    Lucid Autonomous Driving Future

    I hate the practice of selling the future instead of the actual present, real product. I the old days, it was hard to do that with physical hardware, but now with software, they can sell the moons! For example, it's hard to sell a black and white television and say that just wait, it will...

    Lucid Autonomous Driving Future

    Tesla is being sued for selling unfulfilled Full Self Driving feature. On the sales receipt (MVPA--Motor Vehicle Purchase Agreement, and Monroney sticker), it clearly spells what the consumers buy, FSD, and the price. https://share.google/qTdeFF4HnwwYskzN5 That is not the case with Lucid...

    Lucid Autonomous Driving Future

    I don't doubt that the Air has the capability to achieve L3, but whether Lucid will make it a priority is another issue. It may be years or never due to the pressing priority of the midsize... Make no mistake that I am with you. However, we still have to live in this world and we have to deal...

    Lucid Autonomous Driving Future

    Here's Lucid Youtube presentation promising Air L3. However, a presentation of an aspiration is not the same as a contract. They can promise your car can seat 7, but the sales receipt may show only 5. You have a right to refuse to pay for 5-seater and wait for a 7-seater. What you agree to...

    My Gravity bricked after 3 weeks of ownership

    Some would have a proper tool to move a car, others just use brute force to drag your car across the cement, wear out the thread, to move your car.

    Lucid Autonomous Driving Future

    That's the problem of technology: it can become obsolete real quick and a retrofit is seldom an option: we have to buy an entire new one instead. For example, to get a decent fast charge with a 400v charger, we have to buy a whole new product, Gravity, because there's no announcement on the...

    Lucid Autonomous Driving Future

    Please show a proof from a sales receipt, contract, or Lucid's announcement... It's easy to have an expectation but that's not the same as a contract.

    Lucid Autonomous Driving Future

    Here's the announcement: https://share.google/uCgPq4sLtxZgBy2Ym L4 is intended for the mid-size in this announcement. Current buyers of Air and Gravity paid for what the specs say. The current specs do not mention L3 or L4 at all. Someone may have speculated that they paid for access to Air...

    Lucid Autonomous Driving Future

    It's doubtful Waymo would come to where I live the middle of nowhere. Thus, Lucid's announcement of its personal self driving coming to the upcoming mid-sized cars is very applicable to me.

    My Gravity bricked after 3 weeks of ownership

    Some only reserve that word for a car in a junk yard. I am more liberal: Whenever a driver wants a car to move but it refuses, then it's just as useful as a brick until its condition is changed and start moving again.

    My Gravity bricked after 3 weeks of ownership

    "So, just what does “bricked” mean? Like a brick, the term refers to an inanimate, motionless object. With regards to ICE cars and EVs, bricked means an expensive, complicated vehicle is motionless. Think of a modern ICE car without a battery. That’s bricked; better suited as a paperweight than...

    Lucid Autonomous Driving Future

    It's a luxury to pay for a human chauffeur. Thus, there's a cheaper plan with the future of self driving. I am more than 200 miles from San Francisco metropolitan in the north and more than 200 miles from Los Angeles metropolitan in the south and manual driving is lots of work for me...

    Engineering Explained. This is bad.

    I guess you don't switch profiles, especially, in the middle of a drive. The complications, slowness... are universal across all Lucid profiles. Switching profiles should be quick and simple but Lucid has over-sophisticated the process.

    'Lucid charging service disabled. Verify your payment method' erroneous message in app

    Same for me. I guess this is another robustness with a new and improved software that fixes one thing then create another. It seems to be a harmless bug but annoying and distressing because it threatens cutting off EA charging.

    OTA 2.8.16

    My handsfree works flawlessly even in stop and go highway traffic jam. So, it does indeed work at zero mph.

    Software Issues are Universal

    Software is hard even for the very experienced like Boeing who erroneously got the Starliner internal clock incorrectly in 2019 and failed to reach the space station. NASA had to come in to make make sure Boeing changed the way how the software was done.

    Engineering Explained. This is bad.

    Yours might be fine but he got a misaligned frunk to start. His car Play froze up his screens (plural) and that is not a good thing. That's why GM dropped Car Play and no longer includes it in new cars. Software is hard and sometimes keeping it simple like GM's way is a good solution.

    Engineering Explained. This is bad.

    There are beta testers who love to test even though there might be bugs. On the other hands, there are consumers who do not want to become a tester. They want a finished product that works reliably.

    Engineering Explained. This is bad.

    Lucid public relations should have recognized this dude who has more than 4.1 million subscribers and this video has been viewed more than a half million times in less than 24 hours. Make sure his car is perfect. If not, be honest and explain what went wrong because he's an engineer and would...

    Engineering Explained. This is bad.

    When Tesla first came out with Model S in 2012, I got one and it basically worked as advertised from day 1. The fob works flawlessly and there was no options for phone, cards at that time. Couldn't complain for something they didn't claim that they could sell. I didn't even know and they...
