I (we?) do, but it takes more attention than the "no eyes needed" traditional stalk. In a steady rain, not a big deal, but in mixed conditions where its constantly changing, the auto setting is rubbish and it takes eyes off the road to find the right button.

💯 on the wiper selection, not well executed. My first car with "rain sense" wipers was maybe 2006 or so. It's every bit as good as it was back then, which is not very. Just like in 2006, in mixed rain they respond to the conditions 300 meters ago (or not at all) or go into full hysterics...

Looks great in coupe proportions, wow!

I try to stop myself when I associate the cost of a good and my expectation for it to work as intended. Plenty of experience with inexpensive items that are rock solid reliable and expensive items that are problematic. Expensive wine isn't always better than inexpensive wine. In other words...

My wife does a logo reset 1-2x a week (just last Saturday when I was driving). They are always related to some sort of audio issue including the HFL. '24 Air Pure built in May.

I think other CEO's and leaders have figured out it's a lot easier to move product and get rich by not being polarizing, so it is odd that Elon let's it all hang out. On the other hand, he gets to have an opinion on the world and it's a shame that a person that holds different views is...

Well that isn't very convenient!

Amazon requires some creative searching to find real quality. The site is a conduit of low quality items that market to the innate human desire to short cut and/or pay the lowest price. If someone makes a short, high-quality extension that would be sized right to minimize resistance and heat...

They don't need marketing, they need a product that more people want. The sedan market has been contracting for years making this a tough market for growth. Gravity has the potential to be organic marketing, provided that NACS is integrated/accessible, the UX is stable as granite, and the OTA...

Tesla was also my first EV experience and I give the Air higher marks in almost every regard. In my opinion the delta between the 'fanboys and haters' around here is how we react to the software/UX issues that these cars have. When viewed through the first world lens, they a minor nuisance...

Again, you're missing my point, I don't care about XM either, but they "fixed" it back on 2.3.10 and for someone that spends as much time here as you, there is no way you didn't read posts about people that DO care about XM. Marginalizing others concerns and core functionality problems as "pet...

You might be amazed by my statement because you embellished it...I never said OTA hasn't improved the car since the dawn of the Air, I said since I've owned it (6 month or so) they have barely addressed the core issues that need fixing (XM is better). It's like someone with a leaking roof that...

Thanks for that @bakerjin , I'll give that a try when my wife comes home this evening. She is the primary driver 90% of the time and she is completely fed up with these software "quirks". None of the issues are reliable, but randomly pop up and require a logo reset or just wait until the next...

Might be OK if you're retired or otherwise have a very flexible schedule, but if you have a typical 40+ hour work week that would be a no-go for me. This is not a bash on Lucid, this would apply for any car I own and I do my own maintenance.

'24 Pure with 5k miles. Frunk and trunk needed alignment but that has been the only issue (which in my opinion was a factory QC issue not a general quality issue). Service process was breeze. Which is "better" is subjective, but I think engineering and build quality is impressive.

I agree there is a limited customer base for $100k E-SUV, but I'm confident its a LOT more than 5,000 people. Look how many hideous Cybertrucks were sold just because "first" is the most important metric these days.

I live in the bay area, have a home charger, and my wife (primary Air driver) charges at work. We're 4 years into EV ownership, so not newbs and I'm NOT complaining about charging in the bay area metro. It's specifically on longer trips that it becomes a minor issue. I'm not saying its...

Oh great, then I'll make sure that Santa Maria is where I run out of electrons! :cool: I'll just lay out my experience and say that Sunday evening going north on 101 there is a LOT of competition for finite charging options. Also, going to Tahoe I drive past legions of empty Tesla chargers...

The lack of rear seat room in the S is a major factor in why we didn't upgrade to one from our 3. Fair to point out the charger network, but as others have said that will soon be mitigated. We've DEFINTELY experienced some charging pain when we go to the central coast to visit our daughter in...

Fair enough, I guess it matters how one defines performance. If someone told me "performance doesn't matter" I wouldn't dismiss the Air as a recommendation. After 3 years in a 3 Performance I too wasn't concerned with the 0-60 metric, rather range, efficiency, and good chassis dynamics moved...
