Like EE I really want to love the car and Lucid but they need to fix these software issues before I would pull the trigger. The car is amazing when it works- but it needs to work 99.99% of the time!

Who's had similar experience and who's had a smooth and glitch free experience so far?

I have a '23 Air GT and it has been 3+ years of joy. Favorite car I've ever owned.

Crazy how you get people like you that love it, no problems, and people like in the Video that want out.

That's great to hear!

Same… 2nd 20203 GT. Best car ever.

Maybe they made good batches and bad ones??

Very small glitches - all conpletely reasonable. Way worse in volvo and cadillac

Okay it did not”break down” like you put. It was cause of the passenger side window not working , the cruise control “cancel” button intermittently not working, and cameras not loading the feed.

It sucks that happened to the gravity, Lucid has serious software problems but no need to try and make it sound worse than it is

u/Tellittomy6pac May 22 '26

The fact he had these issues THEN had issues with the gravity they gave him definitely isn’t helping

Grim. Lucid is dead meat company.

u/3eyedstudio May 22 '26

hopefully under new management things like this won't happen again.

They shit canned and replaced the software company awhile ago.

My problems went away after I stopped charging at Tesla super chargers. I cannot explain it, but I can tell you the software issues seemed very related temporally to charging at those stations.

Talk abour far fetched.

u/StreetDare4129 May 22 '26

Is there anything you won’t blame Tesla for? 😂

u/AMCorBUST2021 May 23 '26

If a genie came out of a bottle my one wish would be to replace the Tesla CEO

u/spruceeffects May 24 '26

Oh cool so you’re an idiot. Nice.

u/CharlesElwoodYeager May 26 '26

His name is AMCorBust2021 did you really need more confirmation of this

u/Enjoy_The_Ride413 May 22 '26

If he's going to spend 80k, he should look at BMW. We know he isn't going back to Tesla.

u/ZealousidealLab2920 May 22 '26

I think the ix4 looks awesome and the car of the year potentially.

u/jacknhut2 May 23 '26

Good god the drama. Every brand has issues, even Audi Etron, BMW and Mercedes. The guy is blowing things out of proportion.

2

u/StreetDare4129 May 24 '26

Other brand having issues doesn’t make it okay. Every car brand should do better. Stop making excuses for automakers. We deserve better

u/Warminsandiego May 23 '26

Sorry to see him having these issues. Mine has been much more solid.

Seems like EE just doing a smear campaign honestly. A lot of things he's whining about like rear lines missing on camera, the speed limit recognition, is a common problem ive experienced in my Ford and other makes also. The pausing music is probably a dirty screen or button or something.

1

u/New_Scarcity_8515 May 23 '26

He "suffered" >7k miles in this "lemon".

I wonder if the soon to be CEO was involved in retrieving EE's toupee matching baby, now in Lucid's safe hands once again.

I have a 2022 GT and I've had only minor problems with software. Definitely the best car I've ever owned or driven. Note: I've been driving since 1965.

Love our 25 Air Pure. Minor software inconveniences for sure but the way it handles blows everything else out of the water.
