2026 Predictions for Lucid Air

[luckylucy]

Does anyone have an idea what's expected for 2026 Air? Wondering if they would bring the Gravity's UI, screen and NACS charging to the Air. Thoughts anyone?

I would expect '26 Air to introduce NACS native charging, but, when I posted this opinion on Lucid sub Reddit a few weeks ago, I was downvoted very heavily. Go figure. I thought it was a very reasonable expectation. They basically questioned what I was smoking...

Screen won't change. Elements of the UI are expected but who knows if thats a 26 event or later. I wouldn't expect much differences from prior models and any UI changes will likely be implemented in earlier models as well.

NACS would take a pretty significant redesign, more to move the charge port and wiring to the back than anything else. I wouldn't be shocked if that happens this year, but given the amount of attention on Gravity and work no doubt ramping up on Midsize I also wouldn't be surprised if the '26 Air is a fairly small update. My guess would be NACS, motor improvements, sound isolation and audio system improvements in the '27 model.

That is funny - I posted the same thing on Reddit and got the same type of response. I thought that was a reasonable expectation too.

And a transition to Gravity's new rear motor/controller assembly to perform the HV boost. It's notably bigger than the Air's motor/controller assembly. Many things would have to change, a substantial effort by many people who should be working on the midsize models. More time-consuming than swapping in a new keyfob and matching radios, just for purposes of comparison .
