Leaving aside whatever happened last night, the car really is amazing and I am really happy I got it. It is not perfect - but no car is just like none if us humans are. If it is the right match for your needs (and pockets)

do not be afraid to get it. I have every confidence that Lucid will make the changes they need to make to improve the areas that can be “upgraded “. So here are my thoughts leaving aside my small “issue”
Music: to be honest, I don’t really know what people are griping about without CarPlay. I love CarPlay and I’m looking forward to having it. However I have no problem playing music using the Bluetooth feature. I play Apple Music, Sirius and Pandora without issue. The display is not integrated so doesn’t control well on the car and it works best if I initiate with phone but it gets the job done fine until Car Play comes along
Alexa: I have had no luck with Alexa. She can’t seem to follow a single command. However I use Apple and I just use Siri and Siri gets the job done fine. I tell her to call a contact and she calls them And I hear them over the car speakers no issues.
AC: The AC is not as good as my Audi. There’s no question that the vents aren’t as big and aren’t as powerful, and I have to run with the fan speed relatively high and the temperature relatively low for much longer time to get my car cool. It is also the case, that the car is very hot if you are sitting stationary in it in the sun in the heat. There’s no getting around this fact. I was not planning on tinting originally, but I am considering it now. It is much better when driving rather than stationary and I try to use maintain cabin temperature set somewhere in the upper 70s to keep the car from baking when I get out of it to shop or run errands. I keep it the garage and look for shady parking at all times. When I heard people complaining about this, I figured they just liked their car really cold. Nope that’s not it. I keep my Audi said it’s 78 and I keep Luci set at some thing like 72 to 74.
Wipers: I agree with others that these need work wipers low didn’t seem to wipe at all wipers high was OK but not great. We were driving down the highway yesterday in a deluge and I had to do manual high and it was not fast enough to really keep up. Of course in South Florida it’s tricky to keep up with the torrents but the high is not as fast as my Audi.
App: The only other challenges I have had are controlling the car with the app on occasion. I often get a vehicle off-line error, and I have not tried to get to the root of the cause of it. I live in an area with a very poor cell signal, although the garage has Wi-Fi. I don’t know if the cell signal is the issue. I also often have difficulty with turning on maintain cabin temp using the app. The turn on button does not turn on the remote climate – What does seem to work is changing the temperature on the remote climate in the app and that always turns on the remote climate - but hitting the turn on button almost never does.
My general view is the car is exceptional and I am happy to live with its quirks. As an interesting point of reference, my son said “Mom, I never thought I could love a car but I love Luci”
