Interesting data! I wonder how much distaste for Musk pushes down Tesla's score. The % of failed charging attempts is a bit shocking. I know JD Powers stats can be a bit weird, but can you imagine failing to fill a gas vehicle that frequently? It'd be fascinating to break down the...

Yeah, I'm confident I'll enjoy driving a Gravity with no HUD. And with the current HUD features, I don't really see much point to it, since the steering wheel and display makes it easy to see all that information anyway. I don't care at all about the ambient lighting, so it's really only FOMO...

I'm confused, could you recap what happened during your Lucid ownership experience? You had to hire a lemon law attorney, but then you bought a Gravity?

In an odd way, the Gravity struggles from not being more expensive. If it was a Ferrari, with Ferrari pricing, people would accept that it's a finicky vehicle. Partly because no one buys a Ferrari for their daily driver. And most people buy it purely for themselves, and don't worry whether...

I'd like to have the chance to drive a vehicle with the HUD, and see if I want the tech package or not. When I was test driving before, they never had a car with the HUD available. And I'm spending pretty much all of August traveling, so won't have a chance until next month to see if they can...

To me, the credibility of an organization rests heavily on a commitment to accuracy and truthfulness that is demonstrated by a track record of correcting when they get it wrong. Wikipedia has sometimes gotten it wrong, but they do a good job of correcting, and I've never heard of them...

As has been noted here on multiple occasions, Lucid's staff individually all seem to be really trying to deliver a good customer experience, but the company's lack of systems and process makes it hard for them to deliver consistently.

And if that reddit post was true, I'm pretty sure that Lucid would consider it a big enough deal to mention it in the release notes.

I don't mean that they literally do not care, but rather just that they've decided to prioritize something they've decided is even more important.

The only thing I can come up with is that they figure there's no point in improving their ability to answer the phone if they haven't improved their ability to do something productive with the phone calls. Answering the phone could be solved in a week or two. Having the capability to...

I'd like to hear people here noticing HUD improvement before I believe this post.

I do think the new management is probably genuinely working hard to improve things. But there are some baffling problems that they ought to be able to have solved in two weeks. Consistently answering the phone is a prime example. You don't even need to go through the process of hiring...

I think the value proposition of the Gravity DE is fantastic compared to the Cayenne, and the same is true of the GT-S. The Cayenne is a low volume vehicle, of course, but if Lucid steals away a few of Porche's sales, good for them.

I'd start by insistently asking them to provide an equivalent loaner vehicle. If they did that, then while perhaps not happy, I'd accept the situation.

I get a vibe that there are reviewers who are really enthusiastic about Lucid's engineering who decided to give them some breathing space to improve the Gravity, rather than publishing a review where they'd feel obligated to talk about all the flaws.

It's entirely possible that a year ago they thought they'd release a production vehicle if the concept car got a good reception, but then the botched Gravity launch caught up with them and so their plans changed and now they're just trying to keep the company afloat until they can launch Cosmos.

I'm puzzled by the "regulatory hell". Grid connected home batteries are already a thing, with multiple vendors offering them for sale. The only thing that seems different about V2H is that the car cannot be hard-wired, but instead has a plug. Not that I'm naive enough to think that...

While I expected a Sapphire Gravity launch, I can see the sense of what they've done. The engineering for the Dream was already done, so this costs them almost nothing to put into production. It gives them something to talk about. And they'll sell more of these than they would sell a $250K...

I doubt they really meant all the testing was entirely manual. That's basically unheard of these days. But testing graphic UI software has it's challenges. If you're creating software for a phone, a laptop, or a web browser, there's an entire industry of companies and tooling to support...

Maybe they're going to target the country music market, and release a monster truck Gravity trim. Add in another 24" of ground clearance, and fit four tractor tires! 🤣
