    3.0 on Air

    Are you really not familiar with myriad complaints that many (not all) have about 2.10 and earlier UX? This is not the thread to regurgitate them but I'm so far very impressed with the speed and responsiveness. Seems like nothing went untouched, even the steering wheel volume control rate is...

    3.0 on Air

    I can confirm I just received notification of the software update. Mine is a May 2024 (Pure) build. Hoping this update is what I need to convince my wife to stay with Lucid.

    3.0 on Air

    I read the same thing in a Google alert, but all I can find now is "select 2024 models will need the hardware update", so does that mean the May+ builds are good to go?

    Lease Buyout

    What criteria did I lay out that puts her in a beige Camry? Operating door handles and a UX that doesn't crash opens up a lot of options...all them, actually. I'm not putting anyone in anything, she is making these choices based on her personal experience. Shout out E-40, everyone has choices.

    Lease Buyout

    The residual is just a best guess (or manipulation tool to adjust lease payments at the time of sale) but you can't use that as any measure of winning or losing on a buy out today. Check out the Lucid used site and you'll see 2-3 model year newer for less than those early residuals. Our...

    Is anybody successful in reaching Lucid for Annual Service

    Brake fluid is one of the most overlooked maintenance items on vehicles, or at least American vehicles. Euro brands are good about recommending 2-3 year change intervals, but I'm willing to bet there is a large number of cars on the road here that have never had the fluid changed and they are...

    Scotty Kilmer Reviewed my '25 AT

    Unwatchable? Obnoxious?? I knew who he was just by the name, so whatever it is he does seems to build recognition, if not followers.

    Air Pure vs Grand Touring in 2026

    '24 Pure with 20" wheels and Santa Cruz interior. I'm obviously biased, but the Pure with a few options checked off is really the sweet spot of value and driving dynamics.

    I sold it.... =( .... Can I still hang out with you guys?

    I think the GM BT1 platform is verging on irresponsible in terms of use of resources, inefficient drivetrain engineering, and overall weight. 9,500lbs curb weight is ridiculous.

    Regret my purchase

    If the lack of Homelink is going to cause you to use 31 exclamation points and regret your entire purchase decision, then that is on you!!!!! for not confirming the apparently life changing technology exists in the model you're about to purchase.

    Battery Health - How much degradation is normal?

    Is it plausible that what we think are best practice for battery health is not a fully vetted conclusion?

    This thread has to be the new benchmark of the minutiae of first world problems.

    Paint Failure?

    "I'm Earl Scheib and I'll paint any car, any color for just $99.95, no ups and no extras" Looks like the OP has the infamous Diamond Gloss paint.

    Washing a black Gravity without scratching?

    Not a fan of waterless cleaning for anything but light dust and pollen. Black is going to be a rough go.

    Incompatible Tesla Chargers

    I spend a lot of time at racetracks and the Tesla SC are available to anyone and 24 hours a day (verified with track management). In fact last summer at a race at Buttonwillow Raceway in CA (near Bakersfield) we had a Tesla enter a live race track with a race going on...not only that, but going...

    Lucid Air 2.9.3- Same as 2.9.0?

    I don't know why some folks are so anxious for OTA updates, but I'm thankful y'all are out there beta testing for me. I don't have time for a service center visit.

    Engineering Explained joining the Lucid Lemon Club

    Lucid is far from flawless, but part of taking on a car from a start-up company is that you should expect something that is not fully sorted. That is not being a fanboy, that setting realistic expectations. The fallacy of this video series is that it comes from a false premise that Lucid is...

    Engineering Explained joining the Lucid Lemon Club

    I like his channel, but this one is slightly annoying for two reasons; One is that Lucid is struggling so much, and two, he is exploiting Lucid's pains for his own gain. This sort of video series is extremely damaging to the brand.

    Thinking of Jumping back in

    I can't imagine owning an EV without a home/residential or a reliable workplace charge option. It would be so tedious to rely on supercharging more than occaisionally. Sure, the service centers are few and far between and totally overwhelmed, but the odds of needing service are low. Get an Air!
