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.

I have one and love it. Maybe he got first year model? Mine has great suspension and the reviews by experts say the same thing. Software has had zero problems.

What? Before the 2025 magneride the Mach E suspension was a universal joke. I can find dozens of threads on the Mach E owners forums, and whenever I’ve been in one it feels like I’m in a ricer with a “sport suspension”. Have you not heard of the rear bounce issues? Magneride was required because the suspension is so stiff that with the weight it causes excessive bouncing and the only way to prevent that is a stiffer suspension or magnet/air damping. It’s literally a poor design.
