    Holy corporate speak!

    You must be a lot smarter than me. Three decades at GE and I don't get how these positions in a company make things better for me as a customer.

    How Long Do You Plan To Hold On To Your Lucid Air?

    I will keep mine for one more turtle mode event.

    Turtle mode during boot

    Our car went into Turtle mode and refused to move in either direction. Everything seems normal (gear indicator works) but car will not move. Orange Turtle symbol on screen. Called service. Did a long reboot and it worked. I can't imagine what life would be like if it happened while driving at...

    Air Pure reservations

    It's almost a must have for South Florida. I may have to buy a dream edition set from eBay.

    Air Pure reservations

    5,000? seriously ? I put a $250 dollar deposit a few months ago. I owned an early Fisker Karma. Excellent chassis. A few major mechanical design flaws and the software done by college freshmen.

    Air Pure reservations

    Got the DEP in Dec 2021. Placed the order for a Pure March 2022. I agree with U. Lots of choices in 2023. Lucid needs to get a few Pure models on the wild by Q3 or start losing the sub $100k crowd.

    Air Pure reservations

    Forgot to mention we already own DEP #180. interested in a pure as an addition. I don't understand why A/C seats can't be made available if they are already designed for the rest of the models (for a fee).

    Still wavering on the fence

    It took us a few months to decide but once we realized we kept using the Lucid a lot more often we did sell the Taycan. BTW, the Taycan sold close to MSRP after a two year ownership.

    CarPlay is here! - Megathread

    Last month, while driving at night on the turnpike, Waze informed us of an object that appeared to have fallen from a small truck. We slowed down and manage to spot it early enough to go around it. Dark rusted metal object that would clearly have ruin someone's day (or night in this case). I do...

    Air Pure reservations

    Looks as if Lucid adapted the Porsche Taycan business model. Both have 4 models. Both use the same body/chassis setup across all models. Both are clever enough to push you to the next level up the chain by removing must haves from the lower offering. A/C seats are a must have for us in South...

    CarPlay is here! - Megathread

    Lucid should take advantage of center screen that has the largest display area. I never understood why Lucid did not copy the Taycan. I would rather see the maps in the center display than see a needle swing back and forth to let me know if the car is accelerating or decelerating.

    Ain’t heavy

    I was surprised to see Kyle did not test the Rivian using the conserve mode. In my experience the conserve mode delivers 10-15% better m/kWh.

    Ain’t heavy

    Although there is some structural benefit, the coefficient of expansion for Glass and Aluminum is such that it requires some form of separation between the two to compensate for the variance. The glass panel is usually smaller than the opening it covers and it is glued on with flexible adhesives.

    Ain’t heavy

    A small weight difference at a high elevation does make a difference in driving dynamics. I am sure the suspension gurus at Lucid know this and will make the necessary changes.

    Air Pure standard equipment

    If I am not mistaken Lucid uses Permanent Magnet motors. PM motors create cogging torque as the permanent magnets are always magnetized and create a drag. Switching to FWD, the driving motors may have to overcome the loss created by the drag created by the rear motors. At one point Peter...

    Air Pure standard equipment

    No one has final numbers. Judging from the number of battery modules and keeping the aero efficiency the same the Pure should be able to deliver 400+ miles. The dual motor will add weight and possibly some aero resistance but, judging from the Rivian which delivers the better m/kWh using just...

    How effective is your air conditioner?

    It's all about removing BTUs. The fastest way to remove BTU''s is to start driving fast, roll down all the windows for a minute or two, and turn on recirculation.
