I am truly amazed at the number of entry problems Lucid owners are encountering, including me. There are 4 methods of entry (5, if you include the "nuclear option" of calling Lucid's emergency line to unlock your doors). Sadly, I have had problem with all 5 of these methods at one time or...

The "key card/credit card thingy" is, I believe, the valet card. Mine never worked from Day 1. To make a long story short, after two mobile tech visits, Lucid concluded that the sensor in the B-pillar was defective. They replaced the sensor, and it works now.

I think they are secured with clips. If you scrape the bottom, they will fall off. Mine did. Yes, $83!

I am in the same space as momo3605. Since I reside in Phoenix, I've seen self-driving cars with LIDAR roaming the streets for more than 10 years. And I have been in Waymos and am impressed with what they can do. Waymo's scanning LIDAR (presumably) can scan and range 3D maps of its...

It is an evolving market. But the trend is towards turnkey packages. Yes, it will take some time for the eco-system to fully develop. Lucid is not exactly a SW power-house. They need to pursue a turnkey sol'n vs in-house development.

I am not familiar with what Lucid is doing with Nvidia. My point is, Lucid should buy the entire, validated and certified ADAS solution, sensors, chips, algorithm, etc. from an accredited supplier as a turn-key solution, and connect it with Lucid's drive platform. Lucid is too small to tackle...

I don't have any expertise in LIDAR. But, what do you make of these articles? https://www.autovision-news.com/adas/lidar-systems-rain-fog/ https://www.electropages.com/blog/2021/05/why-heavy-rain-not-bad-lidar-and-self-driving-vehicles https://www.cts.umn.edu/news/2023/april/lidar

I live in Arizona. It hardly every rains. But, when it rains, the LIDAR sensors sends alerts. My understanding is that the water droplets can absorb/scatter the IR. I don't think my LIDAR is defective. I always wonder what the LIDAR actual does on the Lucid. So, when it rains and the Lucid...

@Negen1000 should answer your question. That said, LIDAR is affected by rain. I presume that can cause false readings. My Lucid LIDAR alerts me every time it rains. ;)

Quite the contrary. > I am a big fan of all these safety features being deployed on new automobiles. I love it! > No, my 2017 Lexus does not have rear pedestrian detection. And neither the Lexus nor my Rivian tells me what type shoes the rear pedestrian wears. Yet, with the 360 view (which...

To each his/her own! I am glad you are happy with paying $10k extra for DDP, I am not in that camp, not because I dislike DDP. But the slow roll-out, anemic features, and extra charge make Lucid non-competitive! Difference in personal preferences aside, the real question for Lucid is whether...

Your articulation of the disappointment RE: DDP is spot-on! Like you, I wasn't expecting FSD. But for $10,000, the features that are currently on DDP is about the same as (or even less than) on competitive cars that don't charge extra for DD-like features. About 10mo ago, I was at an EA...

Yup, the same thing happened to me!

I never said Lucid was misleading on ADAS. I've never said they promised hands-free L3 and above. My points: > Lucid has taken way too long on ADAS and they are years behind competition. > Lucid has done a very poor job on communicating where they are where they are going. > Lucid does not...

I am no fan of Musk and Tesla. As I stated in a different post, I was ready to adopt EVs as far back as 2008. I looked at but decided not to buy a Tesla. Lucid was the first EV I purchased. I was not and am not looking for hands-free as a requirement when I purchased the Air. ADAS, as...

So, Elon Musk is a liar because he continues to slip his schedule of implementing a feature. But Rawlinson is better because he promise a feature on the Air (now 3 years old) but never communicated a date when it will happen?!

Thanks for the explanation. There is LIADAR (e.g., Waymo), and there is LIDAR (e.g., on iPhones/iPads), and there is LIDAR (on the Lucid), and there is LIDAR on some high-end Chinese EVs (see Kyle's China visit). I am a big fan of LIDAR. And there is LIDAR on my AGT. Literally, it can just...

Aside from the weather, what kind of driving were you doing? City? Hwy? Both? Speed?

Are the following bullets correct: > a number of review sites test drove the Gravity in Nov '24./Dec'24 > >however, all of these test drives were "supervised" vis-a-vis, there was a Lucid chaperon on the test drive and the reviewers are not allowed to explore the electronics/dash settings etc...

I am familiar with Tesla. I am a long time EV advocate. I facilitated my garage for two EVs in 2008 (L2 charging). During 2010-2020, I looked at the available EVs (mostly Tesla's, BMWs, MB, etc.) but decided against all of them (efficiency, range, features etc.). Instead, I bought a PHEV in...
