    Cosmos incoming ……

    True, but the folks with the purse strings made that demand, I am sure. My guess is a whole lot of folks who've been working in Arizona are going to have a 6-12 month relocation to KSA. Certainly the managers are going to be spending most of their time there in the short term.

    Lucid assistant is lagging further and further behind

    Another thing that an AI assistant would be great for: Mid-road trip changes in plans. If you don't like the EV charging station it picked out, it would be nice to say "Find me another station; I'd rather use Ionna" or whatever. Or questions like "If we decided to take a quick detour and go...

    Lucid assistant is lagging further and further behind

    We've strayed pretty far from the OG topic here, so let's swing it back. Lucid did demo a much improved AI assistant early this year. They have not yet shipped it. That's unfortunate, but I'd rather they get it right than ship something that's broken. Personally, I don't have much of a need...

    Is something wrong? 90% == 293 miles

    PSI sensors in tires are not accurate. They just aren't. Cheap, $2 parts that were added to cars for regulatory reasons. Meant more to tell you when pressure is dangerously low, not to give you an accurate number. Measure with your air compressor and trust that. And always measure cold.

    Cosmos incoming ……

    Could not agree more. Expecting perfection out of the gate is a sure fire way to set yourself up for disappointment. The hope is that because Cosmos is easier to build (just fewer parts, and the benefit of years of design / factory experience) it will have far fewer issues out of the gate, and...

    Is something wrong? 90% == 293 miles

    My Air Touring, on the other hand, had a lifetime average over 3.2. And that's with me making no effort at all to drive slow, with the exception of longer road trips. I got over 4.0 several times in that car. The weight and extra drag really hurt the Gravity quite a bit. It would be less of a...

    Is something wrong? 90% == 293 miles

    Dynamic Range is a bit of a mystery to me. I find both the efficiency number and the miles remaining to be lower than what I can actually get. Certainly lower than what my efficiency since last charge suggests. And it's not all that dynamic, either. It's not just the past ten or twenty minutes...

    Any issues if I skip my 12 month maintenance visit

    I think the miles are more important than the time, if that makes sense. So, if it's been a year, but you've only put 5k miles on the car, the service team will probably even tell you don't bother just yet. But if you have the 12k miles on the car, you should probably schedule the service...

    Cars.com liked Gravity hands-free driving

    On my weekday commutes, I tend to drive myself to work, but then use Dream Drive Pro on the way home, as there’s a lot more traffic and it’s not as much fun to drive in stop and go. Being able to do that alone is worth the price I paid for the upgrade.

    Cars.com liked Gravity hands-free driving

    Yeah. Compared favorably with many other brands. I just drove from Long Beach to San Francisco and used Dream Drive for the bulk of it. Zero issues. Really great for long stretches of road where your foot would otherwise get tired. It’s come a long way, and already does just about everything...

    Cosmos incoming ……

    Going back to the ad, I just feel like it’s so important right now for Lucid to differentiate itself from other EV brands. Rivian, you must admit, does this very well. It’s not my cup of tea, but I can’t say they aren’t offering something unique. What Lucid offers is all about the pure driving...

    Speaker upgrade for Air

    I did manage to blow out my rear speaker in my Air. The service folks said they hadn't seen that happen before. They replaced it under warranty for me. Having said that, many more people have had issues with their rear parcel shelf, which does sound remarkably like a blown speaker. Either way...

    Cosmos incoming ……

    I'm so glad to see so many agree with me that this ad is great. I thought I was the only one who wanted Lucid to turn focus to the "feeling" of owning and driving a Lucid. The biggest takeaway, as far as Cosmos goes: No light bar. Just headlights. All those AI images are assuming a light bar...

    Car and Driver rates Lucid No. 1 in “Who makes the best cars”

    People like or hate cars for all sorts of reasons. Sounds like C&D’s reviewer here favors drivability, fun, handling, performance over everything else. Which happens to be my approach to judging what makes for a “good” car. If you disagree, feel free to read other magazines. What an amazing...

    Apple Duo - Lucid Mobile App Implementation

    Developers need to do some special work to make the Duo layout work properly. I'm sure Lucid will get to it. This is always a risk with new device form factors. Takes a while before all your favorite apps catch up.

    QUESTION Why is it so difficult to buy a Lucid?

    I’ve been buying cars a long time. From many brands. I’ve never been to a dealer or met a sales associate that knew as much about their own cars than I did. Which is a sad commentary on the industry, but so be it. I’ll take direct sales over dealership model every day of the week and twice on...

    Ride height not working properly

    The car defaults to Auto every time you get in and start it up. If you want standard on the streets and low on the highway, do nothing. The car does that automatically. I, unfortunately, would prefer low at all times, so I have to tap to turn off auto every time I get into the car. I suspect...

    90 day wait for Denver Service

    So, no different from 2023, when I got my first Air? Yeah, that’s not good. Finding good leases for an auto shop is not easy. But it can’t be this hard to find a building and staff it up. If they are selling enough cars at Cherry Creek to justify doing business in CO at all, they should have...

    GT 7 Seater 22/23 vs T 5 Seater 20/21s - The Touring has stolen my heart

    Correct. Both have AWD. The main difference with Touring is the size of the battery pack. 89 kWh on the Touring. Which is both its strength and its weakness. Strength because it makes the car lighter and more nimble. Weakness because it shortens the range significantly. In an ideal world...
