I wonder if they updated it for the newer cars? My Lucid water bottle fits in my Pure's cupholders
Feedback/improvements for the Air!

That's one of the few that actually fit!
The Luci cupholders are not as bad as other owners perceived. Here is a picture of the Caddy XT4 center console cupholders. It is just big enough to fit a MCD small coffee.
But not to worry, he will reregister as Lucid's best friend.

Don't think I came across this in previous wishes - currently homelink menu pops up automatically when you get near the location you set up homelink. I'd like the ability to choose the location (like tapping a point on the map) to select a different location to use for auto showing the homelink menu. The reason for this is because there are some places that are inconvenient to be setting up homelink, such as in front of a community's security gate, so I configure it from the comfort of my garage.
I have found that the radius when the menu comes up is large enough that you don’t have to be at the exact spot when you program it. You can park near your gate without blocking traffic to program it.

FEATURE SUGGESTION:
— Please make option in Charging menu on Pilot Panel to show charging speed curve per each minute interval during charging session. It can be either line curve or bar curve.
Why?
By having instantaneous charging speed graphs, Air owner can gain better insight when best to disengage DCFC station as charging/waiting is no longer optimal. This UI can a good tool to educate new EV owners to have efficient DCFC charging sessions.

Totally agree, Bar would represent this better. But I'll leave it to the UI experts to figure out what works better.
With so much compute available, they can allow driver to set a certain charge speed when they should get a prompt if charging pace goes below that level.

FEATURE SUGGESTION:
— at Right Cockpit screen, the menu bar on top has HomeLink, BlueTooth, Cellular Strength and Alexa. As when click HomeLink, it will have drop down options to show garage doors; likewise, make it clicking Alexa to also have drop down box to show categories of voice commands. When user click on a category, UI can either slide out a list of commands or show commands on right cockpit screen.
Why this feature?
Many owners are not aware of all the available Air features that can be activated by Alexa voice command. I personally have to print those commands out on the 8”x11” sheet laminated and stored in back seat pocket behind passenger seat. Clicking Alexa icon is good visual reference, bc Rivian also does that to educate rich features can be accessed via Alexa.

This is Rivian’s charging speed curve on their mobile app. While I’m at EA station, I go inside Walmart to use restroom, I can remotely check charging curve to determine how long more I can stay in Walmart to have efficient charge or it is time to better off to bail out of store.

Send out education emails to owners once in two weeks with sample commands.
Why: This will increase awareness of the available command. The following few days may provide required data for improvement and trends for usage. Google Assistant emails are good examples.
Thank you. It mystifies me to no end that drivers will add 40 minutes to a an already 40 minute charging session, just to get that last 10%. It’s just not worth the time, and one shouldn’t do it unless one really needs the full 100% charge to make it to the next charging station.
Out of a plethora of apps for Tesla owners there is one (TezLab), that gives a very accurate estimate of how long it will REALLY take to supercharge your car, and what the charging curve will be. It’s very graphic, in the literal sense of the word. More than a few times it certainly motivated me to quit wasting time, unplug, and get going again.
Make this option available on the Pilot Panel or in the Lucid app. It will be very useful no matter where they put it. Better yet, have some bright, young and talented app developers design apps that will give you this information and more, just like they have with Tesla.
Alexa befuddles me. I don’t know her very well. Now, Siri…
Same. With Siri, I know exactly what it can and (mostly) can’t do. Alexa is still a mystery to me. I can’t even get it to send a text to anyone except a specific person it seems to have picked at random from my contacts.
“Alexa, text Jess.”
“Do you mean Dave?”
“No, Jess-i-ca.”
“Okay, what do you want to say to Dave?”
Every. Damn. Time.
On the other hand, it seems to understand me perfectly if I ask it to play a particular song or navigate me somewhere. Of course, sometimes it can’t find the song or address, or it’ll play the non-Atmos version. But at least it understood what I said.
I agree, it should be an option. But I will say what I always say to folks when it comes to percentage vs. miles. Just use percentage. Percentage is based in fact. Miles is based on a fantasy.
I resisted this simple truth for years. Don't be like me.
This is the way.

Thanks, I'll give that a try. One worry I have is that I might be close enough to the gate that during programming I cause the gate to also open.
Mandalorian?
If so, I love it.
You will definitely cause the gate to open during programming, that’s the whole idea. You need to be right there in order to program our car and any Homelink car I’ve ever used. I do agree with you it would be a cool feature to be able to select on a map where you want the programming to activate, but since we don’t have that you are kind of stuck with the first option. Maybe go when there’s lower traffic? I’d also park the car maybe 100 feet before you get to the gate so it will pop up earlier instead of rolling all the way up to the gate before you see the menu.
