always hated matte screens for this reason, just ruins the clarity/saturation.

LustForLife

wow that is terrible

LustForLife

felt like I was watching a bad fanfiction lol

100% agree. animation was cool but it felt like a forced avengers movie moment. He's an all powerful god that out scales everyone at this point. He was putting hollow holes in everyone in all realms leaving damage that would probably kill most of those hit.  would rather have it where he just where takes down everyone in the hollow and human world fights, then gets hit with the arrow and ichigo does the final blow to keep it in line with the manga ending. 

honestly I prefer the manga fight at this point lol. even though it was far too rushed  it focused on the characters that matter and could feasibly affect full power yhwach. it didn't waste time on absolute fodder tier characters who probably should have evaporated while trying to approach yhwach due to the reitsu difference lol.

Haha it's a nice perk I guess, have had random people say they like the car when walking to it, asking how it is. Had a guy in a black ferrari behind me take a pic of my back while stopped at a light ( I was looking because his rari was nice haha).

Favorite moment was on the highway and a guy on a motorcycle (not a harley prob a Yamaha) pulled up next to me and started waving, gave the 👌 sign, assumed he liked the car/spec (all black/stealth/tinted 20 rims with aero removed and yellow calipers), then drove away to exit the highway.

I do wish the back looked a little better, prob the worst angle of the car, but having it all black helps the trunk panel backs and makes it look more sporty imo

when I first got my lucid last year I purchased without seeing the colors in person, just videos/pics. Had some thoughts of the fathom blue stealth, but after seeing the fathom blue stealth and other colors  in person was glad I stuck with the black/stealth. with tints it's prob the best overall color combo imo.

LustForLife

yeah that sucks, but it seems to be only cosmetic thankfully. I'd deffo want everything fixed beforehand. if you switch cars instead would you be able to get the same spec? if not, as long as you have a car to use and can wait, i'd prob wait for everything to be fixed and maybe ask for some discount for the trouble waiting haha

LustForLife

dont listen to him, you have a newer version and the QC has improved from initial batches. i've had mine for over a year (2025) and love it. software glitches were there initially but cleared after a soft reset, but tbh haven't noticed any issues over the last 6 months. I can't recall the last time i had to reset the car's infotainment system

LustForLife

thats a steal wow, pretty much brand new with the extras (wish i got PPF for the front since the stealth parts chip easy). take off the wheel inserts to get an even more aggressive look

LustForLife

true it's still pretty unknown. i had to ask the tinting place i went to if they've ever done one before. they've done exotics/luxuries before since it was a legit place but i had them take a look at the car before they did it just to be sure. thankfully one of their guys had done an air in the past and we did everything but the windshield and no issues (guy didn't even have to take off the door panels for the side windows). im still considering getting the windshield to finish the look but just worried about the potential electronics issue i've read about if the water from tinting goes to far down the windshield...

LustForLife

did you do any tinting or ppf/ceramic coating?

LustForLife

how'd it do against the Turbo S? i was considering getting a taycan since i was only looking for an EV before getting the lucid, feel like i made the better choice overall, i really do like having the extra space. plus the car is more rare overall which i like haha, see way more porche's, vette's, BMW, and of course Model S's where I'm at. only seen a couple air's where I'm at over the last few years.

LustForLife

has anyone tried to race you before while driving? feel like most people don't even know what a lucid is, let alone recognize a sapphire, would be funny though for a tune car/ supercar to get smoked on the highway or a stoplight haha

LustForLife

hell yeah, i've been driving more on sprint (only have an AT atm) more frequently recently. Usually keep on swift for the stiffer suspension since the roads i drive on aren't the best, but the extra power on highway for passing/overtaking is pretty nice. do you have to always switch to sapphire mode everytime you drive the car, or does it save it for you?

LustForLife

stealth is the way to go for any color config tbh, the two tone platinum/chrome look makes the car look like an old man's car imo.

LustForLife

damn congrats, one day i'll upgrade to a sapphire, such a monster of a car, what mode do you usually drive it on?

LustForLife

lmaoooo

LustForLife

very good

LustForLife

lucid leases seem more strict judging by the lucidowners forum posts, wouldn't be surprised if they charge a tint removal fee at time of turn in

LustForLife

lmfao

LustForLife

the hardware of the car is impeccable, unfortunately the software experience still needs a lot of work. had to soft/hard reset my car 2-3 times within first 500 miles (3-4 days). haven't had a big issue that couldn't be fixed with a reset. generally the mobile support line is easy to talk with and they'll follow up with you with calls to check if everything is ok, so the service itself when something goes wrong with the software is pretty solid. hopefully they'll fix your car quick. best car i've ever driven overall tho, love my air.

LustForLife

how was the pickup experience? going to get mine soon (same colorway too). Do they let you drive it around a little to make sure everything is as expected?

LustForLife

Tekken fits

LustForLife

lmao

LustForLife

it really changes the song for the worse tbh. listened to the Miami version the other day and it's a lot better
