I had a reservation for the EQS 580 . Yes I drove it and canceled my reservation and got my deposit back. Car drives ok but both exterior and interior have none of the S500 hallmarks of Mercedes design. The interior of the EQS looks cheap and gaudy with none of the Teutonic restraint as seen in...

We might be lucky if we see any deliveries of the Touring before the end of third quarter 2023. Just console yourself for getting the original prices because price have increased effective July 2022 and will keep increasing every year.

Nobody has bothered to ask why you made the switch to an Ioniq5. I would really appreciate if you would be kind enough to share the reasons for such a drastic switch from Lucid to a compact from a sub brand of Hyundai.Thanks

All the owner experience indicates that coating technology has vastly improve. This is great new! However, I still like the metal roof of my 2013 Tesla S 85, the free lifetime charging and the free internet service. I‘m planning to keep the Tesla even though I’ve ordered the Air which will...

Here is a Bloomberg article on a recent Lucid Air Dream trip. We can all draw our own conclusions but clearly there are some software issues and the Electrify America cost of charging that was supposed to be free. Read in Bloomberg: https://apple.news/AaoVIk6egQDujkbKHK5Y3Tw

True self driving and automation will only happen after the entire traffic sign, lights and related hardware infrastructure in the country is upgraded to smart infrastructure with chips in them. Cars will then be able to truly communicate with the infrastructure and pretty much self drive if...

What you don’t know is a not a problem. Try driving a Tesla model S and you will see how the software makes the car run so beautifully.

With an EV, software is what controls the hardware! So, how can anyone pretend that the software glitches don’t matter in your daily driving experience? Lucid appears to be trying to fix the software glitches BUT they can’t seem to catch up! Part of the reason is that they have outsourced the...

There will come a time when you realize that software is what’s going to help you drive longer into your senior years. Right now, I see that most of you are in love with the hardware which BTW is better than Tesla.

19s will always drive smoother especially if there are potholes like in LA.

When you buy an EV, software is incredibly important because hopefully it’s going to help us (1) drive more safely, (2) make driving less challenging as we age with gradually diminishing cognition, (3) parking and navigation assistance, (4) location and fetch capabilities and (5) reduced...

Does anyone know if Lucid is going to have Goggle navigation software that is in the Tesla Model S as an alternative option to what they have now? I drove a GT at the Torrance showroom recently and the navigation system is awful.

At this time of the year the sun is much lower in the sky. Check it out in the summer when the sun is high in the sky.

You are absolutely spot on in all your points about both cars! The yoke steering wheel is the biggest deal breaker for upgrading to another Tesla. There are already third party vendors who can retrofit it with a Tesla round steering wheel. I’m not sure how that could affect safety and...

Please share with me why I should upgrade to a Lucid for other than the range and better service that Lucid can provide. The customer service at Tesla a few years ago was amazing. You could call the service center and always get a live person and often they could help you solve the problem...

That was another issue that I forgot to mention. On the test drive, we had to turn off the radio to turn on navigation. That to me is sucks for an EV like the AGT. I don’t know how you Dream owners can put up with that. I’m getting close to staying with my 2013 Model S 85 that comes with...

Lucid is not using Google maps because they have gone with Apple Carplay which for now I’m totally unfamiliar with as a Tesla Model S owner. I hope Rawlinson is paying attentio. Navigation can become a dealbreaker if it’s horribl.

As far as pricing is concerned, Fletcher Jones Newport Beach, CA is charging a dealer premium of $25k for the EQS 450 and $50k for the EQS 580. Who in their right mind would be willing to pay that premium, before even taking into account future vehicle depreciation that happens to all cars from...

I just test drove an AGT at the Torrance Studio last week. I have to say that the mapping software is nowhere near like the one in the Tesla Model S. The scrren does not give much detail and is nowhere near what the average Google type map looks like. Traffic condition display is also very poor...

Just test drive the AGT at the Torrance Studio at 12.45 pm and the sun was high in the sky. It felt Ok temperature wise but the glare from the sun only convinced me that I made the right decision to wait for the AT and not upgrade my reservation to the AGT. However, many others may enjoy their...
