My efficiency is up too after the change. Like 10-15%. in retrospect, not surprising since they said I had a 15% cell imbalance. My understanding is to balance the cells they basically bleed the energy off of the other cells to match to poorest performing module. So making 15% extra heat...

Same warranty period: I only have 29k miles / 4 years on the car, so warranty will be up at the 8 year limit the rate I'm driving it. BTW the Samsung Celled battery definitely has a bit more juice than the LG one new originally. Added about 5-6 miles of range fully charged!

https://testmycode.cc/ I think made by someone on this forum?

Thought the 2026 touring gained some range - assumed it was an updated cell for a bit more capacity since the heat pump went in 2025 I think?

Well I got my Lucid Air Touring (early build) back from the shop for the drive system warning / battery imbalance. Happy surprise is that while the parts seem to suggest a re-manufactured pack was put in: The API says I now I have a SDI (Samsung) celled pack with 100% health and 93.44 KwH...

From what I can tell, culture is only part of the problem. The process is broken, and the fix is probably not simple, it's embedded in their entire service / parts model, which they can't just clean sheet and throw away anymore. I dropped my car off for the HV battery replacement (mobile tech...

Not an excuse NOT to get a call back. But I would make a service appointment through the app for the issue and that will force them to call you (because they need to confirm the appointment). That's how I get through for non-urgent issues.

Want to share my recent service encounters with Lucid: Signs of logical processes exist! Background: I had a first run build, December 2022 Touring. Lots of service visits to fix early teething problems, most in the first year. Including: 1.) Panel alignment / trunk 2.) AC compressor...

Well I didn't see through it but I missed it all together. Same result!

I'd chalk it up to the best laid plans of mice and men. When this strategy was made, the EV environment was totally different (incentives, excitement, all boats rising). Things totally flipped (at least in the U.S.). Policy went from supportive to outright adversarial (tariffs). Also I...

This is my guy. Metalworking wizard. In Campbell. Makes aluminum look easy. I've only brought small dents, but he can do crumpled fender level projects too. Worked on my Air, but Gravity should be no problem. https://maps.app.goo.gl/yXcqdeJowtrpPFiR8

Do you or anyone actually know if there is for example an off the shelf available solution that integrates with a software defined vehicle (e.g not a dumb subsystem?). What I wonder is if there really was an off the shelf option or they just couldn’t get theirs to work. I know you can get off...

In the absence of a public vision statement from him -> This action I view positivelyfor the same reason you do. Talk is cheap. Look at people's actions to see what's really going on. He's obviously not afraid to own the role and make some quick / needed decisions quickly. Will there be...

From my past comment, I'd gather he was told (on saw the writing on the wall) to fire a ton of talented engineers and decided that if this is the direction things are going, you can fire them. I'll take my leave.

I'd frame it less driven as cutting costs and more driven by: Taking the operating model down to the studs to simplify / accelerate whatever decisions needs to be made. Costs coming out is a by-product not the main goal. $100 M of headcount over 1 year is doing nothing to get Lucid to...
