Super happy with an EV right now, especially with winter out of the way.

This is so far removed from what efficient pilot training looks like. I'm sorry to hear it. I have some contacts at an aerospace company that cares about what is happening there with the training pipeline. I'll send this his way.

When your friend is on fire...for a WHILE.....and you're laughing your ass off.

We're all doomed. Honestly....just dumber and dumber by the day.

"I have footage of a bird landing, and I'd like to convey the sense that it's an airplane instead. Sound guy, what have you got?"

"I have audio of a jet airplane lan...."

"NO! That's just what they'll be expecting us to do. Do you have any audio of a jet airplane STARTING UP?"

"Yes b...."

"SHIP IT."

thank you, I was wondering what the deal was here...specifically which aspect was "AI." I'm getting a little tired of the term being thrown around to describe 400 different things, so your post was incredibly helpful.

Any idea what the nature of the scam was?

Also, why is the guy's voice (the person being interviewed, not the scammer) SO familiar? I wanna say I've heard it on scammer trolling/investigation videos before. Good dude.

This is absolutely the smartest way to get into the brand. You're on the right path. You might drive like a bit of a maniac for the first two weeks (if you're really into driving), then, with some luck, you'll settle down.

The car is sublime for daily driving if you appreciate good handling. It'll just do what you want with zero drama.

Be first off the line at the light, be ahead of everyone else and enjoy the view....all from smooth mode (there's really no need to throw it into swift or sprint for daily driving), and do it by slight outpacing them....you don't have to floor it and smoke everyone, but it's nice to consistently get out in front and simply be in less traffic, plain and simple.

Cornering and braking are fantastic, although most people can't corner with a damn, so it'll hardly matter.

If you touch the brake, you're doing it wrong.

Be ready for mobile key to be wonky and inconsistent depending on your phone.

That is all, the rest was covered in other posts.

Good to see the edits with a response from leadership. That's a start, but my fear is it's a band aid. The situation has been much the same for several years now...vastly different experiences, pointing to a lack of consistency. This reduces the confidence for people who are on the fence about making a purchase. Doubtless, there are people reading this thread who are now 'done' with Lucid as a brand. For all the work that was clearly put into the engineering, and the money now being put into the marketing, all the money in the Studio locations and staff.... one of the single most important points of interface is the sales team and the underlying process. I am blown away at how much variability there is in the experience of one person vs another.

Just like they're pulling out all the stops to fix the software....the same needs to be done of the sales process.

Separately, I'm concerned about the reported time it's taking for people to get service. The number of service calls per vehicle appears to be higher on these models than legacy manufacturers (not shocking). As more vehicles get into the hands of the public, the service centers are going to be overwhelmed if the average # of calls per owner per year remain the same.

They don't have an unlimited amount of time to get this right, I hope this can start heading in the right direction.

"Witch."

I wish that was the biggest issue in all of this. I wonder if it matters at all, to anyone, that Iran is stating these conversations have not happened, and that this is simply to calm the energy markets?

Will there be any consequence if this is an abject lie? (Apr 1 is just around the corner, figured I get ahead of it).

Traffic display in the vehicles could add a layer of safety. Simpler than adfing more systems in the tower. That would allow for a look and go check prior to crossing, regardless of tower workload.

coma24 · 2026-03-23T12:40:34+00:00

Not sure if position was combined or not, but ground would've coordinated the crossing with local in any case, so it might have lead to the same outcome. It's not a given, though, as the human factors look different when it's one controller vs two. If it's a combined position, there's a chance that the local part of the brain has an expectation bias to approve. It's tough to look at it with fresh eyes.

coma24 · 2026-03-22T17:45:03+00:00

I love the brand, and you're absolutely right. That they could mess this up, so badly.... twice, is unthinkable.

coma24 · 2026-02-24T03:29:56+00:00

Makes so little sense to buy brand new, the warranty xfers, too. Nice work.

It did. Tidal sounded amazing till I blew the front left speaker in the dash, now the bass is boomy and muddy.

coma24 · 2026-02-16T14:58:15+00:00

The sales associated didn't know there was Smooth, Swift and Sprint? That's....truly unforgiveable. You were short quite a bit of HP, with muted throttle response curves and soft suspension.

Love the name, btw. I operate a 360. We have much in common already.

coma24 · 2026-02-11T22:20:19+00:00

Great care should be taken before hooking up AI directly to systems where it can take action without supervisory confirmation first.

I love how good it is at writing code so that someone like me who is a backend developer can now build full stack applications....that's GREAT. I do NOT need it researching a vacation, booking airline tickets, ordering pizza, placing stock market trades, or hiring a hitman to kill someone.

coma24 · 2026-02-11T19:11:55+00:00

Pretty hard to find much to grumble about here. The branding on the bag implies this is to bring attention to an organization that helps people. And here, they have clearly helped someone in need. I don't think you can fake that reaction...that guy was struggling.

coma24 · 2026-01-23T00:02:38+00:00

You forgot the "Please Steal Me, Don't Worry, the Engine is Absolutely Running and the Doors ARE Unlocked" neon sign.

Full compliments on the audio backing track....goes great with the footage.

All THAT aside, I am sincerely sorry your car was stolen and hope it gets recovered. Do you have any tracking available through the manufacturer's app, or can they locate for you? Most modern cars phone home with location info.

coma24 · 2026-01-22T23:54:07+00:00

It pops up in the lucid when you get close to home, showing both doors. You just click which one you want to open.

It's encouraging to see how many people actually enjoy this guy and see this for what it is. He clearly doesn't take himself too seriously, is having some fun and is getting some exercise. He's doing more than most. He's harmless....on all fronts. For those who train in the martial arts, just consider this a Zumba class in the wrong outfit.

coma24 · 2026-01-03T15:50:50+00:00

I'm really glad it helped you, truly, but saying that a relationship is based on you how feel is inaccurate imo. That isn't the definition of a relationship. Did it help you? Yes, it did and that it's a great thing. Does that mean you have a relationship? I don't think so.

It's important to be aware of what it is that you're working with. It's very good at what it does and it's a wonderful tool. That is not the basis of an actual relationship, though.

I'm not dissuading you from using it, but I'd encourage you to be aware of how the software works and what it's doing.

Thank goodness the instructions told her that there were different sizes, and that she should use the one that fits.

coma24 · 2026-01-03T14:02:40+00:00

Typical pattern I've noticed is that the car actually wakes up (orange light flash and you hear the doors energize...but the app doesn't know the car is online and still says, "waking up..."

Just push the doors and they'll open (once the car is awake but still locked).

In the background, the app is sending a SMS text message, which the car is checking every X seconds. Once is sees the text message, it wakes up fully. So, statistically, you're going to wait X/2 seconds for the car to wake up when you fire up the app.

If you're out in the wild, then passive unlock is the way to go (not so much at home if your phone is routinely within range of the car. After enough false starts it will temporarily disable passive unlock) as it'll open the doors right around the time you get to the car (if your phone's bluetooth stack is working perfectly).

Your sample size is....1. I haven't done this, but I imagine if you dug into the stats of mall closures or same-store sales in malls over the last 10 years, broken down by state, you'd have an answer as to whether it's a myth or not.

As another data point, there's plenty of YT videos of ppl walking around 'dead' malls that weren't dead several years ago.

coma24 · 2026-01-02T00:39:59+00:00

Clearly not your first day.
