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

    I agree with all your points except this one. The Lucid EPA ratings are so inaccurate as to be laughable and if everyone keeps touting a range that almost nobody ever gets close to in the real world (esp the West 2/3 of the country where highway speed limits START at 70mph and are usually...

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

    Agreed They can, it just won't be easy or cheap. The question is whether the folks with the purse strings and new leadership recognize that and are actually willing to do what it takes.

    Aug 2026 - Air Service Experience Journal

    Got the DocuSign email last night with the Service Estimate and Authorization. Obviously the warranty isssue (rear brakes won't release) is $0. - Alignment check - $78 - this is to check things are okay after the Texarkana pothole incident. Will include inspection of the right front...

    Dallas service center opening up in September/October 2026

    Oh I know it's been around a long time. I just feel like it's grown and metastisized over the last decade or so to be the default response by a majority, or at the very least an obviously loud minority.

    Dallas service center opening up in September/October 2026

    So what? Not that anyone is claiming it will totally solve everything. At least it's a step in the right direction. I'm one of the most cynical people you'll meet and even I don't see the point in being so negative about an actual, concrete act that will almost certainly improve things. I...

    Dallas service center opening up in September/October 2026

    When I spoke with a service advisor last week they mentioned October and said he thought it was going to be 13 bays. Really looking forward to that. I really hope they have sufficient loaners as well.

    Decided to pull the Trigger!

    I'll assume you're talking about an Air since you mentioned the aluminum roof. Will you often have passengers in the back seat? The GT has a higher floor so "slightly" less comfortable. I've had no issues with range doing long road trips in my '25 Touring. Best day managed 922 miles.

    So much this. This SUV is killing me. And smells like old dog to boot. I've been calling Enterprise but they don't have any "nice" cars in stock at all, other than more giant luxury SUVs, 2 door sports cars, or an econobox. I would've been at least bee tempted by the sports car if it weren't...

    Knock Knock, Lucid… It’s the Air Owners. Remember Us? 😂

    I should hope that Lucid has enough developers to work on more than one thing at a time. Especially given I thought they had contracted a third party to help them with the HUD specifically. Besides, too many people trying to fix the same thing just doesn't work. It's kind of a " too many cooks...

    Adjusting Regenerative Braking

    I think a lot of the disagreement and confusion has to do with how many different ways there are to do braking, as well as overlaps and misuse of terminology. * Classic braking - no regen at all, no auto hold. However hard you press the brakes is how much braking you have. May have slight...

    It's really disheartening to hear folks being served by other service centers getting a real loaner by default while some of us are struggling to get in touch at all and then the up with a crappy rental (and all the time out of our day to get it) instead.

    Adjusting Regenerative Braking

    While the Volvo does it better than my wife's GV60, I still hate it because I can feel the change in braking power when it switches. I'll keep the brake pedal at a constant level to smoothly stop, and when the car switches from regen to physical braking, it causes the brakes to either suddenly...

    Adjusting Regenerative Braking

    It works like that in the Volvo C40. And I have to double check, but I think in to wife's GV60 as well.

    New way to lock and unlock Lucid Gravity?

    That's unfortunate. I hope that isn't a reversion in the Air when when it gets the 3.0 update. I really like having separate controls for auto unlock and auto lock.

    Adjusting Regenerative Braking

    That may be so, but Lucid was specifically designed for performance and driving Dynamics, and I have yet to experience any vehicle that blends regen braking with physical brakes in a way that actually feels good. There's also something to be said for regen actually being off when it's set to...

    Today's update. After taking the long way around , the transport has delivered my vehicle to Lucid. I got the text notification about 2:43pm, about the same time as I was diving home in the rental vehicle from Enterprise (after returning the Volvo to Budget). Basically the only vehicle they...

    It's just a bug in the app. It happened to me a couple times about a year ago, but it hasn't happened since.

    Aug 2026 - Air Service Experience Journal

    Another thought I forgot to mention. I realized that by switching to a lowest bidder type of transport , they really kind of tarnish their image a bit, because not only do you not really know when the car is good to get picked up, they also have no control over what quality of transport and...
