My delivery advisor promised that the Touring could be upgraded at any time after the trial of DreamDrive Pro expired, even a year later.

As I mentioned in a previous posting, I picked up my Air Touring a week ago in Chicago, but I live in central Illinois. My Touring has 19-inch wheels with Pirelli tires. When I arrived home I discovered the driver's side rear tire was about 21 pounds low, at 28 psi. I pumped it up and on Monday...

My Touring came with a small book instruction manual that mainly contained only safety warnings and features. To actually operate the car I had to download and print out 50+ pages, which don't fit neatly in the glove box. I know the manual is available electronically in the car or on my phone...

Ars Technica is a very reputable website. This story appeared today on the site: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2023/02/tesla-finally-agrees-to-open-its-charging-network-to-all-evs-in-us/ Good news for all of us I hope.

First, the moderators perform a superb, albeit, thankless job keeping this forum readable and a great public service. This forum serves an invaluable service for Lucid owners, past, present and future. I am much more comfortable knowing what I might expect, positive and negative, with my new...

I picked up my Lucid Air Turing from the Chicago depot on Friday. I drove it 150 miles home and already love the car. But Lucid has to clean up its act. My delivery advisor could not answer several of the basic questions I asked (such as how to pair my garage door opener, the transmitter of...

Are there supposed to be covers or end caps on the rails on which the front seats ride? I look down at my beautiful plush Tahoe beige carpeting and I see big black rails with the screw mechanism for moving the seats fully exposed. Other cars I have owned camouflaged the seat rails. Just curious.

I picked up my Lucid Air Touring yesterday (2/10) from Goose Island, Chicago. I was waiting for a Pure, but my SA and DA found an unclaimed Touring in my exact configuration and with the $7,500 discount it wasn't much more than the Pure. I received the grandfathered price, since I had been...

Just heard from my sales advisor: the price reduction is not retroactive.

I write a newspaper column about technology. I mentioned problems with EA chargers in a recent column. This is the response from one reader: "There was only one check in from a Lucid driver. Complained about 20 kw charge speed, most other revs were doing fine, including 800v cars charging in...

According to CNN the CEO of Ford admitted to totally botching the Mach-E. And to think I almost gave up my Lucid reservation to buy one! https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/04/business/automakers-problems-catching-up-with-tesla/index.html

Don't hold your collective breaths for CarPlay or Android Auto. I was having a heated conversation with my Lucid Delivery Advisor, who was responding to my request she check into those features before I buy my Lucid. She said that at this time there are no plans to include CarPlay or Android...

I asked my delivery advisor about the delivery schedule for the Pure and if switching to Fathom Blue would speed it up. I also asked about the rumor of DreamDrive Pro possibly being built into all Lucids and activated by software subscription. This was the replay: "I do not have any...

For the tracker: I'm the one who reserved September 29, 2021. I confirmed August 11, 2022, finalized November 29, 2022. State: Illinois

All I ask is basic communication. Nagging my DA is not my style, and frankly, he doesn't respond when I do. I don't expect Peter R. to reply to a letter. It's best that he just run the company. Although once I complained to United Airlines and the CEO personally responded. Of course, that was...

Nobody has mentioned a very important range factor: weight, beyond that of the car. My Honda Accord came without a spare tire. I bought a compact spare for it and mileage decreased by .5 mpg. With the jack it was pretty heavy. One of the reasons Honda does not supply a spare is not only does it...

Saw a Lucid service van in Hinsdale last Saturday, but not the car being serviced.

Don't forget to keep tires inflated to a bit above specification. In cold weather you lose 1 pound pressure for every ten degrees of temperature decrease. I just checked the tires on my Accord, which were last checked a couple of weeks ago when the temperature was 45. They are all down...

I attempted to arrange a test drive at the Oakbrook (IL) studio last Saturday, one of the rare days I'm in the Chicago area. I live 150 miles away. Things became confused and it did not happen. Then I received an email on Tuesday saying that one of their Sales Advisors would drive the demo car...

No, Lucids are not catching fire. I merely posted the Ars Technica link to illustrate several major auto companies also have problems. Thus, Lucid is not some outlier. Please don't take the post out of context. In fact, when Chevy Bolts started going up in flames, GM replaced the batteries in...
