    Its still weird calling it a Space Force base instead of an Air Force base. That one is gunna take some time ;) I mostly work out of SLC-4E and SLC-4W. Great views. Terrible cell receptions. Did I mention the epic ocean views though? And don’t forget about the view!

    CarPlay is here! - Megathread

    I LOVE LucidInsider! Thank you for supporting the Lucid community in such an epic way. It's great to be here to see the full stream of consciousness, but LucidInsider is also a great place to really get the important, relevant data in an easy to consume way. Truly, well done and appreciated!

    No price differential on the X Plaid for me. I got in just after they brought it up (and as luck would have it same deal with my Lucid order -- whoops!) As of today I have cancelled my Model X Plaid order as well as my Cybertruck order. Just not excited about those anymore. More interested in...

    New member - Charlotte, NC Upgraded from Touring to GT

    EXCITING! Hope you love your GT when you get it! I almost went with red as well, but getting mine wrapped and it was suggested to do black as apparently it can help the wrap color.

    Great data, thank you! Never know, maybe someone will give up their VIN as it becomes available too. It's a tough decision, but I also consider myself lucky that I'm in a place where I get to make this decision.

    It won't be the end of a quarter this next go around, so I don't think they will pull another VIN from me. And yeah, really different vehicles. I'm more looking for something fun, new and inspiring to play with. Frankly I think the Air fits that more than the X, but also... May be nice to play...

    Ok, so Tesla moved up my next available window from October to July 17 -> August 7. Question is, do I accept delivery of the X now and sell it when my Air is built, or cancel the X and just wait for the Air? Have a Model 3 Performance I'm driving now and it works just fine. But I could use the...

    🤣 ha! Small world! My (possible) loss is his gain I guess? Not sure it is a loss, wouldn’t have moved to a Lucid had they not done that.

    Well, if he had a white on white car at the end of June, I guess I know who got my car now?

    First EV was a 2014 Model S and it was one of the first off the line with AP1 hardware. Software quirks do not frighten me. I live them 🤣 I actually enjoy getting in early and watching the system get improved and tweaked. It’s a bit… uh… rough right now. But that just means it can only get...

    I’m not sure if they realize that they are not the only game in town anymore. Reputation matters and it will be hard to rebuild theirs after they have burned every… single… bridge. Seems very short sighted to me. Then again Tesla keeps breaking their own sales records, so they must be doing...

    I hope I do! It will be fun when Tesla finally comes around with an available car and I can say, “oh, thank you but no need… I already have my Lucid Air 🤣” To be fair though, that’s an aggressive timeline and not really fair to Lucid. Still fun to dream though!

    And for anyone following along, my delivery date just got bumped to October. Ha!

    That sounds like an amazingly healthy system. Especially since the front line reps have direct access to the real issues customers are seeing. All products have issues. And listening to the support team is *always* a great thing. Good on them!

    I think that’s true of all things. You can’t make everyone happy and many may not realize what being an early adopter entails… but I love new tech and finding it’s quirks. As long as it has a solid foundation, the rest can be fixed as you go. For me, treating people / customers with respect is...

    Concur. I don’t think they care about the customer and are all about numbers right now. Too bad as that will come back to haunt them. Excited to join the Lucid club and can’t wait to take delivery! Hoping this year!
