    Lucid CEO teases mid-size in development

    I apologize. Yes, you're right. The mid-size seems to be a small SUV crossover as far as Pete has shown, with production to be 2026. I suspect a prototype to create hype will be more revealed by October by my guess. Price-point is under $50k, probably a Pure-version that will be around $48k...

    Lucid CEO teases mid-size in development

    Well, let's compare.. on the left is the delectable 1993 Ford Taurus and on the right is the 2022 Lucid Air Dream (Laughing..) The average person doesn't really know much about cars or cost or Hp or lateral-g's, etc. I usually tell them it's the new Ford Taurus. People who rent a Mustang...

    Time to complete 2 year service

    30 hours? So far mine's been there for a week.

    Lucid CEO teases mid-size in development

    I suspect Volkswagen Group's fit-and-finish in the Audi plant are a little more regulated. My wife having owned a Bavarian Motor Werks Z3 M, I can say tolerances are very tight and accurate, however there are interesting electronic gremlins, some intentional, that pop-up. A decoder is vital to...

    Time to complete 2 year service

    I'll start with the question, then sing my song: How long does 2-year-service take? I was able to determine my Lucid Service main location for Colorado (which is Chicago). Nice folks. Scheduled my 2-year service and within a few days they send a 3rd party exposed-flat-bed towing company to...

    Lucid CEO teases mid-size in development

    Just watched a Bloomberg discussion with our good man Peter Rawlinson and he mentioned the mid-sized option is "shhheduled for start of production late '26" for "$48 to $50,000 product; that's the big one for us, and many of my engineering team are working full [t'chat] on that right now." with...

    I find Italians make the most beautiful garbage.

    Lucid CEO teases mid-size in development

    I noticed that too. I think the steel-springs and Bilstein suspension remind me a lot of how several Lotus cars respond; dialed-in very very carefully and precisely; perfectly. I can tell a LOT of time was spent on that component, not as an afterthought like another car company might "slap on"...

    How to fix small scratch on leather steering wheel

    I question the type of leather on the steering wheel. It reminds me of the heavily coated LT4-trim of the Corvette that is repellant to leather conditioner intentionally. I'm using Pinnacle Sovereign Leather Conditioner on all leather surfaces and everything soaks it up greedily making all the...

    Not a winter car?

    I find with the winter-tire package it handles quite well in 6" snow here in Colorado. They're using Pirelli Sottozero, which are decent, but I'm more a fan of Bridgestone Blizzaks as being the best, so when the Pirellis wear-out I might replace them...

    Lucid CEO teases mid-size in development

    I would agree the handling is not that bad, but there is unprojected feel-uncertainty. Where are my grip-limits? Are the front and rear turn-in connected? Am I stepping-out? What's the brake pedal and steering wheel telling me? It's almost all visual on a Tesla; no resistance to controls...

    Lucid CEO teases mid-size in development

    Of the 3 Tesla owners I knew, (one was a Model S, the other two were Model 3s), all of them software-bricked at least twice, the S-owner's bricked 4 times in the 6 years he had it. All of them had door and trunk issues being locked-out repeatedly. All of them had interior pieces falling off or...

    Actually you are technically correct! In my job-sector of space systems design engineering, protection, and orbital analysis, no one almost ever uses Apple, which is interesting; actually, I think there was one guy who just retired had an extra iPhone burner because his granddaughter used it...

    AH! Thanks! It was on the Lucid OTA website. https://www.lucidupdates.com/ota-updates.html I didn't realize Lucid wasn't maintaining it! Homer Simpson, "DOH!" Thanks, Bobby!

    So I have Tidal and I don't care for it in any of my cars or at home. Why do you not like it? A little story based on opinion: Tidal's sound quality is allegedly 44.1 kHz at 16-bit (CD quality) unless your T-Mobile connection is meh, then it downgrades to 320kbps (MP3). Sometimes you can get...

    Might also include some other streaming services to become native instead of through AC/AA which would be an easy-ish effort. Even though it only offers 192kbps, Pandora sounds better than Tidal to me with the current speaker setup even though I consider myself an audiophile as there are ways...

    Auto Heated Seats & Steering Wheel?

    Silver-roofed Airs are more "Hoity-Toity" and "marked by an air of assumed importance" until they have an emotional meltdown/tantrum. When mine quirked-out a tiny bit with the keyfob today, she may have announced, "You LOVE me!" like Alicia Silverstone from the film, "The Crush" (1993)

    Auto Heated Seats & Steering Wheel?

    Almost bought a Polestar 2 BST 230 in Nebula Green but ran away for some reason last-minute. I'm just happy the auto-heated-seats worked at all! I think many users have not had their auto-heated seats to work or come on, but they may not have met the frigid threshold. Honestly, I'm overjoyed...
