Software and Tech is totally unreliable

[Batteryman]

Yep, I almost pulled the trigger last week because Lucid had an offer I almost couldn't refuse: $60,000 up front ($21k in lease incentives + 39k for 2021 Model S) BUT in going to the showroom for one last look at test drive before signing, I got spooked by admittedly some minor issues. I had to press the door handle 2x to open (not a big deal but I noticed it), my phone wouldn't charge in the charging slot (after the salesperson assured me there were no issues charging phones wirelessly anymore) and the native nav for some reason locked up on us as we were driving.

Since my Model S works fine (more the only issue being politics), I decided not to play Russian Roulette now and will see what Lucid does with the Air in 2026 or 2027 (hopefully get a v2). Love the car but don't want to deal with early adopter headaches.

Minor issues, I never use phone slot, I plug in the cable. Don’t deprive yourself of the best sport sedan ever made.

2.5 years in, still get an itch to drive the car. It excites me like no other car!

If you want perfect reliability, only one car dies it- Toyota. Perhaps, a toyota EV is best for you? But compared to the Air, handling, driving, range, efficiency, looks, space - will be abysmal.
