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...

While I understand Lucid's desire to make a single model Pure to get things rolling, it annoys the heck out of me for it to choose the color. I can abide it stuffing DreamDrive Pro down my throat, but insisting on the new blue color? Yes, I know Henry Ford followed the same trajectory with his...

Discussed the lack of lane keep/centering with my SA after yesterday's announcement confirming the lack of lane keeping/centering on the Air Pure with standard DreamDrive. I pointed out that most $20K cars now offer this. He said I'm not the first to bring this up and it has been escalated...

Perhaps this is the wrong thread to discuss parts delays, but Lucid and Tesla are not outliers. We broke the passenger side mirror housing of our 2020 Honda Insight. It took Honda, a mature car company, three months to send a replacement. While I'm at it, it is distressing to see this back and...

While I realize that "me too-ism" in forums can be annoying, I have to concur with HariK: "For now only 3 things are important. Meet the target specs, execute, execute. Not new models." The primary responsibility of Lucid should be to perfect its current line-up so that no buyer experiences...

Quick question: Is there a NON-adaptive cruise control? The old-fashioned variety where you simply set the speed and the car maintains that until you decide otherwise?

I work for a radio station (WFMT, Chicago) and when XM first launched it carried some of our programming, including my show. Thus, I was one of the first to receive an XM receiver for my car. The receiver was just fine, but the antenna was about a 1-inch square block on the interior rear deck...

I chose Zenith red, although I would accept the Cosmos silver as second. But I concur that British Racing Green would be very desirable! I really liked the color of the DE and would have paid a couple of grand extra on my Pure to get that color.

I agree with all the posts in this thread. I'm past 70 and the Pure will be my first major indulgence. I never had a "midlife crisis." No red sports car! So I tell my friends I'm just having my midlife crisis 30 years late by buying a Lucid. I've always owned plain vanilla cars, except for my...
