19’s in Sprint, but I don’t need to counter steer on local roads...

    Lucid Group, Inc. Announces Investment of $1.0 Billion by an Affiliate of PIF

    The fact is that Lucid's technology and design innovations are superior to legacy auto manufacturers. The retail selling and service build-out continues as does the charging network of EA., although all have a long way to go. The PIF's commitment to its success should be clear. Recall that 6 or...

    Who paid to keep Sirius? Most of our 'trials' expire in a few days!

    I had paid Sirius an exorbitant subscription fee for years until I got my AGT. I use the app now for a small monthly fee. The sound quality is not great. There is a time delay to some broadcasts, but so what? I get at least several unsolicited calls a day from Sirius and try to block them to no...

    Impressions of my first long road trip

    Thank you for your report. Glad you made it without event. I got to love Walmart on my 2000 cross country trip a year ago. Until then I had never been to a Walmart. They are nice and the staff is friendly. Their EA stalls were reliable.

    Lucid ads and commercials

    Yes more advertising whether niche or mass market that emphasizes the dynamic superiority, range, comfort and unrivaled space.

    Driver's side wiper blades leaving haze on the windshield

    Sounds like an effective process indeed. Dawn is a very effective glass cleaner. I use denatured alcohol and water and wipe with a cotton towel to clean my windshield before applying Aquapel.

    Guess the name of this project or the name of the future car...

    Weeks ago, I mentioned Force and Mistral, which I was informed have been taken by another auto company.

    Driver's side wiper blades leaving haze on the windshield

    I have used Aquapel for years and it has performed well. There may be better products available but I have no reason to change. It is quite durable and if applied properly works well. I occasionally clean my wiper blades with rubbing alcohol. Whatever you apply clean the windows extremely well...

    OTA Update 2.1.60 - Creature Comfort

    I let my late large poodle, Rocky ride in the back of my 991 Turbo S, my Panamera GTS's, and my new large standard poodle, Enzo ride in my AGT. My cars are for me to use and enjoy. The OTA, as already mentioned is quite welcome and better than the prior 45-minute interval. I also keep my cars...

    Larry David drives a Lucid!!

    Glad to know that he drives the best sedan extant. Surprised at the passion expressed here. Publicity for Lucid is good.

    OTA Update 2.1.60 - Creature Comfort

    This is a welcome addition. The prior 45 minute interval was not optimal. The notice on the panel should reduce the chance that someone will break your window to “save” your dog. My dog is very comfortable in his back seat hammock. Thank you Lucid. Just want to know if hvac returns to its...

    Dust in the interior

    Yes, the interior is very tight, although well-ventilated. Another benefit that I have noticed is that after 16k miles there is very little if any windshield pitting from road dust or stone chips, which I attribute to the aerodynamics of the Air.
