    Coefficient of Drag for Touring & Pure..... What does this mean?

    It's still an indicator of aerodynamic efficiency and one of the few factors an engineer can control. My only point was to be careful in saying the Lucid has less drag than Brand X. Unless they both have the same frontal area, that may or may not be true. Pete

    Coefficient of Drag for Touring & Pure..... What does this mean?

    Bear in mind that in determining the total drag of an object the coefficient of drag (CD) is only part of the formula. Total drag requires, among other factors, accounting for the frontal area as well. A Formula 1 car has a CD around .7 but will have much less total drag than a Lucid Air! In...

    Metal vs Glass roof

    The external metal would be thinner than glass, but there is most likely some webbing stiffener framework, an interior shell of some sort, and a headliner. It could total to be about an inch thick. Lucid could have made the roof "taller" by an inch to compensate? Pete

    Lucid super thin paint, problem?

    I've seen the video and heard the comments but believe me this has nothing to do with the quality of the coating system. I worked in the coatings industry for 38 years. Some of the highest quality coating systems available are very thin films. There is a huge amount of chemistry that dictates...

    License Plate

    I have my custom license plate now. Had to mount it on my Lexus. It sure would look better on my Lucid if it ever comes in! Pete

    Notification or warning sounds while driving?

    I had that issue on my test drive. My host told me it was the distracted driver feature and happens a lot with new drivers of the car. As a test driver, I was looking at the dash and console too often checking out all the features. The system wanted me focused on looking out the windshield at...

    Woody - I like to hear about your car and experience. Here are a few questions: When did you first reserve? When was it delivered? Did it come from the Chicago area? What colors? Any issues?

    Woody. Great to hear from someone else in the area! I have a reservation for a Touring so I’m still waiting. My reservation went in Nov of 21. I’ll likely go with the red with Mojave interior. Just took a trip to Oakbrook about 3 weeks ago to do a test drive. I was mostly sold in advance but it...
