[@AaronMcFarland]

If you spend $100k plus on a vehicle, it should be able to do more than a Chevy Bolt. It seems if you need to charge outside your home area, the car has problems.

[@kbmblizz1940]

Even as I own a Y, live in Calif, I still occasionally have range anxiety. E.g. return home from Santa Barbara, we found out Hw1 was closed. Wasted 75 mile of 🔋 range to backtrack. Another time, pull in Stockton/Hwy99 SuperCharger, it was full. Imagine what it'd be like in busy holidays as Teslas multiply like rabbits. So CCS issues by itself will cause Lucid to fail. What is an expensive car that's no good for road trips?

Thank you for sharing this. Dave. I like Lucid cars myself and I own a Model S.

Tesla has its quirks and imperfections, but they do think more about the peoples use when they make designs. I just wish Tesla would add Waze and Pandora to the system.

[@schmoab]

I sold my Mini SE for a gas one, and it was really more about the charging stations than the lack of range on the car. It was such a good car in town but just can’t go out of the city because of the charging infrastructure or lack thereof.

Good video. Sorry about your experience with the CCS networks. I occasionally have had an issue but no more than when stuck in line at Costco for petrol for my Lexus.

[@ButterfatFarms]

But here's the thing. You don't have to wait in line at Costco to fuel up your Lexus. There's lots of other places you could pull directly up to the pump and be on your way in a matter of minutes. The charging options in the Fort Myers Cape Coral area he's at just sucks. Was going to rent a Hertz Tesla but once I looked at the public charging situation there yeah screw that clusterfuk.

[@KaiPonte]

@@ButterfatFarms You never fill up your ICE car (gas or diesel) and have to wait 20 minutes? That's normal. The gas stations are always full, with lines - unless you go at 2:00am. I just filled up my 1999 Lexus last week and had to wait for three people at an Arco. All gas stations have lines.

[@ButterfatFarms]

Actually no, we don't need to do that in the 8th largest city in Florida that's a nearly a quarter million in population. I pull straight up to the pump. There's lots of them and there's always one that's free. The last time I waited in line for gas it was for hours in the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Ian which was a cat 5 hurricane that did extensive damage. Like seriously I come up on a gas station and all the pumps are full, i'm not waiting in line I'm driving down the street to the next gas station that's got pumps available. I just pulled into a racetrack to grab a few things, there are 10 double-sided pumps for a total of 20 available. You might pull into an older Circle K that has two pumps and can serve 4 people but there's plenty of others that have more or places like RaceTrac or Wawa that have a lot of them. If you got to wait to fill up as a matter of routine that sucks.

[@ButterfatFarms]

@@KaiPonte I guess I've just lived here so long at this point I've lost appreciation for what it's like filling up in other places that I haven't been to in a very long time. Something small to be thankful for I guess that it's not that way here.

I just got my Lucid Air Pure a month ago despite seeing all of the issues Dave a Kyle experienced. I have yet to see the signet surge. Maybe the 700v lucids fast charge better than the 900v versions?

Why the heck did the passenger seat move forward, seemingly randomly, at 18:49????

[@BobbyGreen87]

Do you think by EA switching over to NACS is going to make them work better??

[@Skotty64081]

Generally the switch to NACS is paired with making a deal with Tesla to use their charging network. That is probably the assumption. Tesla's charging network is pretty solid.

[@kng128]

It's not about the connector on the end of the cable. The dispensers have Microsoft Windows computers in them which are often bricked. You pull into a station with 4 chargers and several of them aren't working and other 1-2 that are working are taken.

[@Dr_Flankensteinn]

I have a 23 Tesla MYLR I was forced to used Electrify America in the Islamorada as there are no superchargers there. All units were derated and slow - people whom have never experienced using a supercharger are going to be in for a pleasant awakening how ez the Tesla Superchargers and how fast!

Color free is good. Can add FSD later to keep price where it should be. Wish Tesla had power boost option like the do on model Y. Would be easy to do.

[@wemakecookie]

Ya they probably won't take it back cause they're really struggling to sell the cars and losing tons of money. I wouldn't feel confident buying from a company which may go under unless the Saudis buy them out

[@andymueller1256]

Dave I received my Lucid last May. I agree with some of your comments. Although on my car the reaction time for the passenger function changing the seat is much faster. Also My slow driving is very smooth maybe some things have changed. Except for one quirk where my volume got stock last week the software seems to be faster. The charging network is not good. If you do not mind charging at home there are no issues but this is a big problem for all EV's not on the Tesla network. Lastly I agree on the Dream Drive Pro. One of my employees bought a model three and the software is really nice. I was hoping when I received my car as I ordered a Stealth Model Air Touring that the software for the Dream Drive Pro would wow me. Honestly It is one of my biggest issue. Lastly one thing I am surprised that was not brought up and maybe it is me as I use the key. Sometimes my key does not work and i will sit outside the car and have to open the car with my phone. I tried to setup my phones bluetooth as a key but I cannot get it to work. If they work some of these things out I believe it is a really nice car. I love how it looks how it drives and for the most part am a happy with it but they need to work on the software.

