Down to the wire and need to make a decision on getting a Lucid Air. A few months ago I test drove one with the glass roof and as much as I loved the vehicle and the drive, absolutely hated the glass roof (it makes the visors stand out in a bad way) and the A-Pillar blind spot.

I wouldn't get glass roof but it doesn't change my concerns about the A-pillar blind spot when turning left, especially at an intersection with a crosswalk. For owners that found the pillar to hinder their field of vision initially, did you ever get used to it? The thought of leaning towards the passenger seat or trying to move further back just to make sure everything is clear when I turn left sounds annoying but I'm more concerned with hitting someone or something.

Thx

Oh wow, this reminded me of the very first time I test drove the Air, yes the A pillar created a significant and noticeable blind spot.

I've owned the car for 1.5 years and I completely forgot about the A pillar blind spot until now!

Yes, you quickly get used to it.
 
(I noticed it too. I always forget about it until a thread like this comes up.)
 
A pillar was a little annoying but passenger B pillar always got me with the seat & headrest almost had me in some bad situations...
 
You learn to look around it. It's the cost of having a very strong roof structure.
