Unlike many of you, I had little recent experience with luxury cars, so my expectations for my Lucid Air were neutral. I didn't realize I bought a Mercedes-class car until I was ensconced in then Air's driver's seat. I've been a member of this forum for over a year and was reading it as a...

We took delivery of our Touring in February from Goose Island. Our DA was helpful and tried explaining the myriad features of the Touring. It took a couple of hours. We were in a hurry to beat the rush hour or she would have spent more time with us. She did take a photo of us with the car, beats...

I upgraded from all-wheel drive Pure to Touring because in February my DA claimed that it might be another 3-6 months before I could get a Pure, but I could have the Touring the next day. I am glad I went with the Touring. The only thing about the Touring I truly dislike is the glass canopy...

Supposedly my Air Touring came with all the hardware for DreamDrive Pro and a 90 day trial period that ends today. How exactly does this end? Do I receive a notification from Lucid? Also, I paid for SurrealSound Pro, but don't listen to Dolby Atmos tracks. Am I getting anything extra for my $3K...

I pulled into the EA charger at the Target on Larrabee St. in Chicago. I believe it has eight chargers. I had to plug in twice, but the second time was an immediate success. I was down to 50 percent and had preconditioned. The charger, rated at 150 kw, looked like one of EAs older models, but it...

My average over the three months I've driven the Air Touring with 19-inch wheels is about 3.5. On recent journeys between Champaign and Chicago (which has insignificant elevation differential) in 20 mph winds with ambient air temperatures between 55-75 at 73 mph, I've averaged about 3.7. With a...

3 months, 3,000 miles: No unusual noises, rattles, or squeaks.. Pleasantly quiet at highways speeds.

Why do so many people expect technology to save them? Although my Lucid Air Touring includes all the helpful aids to prevent me from damaging my car or someone else's vehicle, I still operate it like my 2007 Camry. When parking or in tight situations I roll slowly, repeatedly look in all...

I had my first experience with someone pulling over and asking about my car (Lucid Air Touring). Like others on the forum have experienced, I kept trying to explain to her that Lucid is a new company making cars in the USA. What really would have been great to have in hand was a hand-out or...

As mentioned in the post, the battery was pre-conditioned. The car was updated to .59 software before this occurred. Actually, Lucid tech informed me that the .56 update was for specific cars and not all Lucids. Mine was not one of those cars that needed .56.

I pulled into the Rockford, IL Electrify America charger in a very cold rain Sunday (4/16). I got pretty wet just getting the plug into the car. That's when it dawned on me! When was the last time you got wet pumping gas into your ICE car? Nearly all gas stations cover their pump islands. I've...

On Saturday (4/15) I received my $7,500 rebate from Lucid. Thank you Lucid. All good now.

This is a great unbiased survey (other than driving the Ford 150 Lightning) on the current charging situation from Politico:. https://www.politico.com/news/2023/04/12/electric-vehicle-road-trip-takeaways-00085508

I posted a week ago about not having received my $7,500 rebate from Lucid for my Air Touring. I contacted the chief delivery advisor at Goose Island, Chicago, from which I had picked up my Lucid. He said the checks were mailed last week (April 3-7). At the worst USPS speed from Newark, CA to...

It is curious why car manufacturers (not just Lucid) are behind the curve. FAT32 is an old and rather primitive file format. Microsoft replaced it with exFAT (designed specifically for external drives). I would be happy if the car could read NTFS formatted drives. I'm not certain if this is a...

Although I have yet to have a tire problem, I contacted Pirelli via its website asking how to register for the warranty and how to buy road hazard insurance. That was a week ago and have not heard back from them.

I picked up my Lucid Air Touring at Goose Island, Chicago, Friday, February 10. The night before (2/9) I received a revised purchase agreement with the $7,500 price rebate. I executed it and it was accepted. However, I already had the cashier's check from my bank for the original amount and...

Kudos to Lucid for incorporating CarPlay. Whether you use it or not, as they say, "your mileage may vary." There's a most interesting article on the Ars Technica website by Roberto Baldwin today (4/3) about GM dropping CarPlay. I am excerpting one paragraph. "Software-driven vehicles should be...

I was visiting Mountain View, CA last week and saw a Lucid decked out like a Google Waymo test vehicle with all the special sensors and Mars-like light atop. The body was finished in a pattern that repeatedly spelled Lucid. Not sure if this was a Lucid car being used to map streets and highways...

I concur. If a politically neutral administrator ran Tesla, I would have judged its cars strictly on their merit. I recently spent a weekend in the backseat of friends' two-year old Model 3 and found it quite comfortable (and I'm 6'1"). They said they have not had one day of trouble with the...