[@karthikmeduri252]

Definitely they would improve over the time with software updates. Even Tesla faced a lot of issues in their earlier stages. Their enhanced autopilot and Fsd are crazy when they were released. Similar way Lucid would improve these things over the time. But CCS charger network is way scary than all...

[@cppdee]

That is 1 thing I tip my hat to Tesla for...their emphasis on software and how everything works pretty well together. You definitely lose in the luxury end of things when it comes to interior materials and all that. No doubt about that. But man my base model 3 is really functional...esp the center display.

[@Yanquetino]

I get it. The DCFC networks have GOT to up their game. Hopefully the transition to NACS will ramp up quickly. I just wish the E-GMP cars would also finally decide to get on board.

Very appreciative of the comments. I own a Lucid too, and would not trade it for anything. Far from being perfect, but also far more advanced than most. The driving experience is beyond amazing, and with every software update it only keeps getting better. ‘My pet is ok’ seriously….

[@raemill4089]

Hmmm...I guess by the way you put it, if I had to road trip like ALL the time, then yeah, I would likely not keep my non-Tesla EV. But for normal use (what I think of as normal anyway) of road tripping of 1 - 3 road trips a year and the rest daily driving with charging available at home, I couldnt see my way to changing up bc of a few issues with CCS charging. And yes, I've only had less than a handful in about 3 years. With the whole NACS about to become (it really already has) the standard anyway and an adapter is all that'll be needed for use of the SC network next year, I'm good. I do appreciate your viewpoint as it does provide much value!

[@02DCorona]

Thanks for sharing ur experiences. Yes the car is gorgeous but can’t only think of that. Little things on ur day to day add up if it’s annoying. Lucid needs to drop prices bc it won’t sell at all.

[@TassieEV]

You can play music but only for a a short period there is a time limit not sure how many seconds it is, I'd stick to less than 10sec if possible. KZbinr in the UK I follow his entire intro is licensed music but doesn't play it for longer than the time period for each song he has in his intro so doesn't get tagged by copyright. That charging issue on 800v is Tesla issue not the car as it happens to Ioniq 5/6, Kia EV6 as well in Europe on Superchargers as well, therefore I agree with Lucid and Hyundai/Kia same issue with any 800v car as has been shown by people using SC on their 800v cars in Europe.

[@johnjohnson3926]

Despite the predictable howling from the Lucid fanboys, Dave’s exactly right. My 8 year old MS has a better UI than my 23 Lucid Touring. I’m very disappointed in Lucid so far, and very concerned about their future. And, my concern has nothing to do with the charging infrastructure. Lucid makes a beautiful car that oozes luxury and advanced architecture, but is compromised by poorly designed electronics and clunky interfaces.

Now that Lucid has adopted NACS and released the Gravity SUV, it would be interesting to see a redux of this video!

[@bob8606]

I don't take that many road trips, but I am concerned about charging. EA is not getting better. They recently replaced some chargers at a nearby station. Just 2 weeks later one of the chargers is down. Hard to expect they will concentrate on CCS while the world goes to NACS. I agree Lucid needs to make a plan and announce it. On CarPlay that is probably an Apple thing, and changing the software is probably difficult/impossible for Lucid. Overall, I wish Lucid was better at communications. Following Tesla on that is not a good idea.

[@joetz1]

A few years ago when people complained about electrify America I would always tell them just wait it will get better. Well, several years have gone by and it turns out that I’m wrong. Instead of getting better electrify America has gotten worse. Every time I show up at the station more and more machines are either broken or not working properly or to the full capacity. I don’t know what’s going on. Maybe they don’t care or maybe this is deliberate. It’s hard to believe that a company could be this incompetent.

[@SilverSlayer23]

5:32 I feel like that's a quirk of Apple Carplay and sounds in general like they compromised on the processing and computer in general. At that price point, it should have some of the best on the market to ensure a smooth and seemless experience. Its a luxury electric vehicl after all.

