Owner complaint summary

It appears that Lucid has a defect with the design of their airbags. I have been able to replicate sitting in every Lucid Air vehicle I have tried an issue I discovered with mine which will cause the passenger airbag to constantly turn in and off during driving. This has been escalated to the highest levels of Lucid where the statement is that the bags comply with NHTSA standards and I just need to change the way I am sitting. I have never had this issue in any other vehicles. So my belief is that there is either a fundamental design flaw with the implementation of the passenger airbag monitoring, or that the NHTSA testing standards are not sufficient. I have recorded how I sit and shared this information with Lucid. I will be happy to send to NHTSA as well.
