You guys are making me really not want to receive my car on Wednesday…

Ha ha, me too. Wife has been complaining and asking why we own stupid gray floor mats for a car we don’t even have yet. Of course, my DE is set to be delivered in the middle of a snowstorm on Wednesday so the mats will be important.

Totally agree, for the opposite reason: in Colorado’s freezing winters, it is absolutely delightful to trudge out to the parking garage to a toasty car.

Hydbob, is this still an issue? So discouraging.

Agree. He has taken the cumulative issues from the past 2 months and summarized them.

Update on the delivery of my Air DE, which was supposed to be Tuesday, then moved to tomorrow: It is postponed again while it awaits 1.1.7. My DA explained that they are still pushing a final update to my car and the other DEs. I talked to him and he explained that 1.1.7 addresses all the...

Yep - on my Model S

My DA told me yesterday that they were in the process of pushing 1.17 OTA to all DEs this week…

I still think we should be cheering for Lucid to get the Air’s problems figured out rather than hoping they will rush to produce 20,000 cars. My DE is set to be delivered Tuesday, but now I’m apprehensive because of the new screen issue that is being reported.

I think you should call Lucid. Range is their biggest bragging right currently. They will want to know if there’s an issue.

How cold was it? In Colorado, the range in my Model S gets eaten up very, very quickly. Last night it was 10 degrees and my car said 163 miles of range but barely made it 85 miles before I had to detour to a supercharger. This is life with EVs, and you get used to charging to max before going...

This is your cars telling you both to “stop” living in Florida.

If I were a Lucid exec, I would release more DEs, under a different name. That solves the problem, fills the demand, keeps the DEs “exclusive.” Lamborghini has done this repeatedly over the years, ie keeping the Sian “limited” by changing it slightly and releasing a different limited edition...

This is all theoretical, but sure: let’s say that a year from now Lucid announces an additional run of 1000 more Dream Edition Airs. Some (all?) of the 520 original DE owners would be pissed because their DE Airs are no longer quite so exclusive. So, someone calls a class action or mass tort law...

That would be me. And yes, it would be a serious legal problem for Lucid if they increased production of the DE beyond the stated 520. It doesn’t have to be a “promise” to be misleading or a Deceptive Trade Practice. The DE was significantly more expensive than the lower models in part because...

When I was a teenager working at a car wash 30 years ago, I tried to slam shut the trunk of a Cadillac. It didn’t close so I reached in to try to re-open it, using my fingers on the lid - not realizing it was motoring itself shut. It squeezed and squeezed down onto my fingertips and probably...

And is it true that it takes 15 minutes for the batteries to warm up to use Sprint Mode?? That would be disappointing, since my average commute is about 10 minutes. Right now, that’s 10 minutes of Ludicrous Mode for me.

So the rear-view camera turns off once you start moving? Is there a way to select rear camera mode to remain on while driving, like in a Tesla? It is one of my favorite and most-used functions in my MS. Much safer than mirrors, IMHO.

Good info, thank you!

Well I didn’t intend to. On Saturday morning we planned delivery (in Colorado) for today. I asked him to please make sure it had 1.17 and none of the problems we are seeing on here. I was half-joking but he took me wholly serious and called back later that day to say they wanted to push a week...
