@JoeMa, no external button for frunk, other than the button on the key fob.
The HUD….. hmmmm… unfinished product like everybody says. I see huge potential. The display is projected in such a way that it’s distant from the glass (almost like a projection further out on the horizon, hence their patent I guess), so it’s HUGE. When driving, it looks like it covers 2 to 2 1/2 lanes in front of you. Right now, everything is squeezed to the bottom of the HUD displayable area. It’s almost like the aspect ratio is wrong, fonts are more wide and just look squeeze down by a fixed displayable resolution of sorts. Not much info. Speed sign, current speed. Dream Cruise settings (I think), and that’s about it for now. Oh, and minimal GPS turn-by-turn arrows. There is so much empty space left for like a bazillion things, I feel like they could take out the dash OLED display and just put everything on the HUD and it would work.
However, I find the current brightness level to be too low, and depending on what’s in front of you, hard to read the graphics and numbers. I have not play with the settings to fix this. Also depending on the sun reflective angle, I randomly see a big square patch of white overlay in front of me, not distracting, but enough that it annoys me. I’m sure these might be just settings that I can adjust.
Have not even try CarPlay yet. Too excited, too many things to play with. Will spend more time in the car tonight and tomorrow to go over everything.
@Kvothe89, when I pick up this morning. There were 2 more inside ready for delivery. A black GT, another Aurora Green DE. And 3 more GTs sitting on the lot. I also saw another Aurora Green being moved around when they were moving mine out. Including mine, there were 7 Gravities @ Milbrae. 6 Green, 1 Black. I can only confirm 2 were DEs, and 3 GTs, didn’t check on bear badges on the others from far away, or it’s obstructing where I can’t see to confirm. SA told me all the GTs have no HUD/Tech Package. I saw one GT, the HUD cut out is there, so they didn’t change the dash to cover the HUD projection opening. On my Taycan, if you didn’t get the HUD, you get a different dash, where there’s no cutout, and no bump for the HUD hardware.
1st impression (I never test drove or own any Lucid before), AMAZING. so quiet. I think it’s better than my Range Rover Sport Autobiography, wife says no, but I think it does. Bay Area traffic, so I’m stuck on Smooth mode for the ride home. Gonna go out tonight and go carve some canyons. Suspension in smooth is so good. My usual routes home with bumps and cracks, feel so good. Squircle takes a bit of time to get used to. Don’t think it’ll matter at all.
One thing I think my wife will find annoying. The turn stalk feels just a tad further out from your position when holding the squircle, I have long fingers, it’s fine for me, but wife will probably have to stretch to reach it, not much, but not comfy enough to just stick your finger and flip the lever.
Lots of dings and alerts, maybe it’s a setting I can turn things off. Need to read the manual and/or press everything and figure things out. Dream Drive keeps wanting to help me avoid certain situations and move steering wheel, have to turn that off.
Maybe more details when I get more with it. Some family obligations, so no time to play with it. The availability of this was such a short notice, I’m actually not prepared for it. Didn’t take much photos either. will try some photos tomorrow.
I’m number 063 on the door sill. Was secretly hoping for 007.
