    Lucid's Future Amidst The Middle East Conflict

    The Middle East conflict is spread to the Red Sea region. I wonder how it might affect Lucid's SA assembly plant/transport of finished vehicles out of the region. Does Lucid AZ plant have the ability to build the Cosmos at some volume? If the conflict drags on for months and hampers Lucid's...

    Interested in Previewing Future Lucid Air Software?

    Yes, I know that. I wanted to wait to see that UX3 for the Air is real before I spend another$1k on CCCV2-UX3. My understanding is, CCCV2 does nothing for the Air in UX2.

    Interested in Previewing Future Lucid Air Software?

    My mistake! I meant Gravity is on UX3. Hence, the basic "look-and-Feel" and functionality had alreday been disclosed. Thanks for pointing out my oversight!

    Interested in Previewing Future Lucid Air Software?

    I understand all the NDA stuff. Let us calibrate: >Gravity is on UX2, correct? >Lucid already said it is not updating Air SW anymore. > as such, UX3 on Air is the next and only step, correct? UX3 for the Air has been promised for a while. It requires an upgrade to a newer computer. Some...

    Interested in Previewing Future Lucid Air Software?

    As an AGT owner, I'd love to see this event. But the lead-time of the noncement is so short, hence it is impractical. It comes across as Lucid is trying to go on record before end of Q3'26 to show they are working on UX3 for the Air. I am sure most Air owners love to see that happen. Aside...

    Reality Check: Air Pure Promo Ad

    whatever it is....the issue with Lucid is what (attributed to the Nixon era) is called a "credibility gap". Lucid must deliver what they promised. I hope Napoli rights this ship. Lucid is a fine vehicle if they actually deliver what was promised. The vison is fine. But the execution...

    Lucid Engineer on Robotaxi Programme Leaves for Nvidia Ahead of Launch

    In the grand scheme of things, Lucid is a bit-player in robo-taxi. Lucid is looking at some positive PR. In reality, it will at best be a sugar-high buzz. It won't domuchforLucid's survival. If I were an engineer working at Lucid on the Robo-taxi, I would leave for greener pastures as well.

    Service

    I live 5 miles away from the Scottsdale SC. I never call the service line. I just go and talk to them. The people there are nice and courteous. That said, booking a service appointment is stilla challenge. I was there about 10 days ago and enquired about booking a regular service...

    Will marketing finally make a turn? Ex Hyundai executive hired by Napoli

    Agee with your point that execution is the key. Having said that, one must also recognize RJ and Elon had/have the vision to build "adjacencies" around their EV business that stabilized and multiplies their automobile core business. Elon's international reach, batteries for cars and solar...

    Will marketing finally make a turn? Ex Hyundai executive hired by Napoli

    Say what you will. Lucid has some of the worse actual range vs "EPA" discrepancies amongst EVs. Comparing apples-to-apples, 2023 Touring, tested by Car and Driver at highway speed, in this case, 75mph, the results: "While the Touring's rated range is quite good, we found the actual distance...

    Will marketing finally make a turn? Ex Hyundai executive hired by Napoli

    My 2022 AGT is rated at 516 miles range (referencing the EPA tests). I drive the Phoenix to Sausalito trip many times, 780 miles. I have NEVERgotten more than 400 miles on a full (100%) charge. Lucid's range is good, but not nearly as good as they claimed. The EPA extrapolation is faulty and...

    Will marketing finally make a turn? Ex Hyundai executive hired by Napoli

    Truth in advertiszing.....I suggest the readers go see all the CR data. Tests were done @70mph. As a percentage, the 2023 Lucid Touring has one of the largest deviations (actual miles vs claim) of the EVs tested. I'd suspect the deviation is even more so @70+mph. Also, the Touring is one of...

    Will marketing finally make a turn? Ex Hyundai executive hired by Napoli

    It is a cop-out to call this an EPA problem. Lucid's "implied" range (based on extrapolation of EPA's tests # on an avg test speed of 48mph) is not consistent with how people consider "range" on a road trip. On both the Air and the Gravity, the user realizable range on US highways is around...

    Will marketing finally make a turn? Ex Hyundai executive hired by Napoli

    If, indeed, they are essay fixes, just do it! Lucid's issue is not its vision, like you, Iwas drawn toit. But visions need "hard core" EXECUTION, that's where Lucid has fallen short. Yes, let's give Napoli and his crew a chance.....but the clock is running!

    Will marketing finally make a turn? Ex Hyundai executive hired by Napoli

    Lucid needs to relook at their business model and see how they can scale their "virtual" service network. I don't think Lucid has the lead-time, manpower, or management bandwidth to scale their operations in time to benefit Cosmos. Failing that, it is game over! I am not a car-guy, so I...

    Will marketing finally make a turn? Ex Hyundai executive hired by Napoli

    Rivian's revenue is ~5X that of Lucid's. Aside from cars, Rivian develops and sells SW, partnership with VW, sells delivery vans to Amazon, etc.. I have a 2022 AGT and a 2023 R1S. Thus far, my Rivian have had zero service needs. SW works great! Never had a problem with SW. I have both cars...

    Will marketing finally make a turn? Ex Hyundai executive hired by Napoli

    Don't know Zepeda. Glad Lucid is hiring someone who knows the business. That said, I think marketing Cosmos under Lucid is a Herculean task! Unlike Air and Gravity which are aimed at consumers who (most of the) are willing to spend 6-figures on the vehicle and own multiple luxury cars and can...

    Gravity HUD question

    I never thought DDPro is FSD. It took a long time to rollout and its functionality trails competition. Based on the issues described by the owners, it seems to me the HUD has both hardware and software problems. It will likely take a lot of time and effort to get it to where it is supposed to be.

    Gravity HUD question

    Sounds like the DDPro saga on the Air all over again! Ambitious goals, exaggerated claims, charges extra for it, but languished for years to come close to the promises!
