Test Drive the GT

Gladiator said:

I have gotten a chance to test drive the Lucid GT and here is my feedback:

1. The car looks gorgeous from the outside and inside.
2. I was concerned about the suspension compared to the air suspension that Tesla has but actually, it was excellent and I liked it more than the air suspension.
3. The message feature is just amazing
4. The Tahoe interior looks fabulous.
5. I did not like the driving modes as I would like to be in Sprint mode with a regular suspension setting (not a stiff) all the time
6. the screen and software were lagging but they mentioned this could be fixed with v2.0
7. The Lucid HomeLink is way behind. It does not have the location service to open/close the garage door while approaching at pre-selected feet from the home.
8. A lot of plastic squeaks were coming from the steering wheel while driving and turning!
9. The plastic materials for the cup holder had a lot of scratches. They need to change the plastic material that was used.
10. The door handle felt very flimsy.
11. The charging gate is not well-engineered. It can be tilted by hand and it may scratch the paint while opening.
12. The wireless charger station is useless. There is no way to charge any iPhone with an Apple case. This needs to be redesigned.
13. The front motor is loud compared to other EVs.

I hope they will have DD Pro included in all Lucid versions until they develop the software.
The car overall is great and my negative feedback above is for Lucid to address to beat all other competitors.

If anyone from Lucid Motors is on this forum. This is what the charging ports look like on the Cadillac Lyriq below, anything less is not appropriate for vehicles $65K + category. Also, the wireless phone charging works flawlessly in the test drive on the Lyriq with Max iphone with Apple cover charging no issue. During the Lucid Air test drive the same phone did not charge, and after pushing the charge rate was pretty weak. Please change your supplier for wireless phone charging, cup holder and USB ports. Look at how beautiful the ones in the pic below are and they look pretty solid. This is also plastic and probably cost the same, need the right supplier and design.
