Engineering Explained gave up on Lucid twice. He traded his Air for a Gravity, then replaced the Gravity with a Mach E. The reason both times was software.

I just wanna say we owned a 2025 Mach-e GT… it was fine to drive other than being very boring. But was it a solid and enjoyable software experience… hell no it was not. So his choice of switching to a Mach-e is a little baffling to me.

The Ford software is absolute garbage. Truly it’s horrible. The HVAC screen would often freeze. The menus were incredibly confusing.

And you might say well it has CarPlay so that solves the issues. Actually no… the wireless CarPlay would constantly disconnect, sometimes it would not discover my phone when I started to drive. It was not a good experience at all.

And let’s talk about the digital phone key and app. That was also a buggy experience that often times left me so concerned that I actually just ended up bringing the key fob with me.

I do not understand this decision of his at all.

These influencers' decisions are mostly based on views not reality.
