    Air Version 2.9.0

    So, long-suffering (okay suffering is a bit strong) Pure owner here. Does anyone know if 2.9.x is going to show up for us after the false start last weekend? I would love to have Google search results in the NAV...

    If not an Air, which EV would you buy?

    When my lease comes to an end, I am going to look seriously at: 1. Volvo EX60 2. BMW Neue Klasse i3 3. Tesla Model 3 (depending on, well, "factors" related to Tesla's management and tech) Basically, it needs to have similar range to the Air, and similar power - which shouldn't be too hard, I...

    Scout delayed

    I must be weird, but the whole EREV thing leave me cold. I don't want a gas engine anywhere near my electric vehicle. This isn't an environmental thing either, it's a simplicity thing. It just feels like a crazy kludge to bolt a gas generator to an electric powertrain just in case you can't...

    Scout delayed

    As much as I want to see Lucid improve and execute better than they have at times, I think the last year has shown just how hard it is to even get an EV to market, much less do it well and deliver it with specifications that are many years behind the times.

    500KW Tesla Supercharger

    It will be great to see these become more common... I'm glad to have supercharger access, but I don't see myself doing much with it except when nothing else is available until I can get more than 50KW...

    Lease now or wait?

    It seems like leases sometimes fall a little lower than this, or have in the past, but that might have been shaped by the EV credit among other things. If you can wait until the summer, there is a chance (it happened last year at least) of some really good deals on the 2026 model year as the...

    R2 envy? When will Lucid start to hype its mid size?

    I'll probably cross shop the R2 when my Air lease is out in a couple of years. Honestly, I'm excited about where it looks like we will be in a year or two here. Lucid Midsized, R2, Mercedes CLA, Volvo EX60, iX3... these are a lot of interesting options, in many cases with better architectures...

    Anyone else encounter a strange tear in seat upholstery?

    Yeah, I just noticed yesterday that the purelux on my driver's seat is cracked again. I had to get it replaced once already, after 8 months of ownership. This time, we seem to have lasted 5 months. This is a problem when I think about buying out the lease. I am leaning that way, but knowing...

    A good way to check battery health?

    Yeah, via the API my 25 Pure is at 95 percent battery health with 11k miles and just over 80KwH of capacity at full charge. But I think it was at 96-97 percent at most on delivery. I would be curious to know a bit more about the dynamics of this. i.e. why doesn't every pack start at 100...

    Tesla discontinues lane centering from Autopilot: TechCrunch

    Yeah, more than I would pay... I'm definitely toward the "cheaper" end of the new electric car market, particularly for Lucid, but $99, even for a good feature, would meaningfully add to my monthly transportation expenses. I am also impressed with what FSD can do, but I'm horrified by its...

    What is the name of your Lucid?

    "Stephen" I picked him up on St. Stephen's Day...

    picky picky picky

    Yeah, Frunk is great for groceries, plus, when I pull into the garage, it's easier to get them into the house. I do agree it's weird that you get the frunk on that panel and the trunk on the other one... but it works for me ;)... also, those door detents... I mean, what were they thinking?

    Why Donut labs solid state battery could be real

    My guess is you (and all of us) are fairly safe on that front. It is kind of like we see with the fact that on paper CCS1 has basically been superseded by NACS. Technically the war is over and NACS won. It is the dominant standard and your Gravity has it, yeah! In real life, CCS1 will...

    New Midsize Pic and Update

    You could well be right, but I have to admit I bought a car with Dream DrivePremium last year because I didn’t expect Lucid to deliver the Dream Drive Pro hands-free driving they did in fact deliver last fall. Had I only been more trusting ;)

    Distorted rear window view

    This seems more pronounced in earlier vehicles. I definitely noticed it as worse in 22-23 loaners compared to my 2025, but yeah it isn't all the way gone.

    Out of Spec 3 Row EV race - Lucid Gravity driven by Kyle

    I mean the takeaway is fairly obvious to me. Gravity is fastest, but if you are just driving without trying to maximize everything there are two-or-three vehicles that all do pretty well to (no, not you, iD Buzz!). I mean, to me it feels like the difference between going the speed limit or...

    The Changing EV Climate in the U.S.

    I just keep giving people rides in my Lucid whenever they ask about my experience. I did that again yesterday. It's amazing how quickly experiencing for themselves how much quieter, smoother, and more powerful an EV is quiets a lot of things "they have heard." On the other hand. I was on a...
