    2026 Lucid Air Thoughts

    The cupholders don't bug me, because I just never use them. I throw a water bottle in my map pocket and call it a day. Blame the nice, comfortable, wide seats for the lack of center space. Personally, I'm okay with that tradeoff, given I am not a narrow individual. The Tidal app is a mess. I...

    Engineering Explained joining the Lucid Lemon Club

    My guess is if it could be adjusted via OTA, they would have done it by now. Lucid is very aware of the behavior, and they have said repeatedly that it's a feature, not a bug. It's possible someone over there just WANTS it this way, but I doubt it. Remember, the Air is a bit of a strange beast...

    2026 Lucid Air Thoughts

    The camera behind the steering wheel needs to be able to see your face. It’s not the best design, for sure. But once you get that, you figure out how to position the wheel such that the camera can easily see you. At that point, most of the “Look at the road” warnings go away. (Unless you are...

    Engineering Explained joining the Lucid Lemon Club

    That Arizona desert sand does wonders, I'm sure.

    Honda Prologue

    Bingo. This is what prevents me from seriously considering most other brands of EV. I just can't stomach this sort of laziness in packaging. I'll take Lucid's quirks any day over lazy design and engineering.

    Cosmos prototype

    Camouflage makes it so hard to tell the true shape of a car. Which is the point, I guess.

    Car locked with child inside and would not unlock

    Yes, @Leftlane. Even I didn't know about the pushing the handles thing until a few months into ownership. And I'm a total nerd for this car. It's generally good practice here on the forum to double check for understanding (without being condescending of course) before assuming the car is at...

    Engineering Explained joining the Lucid Lemon Club

    I don't know if it's a model year thing so much as a luck of the draw type thing. The Air hasn't changed that much between model years. So even if they have generally gotten better at building over time, it's possible the car is just harder than the average car to assemble correctly, and thus...

    Car locked with child inside and would not unlock

    I agree with you about a grace period. There's no reason the car should ever lock a few seconds after it detected a valid user's phone, or if a fob double click just happened. Or if you just stopped driving and opened and closed the driver's door, even. There's almost no scenario when the user...

    Air Version 2.9.0

    Keeping the Sapphire brand, as Lucid's AMG, Audi's RS, BMW M, etc. makes perfect sense. So long as they offer it in colors other than blue, I'd be good with that. If you're listening Lucid, that's two sales right there. Even if we're talking Air GT pricing here.

    Help me understand: Engineering Explained Hold issue

    I had the car spontaneously change its hold setting once. No idea how it happened. Once I figured it out, I changed it back. Never happened again. So it does happen. Legitimate software bug. Maybe some combination of tapping brakes triggers it? Maybe something else triggers it? Who knows? I...

    Air Version 2.9.0

    I don't know what Lucid has in store for the future of the Air. I will repeat: I have no inside information on this matter. I know what I'd like to see. And I know what would be smart from a business perspective. And those two things don't match. What I'd love to see is a fully refreshed...

    Windshield washer spray

    I use my washers every day on my Air, and they work great. I’d suggest having that checked out by service when you can. That’s definitely not normal.

    Help me understand: Engineering Explained Hold issue

    Yes. That’s how I read that, too. You can only change the profile setting when the car is in park. And that will save to profile. The disengaging with the brake is only supposed to be temporary.

    Air Version 2.9.0

    Apply this to literally every update Lucid has ever released. Some people report it fixes things the update didn’t even address. Some people swear it breaks things the update didn’t even address. Some people report nothing feels any different. Rinse and repeat. The Air is a quirky piece...

    Air Transition to UX3, to be or not to be!

    They can’t force you to get the upgraded chip to keep your warranty. So long as you continue to install whatever big fix updates for the v1 chip, your warranty will be fine.

    Car locked with child inside and would not unlock

    It's an $80k+ car. Most software programmers (who live in the hyper-expensive Bay Area) can't afford to spend that much on a vehicle. Even with an employee discount. Midsize will help in this regard. The execs all drive multiple Lucids. The thing you have to remember is this problem REALLY...

    Dangerous Issue Using Dream Drive Pro

    This is a good time to remind folks that Dream Drive Pro is a driver assist, not a driver replacement. You get near a big truck, you be ready to take over at a millisecond's notice. Whenever I get into a sticky situation like that, I disengage, get myself into a safer space, then re-engage...

    Air Transition to UX3, to be or not to be!

    Midsize will ship with UX 4.0, which is a whole new layout and system. The single screen requires significant rethinking of the user experience layer. The fundamental stuff under the hood, of course, can remain the same. ADAS, all the driver functions, backup cameras, the media apps themselves...
