It's now a very different service world from early days at Lucid. We got our first Lucid in December 2021, and I was astonished at the promptness of getting parts and service. The mobile tech network, in particular, was phenomenal . . . much like Tesla's was when I bought our first Tesla in...

I almost wish the car never had massage seats. It’s easier to sell a car that never had the feature than to have to disclose a failed feature to a buyer, as it will just feed concerns about reliability. I also wish I had not asked the price to repair. If a buyer were to ask, now that I know...

I’ve been asking Lucid about an extended warranty since I first bought the car in late 2021. The answer, even as late as last week, has always been, “we’re looking at it”. And I just got the estimate today to deal with the failed massage function in the driver seat which began just a couple of...

I had decided not to do the chip upgrade on our 2022 Air, but I've become so pleased with the UX 3.0 in our Gravities (now that most of the software bugs have finally been rooted out) that I'm now thinking I'll proceed to upgrade the Air. But I wonder . . . will it fix the intermittent failure...

Maybe, but just how expensive are they there? We were walking past quite a few pricey studios and showrooms: Prada, Balenciaga, Burberry, Tiffany, Cartier, Hermes, Gucci, Brunello Cucinelli, Rolls, Bentley, Ferrari, et al. Beautiful city, by the way.

Yep, we saw three Rivian's, too -- 2 R1S and 1 R1T. Forgot to mention them.

We just spent three days in Vancouver and saw the place crawling with Teslas, mostly Model 3's. We would often count 10 or more in a single block of downtown traffic. Also saw a few Ioniq 5's, several Mustang Mach-E's, a couple of MB EQS'd, and a couple of VW ID.4's. But not a Lucid in sight...

Rawlinson still got some amazing handling out of the Lucids. There is a bit of an upside with battery weight — it gets the center of gravity very low in the car. I traded an Audi R8 V10 for our first Tesla back in 2015. The Audi went to extraordinary lengths to keep the center of gravity low...

Oh, wow? Me, too. Although, having totaled two Lucids, I can’t help noticing there’s not much of a frontal crush zone.

The means for measuring knee been angles in a car seat are specified by engineering standards contained in SAE J1100 and J826 which specify the position of the feet for such measurements. Thus bend angles can be compared consistently across cars. (I got both the 95.2º bend angle and the 3.15”...

The foreward legroom in a Lucid Air is extraordinary, especially for a car of its relatively modest size. (An Air is actually a smidge smaller than the far more cramped Porsche Taycan and generally aligns with the mid-size German sedans such as the E-class MB and the 5 series BMW although its...

The height of the floorboard differs by 3.15” between the larger and smaller battery pack. If you can’t try out both versions back to back, try an experiment. Start by finding a low seat (the rear seat cushions are low in the Air) and then put a little over 3” of books under your feet. See...

We’ve had our Air Dream P for over four and a half years now and still love to drive it. But anytime we take adult rear-seat passengers we use one of our two Gravity Dream Editions. Our Air certainly outclassed our 2021 Model S Plaid in terms of rear seat room. With the drivers seat of both...

As a heavy investor in Lucid, I share the stock price pain. However, I remain grateful that Lucid launched under the hand of Peter Rawlinson. I do not believe any other player in the automotive world could have brought a product to market that moved so many needles -- efficiency, range...

Unlike the Air Dream Performance, which used both a unique battery pack and a unique rear motor with exotic metallurgy, the Gravity uses pretty much standard Lucid power gear. It uses the same battery pack as the GT with the main difference in the models being the Dream's use of the larger GT...

I do wish Lucid offered a wider choice of colors, and I, too, was hoping for a Lunar Titanium Gravity after seeing one in the showroom. However, we have a Zenith Red Air, Aurora Green and Stellar White Gravities, and had an Abyss Black Gravity that I sadly wrecked. Every one looks pretty darn...

So, it seems Lucid is continuing production of the Gravity Dream Edition (with a few minor option changes) under the "GT-S" moniker. This is analogous to what they did with the Air. After Dream Edition production ceased, they produced a GT Performance version for about a year. However, that...

That would help, too. I change suspension height and drive mode far more often than I open the glovebox, a feature assigned to one of the buttons. And I'm usually stopped when going into the glovebox, making it easier and safer to access its button on the Pilot Screen.

Make no mistake, the Gravity UX/UI is a significant step-up from the Air's quite decent set up in terms of screen layout and usability. However, there are three areas in which I find the Air's UI considerably better. 1. Font Size -- Some of the fonts in the Air are larger and therefore more...

Interesting. The passenger seat massager has been used considerably more.
