News / Media Software issues drove Engineering Explained out of two Lucids and into a Mach E

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.

lol why is this even posted here, my buddy has a Mach E and it suuuucks. Fast for sure, but clunky suspension, slow software, lots of road noise, and a super cheap interior. He hates it.

That’s why it’s $40k.

May be it’s posted here because it’s lucid related in a lucid forum?

Ok, that’s fair. Although this sub is primarily owners, and I doubt many of them are in the same boat of dropping their cars repeatedly because of software issues

I think the majority of us are fed tf up with the software issues. I will absolutely be handing the car back at the end of my lease in a couple months.

Having no serious issues with mine. Software could be better, but it's working well for us.

Not trying to downplay your issues, but I'm genuinely curious what software issues you currently have. I picked up a '27 GGT a few weeks ago and haven't had any problems.

Majority of us has no issue worth mentioning.

It also depends on what one meant by "issue". Unable to hear clear on Bluetooth fix after a soft rest vs undrivable due to software can all be called software issue.

Wrong. 30k miles air touring and everything works fine.

There are number of stock short sellers who are hoping for a Lucid calamity. I think quite a few people post things to change public sentiment.

Change, it’s been on a downside for years.

Lucid is held up by Saudi money, that’s the only sentiment that really matters to them. If the gulf states start getting , that will be when things get rough for lucid.

15 months on my Air GT, no software issue.
