I'm confused. Is Lucid good or bad?

Can't be any worse than Toyota. Please at least tell us that.

The business of building good cars, like good airplanes (Not you 737-Max, not you DC-10/MD-11), is super expensive and a lot of these EV startups are finding out how expensive it is so it's no surprise that someone like Lucid is dropping the ball on things.

Well so much for buying the gravity then. If the can’t even get the air right how long will I have to wait for them to fix the gravity and all its issues

So on the video, I believe the heated seats on the rear come on based on temperature and occupancy. When we test drove the Gravity the heated seat came on automatically. He probably has automatic on and doesn't know.

Other stuff like the carplay flipping on issue is common on BMW as well. You turn the car on and it picks up whatever it picks up. The other stuff like not connecting also happens on iDrive 8 and up, our X5 occasionally goes nuts and needs a soft reset to clear it's buffers or stack or something. That's why I have said the latest iterations of iDrive has gone backwards. Seems to be a common issue across multiple brands.

I've also had the music cut out on the X3 and X5, and I've heard of it happening on other brands. One time I had only tweeters and no mid and lower speakers on it was trippy.

But yeah I'd avoid the Gravity, it's a wait until year 3 or 4 kind of car. Tesla took a long time to work out it's kinks, same with Rivian. VW is trying to figure out it's shit with their ID line.

Since you guys hate plastic so much in cars (especially Toyota!) have you guys heard of Dacora Motors? Apparently, there is no plastic in the interior of their cars.

They also only start at $500K USD.
