    Quote

    2022 Lucid Air suffered a total loss of power without any warning at approximately 10 PM on July 29, 2023, while driving 65+ mph on the Jersey Turnpike. The car’s dashboard suddenly flashed “System Failure” and immediately started to decelerate. I had approximately 30 seconds to weave across 2 lanes of high speed traffic as the car steadily lost speed and fortunately there was a shoulder just wide enough for the car before it totally stopped forward progress.

    OUCH, that sucks. Hopefully they can get it resolved sooner rather than later.

    I thought the update was a notification of the issue, but it is an actual fix then. Got it. my bad.

    Edited the article to make that more clear.
