Hmmm…It looks like your thread was multiple things to different people. It did include a lot of automotive failures….. but back to camping. How did you block the light from the glass roof? The gravity does look challenging to camp in …

Which part?

This certainly highlights some of the failure modes with wiring in software defined vehicles. Software is useless without reliable signals and sensors. It sounds like lucid needs huge effort in wiring troubleshooting techniques and tools and software to quickly isolate. Pinched cables sounds...

He took a huge step down in comfort and handling. He sure knows his fine vehicles. My mach-e has served it's purpose, but it's hard to drive after the Lucid. Ford made a great riding brick.

I had that occur last year. I was able to push down on it and reset the clip. In my case the trim clip was not damaged. My theory at the time, is my black hood at mid day full sun expanded enough to strike the trim. It's has not repeated.

The real story is in the statistics. But who really knows that. BMW's don't appear perfect according to google.

I keep hearing the phrase " XYZ vehicle achieves the claimed milage". Obviously, LUCID has chosen to copy the Tesla model. But if the consumer is just focused on that, it is a pretty easy engineering formula. Pile battery cells into the car and low ball the range. It could not b e more...

Yeah, clearly highlighting that novel breakthrough German engineering of a bigger gas tank.

144kwh battery. Good grief. Taking the lead from GMs hummer tactics.

Fiasco?

Around my area, lucids are only spotted at the EA station. And rarely. There was 3 of us at the station one evening about a month ago. I wouldn’t believe it if I didn’t see it.

Anyone know if a loss of AC bricks the car? It didn’t occur to me until this thread that may be the case since it cools he battery.

We need the part number from the original poster. I’m now curious if I have the same PN. If this becomes more problematic, I wonder if a preemptive replacement would save all the other AC system components from needing replacement.

Ahh, got it. That’s been my plan with a ‘23 air as well. This is where non OEM repair is needed. $5500 for an AC compressor is ridiculous. And that’s an item I would expect to not fail at all. I have cars over 20 years old with a completely original and functional AC system.

You also have a failed AC compressor?
