Incident 1: While driving to work, accelerated to pass a car on the right going approx 45 MPH. The dash showed a RED "Drive System Fault" and the car would no longer accelerate.

I was able to pull off the main road to the entrance of a housing development and coasted to a stop about 20 feet off the main road. There was no power to turn on the flashers to warning other drivers existing the main road. Total tim…

The car would accelerate spontaneously both from a stopped position as well as while moving. The brake pedal was able to slow and stop the car. The car is set to not roll when stopped and has regenerative braking when the accelerator is released, the exact opposite of what is supposed to occur is what happened. The company was contacted.

Owner report 11538590 · 2023-08-15 (August 15, 2023)
My lucid air’s emergency brakes have misjudged a situation and caused the car to lock its brakes for 3 seconds, making it inoperable. The first time happened on the interstate and the vehicle behind me had to go into the median to keep from rear ending me. I was completely stopped on a busy interstate. The second time, this morning, I was maneuvering around a vehicle into an open lane and the emergency brakes locked up. It had been raining and this caused the Lucid to slide directly into the vehicle I was maneuvering around. I was complete…
