Engineering Explained joining the Lucid Lemon Club

Did he actually have to Lemon it though through the litigation process? I thought they just bought it back knowing it was a well documented 'lemon'.

It was not lemoned. They just bought the car back.

And to be fair, his problems sounded kind of insane, so it was definitely a lemon.
 
He spends a lot of time talking about the Stop Mode setting changing from Hold to Roll, and his description of the issue is pretty dramatic. Mine also changes on its own once or twice a week, but while it is frustrating, I have never viewed it as being as ominous as he makes it out to be.

What if it did change and the first instance was at a busy pedestrian crossing? A short second or two glance down to the pilot panel thinking the car had stopped and held could result in rolling into a crosswalk full of people.
 
Possible, but it all adds up. You lease a car 3 years and for almost a full year it's mostly frustration. I would be quite upset too.
We'll never really know if got special treatment or not, but good on Lucid for making it right.

That scenario is theoretically possible, but in my experience the change in behavior is immediately noticeable as soon as the car begins to roll rather than hold. And at a busy pedestrian crossing, my attention would be on the crosswalk and the car’s movement, not on glancing down at the pilot panel.
 
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.
 
Yikes. This is the kind of video that can kill a motor company. Just ask MKBHD and Fisker

He should be able to discuss his experience just like anyone else.

Does this impact titling requirements? Like, if Lucid sold his car would it be branded as a lemon versus someone who went through the entire Lemon Law process?

So he should only report good things for his gains? His job is to get views through discussions of great and lousy products. The fact that he sampled two vehicles from Lucid (an Air and a Gravity) and they both had software issues is on Lucid.

True story: I largely bought my Lucid because of his first review of the car. He apologized to me personally lol
