Air GT will not charge at home on NEMA 14-50 or NEMA 5-15, so I’ve reset the car multiple times, checked the breakers, checked the connections, etc. but still keeps giving me the !Vehicle Not Charging message in red. When I unplug the car and LOCK it normally the charging port door will shut, but the port stays open until I unlock the car, and press the button to close it, this is odd. I still have 162 miles of range left on the car. Never had any trouble charging at home prior to this, mostly I chargers at home. It’s Sunday, of course, so today there is nobody to help with this issue.

What type of charger are you using? If it is the Lucid mobile charger, is the light flashing an error code? If it is another charger, are there any error codes?

Yes, using the Lucid mobile charging cable, light is solid white until I plug the car in, then it’s flashing white.
 
Two days ago I could not charge at a public charge station (Tesla and EA) I did a hard reboot and it solved the problem. For what its worth you may want to consider that route if you have not done so already

It should not flash white, here are the error codes from the manual:
1771193796587.webp
 
Can you try charging on another L2 charger, maybe a neighbors? If you have a mobile L2 charging cable, can you try that as well?

I know it may be a pain but it's possible your primary charging cable has a physical issue given it's worked in the past consistently.
 
Also can you charge it on DC? I had this issue on my Air and it turned out to be a fried AC converter board in the Wunderbox. It would just sit there, try to start charging and then error out red on the chargeport and give the same message on the cockpit panel. No errors from either EVSe or mobile charger.
 
Took my Lucid Air GT to the Torrance service center this morning, they checked it out and said it would not do AC charging, but it would only do DC charging. They said that they would need to replace the Wonderbox, and gave me an appointment a month from now. So I’ll just need to take trips to the supercharger.

I've heard of this, good thing its warranty because I think that's a $5000 repair.
 
I brought my Air GT to the Torrance service center on March 16th , and it been sitting there for 38 days and counting! They have not even started to work on the charging problem yet, or the recall on some kind of hose. Since this is a leased car, I find this unacceptable, since now I have to drive around a Air Touring loaner car that with the stickers is obviously a loaner, and I’m still paying over $1200 per month! Any advice??
