This seems like sensationalism. Framing an optional $950 processor upgrade as a "serious hardware problem." The older Lucid Air models work perfectly fine on their existing software, and offering an official hardware retrofit to run the newest interface is actually a surprisingly pro-consumer move compared to traditional automakers who abandon older chipsets. When you consider that replacing a single broken LED taillight assembly on a modern Cadillac Escalade or Chevy Tahoe routinely costs over $1,000 for parts and labor, paying under $950 to give a four-year-old vehicle's infotainment system modern computing power is a very reasonable cost for luxury car maintenance.
US automaker Lucid Motors is rolling out new software for its EVs, but early buyers of the luxury Lucid Air face an expensive surprise. With their processors already underpowered after just 2 years, owners will have to take their cars to a service center for the UX update, a more or less shocking wake-up call for the used EV market.