[@jameswagner844]

CCS charging would've been enough but all points are valid here. This is not an inexpensive car nor should it be judged like one.

[@bavariancarenthusiast2722]

Thank you David for the user-perspective view - which is great! They ask for a lot of money....and this does not look like a luxury car inside though. Its half baked? They still need to put a lot of work into it.

[@ArnoldWinters]

I saw this coming many episodes ago. Dave and Kathy were very pissed about the CCS network. Lucid has a very long way to go to hold a candle to Tesla in so many ways. I hope Dave made money on the sale of his Lucid. He bought it for $50K under list price.

[@SmartMart1658]

Hope Lucid addresses these features.

[@BradleyBaker]

Your reason is the same reason I got rid of my Audi etron. I too, take many road trips and I just got tired of the non-Tesla charging infrastructure here in the US. Pitiful and getting worse, IMHO.

[@teslarex]

For me, I’m willing to overlook a few luxuries (fine leather, CarPlay, ultimate range) for a smooth ecosystem and highest engineering/technology/safety. I want an established brand with solid financials, management and proven execution. Tesla has incredible software engineers, hardware and innovation. FSD is next level compared to others. Max range isn’t really my concern even with my old Model X-175k miles and 220 max range. I can travel SoCal to NorCal, Vegas albeit with more charging.

Dave, thanks for posting the feedback. I hope that Lucid Engineers take it seriously. There's nothing better than live demonstration of the concerns, especially when it comes with the intentions of improving the experience. I had the Model 3 (as well), and agree that the slow driving (traffic) was pretty smooth, so it should definitely be as smooth or smoother in the Lucid. Providing information such as the name of the song, or pet mode (temp inside the vehicle), are very valid and simple points. I had suggested to Tesla and Elon, that they consider allowing feedback from drivers after a vehicle initiated hard brake event to determine if it was legitimate or not... because my Model 3 had slammed on the brakes on the highway due to a falling leaf (it was a scary event). That instant feedback from the Driver along with the information captured by the vehicle should allow for useful datapoints for the Engineers involved in the Self-driving and safety features of the vehicle. It seems like you want to help us get better vehicles and I appreciate your efforts. Keep it up!

Interesting comments! I was considering BMW electrics but with their insistence to stay with CCS and partner with "like-minded" companies and build their own network, BMW was removed as an EV candidate. I own a BMW, so I have nothing against the Brand, outside of their nutty pricing. If Tesla had lowered the price of their product line, and in particular the "S" about 2 weeks before they actually did, a Tesla "S" would be sitting in my garage instead of a BMW. I think I'll go with the company that can, by OTA updates, unlock an additional 100HP

About a foot shorter than Dave, I need easy entry & exit, and not sure if they finally added it. When the radio was playing, GPS instructions were fixed at the same volume so you can’t hear them. Agree with Dave that you want Waze on one display while other display shows route to DC Fast charger. Opening the charger door outside vehicle was a hit or miss operation. At $155K plus another $10K sales tax, it simply too much money to spend for all these quirks. While not perfect, my EQS 580 is so much better than Lucid. Adaptive cruise control with lane centering and automatic lane changing is outstanding. I love rear wheel steering, but some days miss the frunk and dislike nuisance start/stop button. Hey Dave, I could send you a really cute dog mode sign for the dashboard in case your next EV isn’t a Tesla. First world problems.

@@vickykennel7414 A shame you can't accept criticism of an overpriced EV where you hit head on roof when exiting vehicle, impossible to hear GPS instructions because same volume as entertainment system, charging door takes 4 pushes to open, lousy phone charger, only way to send voice commands is via invasive Amazon Alexa. No one wants Amazon Alexa to listening to private conversations in their vehicle. Other than these quirks and high price, it's a good car and maybe ready for prime time in a year or two.

The software in this car is garbage. For all the talk about how the tech in the Lucid is top of the line this video really lays bare all the deficiencies this car has. I think Lucid is in real trouble.

I didn't know Lucid is missing so many software functionalities that Tesla has, considering they have a lot of former Tesla engineers. What is really strange is the slow driver profile change. It's either as slow or almost as slow as the Audi fat etron's profile change, which could be measured with a sundial. Something that's almost instantaneous in even the cheapest Tesla should really be the same in a Lucid. A lot of the things on Dave's wishlist seem strange to be missing in a car like the Lucid Air for sure.

The fit and finish is disappointing for a car with that price tag. The laggy software would drive me nuts.

Spent 150k on lucid gt, software UI is terrible. Over the air update improvements are so slow. Didn't see much software improvement over the last 14 months. Very disappointing
