I should have returned to this thread sooner with an update. I acquired the cross bars and bike carriers from a local Lucid owner (Thanks Mark!). Installation was super super easy....for the 1st three positions. Then I started getting visions of @JGard18 and @Dog poop 's issues. The...

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that he could see the roadmap going forward and was told what his role would be in the new era and decided it wasn't the road he wanted to walk. What we saw yesterday may very well be the first step along that new road. Emad no doubt was aware of at least some...

Unless the car has steer-by-wire, a yoke steering wheel would be a disaster in track driving.

A White Stealth blew by me yesterday on I-77 in Ohio. Would've looked great next to my white pseudo-stealth AGT, except that wasn't what I was driving. I was in my Camaro driving back to Michigan from a car show my Camaro Club attended.

I would combine these two thoughts. Not to compare myself to Emad Dlala or to make this about me I will provide the following anecdote. I retired (again) this past November. I took the consulting director job at an industry data / consulting firm several years ago after retiring from an OEM. My...

Just for the sake of clarity, my post was not written from the perspective of Emad Dlala leaving because of not be considered for CEO. I don't know if that was the case, or if he was even interested in the idea. It was simply to address an idea stated that Lucid should have considered a "car...

Don't be fooled by this one. Mary Barra went to General Motors Institute (now Kettering University) and graduated with a BSEE. She was in the class two years behind me. She worked in manufacturing and got her MBA at Stanford and worked in a number of positions at GM before becoming the head of...

I am going to wholeheartedly disagree here. Background...I spent 38 years at an OEM, I am a car guy, and I've spent many years shoulder-to-shoulder with recognized name car guys. I will briefly name drop... Sat behind Bob Lutz and Gary Cowger at a weekly Product Development decision meeting for...

The whole market tanked today. TSLA dropped 3.8%. NVDA dropped 3.73%. I still track those, even though I sold my holdings in both a couple weeks ago.

Just to elaborate on where I'm coming from here...real situation Person A: Solid senior powertrain engineering executive involved in the development of a large OEM's engines. Everybody who put lines on paper or tested prototypes or ran lab analysis of next generation engine development reported...

Sounds to me like the decision was made a long time ago and probably linked to the disaster now known as "Gravity Launch". Timing of execution = after the launch is fixed. I was at CES 2024 and went to Lucid's hospitality suite at one of the hotels on the strip. A colleague and I hung out with...

I could list all the reasons that people that worked for me or around me left "to pursue other opportunities". That is long held industry-speak for "bye Felicia"

He actually is an excellent car reviewer 🤷‍♂️ He's done a number of collaborations with some of the best car reviewers in the business, like Jason Cammisa and James & Thomas of Throttle House. Two Jasons reviewing Lucid Sapphire Here's a screen capture of a review he did 11 years ago. He's...

More importantly, Lucid has proven capability of engineering world class motors, batteries, and vehicles. If the company went bankrupt another company would swoop in to acquire the assets, intellectual properties and skilled people. In that case it would only make sense to also maintain the...

Found and installed!

I think 2023 models have free charging based on date they were put in service. I bought a 2023 Grand Touring in January 2026. It was put in service with the original owner in February 2023. Free EA charging lasted until February 2026. Not sure if all Air trims received three years or if Touring...

I am an engineer by training and spent most of my career in areas involving benchmarking, competitor intelligence, and technology readiness. A Lucid is right up my alley. The engineering is amazing. This car is the best or in the top three in segment for everything that it does. That's an...

Let's just say it had FOUR doors the first time the fob didn't work.

This exactly. The question is, is it slightly understated, as in rounding effect, or is it the BMW / Porsche level of understating where unmodded cars from the factory dyno test (output at the wheels) higher than the rated hp (measured at the crankshaft)?
