Heads-up display

[Marv d]

Ok i’m about to purchase a Lucid at the only problem that I have with the Lucid is they do not come with heads up display or as much as they cost I prefer a heads up display

I don’t disagree with you here. I wish it had that too. That said, the main dashboard is well within the field of view.

 

[borski]

I haven’t wanted for one since the driver binnacle is right in front of you, but I agree I would love one. I am going to be jealous of the HUD in my wife’s gravity.

Before lucid my daily driver was a 7 series with HUD, which I really loved.

That said, I feel like the position of the lucid air display is pretty good, most of time I forget it doesn't have a HUD.

I hope she lets you drive it, at least once

She has full access to my Air, anytime, so I would expect full reciprocity or we’d have to renegotiate the treaty entirely.

For now, only the Gravity, not Air, would give you a head-up display option in the $3,200 Technology Package.

not for me, I like my steering wheel to be as low as possible, when in that position a good part of the display is blocked, I cannot see one slice of the speed reading.

Having owned cars with HUDs as I currently do, I notice an interesting pattern. After a short period of time I tend to look right through the HUD, not even noticing its presence. Further, if you wear polarized sunglasses, they all but disappear.

So yes, I guess it’s nice to have the option, but for me it’s no big deal.

I used to say that I would never buy another vehicle without a HUD. Then I went on the waiting list for a Lucid. My reason was that I was willing to consider the Lucid despite not having a HUD because, as @Bobby and @borski pointed out, the binnacle is almost a HUD. But it still would be nice if it had one, especially if one is able to customize it so it only displays the information one wants to see while driving.

I have had many cars with HUD, the first being a 92 Bonneville SSEi, I never used it on that car or the many other cars I have owned since then as I like a clean windscreen.

I thought the HUD thing was silly until I had a GMC Canyon with the feature. Now I'm really missing it in the Air. Strange decision by Lucid to skip the feature given the market class it's supposed to be in, imho.

I feel the same way as you with every HUD I've ever used, including the Ioniq 5 I own now.

I suspect you may not feel the same way with the Gravity's HUD. You'll have to let us know!

I have had HUDs for a number of years and have loudly proclaimed that it was necessary for me. I reluctantly gave Lucid a pass as the display is so high and right in front of the driver that it almost functions like a HUD.

I've heard complaints that other brands' HUDs aren't really compatible with polarized sunglasses. Anyone try that with a Gravity HUD?

 

[L-Dude]

I had a HUD in my last car. I absolutely do not miss it at all in my AGT. It sounds cool, but in practice I found it to be marginally useful.

I am so tired of hearing that. Yes...if you wear polarized sunglasses you will have difficulty seeing the HUD, especially if you are driving into the sun. You can afford a Lucid, you can certainly afford a pair of tinted but not polarized sunglasses. Even if you wear progressive glasses, you are still only talking about a few hundred dollars. I wear high quality tinted but not polarized Oakley sunglasses and they work great both in the car and on the golf course.

Yep. I thought it was malfunctioning until my wife reminded me that it didn't work with my (progressive prescription) sunglasses.

I need new glasses anyway

POLARIZED glasses: several sunglass brands offer a partial polarized lens. For example Randolph sells their own version and a Zeiss version. Both work with HUD.

Question: early Gravity HUD in DE not only had ghosts orbs etc but had a huge reflected rectangular cloud from the whole surface of the projector. I have never seen this in MB with smaller projectors. In the corrected iteration of the HUD is this still continuously present?

 

[Smorgasbord]

I'm getting tired of excuses. The best car should be compatible with the best sunglasses, which are polarized.

If Lucid were to switch to DLP technology instead of LCD projection, this wouldn't be a problem. Texas Instruments has been making these for half a decade now:
