[@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?

[@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.

[@Smith-h6h]

FSD is only possible with millions of test data cars feeding the compute. If Lucid can't move more than 10k cars per year, how can they possibly predict FSD? Or is FSD a function of some other technology?

[@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.

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.

Lucid owner here. While the car drives well, i wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. 1. Software is terrible. It freezes very often. Another example is the ambient light doesn’t change color as the software says. So the light might be showing orange when u select blue. 2. The app is garbage. It’s showing as waking up vehicle and never stops. U can barely use the app to access vehicle function. 3. Service center has no idea what they are doing.

[@johnross6314]

Thanks for update. Get the X. I did order a X. Problem… likely will not get in time for section 179 this year. Looks like Jan 2024 delivery. Wait times are up unless find new one at Tesla “in stock”. 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. For those that do not need a Plaid with lower range.

Test drove the lucid air and i have to say loved the drive its so much wider inside than any Tesla and kinda loved the concept better than tesla but they are more money than some tesla models and they also don’t do any trade ins at all so Lucid will have to wait since im trying to get out of my latest lease so Tesla model 3 or Cadillac lyriq will be my choice.

[@mkashay]

On the cables, they sell ones with a 90-degree connector.

[@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...

hey dave which camera you are recording on at the starting of your video and is it an iphone, also if it is how is your audio so clear?

[@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!

[@KaiPonte]

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.

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.

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!

I wonder why is it that the US is so incapable of sorting out the charging situation? In some part of the world it's a nonissue and not something you'd even have to consider while choosing a car. Currently out of what's available in the US connector wise, the nacs seem like a winning option due to inertia alone, so why not just roll with it for now - it's not like 3 phase power is around the corner in most US locations. But even so, the protocol is essentially CCS for all cars, so how in the name of ass are EA and others incapable of doing something that is commonplace in many parts of the world? Granted, using CCS2 but still.
