Is the Air your first EV or have you owned others? Tesla?THE GOOD:
1. It’s a head-turner pretty much on par with Ferraris and Lambos (maybe not 2-3 years from now when there are more on the road but now? Oh yeah).
2. Dammit, it’s fun to drive! I’m gonna get some speeding tickets, just a matter of time. Drives like a dream.
3.The interior is beautiful, luxurious and roomy. Everyone who has ridden in the car just gushes about it. This is where Lucid just kicks Tesla’s ass.
THE BAD:
1. The lane-centering thing sucks; once I figured out how to turn it off, the driving experience improved by 50%.
2. The glass roof is beautiful, impressive, all that, but if the car is left in the hot Florida sun, it DOES heat up and it heats up the car. I would still get the glass roof on my car - it’s THAT COOL 😎 - but I make extra efforts to find shady spots to park.
3.The infotainment system is frustrating. I find myself just using Apple Car Play for most everything; it’s much simpler.
THE UGLY:
There’s no Ugly. It’s a gorgeous car. Period.
The lane centering feature is my least favorite thing on the car. It pulls the car in ways and at times I don’t want it pulled, and to me, it feels almost dangerous. It’s a great car to drive, and I want to be driving it myself, not feel like the car is fighting me.Hey @JayColl56 welcome to the forum and congrats on getting your Air Touring! Glad to hear you're liking it so much! Yeah you're going to have to be careful with how fast and quick it is haha.
What issues have you had with the infotainment and lane centering?
This is my first EV but I’ve driven several Teslas before getting my LucidIs the Air your first EV or have you owned others? Tesla?
I hate the lane centering. This is a wonderful car to drive and the lane centering thing wants to drive the car for you, and not in a good way. It pulls the car when it shouldn’t (IMHO) and to me it feels borderline dangerous. I had this on a rental BMW driving through the NC mountains in the rain and I felt like I was going to go into a spin fighting the pull when I would switch lanes.Hey @JayColl56 welcome to the forum and congrats on getting your Air Touring!

The screen showing charging stations defaults to EA stations only, but there's a button at the top right of the screen to show all stations. I'm on vacation away from my car, so I can't describe it more accurately. But it's always been there in mine.The lane centering feature is my least favorite thing on the car.

I will acknowledge that my (minor) struggles with the infotainment system might be partially due to my lack of tech savvy and my (tech-averse) age. But I can’t seem to get the navigation system to show all the charging stations (not just EA) along the route. The Navigation system is generally frustrating enough that I just use Apple Car Play and the navigation system there instead.
Again, none of these issues change my opinion about this being a fantastic car. Absolutely beautiful and a blast to drive.
I’ve had my Touring almost 5 months and absolutely love it. The OTA updates have been making steady improvements in many aspects. Believe it or not, the lane centering has actually gotten a little less worse. It’s still absolutely horrible and yes maybe even dangerous. Biggest complaint by far. As for the car heating up in the sun—have you tried using the Lucid app to lower the temperature before getting to the car? On the main app screen tap the fan icon and set the temp lower.

Yea Lucid Dream Drive is a joke. I turn off all of Dream Drive features as it does not work. Lucid has a long way to go before Dream Drive is functional. If your looking into buying a Lucid today and you are getting a model lower than the Air GT don’t waste your money on Dream Drive.I hate the lane centering.

In the nav menu pull up the search screen. Tap Charging - there is a toggle for EA only.

One of the first thing I did was disable the lane centering---agree, it is dangerous. Also agree that much easier to use Apple Car Play. Definitely a beautiful car---got mine last July and have loved every minute.The lane centering feature is my least favorite thing on the car.

That’s a very good idea. Hadn’t done that yet; but I will start. It’s been unusually hot already in Central Florida and it’s not even summer yet.I’ve had my Touring almost 5 months and absolutely love it.

True that we can turn it off. But I paid $9k (if I remember correctly) so that I could get my car by Dec 31 and get the $7500 tax credit. I shouldn’t have to turn off a $9k feature to drive my car safely.You can turn it off.
Mine is an Air Touring, and I declined the Dream Drive and the super duper (that’s not really what it’s called 😉) sound system. I did get the glass roof, which is pretty freaking cool.Yea Lucid Dream Drive is a joke. I turn off all of Dream Drive features as it does not work.
