Owner complaint summary
We have a long, approximately 70 yards, driveway. When backing up and reaching 5 mph the car brakes violently, causing me to make a three-point turn around so I go out facing forward Every software update, and I’ve; lost count in February alone, breaks our profiles and causes me to have to redo our profiles Often, 2 to 3 times per week, while driving in town (not on the highway using “Dream Drive/ Cruise Control”) the car will start to brake, warning me to pay attention and keep my hands on the wheel, all the while I have both hands on the wheel and I am driving the vehicle When starting often times the reverse camera will not work for up to 30 seconds Incorrect mileage range – I charged the vehicle to full with a range of 400 plus mile showing – I drove to Columbus Ohio – 70 miles aways at posted speed limits, with no aggressive acceleration, no additional weight (just me at 180 lbs) and when I reached Columbus I showed a range of 230 miles remaining and when I returned home I was under 100 miles remaining. Recap – range of 437 miles to start, traveled 141 miles, and had 89 miles remaining. The primary reason I purchased the Lucid over other EV manufacturers, was the range. Completely misleading and the car is now used only for local trips/in-town trips.
