    Long time EV owner looking at Gravity

    I'm an Rivian R1S owner and a Lucid Air owner. Here are my immediate thoughts: 1. Tesla has attracted many people who view cars as appliances with their emphasis on pushing FSD. As a a car guy, FSD is literally the last thing I want in a car. That said, I couldn't tell you how FSD compares...

    Mobile key unlocking delay

    Lol, no sir, you're not alone. I'm in the same exact boat. I've had my '24 Touring since April and the abysmal locking/unlocking functionality of this car is absolutely, positively, the most aggravating part of the car. The FOB doesn't work 100% of the time, but it's better than PaaK. The...

    Ford's CEO says that large EV truck are currently not feasible

    I mean, Farley's not wrong, but it's a bit short-sighted. Then again, this is exactly the stance I'd expect of Ford, which like many other major automotive businesses, are highly risk averse and can't be bothered to actually do the hard work to build an innovative product that creates demand...

    Open letter to Lucid after 7 months of ownership

    Well said. The truth hurts, but it is what it is. The software issues remind me of a quote one of my old company commanders would say that really stuck with me: "Organizations are destined to fail if they can't do routine things routinely". The average consumer simply will not put up with...

    Doors re-locking before I get to the driver’s door

    God, this happens all the time. Super irritating, especially in public. I’ve also just given up and leave my door ajar if I know I’m going to open it soon after shutting the trunk or frunk.

    Anyone try Rubbit for cleaning the car?

    Been detailing my cars for over 15 years and I've never heard of Rubbit. After checking it out, I agree that it looks like a typical "waterless" wash product, albeit with a twist by using a foam sprayer. So, here's my two cents: 1. Waterless car wash products are great IF used within their...

    Black carpeted floor mats

    If you don't mind forgoing the logo, you could go with Lloyd Mats. They make some of the best carpeted mats in the business, especially if you spring for their Lux line, which offer very deep, plush carpet. They allow you to choose your color and piping color, too. I've had them in previous...

    Who wants a Sport Package?

    I've sat in those and while nice, they aren't quite as supportive as a Recaro style seat you'd find in an AMG or M car, which is what I'd prefer.

    Who wants a Sport Package?

    As much as I love how my Lucid drives, I still wouldn't mind a bit more sportiness. Nothing crazy, but I'd love: A quicker steering rack; Sport seats with more aggressive bolstering; Firmer springs and sportier suspension tuning for a bit quicker turn-in response; Lightweight wheels and...

    Software Improvements and Features Suggestions

    God, 2 and 3 would be great. Both are just common freakin' sense. Essentially, make it like a normal car - park the car, turn car off, everything turns off. Simple.

    Best Damn Car AND Best Damn Car Buying Experience. Ever.

    Great post! Love the spec and I have the same exterior color - it gets tons of attention pretty much everywhere I go. I'm very happy to hear that your UI and software experience is so positive. These are the only issues I have on my '24 Touring, otherwise it's a flawless car. Even still, as...

    Best Damn Car AND Best Damn Car Buying Experience. Ever.

    Yep, Tuxmats are the best on the market. I literally brought them with me to delivery so they would be in the car on day one.

    Savagegeese Series on Gravity

    I just finished watching the video and as expected, was mesmerized - I could listen to Mr. Rawlinson for hours. It's such a breath of fresh air to listen to a CEO that is as earnest as they are wise - an incredibly rare quality nowadays. It also confirmed why I drive a Lucid and own stock...

    Why is No One Talking About All of the Improvements to the 2025 GT?!?

    This. The Batpod sounded so cool and it was the first instance that showed me that electric motors could sound menacing. I too like the motor whine not just from how it sounds, but from the information it gives me while hustling the car. In much the same way an ICE engine's sound conveys...

    Excellent first service experience

    Yep, sounds about right - it's to the point that it doesn't even matter the make, all of the dealerships offer worse and worse customer service nowadays. Despite being put through the wringer over the years by countless dealerships, I'm both amazed and unsurprised whenever I hear about yet...

    Vredestein Wintrac Pro 245/40-20 Square Set-Up - It fits!

    TLDR: They fit and they're a great tire for those looking to have real traction in actual snow with none of the squirminess, noise, or vagueness of typical winter tires. These are highly rated and also among the most affordable winter tires in their class. Thumbs up for me...

    Opinions about Hey Lucid

    You'd think so, but given that I've already hard reset my Air twice today for having unresponsive HVAC buttons and a hood that kept opening and closing like Pac-Man, you'd be dead wrong.

    Opinions about Hey Lucid

    Hyperbole? Sure. It's how I express myself. Hyperbole is a common ingredient in any piece of creative writing where stylistic effect and emphasis can increase reader engagement and make one's point more salient. That said, no one said it was the end of the world. And of course it will get...

    Opinions about Hey Lucid

    It's trash. It's bad and Lucid should feel bad. Because I don't have the time to hop on this forum every single time my Air has a glitch (because of life, you see), I haven't had the chance to check if anyone else has "Listening" pop up randomly while driving, whether listening to music, a...

    CHP testing Lucid Airs for Police Duty
