    Winter driving

    My suggestion, despite your recent experience is to set regen on low of off in slippery conditions. The fact is that driving slower is much safer as is maintaining F-R and side to side balance. If you do skid sideways do nothing abrupt like hard steering or breaking hard. If you do not have...

    Rear seat dog protector

    My dog is 71 pounds and 28” at his withers and no problems with the soft Orvis hammock.

    2.8.17 update

    Thank you. Why do you think that they will redesign the Air's computer system? I have noticed little tangible difference in functionality for the latest OTAs. In fact the recent one seems to have degraded efficiency, surround view and connection with CarPlay' connection for Sirius. Nothing...

    Rear seat dog protector

    I've used an Orvis hammock for three years in my AGT with no problems. Easy to wash.

    OTA 2.8.16

    A bit early to tell after recent OTA but initially my efficiency has fallen off a cliff. Certainly a bit colder here like 40 degrees or so and no interstate drives, but it has gotten my attention like never before over three winters. Range for short trips in same weather conditions was in the...

    2.8.17 update

    It seems slightly faster loading but that’s all I have noted so far.

    OTA 2.8.16

    It has always worked for me from high speed to stop and go although I do get the red warning to take control when I always have my hands on the wheel at 3 and 9, which is annoying. The feature makes it easy to deal with long backups on the interstates.

    Bob Lutz and the Lucid Air

    Thanks for posting. Exceptional exposition on the industry. Bob Lutz has more credibility than anyone among those who follow the industry. His opinion of the Air is very encouraging but from a marketing perspective his reputation and acumen are unlikely to resonate with the public, which is a...

    OTA 2.8.16

    Thanks for your input. 1) Curb rash alert malfunctions in daylight frequently. I am surprised when it works, but as mentioned I do not depend on it. 2) Front and rear cameras function when the 360 view malfunctions but resets after vehicle exit. Annoying but it happens only occasionally, as do...

    OTA 2.8.16

    I appreciate the incremental OTAs and my AGT is a delight, but note that my curb rash assist function is inoperative well over half the time even in dry weather with a clean car. While I do not depend on it is nice when it works. Same with the overhead view which works about 95+% of the time but...

    Motortrend | Lucid Gravity vs. Cadillac and Volvo for EV SUV Supremacy: Only One Is Truly Ready for Prime Time

    All true! To me the driving pleasure of the AGT surpasses that of the recent model Porsche 911 Turbo S and Panamera GTS, and that is saying a lot. Of course, that is with a far different visceral experience than the Porsches deliver, but the compensating attributes of the AGT more than make up...

    Motortrend | Lucid Gravity vs. Cadillac and Volvo for EV SUV Supremacy: Only One Is Truly Ready for Prime Time

    No surprise at the critique and comparison if range is of no concern. It is easy to find fault with anything, but the entry problem is not easy to excuse. I do not own a Gravity nor have I driven one so have to pass on Gravity specific evaluation. For those of us early AGT adopters who have...

    2025 Lucid Air Reliability

    I am in southern VA and have never had a problem cooling my 2023 AGT.

    What is your electricity (kWh) cost at home ?

    15 cents/kWh in VA. Chargepoint tabulates charging at home. Had free EA charging for three years until recently so road trips wil cost three times more than home charging.

    No Service Appointments Available at Tysons Corner, VA Through App

    Response from the Richmond area temporary service center has been very good when I text or call my tech. The app assumes that I should go to Tyson's Corner location because I am in VA, but it is three hours from me vs 45 minutes from the Richmond location. Moreover, the mobile service option has...

    Savage Geese Takes a Long Look

    The comments here by those with engineering and technical expertise are very instructive. The review was comprehensive and objective. The concern about reliability of all functions is certainly valid from the perspective of a probably typical consumer. Early adopters are probably not typical...

    Software Version 2.8.7

    I am compelled to ring in on 2.8.7 given the reported problems with it here. It loaded without a problem and I have not noted any malfunctions in the several days since. My car was in for the 25k mile service yesterday and no issues were noted. My only observations is that my efficiency seems to...

    Pirelli Tire Issue & Warranty Megathread

    Good to know. Installation when purchasing through TR and installing at DT is ~$125. Scheduling an installation through TR is easy and DT availability is very good but if I can save the installation fee I will do that. Will check with DT. TR has been reliable for me for years.

    Software Version 2.8.7

    OTAs have improved my experience for three years. Changes have been incremental and my observation is that efficiency has improved as well as of course response. Are the interfaces with audio optimal? Not yet but they are tolerable and better than before OTAs. Dynamically the car is in another...
