I logged in the portal I looked around a few places just the lucid website I assume but logged in. I didn’t initially purchase my car 2nd user so I don’t see that order on my screen. Think I should ask customer service?
I agree that the HA function as it stands is not enough to justify the price. However, I am excited to see what is planned in the future. Essentially the price is a contribution to the team making these features at this point… Very similar to the Tesla model.
I'm leaning towards the premium option as well. $12k for what amounts to a very average highway assist function doesn't seem worth it at all.
Well said.
I learned my lesson with Tesla. I bought full self drive in 2016 Model S. The promise (by Elon), at the time, was coast-to-coast FSD by the end of 2017. I still don't have it. I cannot even get the beta without paying an added $2,000 for a hardware upgrade. So keep that in mind. I'm done with buying promises.
I totally understand your point and it's definitely possible that the future software updates will take forever to come out and/or potentially cost extra $. It's too early to say at this point on. On the other side of the coin, I think the Tesla and Lucid's sales points are (or should be) two different things. With Tesla you bought 'Full-Self Driving' which was marketed as that, and I think a lot of customers (rightfully so) feel cheated because the software, to this day, still does not 'Fully self drive' you around. On the other hand -- Lucid never promised nor advertised such thing. Paying for DDP buys you the hardware that is capable for future autonomy via software releases. I think it all comes down to having proper expectations.
Don't you think that Lucid has delivered a much better level of ADAS in the short time compared to what Tesla did in the same period? Lucid is taking a conservative approach and so far I think there are zero accidents in Lucid due to HA or ACC. I used both a lot.
I'll grant you that. The Tesla hype, at the time, included such things as videos that promised things that it still cannot do. Lucid has been very circumspect on future FSD/autonomy. No timeline. No fake videos.
I cannot comment, since I'm still waiting for my Pure, and even so did not order DD Pro. And I don't have Tesla's FSD (paid for it, but don't have it). Tesla Autopilot is still dangerous, IMO, so I don't hold out much hope for FSD in any reasonable timeframe.
Exactly my feelings, though I did get the DDpro for faster delivery. I called Tesla up and gave them an earful and sold my Tesla a little after that. I will never own a vehicle from a company where the CEO promises a product improvement is coming this year, takes your money and we still dont have it 6 years later. Wonder what Cathy Wood is drinking....Robotaxi my backside! At least Peter doesn't go around saying he will have full autonomy next year. I was happy to support Lucid's endeavor but will never buy another Tesla. And I actually paid 15 k for 2 Teslas! Money into Elon's pocket for NOTHING!!!
Absolutely I would not be patient for 6 years. That said, almost any well equipped car these days seems to have reliable steering and speed control and a decent backup camera and parking sensors.
Steering is still a premium feature. ACC? Sure, that’s pretty standard nowadays.
I bought the DDPro out right, and also said to include the SSpro, bur there was a miscommunication and they dropped the SSpro to a free trail, I haven't logged in to use it so was wondering like others how different the sound will be and what options on the inner/lower panel will go away.
What does your purchase agreement say? Did you pay for SSP?
It shows no SSP and my DA at the time mentioned the trial period when I was questioning why it wasn't there, so I left it as is instead of having them re-adding it (if I had made the change it would have been the third update to the PA).
Congratulations! Enjoy
