That is correct. Regardless of which chip you’re running on, you have 30 days to install any updates or your warranty may be voided at Lucid’s sole discretion. But there is no requirement to upgrade chips.

The Air routinely makes the list of best EV’s in major publications and review sites. It’s frequently cited as best in its class. And many owners, myself included, consider it among the best cars we’ve ever owned. But those are also just opinions. They can co-exist in a world where others...

Lucid cannot afford to release this software before it’s ready. They simply have too many issues that are overwhelming the engineering and service teams. The dilemma is balancing customers requests for improvements while ensuring they’re releasing trouble free software. You only get so many...

There are several articles and videos, including one by everyone’s favorite You Tuber, describing what UX 3.0 will offer and improve upon. Door behavior stands out as a notable improvement. I’d recommend seeking out that information to decide if the upgrade is important to you. How well will...

I have no problem whatsoever with his videos, opinions, and conclusions. I’m merely pointing out that he makes a living off of amplifying his experiences. It’s up to the viewer to decide how reflective that is of their individual ownership experience. At the end of the day it’s just a car...

I’m not saying that his issues aren’t real or unimportant. But he’s a content creator on You Tube. He makes money off of sharing his experiences through content that drives subscriptions and ad revenue. His livelihood depends on driving engagement through positive and negative experiences...

The rated difference between the 19” and 20” is 47 miles per 100% charge. Real world could be slightly different but probably not materially. So based on your driving you could do the math to determine the break even point.

When it becomes more about the person than the car, my best advice is to ignore the person.

When I bought my AGT I knew that I wouldn’t get the claimed 510 miles of range. But I also knew that I could go further than any other EV on the road and that’s what sold me. And I really can't complain about getting 400 miles on a 100% charge since I never drive that far without a break anyway.

I’m getting up to 460 miles (4.1 m/kw) @ 100% on 19” wheels on my 2023 AGT. Obviously range will vary based on a number of factors with weather, speed, and elevation being the biggest. On that basis I average closer to 3.5 m/kw but it still puts me close to 400 miles in real world miles.

Agreed. And providing these types of services uses up resources that could be deployed to clearing up the service backlog. But from Lucid’s perspective it probably helps keep the lights on as they spend lots of time doing warranty work that doesn’t generate revenue.

Offered, not required.

Apple doesn’t want you to service your iPhone. It’s a planned obsolescence business model. Although they will sell you Apple Care which is nothing more than insurance.

Well I don’t do private party transactions but that’s just me. I’m not questioning your decision to buy the car. Only you can decide if you’re satisfied with what you paid and the car you now own. You could have also bought a CPO from Lucid. There’s obviously an increased cost in going that...

That’s why vetting the owner is just as important as vetting the car. You are now standing in the shoes of that prior owner. And to the extent they didn’t follow the warranty requirements the consequences will now transfer to you.

The best way to improve Lucid service is accomplished by improving the manufacturing process. My service issues, other than the scheduled maintenance, have been to correct fit and finish problems from the factory (I.e., loose trim, squeaks/rattles, wind noise). And many of the comments I’ve...

The irony in all of this is that you've pointed out the former owners age as being noteworthy. And yeah, it's not surprising to me that someone that age wouldn't realize that software updates are a critical part of the ownership experience particularly if they weren't driving the car much...

A car this technologically advanced, owned and rarely driven by an 83 year-old man, should have been your first red flag. And confirming which version of software the vehicle is operating on takes seconds. This is an ownership failure, not a Lucid one.

It's the owners responsibility to maintain their software. It's explicitly required by the warranty. And the car and/or app will alert you to software status and required updates. If there's an argument to be made that software updates were never offered that argument belongs to the original...

It sounds like the TCU issue is a direct result of neglect by the prior owner. As unfortunate as that is, it's an obligation that was ignored by that owner. I also purchased my Air GT used and one of my key stipulations was ensuring that all software was up to date. Given how dependent these...
