While I agree with you the struggling LCID stock is not directly attributed to"Key FOB", but the reality is, Gravity ramp is signficantly behind plan. Lucid's shipment (Air + Gravity) is significantly below theire forecast. $7,500 incetive is going away. Leases, which accounts for a large...

I think Kettlemen City has plenty of CCS and NASC chargers.

If the problem is in the computer/SW as I am inferring, no new FOB will fix the unlocking problem. The Air FOB has its own problems (e.g., battery drain).

I drive the route from LA to Marin County often. There are plenty of DCFC along the way. Kettleman City recommened by @HC_79 has the most chargers, and you can get a meal there. Besides Kettlemen City, there are plenty of DCFC charging stations along I-5. Take it easy. You won'tget...

I don't want to get down a rat-hole. But there is indeed a mechnical override (simply by pulling the lever back hard to release the lock) you can pull to release the door; but you have to do it from the inside of the car. For example, when I go DCFC charging, if I leave my car for a while...

My point is: I think there is only ONE (per door) solenoid lock plunger. That is activated by the computer. There might be multiple unlock signals (celluar, WiFi, Bluetooth, FOB, key card) that activate the computer. But all of these commands go to and arbirtaed by the computer. Hence...

Yes, the Air Key FOB sucks. I hardly ever use it. Putting that aside, bitching about the Air's or the Gravity's key FOBs, or the phone apps, won't solve the root-cause problem with Lucid's (Air/Gravity) unlocking issues. I think the problem is the computer and the SW. Just want to make sure...

It might be a question of sementic, > lock/unlock issues exists on both the Air and the Gravity. > there are multiple paths to lock/unlock) vis-a-vis, FOB, Key Card, Phone (Blutooth, celluar), etc. > but all these unlock signals go through the computer to assert the locking/unlocking function...

Good enough! What more proof do you need?! ;)

Do you need a new bumper or just repairs on the existing bumper? Ordering parts might be the time-limiting step.

Yes, it takes 2-3 days for them to get back to you. If you just go to Raintree, there are several body shops in that area. You can just go talk to them and make sure the shops have actually worked on a Lucid and can get the necessary info and parts to fix your bumper.

I think this is oneof the Lucid recommended body shops in Scottsdale AZ> Give them a call. https://www.raintreeautobody.com/

If you message Lucid, they will give you a list of "certified" Lucid body shops. I think there is one in Scottsdale. I have not used a body shop in AZ. I took my AFT to a Lucid certified body shop in San Rafael when the right rear corner panel came lose. They did a fine job fixing it at a...

True....an in-car WiFi hotspot is a grreat feature. Rivian used to have that feature for free. If I remember corectly, you have to pay a monthly fee for that now. Can't you just use your phone as a HotSpot for the children?

All of these incremental improvemenst are good. Early Air realizable highway mi/kWh is signficantly below EPA metrics. Perhaps that's why Lucid hasn't change its EPA ratings even with some incremental efficiency improvements.
