    This I like...Things I don't...Things I miss as a former Tesla M3 owner

    I think Lucid has solved this front motor noise issue with more sound insulation in the Gravity SUV.

    Taking Care of the Battery - Suggestions from Battery Engineer from Lucid

    To me it is more risky at 0%. At a low state of charge, especially in freezing cold weather, it might not behave as when it's not low: You might get stranded. If my drive takes 70%, I would avoid the lower state of charge choice so I would choose 100-30% rather than 80-10%. If a load takes...

    Lucid Audio Experience AMA (March 11, 2025)

    My preference is the resonance of the bass frequency that can trigger vibrations from objects like my loose clothes or even my body feeling the bass resonance. To me, great music is not just about the "loudness" but the resonance of the bass that I can "feel." In the meantime, what's the...

    Newbie questions

    I would use wifi because it's faster than your car cellular data transmission speed. Originally, Tesla didn't charge for using its car cell data usage. After a while, it has now charged $10/month for that practice. Back to Lucid, it's now free to use its car cell data to update your firmware...

    Ideally, it should automatically stop once you complete your turn. You might have to make a significant turn for it to turn off automatically. If you just change to another lane, that might not be enough of a substantial turn from your steering wheel to make it turn off automatically. I wish...

    Drive Assist Cancelled error with 2.6.0

    It happened more often in previous versions. Recent versions have reduced, but not eliminated the issue. I suspect it's a bug. Let's hope it will get eliminated in the next version.

    Drive Assist lane centering and curves issues

    I would make a wild guess that it's software and not the hardware. Tesla AP1 was not very powerful but its lane centering and lane change were very good and smooth. When Tesla switched to the then much more powerful AP2, it was initially not usable. It took years for AP2 to catch up with...

    Gravity Release Timeline

    I understand it is not a quick ramp-up, so it might be longer than you expect. We don't know the exact dates but we got an idea on the sequence of deliveries: 1) Insiders (done) 2) Showrooms (not done, expect coming weeks) 3) public (expect productions will not keep up with demands for this...

    Gravity Release Timeline

    In the earnings report: the ramp up start in the second half of 2025. Don't expect a quick ramp up. Do expect that the production won't be kept up with the demand this year.

    Poll: Will earnings call today identify causes of Gravity non-delivery?

    I didn't get a cause of delays according to the earnings report. Just that the ramp will be on the second half of 2025. This year, the production won't be kept up with the demand (more than Air Grand Touring).

    Poll: Will earnings call today identify causes of Gravity non-delivery?

    Fast and sloppy is easy. Quality is hard and slow. It's working as planned.

    Poll: Will earnings call today identify causes of Gravity non-delivery?

    The sequence for the delivery has been adhered to as planned: 1) Insiders: Employees, family, and friends. 2) Showrooms 3) Public consumers It's been slow but as smooth as oil. Let the process work out according to its pace. There's no need to rush it.

    Gravity Release Timeline

    Agreed. To me, it's not about bug-free, but more about the acceptable level of bugs. When GM sold its first Super Cruise feature in 2017, its hands-free feature has worked since the very first day. The Air doesn't come with hands-free but the Gravity is listed as hands-free! When Cybertruck...

    Gravity Release Timeline

    Lucid's ramp is much more conservative. It announced that the first batch would go to "employees, friends and families." I assume because it expects there are bugs or missing features to be worked out first. Then the show rooms would get next. Then, finally the public consumees. Lucid has...

    Gravity Release Timeline

    Lucid said it has cash to operate well into 2026. The likelihood of going bankrupt is unlikely. Fisher and others went bankrupt because it couldn't get cash to pay the bills. That is not the same problem with Lucid. Each time Lucid needs additional cash, investors have always been willing to...

    How far past zero till you die?

    I think as long as your 12v battery is still alive, then yes, you can shift your gear. If it is also dead then no.

    Dream Drive 2????

    That is what the sales materials have confirmed with what your money can buy today. Some hope Air will become hands-free some day but that's not listed with your Air purchase. By the way, numerous companies offer hands-free without a LIDAR: GM Super Cruise drivers have been driving their cars...
