    Supercharger Access Timeline Discussion

    I think pretty much every company who has made an agreement with the SuperCharger network has been a bit behind their initial predictions. These sorts of deals take time. I wouldn't put the blame on either party. It's complicated getting these things hashed out. The important thing is Gravity...

    Gravity owner review on reddit, great car awful software -(lather, rinse and repeat same mistakes as the Air)

    Step one: Have opinion that is based on nothing but "Vibes" Step two: Find anyone on the internet who agrees with your pre-conceived opinion. Anyone will do. Doesn't matter if they provide facts or anything to back themselves up. Step three: Your vibe is now fact. Do not, under any...

    Taking Care of the Battery - Suggestions from Battery Engineer from Lucid

    This question comes up a lot for people new to EVs, for good reason. It can be daunting trying to learn how to take care of such an expensive piece of kit. But let me settle your mind quickly: Unless you are a complete dolt who treats the battery with zero regard, you'll be just fine. All of...

    Please, would you jump in with my baggage?

    The decision is yours, of course. Weigh it carefully. But I'll add my anecdotal two-cents by saying my Air has been a joy. Very few issues. Almost all of my problems were things that happened to me through bad luck. (Drove over a nail, minor fender bender, rock hitting the windshield, etc.)...

    Feedback to the Lucid User Interface team from fresh owner

    The steering wheel delay is all hardware limitation. Literally nothing the software team can do to improve the delay. I believe Gravity solves this. My guess is we’ll see a new steering wheel design on Air eventually. But for now, nothing they can do with existing hardware. I seldom use the...

    The best intentions to stave off battery degradation

    Yes. And keep in mind that this number is the end of an equation that none of us fully understands. Lucid has never said what the “health” number means exactly. So take it with a grain of salt.

    The best intentions to stave off battery degradation

    The thing about guidelines is that they are guidelines. They aren’t holy scripture. Charge your car as needed and don’t think about it. These batteries are built to take a lot of punishment. All the crazy inconveniences people put themselves through to help save a tenth of a percentage of...

    Locked Out

    I’ve accidentally left my phone in the car, or the fob in the frunk a few times. And the doors locked. Then I tapped on the door handle and it unlocked. Because it saw the fob. That’s what’s supposed to happen and I was glad it did. I agree with @Amster that I’d ideally want the door handles...

    Locked Out

    “A ton of people here will tell you…” That’s not putting words in other people’s mouths? Listen, wherever your particular axe to grind is, you’re obviously not winning anyone over here. We’re all for respectful discourse and of course differences of opinions. But you are making it quite clear...

    Locked Out

    You really like to put words in other people’s mouths and thoughts in their heads. How about trying to stick with your own thoughts and your own head? The rest of us can speak for ourselves.

    25 GT came without floor mat posts

    Are you sure that's a 2025? The newer cars should definitely be coming with posts now. I'd check with Lucid to see if they messed something up.

    Lucid Air's Number One Software Issue?

    I always feel bad for people who seem to have constant issues. I have none at this point, which is why I’m not convinced all of these annoyances are strictly the fault of software on its own. Rather, it’s the combination of software and perhaps intermittently malfunctioning hardware. Also, the...

    RESOLVED Android Auto Thursday

    Ha. And of course, as soon as I say that, Apple announces this: https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2025/05/carplay-ultra-the-next-generation-of-carplay-begins-rolling-out-today/

    RESOLVED Android Auto Thursday

    In fairness, literally no one has CarPlay 2 yet. That’s on Apple. None of the promised manufacturers has shipped a single car with it. So, something is very wrong with how it’s being rolled out.

    gravity manual?

    I would definitely like an exterior button for the frunk. I use the frunk on my Air all the time. Gravity, if anything, has an even more useful frunk, thanks to the ability to use it as a bench for changing into hiking shoes, snow cleats, etc. It’s the sole reason I continue to carry the fob...
