This is pretty off topic in the Bugs chat. I’ll note that I’m not a moderator. I’ve been part of other EV communities (Tesla and Mercedes) and honestly, the Lucid ownership experience has felt uniquely welcoming and familial to me.
I’ve met some great folks here, both online and in person, and I’ve never sensed the kind of deflection or hostility you described. Like any group, people share frustrations and opinions, but in my experience it’s usually met with constructive advice or commiseration, not dismissiveness.
I’ve also been critical of Lucid at times, but in each case, they stepped up and addressed the issue. That kind of accountability matters to me more than being issue-free, especially in the early days of a startup automaker doing something this ambitious. It’s a second vehicle for Lucid but their first SUV. They did it again with a blank sheet of paper to make the best damn thing on the market.
That’s bold, and comes with these software growing pains. There’s a lot of genuine passion and helpfulness in this community. From the mods and fellow forum members.
No one in my experience has been silencing any opinions. Other data points are always important. Good and bad.
