The Lucid drive assist feature gets confused by lane splitting motorcycles in California. This incident has occurred to me multiple times, including most recently today. I drive in the high occupancy vehicle Lane, and during rush hour in the evening commute the left lane drives at somewhere between 20 to 30 mph. Lane splitting motorcycles are able to go slightly faster than that, at around 30 to 40 mph. When Elaine's splitting motorcycle passes between my car and the next one over, the drive ass
UNKNOWN. I leased a 2025 Lucid Air on June 19, 2025, and quickly began to experience a sense of inner ear fullness and dizziness from driving the vehicle that often lasts for days. I immediately notified Lucid, but the company did not attempt a repair or suggest measures to address the issue. Instead, the company said that I was on my own and stopped responding. I suspect that the issue is rooted in the high- or low-frequency sounds that the EV makes, but I don't know for certain. In any ca
I am reporting a safety concern involving the airbag system of my 2025 Lucid Air (VIN: [XXX] ). I brought the vehicle to Lucidâs Tysons, VA service center due to a thumping sensation in the steering wheel while turning. On [XXX] Lucid diagnosed the issue as internal play in the bracket that mounts the driver airbag. Instead of replacing the bracket or steering wheel assembly, the technician applied âsound dampening tapeâ to eliminate movement and reinstalled the original parts. This raise

Myself and numerous other Lucid Air drivers of all different trim levels are unable to reliably shift out of park and into drive or reverse when entering our cars. This problem has gotten worse with a recent software update and Lucid seems to be acting slowly to fix it. It is a very dangerous thing to have a car that cannot be moved into drive or reverse when needed. Moving the stalk up or down does nothing. Sometimes in 10 to 20 seconds, or sometimes after a few minutes the car will full âtur
I was stopped at a traffic light, two or three cars behind the line. My car was in Auto-Hold mode, with my foot resting lightly on the brake. I briefly turned my head to move a jacket from the center console to the passenger seat when, without warning, the car suddenly accelerated on its own. I panicked and slammed on the brakes, but given the short distance, my car rear-ended the one in front of me, which then hit the car ahead of it. Both my vehicle and the one directly in front sustained sig
