"Out of Spec Dave" (father of Kyle Conner of "Out of Spec Studios") posted a video tour of the EVs at the recent New York Auto Show. He begins discussing Lucid at 1:04:00 and says the lines to test drive an Air were the longest he had ever seen at the show. But . . . there was no Gravity at...

"Top Gear" seems to have joined the ranks of those serious auto reviewers who really get what Lucid is doing and its potential place in the EV universe: https://www.topgear.com/car-news/big-reads/inside-lucid-behind-scenes-teslas-worst-nightmare

A friend called me yesterday on the way home from a Lexus dealership where he had gone to get his Lexus washed. In the showroom he saw a used Lexus RZ450e with 891 miles on it. The MSRP was around $64,000, but the dealer was asking $46,000 for it "as is". He wanted to know what I thought of...

I continue to be amazed by how overtly biased many reviewers are against Lucid in favor of Tesla. In the video below the reviewer undertook to compare the rear seat room of the Lucid Air to that of the Tesla Model S. To do so, he ran the front seat of the Lucid all the way back. But in the...

I am definitely in the camp that absolutely loves the Air, probably because I have a long history as an early adopter of cars and things technical. But I can't say that I disagree with Motor Trend's conclusions about the Air --- at least the earlier ones...

The Lucid host at the Geneva Auto Show said the Air Pure RWD has 16 battery modules, making it the lightest vehicle in the line-up. I thought there were only three battery packs in current Lucids: two with 22 modules (118 and 112 kWh) and one with 18 modules (92 kWh)? The comment is at 3:03...

When I was drying the Air at the carwash this morning, an older gentleman pulled up next to me in an Audi A5 cabriolet. He was full of questions about the car but, as has happened before, seemed oddly focused on the Zenith Red color. However, he also wanted to look in the trunk, frunk, and...

Sandy Munro, a popular video host of technology teardowns and reviews of auto products, said in a recent interview that Lucid will probably be dead by year end and that the Gravity will do nothing to fend of its demise. This is the same man who earlier has said that Lucid is the first company...

"Engineering Explained" recently posted a very good overview of how to increase the service life of your EV battery pack:

Doug DeMuro just reviewed the new BMW i5 EV. The car is 3.3" longer than a Lucid Air (and longer than a Bangle-Butt-era BMW 7 Series). Take a look at the gargantuan front end of this car which, by the way, is filled with hardware instead of storage space: Then take a look at the rear...

Lucid announced a deal over a year ago to source Gravity batteries from Panasonic: https://www.reuters.com/technology/panasonic-agrees-supply-ev-batteries-lucid-group-2022-12-13/ Panasonic has licensed silicone technology for a new line of batteries promising 20% more energy density and...

I've recently noticed that the accent lighting on the driver door panel of our car is considerably dimmer than the lighting on the front passenger door panel. I'm not sure if this has always been the case (maybe to reduce driver distraction?) and I'm just now noticing it, or whether something...

There is a profusion of reports on Gravity features, some from authoritative sources but much based purely on speculation. Perhaps we can use this thread to list the features that have been identified by authoritative sources? By that, I mean by people speaking officially on behalf of Lucid or...

I've been looking forward to the Gravity reveal but with only a small fraction of the obsession that consumed me while awaiting the Air reveal several years ago. After living almost two years with an Air Dream Performance and weathering the UX 1.0 days and some early production woes, I remain...

On July 25 our car went to a Service Center to have all the cameras replaced due to a system fault. While there, a sun visor fell off, requiring the replacement of the windshield, and the driver door handle failed to present, requiring a new opening mechanism. Then they noticed a problem with...
