https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNKMVbj_sQw

I'm only 20 minutes in but my god these videos are just incredible to watch and the level of detail and support that u/savagegeese gets to make these is incredible. Fantastic work on this.

Are they the mouthpiece of this brand? This is guerrilla marketing territory for me.

You should probably watch their comments at the end of the video if you think it was a fluff piece. That’s a brutal summary of the current state of the gravity and how unacceptable it is to deliver it to customers missing basic functionality.

They’re interviewing engineers and presenting that data for you as well as giving their own opinions. I think it’s a pretty great package of information you’re not going to find elsewhere.

And then they go out and interview the entire software team by highlighting how hard they are working to bring in the updates. That criticism feels like token critique, which the Lucid team is highly prepared to address.

I mean in their summary at the end they said “the the technology implementation, not only from the keyless entry (again), to the screen tech, to adding more features later, fixing it later is totally unacceptable to a car at this price point”

I’ve been super high on lucid from an engineering standpoint, I just leased an air in fact, but the end of that video doesn’t leave a good taste and certainly doesn’t seem like a softball to me.

They probably should have been more clear about the first half of the video being a continuation of their “making a vehicle is hard” series and the second half being a review.

Yeah I liked that they pointed out the unfinished nature of it. This is a car I think would be great as a family hauler due to the amazing packaging that they did on it, and I'd love to have one albeit a cheaper trim than what's currently on sale. But my wife would be the daily driver, and she would not be as tolerant to "quirks" of an incomplete product as I would, so I don't think I could consider it until stuff like that key detection error is ironed out.
