    Punching in...

    The surround view monitor and blind spots display are indeed part of the dream drive premium package. Dream drive pro adds the lidar hardware and the active lane keeping on the highway (set to be hands-free after June 30), and whatever other advanced driver assistance they come up with in the...

    Navigating the Unexpected: A Two-Week Journey with My New GT and a Flat Tire

    Which brand of plug kit did you use?

    Just curious: what was your efficiency during the 75MPH leg of that trip?

    Thermal management system temp-thresholds when plugged in

    That all makes sense, though of course, the first and third bullet points are not things we need all the time (especially those who rarely use more than a tiny fraction of available range). It’s the second one where I was looking for a little more definitive info about how hot or cold the...

    Thermal management system temp-thresholds when plugged in

    The Lucid definitely keeps it topped off; I’m not sure if it kicks on at 79% or 78% when it’s set at 80.… But that’s not the stated reason that they tell us to leave it plugged in; and as you note, the SOC when unplugged is remarkably stable. I’m really just trying to find out what the benefit...

    Thermal management system temp-thresholds when plugged in

    And per https://lucidowners.com/members/adnillien.520/ “I have not noticed the fans coming on in my hot AZ garage unless I wake up the car by walking past with a key or waking it with the app.” Both of these reports only compound my confusion about the purpose of leaving the car plugged in. If...

    Thermal management system temp-thresholds when plugged in

    We are told that one of the main reasons to keep the car plugged in at home is to assure that the battery thermal management system can activate when ambient temps are too high or low, to keep the batteries healthy for the long term. My question is: at what temperatures does the battery cooling...

    Trying to Decide: Differences Between Touring and Pure and 2025 model questions

    Also, FWIW, less worry about the mechanism flaking out and leaving you unable to access the frunk out of the blue. It seems likely that a simple latch is more able to be futzed with on your own, rather than needing a service center visit.

    Gravity test drive

    I can’t even imagine driving on a sunny day without polarized sunglasses! It just takes away all the windshield glare…

    Trying to Decide: Differences Between Touring and Pure and 2025 model questions

    I agree, this is nicely implemented. The built in chargers are pretty tight for phones in cases, and mine seemed to get hotter than usual. This also allows 2 phones to wirelessly charge, which the car does not. Also way easier to glance at screen if needed. It’s slightly awkward to pivot...

    Trying to Decide: Differences Between Touring and Pure and 2025 model questions

    Actually DreamDrive Premium is standard now on all Airs. So they should all have the 360. (But: be sure to confirm that with the car you choose….they had a bunch of early-2025-year builds with only the basic DreamDrive for a while in late 2024, and some may be lingering! I imagine most have...

    Rivian’s new energy-usage info

    Cool, something new to wish Lucid would add for us! Sure does sound nice, and should be doable. (Ah, great….now I’m fantasizing that it’s already been baked into upcoming new UX…!) “The new update allows Rivian owners to see “where their energy is going” in real time, says Wassym Bensaid...

    New Charging Knowledge Center article

    Is this more relevant (activated) in summer heat than winter cold? My garage here in Maine is generally in the 20s or 30s, and I never once heard a battery warming system kick in while it was plugged in with a full (80%) charge. That made me think it might only actually kick on when it gets...

    Steering wheel position and dashboard config

    Keeping the wheel high enough to see the full read out on the top of the panel is a little higher than I like, making it difficult to rest my elbows on the two sides, and in general arms higher than I like. (Even with seat low) This is, of course, only an issue when cruise control has been...

    Dream Drive Pro Highway assist stearing sensitivity

    Also, see this tip — it’s a way to do that “lax resistance” with ease: https://lucidowners.com/threads/override-for-drive-assist-%E2%80%9Chands-on%E2%80%9D-warning.12155/post-266035
