I would doubt that you’ll be able to pay through your Lucid Wallet because that would require magnanimity from Elon Musk towards Rawlinson* and Lucid. That’s not one of Musk’s strong suits.
This whole Peter / Elon argument is getting tired. Naysayers were saying “Elon won’t let Lucid on the network because of Peter” yet, they’ve got access so time to give this narrative a rest.
And after this it was “Tesla won’t let the Gravity have access in time for launch” which was also proven wrong.
100% it will be plug and charge. Rivian, Ford, Hyundai and every automaker with Supercharger support supports plug and charge. No reason why Lucid won’t.The question wasn’t about whether Lucid would be allowed on the Tesla network, nor was it about whether Plug and Charge (which is part of ISO 15118) would be available on Lucid (it is) The question was about paying through the Lucid app or having to get a Tesla account. This isn’t a tired narrative, it’s a valid question even for people who don’t care if Elon Musk gets to track your valuable charging data.
It is my prediction that Tesla will not grant Lucid the ability to streamline their customer’s charging experience by routing your charges through their app and control what information gets sent to Tesla.
You’ll be able make fun of me if Tesla does relent, but since nobody here apparently knows, you can’t dismiss me* yet.
*maybe you can dismiss me now, I haven’t searched this platform for a “block user” feature…

Wasn't the objective to build the cars so others will use the charging network? Didn't Tesla open their car patents to other car companies? Wouldn't it be wise to have other car companies use and consumers pay to use Tesla's charging network? Testing my sketchy long term memory as well as 'maybe' playing Capt. Obvious.Given the way Tesla sales are going, especially outside the U.S., their increasingly-profitable Supercharger operation may become the company's lifeline, at least for a while. So, yeah, they're probably not going to make Superchargers difficult for non-Tesla drivers to use at this juncture.
After choosing Germany for its enormous European gigafactory, 94% of Germans now say they wouldn't consider a Tesla. After a 41% sales decline in Germany in 2024 (a year in which EV sales in Germany grew 27%), Tesla sales for the first two months of 2025 are down another 70%:
Tesla is done in Germany: 94% say they won't buy a Tesla car
A survey of over 100,000 Germans revealed that 94% won’t buy a Tesla vehicle. It doesn’t bode well for the...
The primary objective of any publicly traded company is to generate profit, and shareholders won’t tolerate declining revenue indefinitely. I believe Tesla will continue opening its Supercharger network to any automaker willing to pay for access.
After some initial issues, I think other EV owners' experience with charging on a Supercharger has been quite positive. I've done it a couple times in our Volvo EV, and it was everything you'd hope for - with 2-3 dozen charging stations at each site rather than only 4 or 6 stalls, all working, and less than half occupied. Initiating a charge was faster than it is with EA (I used Tesla's app though).
You can always buy a high quality adapter from Lectron or A2Z if Lucid's supplies are limited.
Q2 can be anything up to end of June.
Interestingly the same as "fall"
They have to be certified for the Vehicle. Lectron does not specify that it is compatible with the Air. I don't know if the A2Z is allowed on the supercharger network. Please don't get me started on AA Fall thing....
No need to panic, you'll be fine. DC fast charging stations will have CCS plugs for a long time going forward. And you'll be able to get a NACS adapter from Lucid, or a couple other high-quality suppliers if you want to. You'll have more options, not fewer.
