I am somewhat tired of the negativity about Tesla and Musk. I have a Model 3LR and sold my Model S to purchase the Lucid Air GT. I like the Teslas and enjoy driving the Model 3 daily. The Lucid is a far superior engineering marvel but I do not degrade my Tesla based on Elon. Who gives a xxxx what he does, it doesn't matter to me as long as my Model 3 still is running well, never had charging problems, service problems or software issues as some but then again, my experience is different. The Lucid software has never come close to the Tesla yet. That is something I am waiting for and cannot wait to see it reach some level of adequate performance. CarPlay is cool, but I have an Android phone and the nav in the Lucid is super bad. Plus, I paid a lot more for the Lucid than I did for either the Model 3 or S and I did expect more maturity in the vehicle than it had at my delivery in November 2022.
Also, do not give me the BS about buying a new concept vehicle, early adoptee, etc. For $150k plus, you expect something reliable right away. Lucid has got to step up to the plate and get their software development down. I cannot believe they are not able to reverse engineer Tesla's multitude of software features and utilize that without violating proprietary rights. DreamDrive is pretty dismal compared to the Tesla AutoPilot but Lucid hopefully will forego the fart sound and light show programs.
So, I would think we all can quit bashing other vehicles and enjoy our driving experience. I feel lucky to be able to own and enjoy driving both.
