    Pure rebrand

    I completely agree. The "M3 market" is traditionally the type of car I've always had in the stable. I have no kids and can't say I ever need a rear seat, so anything bigger has always been a "what's the point?" for me. However, after I test drove the Air (both Pure and Touring), I was blown...

    EV Direct Sales Model and Serviceability: A Hidden Plus?

    As a Rivian owner, I've paid close attention to the improvements they've made to the recently released "Gen 2" vehicles and one of the many improvements included something I think hasn't received enough attention. Gen 1 Rivian's had fuse boxes that were located above the battery pack. This...

    I autocrossed my 2023 Lucid Air Pure AWD and here are my comments

    Autocrossing a Lucid Air is a bit like fencing with a Claymore, I'd imagine. That said, as a car enthusiast, I whole heartedly support such tomfoolery. Carry on, good sir.

    2.4.0 / 2.4.2 / 2.4.3 / 2.4.4 OTA

    Just downloaded 2.4.4 yesterday and I'm absolutely blown away by the improvement in wake speed from the app. Since taking delivery in April 2024, no joke, it would take over a full minute to wake the vehicle from the app. It was friggin' abysmal and utter unacceptable. In other words, the...

    Lucid needs to market and grab disenchanted Model S owners

    I think there's quite a distinction between what you seem to be referencing (a "fanboi") and cultish weirdos. I agree that every car brand has its fanboys. Then again, I never said otherwise - your argument is a false equivalency, when two things are inaccurately compared as if they are...

    Lucid needs to market and grab disenchanted Model S owners

    Nonsense. Every car I've ever owned had its own enthusiast base and within that group, there is always a sizable portion (sometimes a majority, sometimes a minority, but always present) that wouldn't have even considered a rival product because of the owner base. Right off the top of my...

    Lucid needs to market and grab disenchanted Model S owners

    This post is eerily timely. Yesterday I pulled into my office's parking lot, which has a few EV Level 2 chargers that are free to use for employees. Upon parking at an EV spot, as per usual, I popped open the frunk lid (to retrieve my briefcase) and charger door from inside, got out, and was...

    Wanting to step into a Lucid, trouble deciding

    It's a tough choice and similar to the one I had to wrestle with as well. At the time, Lucid had some left over 2023 Pure's that were being offered with insane lease deals. However, after driving a Touring, the extra power was plainly evident which is a top priority for me. Even with the...

    Rear emergency braking unavailable

    How timely - I've just starting getting this, too. It began last week as I was backing out of the garage. Went away instantly, though. Since there are no drivability issues, I've just chalked it up to software or at worst, a sensor starting to go bad.

    Are you planning to get another Lucid?

    Will I be getting another Lucid? Yes. Absolutely yes. My other posts on here have expressed disappointment in some software related stuff, but those issues are far, far overshadowed by the overall engineering and design that Lucid has brought to the automotive market. And that's the...

    5.0 miles/kWh: Say Hello to the World's Most Efficient Car

    5 mi/kWh is mighty impressive. I genuinely love that it's a Lucid Air and not something like a Leaf that has hit this target. It tickles me that the most efficient EV is a luxurious, powerful sedan and not a typical subcompact city car. It's just so...abnormal. It'd be like if the most...

    Excellent first service experience

    Well, none technically - I'm in Denver, so the mobile service team handled my issues. They did a great job and provided the service I expected from a brand positioning itself as a luxury EV manufacturer.

    Excellent first service experience

    ...it was fantastic! I had the typical stuff replaced. The clicking steering wheel and clacky/sticky silver appliqué buttons finally got to me, so I put in a service ticket. My pilot panel also stopped moving upward, so it was a good time to get service involved. I put in the service...

    VW investing up to 5 billion in Rivian.. per NY Times

    This is a reasonable position, to be sure. It reminds me of when keyless/comfort entry became a thing and my reflex was "How freakin' hard is it to pull a key out of your pocket and hit the unlock button to unlock the car?!". Then, I bought a car with it. If I were buying a new car today and...

    VW investing up to 5 billion in Rivian.. per NY Times

    Also have an R1S and completely agree on all points. The lack of SW features on the Lucid are particularly noticeable next to my R1S. Rivian has killed it on SW, particularly through regular monthly OTAs that both fix bugs and implement new features and functionality. To further drive home...

    Review of sapphire by MKB

    I own a 2024 Touring, thanks. I'm not sure why you assumed I didn't own a Lucid. In fact, here's my first post: https://lucidowners.com/threads/new-owner-car-enthusiast-is-exuberant.8632/#post-200213 No one said you didn't have a right to discuss your opinion of the key fob on the forums. I...

    Review of sapphire by MKB

    I love how most of this thread was highjacked by dorks that can't stop ranting about the key fob. Also: The Sapphire is probably the greatest daily driver ever made.

    Favorite feature of my Lucid is...

    Same. For me, even before you consider the stunning design, incredible packaging, refinement, fantastic seats, material quality, etc., the ride and handling balance is absolutely outstanding. Lucid built a car, not a phone on wheels. I swear, you just can't upset this car. I've rented...

    Colorado

    Lol, front plate - that's funny. I've been in CO for 20 years now and have never once put a front plate on any of my cars. I absolutely refuse to deface a car with a front plate. I'd be happy to pay the nominal fine for every violation if caught. For what it's worth, I've worked in law...
