Absolutely correct BUT way too much work for me compared to paying for overnight electricity at my home garage. It is easier for my old brain (or what is left of it) to simply plug in every night and let it recharge to 80%.

I understand your concerns. But even established luxury car makers are having these types of software issues: https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/taycan-problems-are-overwhelming-an-otherwise-great-car.16987/ CR says it expects the Mercedes EQS to be less reliable than other electric...

Lucid does monitor this forum and does so in a public way. If other manufacturers have members monitoring their forums, I have not seen it in my previous BMW forums. @mcr16 has brought real value to this forum.

Yep. As the saying goes: control/alt/delete. Amazing how many devices that helps.

It is amazing how much the temperature drops in greater Phoenix as soon as one enters a parking garage and especially if it is underground. Two levels down your car will be in a perfect external temperature. One of the nicest things about my golf club is that it has underground parking. I can...

good call.

In general, I do agree that BMWs tend to be very reliable and I did love driving my BMWs. When I test drove them I thought the I4 and IX drove better than the Genesis. However, I couldn't get past the looks where you and I disagree about the current design ethos of the brand but otherwise, we...

It is in the nature of forums that folks post problems. If one limits one's purchases to vehicles that do not show lots of problems on the vehicle's customer forum (assuming there is one), one will be waiting for a long time. When I got tired of waiting for the Lucid I got the Genesis...a car...

Almost all EV makers have been struggling with reliability. Consumer Reports had rated the BMW IX tops; it just downgraded the IX substantially because of reliability issues (reliability score of the IX was 39 out of 100). Yes...I did give up, at least for now, on getting a Lucid as the wait...

Yes. Four 21" Pilot Sport 4S tires with certs set me back almost $2500.

What a low standard! What's next...a Yugo? After driving a Lucid Air DE sedan driving a massive underpowered truck across the country is true punishment. Was this a criminal sentencing alternative to jail? If yes...why did you choose it?

That is one of my most common complaints. Car companies call it "minimalist design"; I call it "cheapist design". They do it to save money as it is much cheaper to put everything on an inexpensive tablet. I can even understand this on a mainstream vehicle. But I cannot understand this on a...

I used to say that I would never buy another vehicle without a HUD. Then I went on the waiting list for a Lucid. My reason was that I was willing to consider the Lucid despite not having a HUD because, as @Bobby and @borski pointed out, the binnacle is almost a HUD. But it still would be nice...

I drive around North Scottsdale. There is one parked in a cul de sac a few blocks away from my house and it is rare that I don't see at least one every time I am on the road. I played golf yesterday with my golfing partner who has a Lucid Air and there was another one parked in the golf...

You are absolutely correct but the same would apply to a BMW M car, Mercedes AMG car, Cadillac Blackwing, etc. I doubt very many of these cars are regularly driven at or near the speed limit and I doubt that the owners actually get anything near the EPA scores. I think what is important is...

I would add that Waymo has also given Jaguar an excellent view of what happens with an EV with high mileage given their usage in the Bay and Phoenix areas.

While these are marketed as safe driving, if one drives the speed limit on an Arizona highway it will become dangerous. Drivers of other cars will give you the finger as they pass you. You hope that they are giving you the finger as road rage is common in Arizona. It shouldn't be an issue if...

A friend of mine and I describe the relationship as: "she who must be obeyed". It will work well for you.

Or a lodestone. I am spatially challenged and even with a compass and paper map I used to get lost and could still get lost. I often use my car's nav feature to get me to an area where I am familiar with the roads and then I cancel the nav. For people like me, it really helps to see things...

The problem with the proximity sensor, vs the left foot in and left foot out (etc.), is that it can open at inopportune times or ways. I have that on my GV60P and I disabled it. The reason I turned it off is that I was in a noisy parking garage walking away from my vehicle when I saw a driver...
