Car and Driver rates Lucid No. 1 in “Who makes the best cars”

[prgarg]

I mean...clearly a company that has NHTSA Noncompliant and dangerous cupholders shouldn't be the winner

They have a no beverage allowed in their cars policy, that's why

For those of us who have been around long enough, we can remember when Car & Driver was accused of always favoring BMW in every comparison, because BMW spent the most on advertising with them. This was a constant complaint in the “letters to the editor” in every edition. C&D even addressed this because it was such a common concern. We know Lucid isn’t the top spender on ads, right?

I for one am just happy to see Lucid get some positive press. We love our Gravity.

I blame the present societal collapse on Silicon Valley greed…..when influences with no expertise or knowledge can move the needle with help from algorithms….

Damn, I totally missed the current societal collapse - I need to read more than the WSJ, NYT and WaPo and numerous blogs! They totally missed that one!

I'll take the positive press all day, however garnered. I also think it's warranted, by the way. Software aside, it's one of the best cars I've ever owned. I think people sometimes forget about all of the other aspects of the vehicle aside form the software. It's a real joy to drive.

Well you aren’t reading bbc, Al-Jazeera, and the Hindustan Times. I mean you need to get a world view or you will miss it

I’ve been quite pleased with charge, drive, repeat

me too. Sorry others have had problems, however I just don't think about anything but what a pleasure it is to drive. Every day, all day, any day...

A third explanation is they had a car that operated and performed the way it was designed to and they absolutely loved it. It could happen. I'm driving a car that fits that description. Some on this forum (@socktucker) have not been so blessed. Sounds like you are in that same camp.

You're not gonna beleive this, but I got a new phone this weekend.

I walked up, pressed the door handle, and my car woke up and unlocked

THAT HASN'T WORKED RIGHT IN ALMOST A YEAR!! 3 DOOR HANDLES, 5 TRIPS TO SERVICE, LUCID COULD NEVER FIX IT!!!

of course as soon as i got in the car it wigged out and started demanding a PIN again...baby steps...

They couldn't fix THE CAR because it was THE PHONE! Huh!!! Maybe the new phone's signal will move the roof back into place!
