Lucid Air Cupholder NHTSA Complaint

[illopp00]

Yeah, would be nice to have bigger cup holders, but I can easily live with these. I actually like the fact that cans don’t tip over or wobble inside.

Yeah I spilled my coffee twice in the Gravity when using excess acceleration because they have bigger looser cupholders.

He's by no means a useless engineer. He's a very knowledgeable person when it comes to engineering and how it all works.

And also has been reviewing cars for about 10 - 12 years. I have literally assigned some analysts who worked for me to watch his videos on engine and transmission design and analysis as a way of getting more familiar with the more technical aspects of cars. Having them have that level of knowledge built credibility with our clients and relieved the need for having me lead all the technical discussions.

legitimate criticism

I think this is what is being debated.

I think this is what is being debated.

I can see four potential solution paths here...

1. Lucid changes the design of the cupholders in Air
2. Customers actively search out cups / mugs that fit in the existing cupholders
3. Customers acquire aftermarket cupholder solutions. I remember in the '80s / '90s buying those cheap plastic things that would hook into the window frame.
4. Customers buy a different vehicle with better cupholders.

It's possible that I'm missing something.
