Welp, that escalated quickly.

I had a previous deposit on a Lucid but as others note a sedan wasn’t going to work, nor was lack of real local service support, nor was SA sponsorship. The aesthetics also don’t do it for me though many feel differently.

Regardless, the Lucid‘s technology is wildly impressive. Sure the battery tech, range, and performance are eye popping. But the cockpit, UI, controls, and quality of fit and finish are superb - for any vehicle.

I’m seriously considering getting an Air Sapphire.

You should stop deciding for other people what is important to them.
You should stop putting people's lives at risk because you think your text message is more important.

Normally, I love a good chick fight. But this one is so - unsatisfying. No bikinis, no mud, no cleavage, nothing landed.

If it's one thing I'm good at, it's disappointing people.

How dare you have a different opinion than me. I see only one way to settle this.

We all need to email [email protected] and keep requesting CarPlay! I don't understand why Rivian and Tesla insist on dedicating resources into an area that Apple and Google can outspend 1000 to 1, and have been doing so for years. Allow CarPlay and Android Auto to do what they do best, and Rivian needs to stick to making its vehicles the best possible! It's actually dangerous that you cannot hear or speak text messages, as many people will want to do so, and can in any car with CarPlay....

I hope the people playing with their phones get ticketed for it. Still waiting for the first complainer here to post on it and say "Rivian made me do it!" Actually maybe those "Rivian Lied!" guys will be the first?

Then DONT TEXT.
I‘ve recently found the ignore feature works amazingly well on this forum. Let’s do each other a favor and add one another. You’ll find less need to CAPS LOCK post on TEH INTERNETz.
