I want to cut lucid slack but when another startup EV, Rivian, can have software that is so well thought out, it's hard to accept. Yes, Rivian copied a lot of Tesla's look but at least it works and has interesting features that surprise me. I find EVs are usually separated by people into 2 categories - legacy and startups and they are held to different standards. Software quirks with legacy makers are acceptable because they build "better" cars and build quality issues with startups are accepted because they haven't made cars before and their focus is on the EV tech and software. Startups are seen as software first, cars second and vice versa for legacy makers. So what happens when a startup's software has issues?
I bought my AGT over a legacy car EV because I wanted a car that continuously got better, which is what Tesla pioneered. I wasn't confident the legacy cars would do that based on the conversations I've had. I'm personally a little disappointed that lucid's software is buggy or has design issues.
