    Wind noise

    FWIW, I finally had a chance to drive a GT in Germany and it was easy to compare the noise levels with the BMW IX. First off, BMW does a great job insulating their cars. I noticed the Lucid having a pronounced motor whine at low speeds while the BMW is silent. Both cars have similar window seals...

    Wind noise

    Will try. Plenty of experience in driving max speeds in Germany whenever traffic allowed for it. There is something very enjoyable going 160mph without having to fear for your license ;)

    Wind noise

    Am a little concerned with the wind noise discussion as we will drive the car typically at higher speeds (100mph+) in Germany. Haven't gotten the car yet. The BMW IX is really quiet across all speeds. Had 2 different wheel sizes and the car is actually better with 22" wheels (Vredestein M&S)...

    Do you think Lucid will make cheap cars?

    I agree that this reads more like ChatGPT. The issue to me is that you get the feel of a Bot post...

    Do you think Lucid will make cheap cars?

    The Model 3 started with $66k in 2018 so the current model is not only a bargain but also a great car for the money. Lots of things not to like (no stalks, no instrument cluster, still spartan) but the high volume allowed for software/hardware enhancements over time. The Lucid is clearly in a...

    Air Touring vs Mercedes EQS450 4matic

    Thanks for your impressions. I wonder if there is an issue with the particular EQS you had. These cars, while not good looking IMO have shown to be very quiet. Car & Driver measured the EQS450 at 70 mph at only 64 decibels.

    Lucid Air or BMW i5

    Again, have and had. The matchup against the M8 and Lucid GT certainly had the BMW win. As far as size, a Honda Civic now much larger than the early bigger Accord models; its just the way this goes for virtually all manufacturers. All true with Porsche but they are a niche manufacturer unlike...

    Lucid Air or BMW i5

    BMW's have/had some of the best drive dynamics in cars that I know. Auto journalists kept on asking what happened to the company over the years as their cars got heavier, more electronically complex all while loosing their feel of the road but I guess they just listened to their customers and...

    Headlight question

    I think these are misplaced concerns. This wouldn't even have an impact on the cars or component warranty. Nor could I imagine a litigation scenario. People blind me regularly because they forget to turn off their manual high-beams in time. In case of an accident, sadly the person at fault...

    Headlight question

    I couldn't imagine. Why would there be? It's simply managing the lighting better and reducing any blinding of oncoming traffic and cars in front of you. You are also not hacking the car, you are simply turning on options already build into the car. Lots of friends, even conservative ones...

    Headlight question

    Don't expect this to happen as the new US regulations don't match the rest of the world. But the i4 can be coded to enable the features, usually referred to as anti-dazzle. You can find pros on Bimmerpost that can code this for you for you can get the Bimmer Utility and do it yourself although...

    Headlight question

    I revisited many headlight related posts (although older ones) and it's clear that they are not matrix headlights. Given that there is such a low number of European deliveries ultimately I am curious of how the headlights stack up to European competitors especially when running at higher speeds...

    Headlight question

    I have looked at various threads but am going getting an d exact answer and wanted to confirm if the Lucid has matrix-type headlights or not. In the US, most advanced lighting systems have been dumbed down due to outdated regulations. Those regulations have finally been updated but for most...

    Quick question on 3D surround view

    Thank you for everyone's input! I have been able to switch to another car that has the Dream Drive Premium in it. Required a switch from the Tahoe to Santa Cruz interior but I like both, so no disadvantage. Both cars have short lead-times as well, a benefit for the non-US market.

    Quick question on 3D surround view

    The car is a new car but available in stock. Insane pricing in Europe. The base price for a Touring was 130K Euro before dropping down to 99K Euro last week. The issue is that the lead times are also extensive. If you order a car, it will take 3-5 months to show up. I have no issues with the...

    Quick question on 3D surround view

    We are getting a Lucid Touring in Europe and have a question on the surround camera views available in the car. I am not close to any centers so this would be sight unseen. Basic Dream Drive... I have somewhat dismissed the Dream Drive Pro features as I have no interest in any semi autonomous...

    2024 Massage Seats Pure/Touring & Leather Interior???

    The issue for that has been the distance to the nearest Lucid store. We are currently driving a BMW iX with Sensatec which is likely very similar to the Purluxe but I just don't like a black interior. The car is quantum gray/stealth so I appreciate a bit of color... I am hoping the 14. pos...

    2024 Massage Seats Pure/Touring & Leather Interior???

    I know it's an older thread but from my understanding the difference between the leather and extended leather isn't the obvious Alcantara in the GT but that all parts of the seats, headrests, etc. are covered in leather. Also the non-Alcantara door panel sections. On the Touring, only the...

    CarPlay is here! - Megathread

    I was speaking with Headquarters Sales Advisor to firm up the order for the Grand Touring and my concern about missing Apple CarPlay. He said no problem, we have CarPlay and Android Auto so no issues... Can anyone confirm that this is existing functionality or just vaporware? If it exists, I...
