    Missed Q2 2023 Production and Delivery Numbers

    Living on the north shore of Chicago, I have so far seen just three Lucid Airs on the road, one about a year ago, and two in the past month. I have seen more Ferraris on the road in this same time period. A positive spin is to say it is a very exclusive car. The price point reinfoces that...

    Cancellation experience

    Rule #1 in sales is get the product in the customer's hand ASAP. There's this carpeting company in the Midwest called Empire and they sold this approach as a customer service advantage. Their commercials always stated "Buy today, and we'll install it tomorrow." Sounds great, right? Well the...

    Is Volvo jealous of the Gravity?

    Meh, looks like either a Toyota or a Nissan to me.

    Song Recommendations to get the best out of the Air sound system!

    I don't know how these will sound in the Air, but these sound awesome in my home system which is on the higher end of high-end.

    Ordering and Delivery: Lucid Air Grand Touring

    Impossible to tell if wrapped cars are moving out and being replaced with new wrapped cars, or if those same cars have been sitting there a while. Those who complain about no car carriers need to remember there is lots of time in the day when the drone is not flying overhead. The video of the...

    Project Gravity (Lucid Motors SUV) Page Now Live

    That photo look aweful. The wheels sticking out three inches beyond the wheel wells look like an aftermarket hack. Far worse than Lucid's own renderings of what their Gravity will look like.

    Project Gravity (Lucid Motors SUV) Page Now Live

    Interesting perspective on a photo of an SUV that has no wood sides and is very curvey in styling. Below is what you're describing. The Gravity looks nothing like that.

    Dolby Atmos

    Oh, now I understand what you are saying. I'm not a huge expert on Master Quality Authentication (MQA) but from what I know there are a few ways it gets implemented. One is hardware which is the best, the other is a software implementation which I've heard is not the ideal. Most MQA files are...

    EV investing in general

    I'm not sure facinating is the word I'd use for the Lucid Twitter Community. You are right, all you hear is praise. But there is also the retweets of retweets, no real critical thinking, and then there's the folks trying to buy likes. It's all very strange. But everyone should love the fact...

    EV investing in general

    Maybe you're right. But here's a few points that sway my thinking the other way. Stocks get valued somewhat on the companies future potentail. Tesla stock is not worth it based on their current performance but as we just witnessed, Tesla's earnings are knocking it out of the park every...

    Dolby Atmos

    This is interesting. I did not realize you could play TIDAL MQA files through the iPhone. While I don't own a Lucid Air, yet. I do have a Mazda CX-5 and normally I play TIDAL MQA files through an Onkyo DP-X1A using bluetooth. In the past I compared listening to my music using my iPhone then...

    Read the second bullet point from this Car and Driver article. As I said, the MGU does not power the front wheels. It is not a four wheel drive race car. You are correct that it supplies electricity to the rear wheels, but it also regenerates the batteries...

    I've read the front MGU is only to regenerate the batteries and not to power the front wheels. It is a change, but the battery tech is also a fairly big change going from cylindrical cells provided be Atieva to bag cells provided Total Staf. Additionally the cars are shorter, narrower, and...

    The "Say" website has its issues. So here's the question: "It seems that Formula E will switch from Atieva cells to cells made by Total Staf in conjunction with Williams Advanced Engineering. What impact does that have on your financials, and why did Formula E make this change?"

    Here's the question I asked. I do my own research on Lucid and ask deeper probing questions. What is key here is why the change in this key technology and does Lucid lose a bragging right? Your votes are welcome, and I'd love to hear from anyone with insights into this...

    Excellent observation, and I added the word pablum to my list of words to remember. Thanks. Many of the questions are dilatory. Perhaps there should be a different sine qua non besides how many shares one owns!

    Chicago In The Wild

    I think it was similar when the Model S first came out. In a year or two people won't be so hyped up about the Air.

    Chicago In The Wild

    I've seen a few VW ID.4 too. Yea, I have been surpirsed too. Was begining to think the Lucid Air was a hoax or they were seriously behind on the production goals. But they again, the market is much smaller for $140,000+ cars.

    Chicago In The Wild

    Roughly six months after the Air's release, here's my first sighting of one in the wild just north of Chicago. I saw it coming from a few blocks away and had time to pick up my phone and grab a shot. I've seen plenty of Teslas, a few Mustang Mach-Es, and saw my first Polestar 2 last week so...

    Music Streaming Quality

    While I don't own a Lucid Air yet, I'm not sure I'd ever want to use an app from the car for audio. I use an Onkyo DP-X1 which can play Tidal Master Files and convert MQA which I'm pretty sure Lucid cannot do. If Lucid's Bluetooth supports the Qualcomm aptX standard, the sound quality through...
