I saw Lucid listed on the Tesla app but everyone here said it was not active for the Airs yet. I attempted to try my Lectron adapter anyway a few weeks ago but because of the location of my front license plate i could not get close enough to the Tesla supercharger cable due to the curb. I have since removed the license plate and will try the Tesla SC again and report back, probably tomorrow. Thanks for the info!
Cool!
This was true.
Okay.
I can. You are incorrect. They put the same CCC in that the vehicle was designed for.
This chip literally did not exist when you bought the car. You received precisely what you paid for. The alternative was to wait 3 years until a newer model was released, which you were welcome to do.
Incorrect. Lucid has yet to lie. They may be wrong sometimes, but “grossly incompetent or fraudulent” is quite easy to combat with, oh, I don’t know, the countless awards the Air has won, *in its first year of production* especially.
It has this. (Though I didn’t count)
Says who?
I have no problem with RJ.
@borski - love your posts and your advocacy.
This is the classic case of lying through omission - just stop talking about it- nothing to see here.... 
It’s a leased vehicle, just ride out the lease and get a new model when the time comes with all the upgraded processors.
Thanks. I try hard to call a spade a spade.
The CCC is not the only thing involved in speed. It doesn’t create bugs, either, though it can contribute to them (by virtue of running out of memory or something).
I’d agree lying by omission is lying, but I don’t think they’ve done that either. They’ve admitted most of their faults. They just haven’t always provided solutions for them.
I was genuinely sad about this. Before he lost his mind and decided to run for President, I really wanted a roadster, and I still want a two-seater roadster to exist - but now I want Lucid or Hyundai to make it. Honestly, I’m just disappointed that Tesla hasn’t innovated in years. And no, the Optimus and RoboTaxi don’t count.Great point on Roadster. I stand corrected there!
Lucid has Autopilot, or the equivalent. What it doesn’t have is FSD. I would argue Tesla also doesn’t have FSD in a way that is good enough, as evidenced by them not being Level 3 certified, whereas MB is, for example.
I have no problem with any of that, of course. I was just clarifying the facts.
That's what I paid. It had nothing to do with FSD. I needed it because Tesla built the original MCUs with flash memory that became unreliable. People were essentially given a choice of doing the upgrade or spending close to that amount on an older generation destined to fail. Tesla eventually lowered the price. At some point, they admitted that the flash memory problem was their fault, and they even gave me a partial refund, but even with that I ended up paying more than the current price.I believe Tesla's upgrade also included upgrade to their FSD module and not just infotainment bit, but i could be wrong
Tesla's website does say that. When they added it, compatible Superchargers started showing up in the Tesla app as available for the Lucid, if the Air was specified. Shortly after that, those Superchargers stopped showing up. That doesn't mean that they wouldn't work and I never tested it personally, but if I put a Gravity in the app, they show up again. If I have an Air and a Gravity in the app, it shows the location, with no indication that it would work only for one but not the other. It would be odd for them to say it on the website, tell an owner on the app that it's compatible, but then say that they meant that only the other non-Tesla listed in the app is compatible.
Hmmm that could be it. I think the ones I’ve used the Lectron adapter at might be open to everyone because of the Magic Dock (even though I didn’t use the dock; I used the adapter)
The adapter might have worked for me because the SC locations I used have magic docks too. I need to test it at a non-magic dock site. Maybe they’re not open to the Air yet
Go look at Elon Musk and Tesla first…….hahaha….Peter dishonest? Hahahahah…….really? Peter is one of the nicest persons you can ever meet. And I’ve met him a few times. Very down to earth and an amazing “ real “ engineer. Unfortunately EV market did not pan out the way he expected and of course going through COVID, inflation didn’t help. But he is no way dishonest. I respect him a lot. More than many other CEO’s….
Having unanticipated software issues is not lying or being dishonest. Understand that even Rivian owners have software issues, a lot of them.@borski - love your posts and your advocacy.
Will believe you on the CCC chip if you have inside info - but why then so slow versus all other cars? Especially for the initial price? Who made that decision? I am not imagining that the UI is slower and buggier versus even legacy auto manufacturers.
Lying through omission is still lying in my opinion. Again - I'm just talking about the tech here. They've over delivered on everything else.
Great point on Roadster. I stand corrected there!
But do like his pioneering of AutoPilot and self driving. 40k+ US alone deaths per year due to drunk, distracted or drowsy drivers. Imagine if this was zero. Thought Lucid through its early marketing would be on this mission. BYD, Mercedes, Cadillac have seemed to take up 'that mantle' in addition to Tesla, Waymo, Rivian, Nvidea and MobileEye. Lucid has been crickets on this since launch.
Which is OK - no one said they had to pioneers here, but they did when I bought the car, hence the criticism and skepticism.
We're on the same team here- rooting for them- but they need to know honest opinions from their diehard customers.
Snappier interface is not the right sales pitch. I wish LUCID can do better with communication, that thing doesn't take much and is not dependent on 2015-2016 hardware.
If you aren't going to buy the car at the end of the lease I can't see any reason to do the upgrade.
