    Lucid’s financial viability

    Precisely on point. The fact that my 2023 Lucid is still, I believe, in a technologically leading position among domestic EVs available is significant. To me Lucid will continually improve around enduring design features and will optimize driving dynamics with newer models, much like what...

    Lucid’s financial viability

    I plan to keep my AGT for a long time and am not surprised at the resale values. Yes, our Lucid's have suffered greater than normal depreciation for high end cars. Will the Saudi PIF withdraw and book a loss for what is to them a small investment that surely was viewed as a long term...

    How hot are your heated seats?

    I have lived with the heated seats for three winters with temperatures often below freezing and the seats work fine for me. The seats and steering wheel can get a bit too hot so I turn them off or down to the lowest setting for the seats. I especially like the heated seats when headed to my...

    Adaptive cruise/hands free not working

    Congratulations on your AGT. Amazing car. 2.7 miles/kWh is probably less than what you will get on the same drive in warmer weather. I got 3.4 on an 1800 mile cross country trip in mid-30 degree weather on winter compound tires and the elevation change was gradual from about sea level in New...

    Lucid Earth (midsize crossover): ready by summer 2027?

    Well said. Unfortunately, the political aspect of electric generation and EV adoption is extreme now. This will prolong adoption and development of EVs and supporting infrastructure but this is not news and progress is inevitable IMO. We are fortunate to have been on the Lucid journey with...

    OTA 2.8.16

    Thanks but I always use kWh used and actual miles driven so do not depend entirely on the car's calculation, although they have always been very close.

    OTA 2.8.16

    Not sure but I installed 2.8.27 last week and did not know that there was a problem with the previous OTA.

    OTA 2.8.16

    As I noted a few days ago, my efficiency has declined significantly since the latest OTA. I have been through three winters with freezing temperatures but have not seen sub 2 mi/kWh. I seem to be the only one to notice a change. Just did a 60 mile interstate drive at 70 mph in 55 degree weather...

    Winter driving

    My suggestion, despite your recent experience is to set regen on low of off in slippery conditions. The fact is that driving slower is much safer as is maintaining F-R and side to side balance. If you do skid sideways do nothing abrupt like hard steering or breaking hard. If you do not have...

    Rear seat dog protector

    My dog is 71 pounds and 28” at his withers and no problems with the soft Orvis hammock.

    2.8.17 update

    Thank you. Why do you think that they will redesign the Air's computer system? I have noticed little tangible difference in functionality for the latest OTAs. In fact the recent one seems to have degraded efficiency, surround view and connection with CarPlay' connection for Sirius. Nothing...

    Rear seat dog protector

    I've used an Orvis hammock for three years in my AGT with no problems. Easy to wash.

    OTA 2.8.16

    A bit early to tell after recent OTA but initially my efficiency has fallen off a cliff. Certainly a bit colder here like 40 degrees or so and no interstate drives, but it has gotten my attention like never before over three winters. Range for short trips in same weather conditions was in the...

    2.8.17 update

    It seems slightly faster loading but that’s all I have noted so far.

    OTA 2.8.16

    It has always worked for me from high speed to stop and go although I do get the red warning to take control when I always have my hands on the wheel at 3 and 9, which is annoying. The feature makes it easy to deal with long backups on the interstates.

    Bob Lutz and the Lucid Air

    Thanks for posting. Exceptional exposition on the industry. Bob Lutz has more credibility than anyone among those who follow the industry. His opinion of the Air is very encouraging but from a marketing perspective his reputation and acumen are unlikely to resonate with the public, which is a...

    OTA 2.8.16

    Thanks for your input. 1) Curb rash alert malfunctions in daylight frequently. I am surprised when it works, but as mentioned I do not depend on it. 2) Front and rear cameras function when the 360 view malfunctions but resets after vehicle exit. Annoying but it happens only occasionally, as do...

    OTA 2.8.16

    I appreciate the incremental OTAs and my AGT is a delight, but note that my curb rash assist function is inoperative well over half the time even in dry weather with a clean car. While I do not depend on it is nice when it works. Same with the overhead view which works about 95+% of the time but...

    Motortrend | Lucid Gravity vs. Cadillac and Volvo for EV SUV Supremacy: Only One Is Truly Ready for Prime Time

    All true! To me the driving pleasure of the AGT surpasses that of the recent model Porsche 911 Turbo S and Panamera GTS, and that is saying a lot. Of course, that is with a far different visceral experience than the Porsches deliver, but the compensating attributes of the AGT more than make up...

    Motortrend | Lucid Gravity vs. Cadillac and Volvo for EV SUV Supremacy: Only One Is Truly Ready for Prime Time

    No surprise at the critique and comparison if range is of no concern. It is easy to find fault with anything, but the entry problem is not easy to excuse. I do not own a Gravity nor have I driven one so have to pass on Gravity specific evaluation. For those of us early AGT adopters who have...
