Lucid Air Cupholder NHTSA Complaint

[scal_air]

Here is a quick video of my car and cups
I have a Lucid studio on the first floor of my building. I took a bag of my mugs to the studio today to test The new Air still has the tight cup holders but they have fixed it in Gravity, which has slightly wider ones. The regional sales manager was at the store and acknowledged that this is a problem with Air. He used to drive an Air and had this problem and coffee spills. He said that Lucid has come up with an adapter for them but they block the lid for storage compartment and buttons on the screen, so he does not recommend them. Even the Lucid's own cup was a tight fit in Air.

I think this is a serious hazard that the company is aware of and should fix. Their own employees agree with it.

If I was the regional sales manager, I would have given you 2 brand new Lucid tumblers while selling you a 2026 Air... First world problems are easier to solve.

I'm all for driver and passenger safety but this thread and comments are on par with powder coated tires for sale Value and concerns are in the eye of the beholder... following for the humor.

What happened to Blueice89? It doesn't look like he's a member anymore...

Yes they do, with or without carrier.

The cup holder issue is documented in this review

I used to follow this guy for engineering aspect as I like to use marker pen on whiteboard when used to teach in flying school like he does, but common, he now drives Mach-E and getting R2 and still using Lucid in the video title is obviously a click bait.
