I work for a radio station (WFMT, Chicago) and when XM first launched it carried some of our programming, including my show. Thus, I was one of the first to receive an XM receiver for my car. The receiver was just fine, but the antenna was about a 1-inch square block on the interior rear deck...

I chose Zenith red, although I would accept the Cosmos silver as second. But I concur that British Racing Green would be very desirable! I really liked the color of the DE and would have paid a couple of grand extra on my Pure to get that color.

I agree with all the posts in this thread. I'm past 70 and the Pure will be my first major indulgence. I never had a "midlife crisis." No red sports car! So I tell my friends I'm just having my midlife crisis 30 years late by buying a Lucid. I've always owned plain vanilla cars, except for my...

I suppose this should go under "delivery tracker." While driving up Chicago's Dan Ryan Expressway (I-90/94) yesterday, I was passed by a car carrier in a hurry. I always look to see what cars are aboard and to my very pleasant surprise, there were 8 Lucid Airs. They were mostly wrapped in...

This is an incredibly good article from the Politico website concerning everything you ever wanted to know about EV charging: https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2022/10/28/electric-vehicles-fueling-station-gas-utilities-infrastructure-00063398

I've read with interest the multiple posts about 12v battery issues/failures. I gather these 12v batteries are lead-acid. There are 12v Li batteries available. Why in a car powered by 1,000 pounds of Li did they decide on a lead-acid battery for the 12v system? I used to be an automotive...

This post sums it up politely for me: "Ordering a custom built Mini over ten years ago, they had a very detailed timeline showing you where your car was in the process, an updated delivery “range” based on current status, etc. It was all very impressive back then, I could literally track my car...

I live in Mahomet, IL, a suburb of Champaign, about 150 miles straight down I-57 from Chicago. I work for a radio station in Chicago (WFMT) and thought the Lucid would be perfect, since my once a week commute is 300 miles R/T. Alas, I'll be retiring before my Pure arrives. I assume I'll be...

Please read this from the highly reputable Ars Technica website (which is where I first read about Lucid): https://arstechnica.com/cars/2022/10/drivers-woefully-overestimate-hands-free-driver-tech-study-shows/

My sales advisor confirmed that "lane departure protection" is part of the standard Dream Drive. I really don't care about removing my hands from the steering wheel. I can do that briefly with my Honda Accord, but I prefer to keep my hands on the wheel. I do like feeling that hint from the car...

Don't know which thread this fits, but I thought it might be of interest to y'all: New York CNN — Tesla announced its delivery and production numbers for the third quarter Sunday, reporting 343,000 total deliveries and 365,000 vehicles built, falling below...

Could someone recommend an honest, competent Chicago-area detailer who can provide the PPF/ceramic coating?

I feel for everyone on this forum who has encountered serious issues with his/her new Lucid. Back in 1972 I bought one of the first Mazdas with the Wankel rotary engine. Technologically, the Wankel was a wonder and performed better than a conventional V8. In the three years I owned that Mazda it...

I tried posting this awhile back, but I don't think it ever appeared. One reason for a metal roof vs. glass is that a metal roof in a lightning storm is safer. You've probably read that in an electrical storm the second safest place to be after your home is in a car. That's because the metal...

Everyone is discussing Apple CarPlay. What's the status of Android Auto? I am not dissing Apple, but some of us prefer Android. Any word on Lucid's relationship with Google and implementation of Android Auto? Thanks, Rich

While doing a bit of research I learned if you live in an area where thunderstorms are common, stick with the metal roof. I'm not referring to hail damage. The second safest place to be after your home during a lightning strike is your car, assuming your car has a metal roof. The skin effect of...

I just asked for an update on my firm order for the Air Pure from my sales advisor to which he responded: As for Pure production timing, I have not received an update and confirmed with my manager that Lucid has not announced any specifics on timing. When I asked whether I would receive a zenith...

If you can't get the magnet to work, a small tab of Velcro should work and still look presentable.

1. Range 2. Technology (it knows more about lithium batteries than nearly any other car manufacturer and its proprietary motors are impressive)

I confirmed with my Lucid sales advisor that the USB-A jack in all Lucids only charges your phone/accessories. It cannot be used for audio. That's already been discussed on this forum. This is an absurd decision on Lucid's part. Nearly every car on the road includes a USB-A jack for not only...
