For the tracker: I'm the one who reserved September 29, 2021. I confirmed August 11, 2022, finalized November 29, 2022. State: Illinois

All I ask is basic communication. Nagging my DA is not my style, and frankly, he doesn't respond when I do. I don't expect Peter R. to reply to a letter. It's best that he just run the company. Although once I complained to United Airlines and the CEO personally responded. Of course, that was...

Nobody has mentioned a very important range factor: weight, beyond that of the car. My Honda Accord came without a spare tire. I bought a compact spare for it and mileage decreased by .5 mpg. With the jack it was pretty heavy. One of the reasons Honda does not supply a spare is not only does it...

Saw a Lucid service van in Hinsdale last Saturday, but not the car being serviced.

Don't forget to keep tires inflated to a bit above specification. In cold weather you lose 1 pound pressure for every ten degrees of temperature decrease. I just checked the tires on my Accord, which were last checked a couple of weeks ago when the temperature was 45. They are all down...

I attempted to arrange a test drive at the Oakbrook (IL) studio last Saturday, one of the rare days I'm in the Chicago area. I live 150 miles away. Things became confused and it did not happen. Then I received an email on Tuesday saying that one of their Sales Advisors would drive the demo car...

No, Lucids are not catching fire. I merely posted the Ars Technica link to illustrate several major auto companies also have problems. Thus, Lucid is not some outlier. Please don't take the post out of context. In fact, when Chevy Bolts started going up in flames, GM replaced the batteries in...

As many of you have noted, major legacy company also have significant issues: https://arstechnica.com/cars/2022/12/subaru-warns-ascent-owners-to-park-outside-due-to-fire-risk/

I have a lot of experience with Japanese corporations as an audio/video journalist, having toured every major Japanese electronics manufacturer 1980-2000. While I can't promise this correlates to battery production, Panasonic exhibited the greatest attention to quality control and reliability of...

My condolences to Cosmo Cruz, what a horrifying situation. I had that happen with my original Mazda RX2 in 1976 in the middle of the Dan Ryan Expressway in Chicago. Luckily, the brakes did not lock and I was just able to coast to the shoulder. We all love the Lucid Air (or will love it). I'm...

I'm sure this has been discussed here, but can't find the exact thread. I visited the Lucid website this morning and logged in. To my astonishment, I discovered my Lucid Air Pure is slated for production and I had been assigned a delivery advisor. I'm not sure why I discovered this on the...

Agreed, comparing Bolt to Lucid is apples and oranges. However, the biggest difference between the Bolt and Lucid is not performance. You can walk into a Chevy dealer today and buy a Bolt. You even can choose your color. On the second topic, including an "extended range" (read: econo) mode on...

I guess this falls under "general discussion." I realize there's little patience on the forum for naysayers. I believe that the Lucid Air (no matter which model) is an incredible car. Otherwise, I would not still be waiting to receive one after 16 months. However, I am concerned about the...

I've been enjoying reading this forum for about seven months. I appreciate the wisdom and the overall friendly tone of the members, and especially the aid and competence of the moderators. Many of you enjoy cars as a passion and some of you can afford to do so. Others on this forum have been...

Anyone here have experience with an Autel charger? It seems to offer much for the money.

Lucid keeps my head spinning. Last week my SA was jubilant, telling me it was likely that I would receive my Pure before the end of the year if I changed to the fixed initial configuration (metallic blue, DD Pro. etc.). Today he told me there were a very limited number of initial Pures and they...

I received the emailed finalization request for my Pure today. I've decided after reading the posts here to spend the $9K on the DreamDrive Pro. The only question is if I want any shot at obtaining the car by December 31 I have to go with the new blue color, versus the red I prefer. I asked my...

Actually, in most cars on the road, lane centering is accomplished with a camera. If the car can't see the lane markings, the auto-lane centering stops working. Even the base DreamDrive includes sufficient camera(s).

Today's Lucid email about receiving a Pure in December was much ado about nothing. I spoke with my very candid sales associate. He said that this first small batch of Lucid Air Pures is a very limited production run and that only the very early reservation holders (he didn't say what the cut off...
