It seems that Lucid needs to improve its software development quality assurance and production quality control.
They need to be perfect.
They need to be perfect.
At this point, from what I’ve read from owners, if they were simply very good and not even perfect, that would have been fine and a huge improvement over what we’re seeing now.
Just talking about the software, which according to most owners is not fine.Honestly, it’s fine. The car is drivable and brilliant at it, the bugs are annoying but don’t affect the actual ride, and are mostly just convenience features.
This car is perfect for a “0.0.8” release I’ll reserve judgment on software until at least “0.2.0”
I disagree. I paid $169,000 for a car that has no cruise control. The navigation system is poor at best. The human factors engineering is bad.Honestly, it’s fine.

I know that Tesla has had software maturity issues also, but Lucid should have not made the same mistakes. Yes, the DE software will get better, but I don't enjoy driving it yet.
Yes, but the Lucid software is 1.0.8. I don’t know where this 0.0.8 came from - probably someone’s typo.0.0.8 is considered “under initial development

There is also a pretty large transparency issue. I can imagine that the software engineers are working overtime at this point, especially with just basic functions like cruise control not even turned on. I looked at the release notes for the upcoming 1.1 release and they only listed "minor upgrades." But I continue to be impressed with the mechanical aspects of the vehicle and if those things were bad, no software update would be able to fix them.
Yeah, I do wish the release notes were more detailed. I wonder if that will change with the “major” version updates.
You didn’t check out the HFE b4 purchase?I disagree. I paid $169,000 for a car that has no cruise control. The navigation system is poor at best. The human factors engineering is bad.

I guess that's why you've put your's up for sale??I disagree. I paid $169,000 for a car that has no cruise control. The navigation system is poor at best. The human factors engineering is bad.

Yes, I really wanted to like it. It's not just software bugs, it's poor design. The high price is so if I sell it, ok, I will move on. If I don't, maybe software updates will make it good enough.I guess that's why you've put your's up for sale??
How would I do that without driving one? And I did ask and was told that there we no demo vehicles.You didn’t check out the HFE b4 purchase?
I understand the software, but what ergonomics are you referring to?Yes, I really wanted to like it. It's not just software bugs, it's poor design. The high price is so if I sell it, ok, I will move on. If I don't, maybe software updates will make it good enough.
It's really fast but I enjoy driving my 2018 Navigator better. The new 2022 Navigator has SYNC-4, Ford's self-driving, wireless Android Auto, better ergonomics and is quieter. Just not and EV.
I have to fold the mirrors to get into/out of the garage. At the moment that function is time consuming. On most cars you just push a button.I understand the software, but what ergonomics are you referring to?
