Here is why I think it is important that Lucid spells out exactly which customer-facing bugs have been fixed in each OTA's release notes. Some months ago I found that about half the time, sending a destination from Google Maps to my car resulted in the car navigating to the town center rather...

Same opinion as Peter Rawlinson: https://insideevs.com/news/749756/ford-large-ev-trucks-have-unresolvable-problems/

Washington state may soon allow direct Lucid sales (and Rivian) https://www.geekwire.com/2025/tesla-could-lose-its-big-ev-sales-advantage-in-washington-state-if-lawmakers-pass-new-rules/

It looks like Honda is serious about ramping up EV production in the USA. I hope the productions models share overall styling with the prototypes we've seen: https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1145651_honda-s-radical-new-evs-might-help-it-make-better-accords

A little more info on the Jeep Wagoneer S EV coming this year. It doesn't look very competitive compared to Gravity, but is less expensive and will have its fans: https://arstechnica.com/cars/2025/01/jeeps-first-battery-ev-is-not-what-we-expected-the-2024-wagoneer-s/

Once all possible software features have been added, and all other bugs quashed, I hope Lucid can find a little time to fix my own OCD-triggering botheration: When you leave your key at home and need to enter your 5-digit PIN to drive, and then press the first digit, the whole number grid shifts...

A telling EV winter range test in Norway. Some cars came very close to their rated range, others fell far short: https://insideevs.com/news/747548/ev-winter-range-test-norway-2025/

Out of Spec may be giving a rundown on Gravity vs Escalade:

Has anyone tried Lucid's snow socks? I'm thinking of taking the Air to Yosemite in Feb, if the weather is clear, to see the Firefall.

Hyundai / Kia / Genesis vehicles are joining other automakers in switching to AAOS/GAS with native Google Maps, etc. "Soon, these vehicles will come equipped with the latest Google Maps Platform, giving drivers access to information about 250 million places worldwide....Google makes more than...

Does anyone have an update on progress at Lucid's new San Jose service location? It should offload much of Millbrae's burden.

Trying to decide between Purluxe (Yosemite) and leather (Ojai) for a potential Aurora Green Gravity purchase. Now that both Purluxe and Leather have been shipping for a couple years in the Air, I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience that made them glad they had the one they chose, or...

There are several specific things I'd like to understand about Gravity that should eventually be on Lucid's Gravity configurator website. Of course, I have many other more nebulous questions, like when could I get one, what state will the software be in, etc. But these won't be answerable by...

I thought some of Eric Bach's comments were very interesting: https://insideevs.com/news/744400/xiaomi-su7-lucid-chief-engineer/

It seems that Hey Lucid may be powered by Soundhound AI: https://www.soundhound.com/newsroom/press-releases/soundhound-ai-spotlights-first-of-its-kind-voice-ai-for-automotive-at-ces/

Through a happy coincidence my wife and I were able to see Gravity in both Lunar Titanium/Platinum and Aurora Green/Stealth in one day, at the Millbrae and HQ studios. We saw the Titanium first and thought it looked nice. 20 minutes later, we saw the Aurora Green and realized it is something...

Kris Rifa did a limited, but likely good-enough, cold winter range test (-5C/20F) on Porsche's Macan 4 EV, Audi's sister car the Q6 etron, and the much larger Polestar 3 dual motor. TLDW: The Polestar 3 had the highest computed range by a small margin (360km), with the Audi showing a similar...

On a recent drive, I realized that I'd prefer something midway between the old Surreal Sound Pro and the new. I noticed unwelcome booming on a tight jazz vocal track. Turned down the bass a bit but didn't help. Never had that issue before. IMO the last OTA update went too far on boosting the...

It isn't easy being a mainstream auto manufacturer, either: https://www.motor1.com/news/742467/nissan-12-to-14-months-left-to-survive/

I've had a chance to try out the new "Hey Lucid" voice input for navigation destinations in the last couple days. It hasn't gone well, and it's not easy to tell when it has gone astray. Saying "Hey Lucid, navigate to Back a Yard in Campbell" set the destination correctly twice out of six tries...
