Preconditioning
1. Learnt about pre-conditioning and it seems like there is a function to do it from panel for 20 minutes? Source. Is this how everyone is doing it?
2. Roughly how big of a difference in terms of charging speed if you don't precondition?
3. Can you plug in and set the battery to precondition and charge itself when its ready?
Chargers
1. Seen many threads on this and people asking about "best charger" and "waiting for lucid charger". Is the stock charger pretty much crap? Everyone has to fork money to buy better charger like JuiceBox and ChargePoint?
4. The stock charger is not a smart charger. Does it matter much? Can the car itself handle "schedule charging etc." and provide charging data to the app?
Question for current Lucid owners in regards to battery/charging:
1. What are some general concerns that you have? How it is currently affecting your day-to-day since your Lucid ownership?
2. What are some surprises that you found out after getting your Lucid?
3. What are some things that you did not expect especially for first time EV owners? Reality vs Expectations and based on your general knowledge on EV.

1. I see a lot of threads like these and curious if mods can keep the first post of the FAQ updated? Thanks in advance.
2. Where do people go to to stay up to date on EV knowledge?

2. How realistic is this with people raising issues about not getting 350W?Every Lucid vehicle comes with the Lucid Mobile Charging Cable, which charges up to 64 kilometers of range per hour of charge. Just plug it into a typical household NEMA 5-15 outlet, or get faster charging if you have NEMA 14-50 outlets — and you’re ready. Source: https://www.lucidmotors.com/en-ca/charging
3. I seen plenty praises about Lucid has the best charging speed compared to other EV. Does this mean with the same charger, it chargers faster on a Lucid vs Tesla etc.? Or it's more about the charger itself?With 900V+ architecture, it’s the fastest EV charging system available – able to fill up to 350 km of charge in about 15 minutes
