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...

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.

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

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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

The wheel doesn’t have capacitive sensors….it doesn’t know where you’re holding it. It needs you to just slightly wiggle the wheel when the first (text, not audible) warning pops up. Just a tiny nudge is all it takes. Most of the time, I’m applying a bit of lax resistance to the...

Thanks, I’ve been wondering how much energy it may take for cooling the batteries for summertime charging. I’ve heard that sometimes that cooling system can be a little loud too? But today my interest is that I’m planning to just use 110V charging at my summer camp, which so far reliably adds...

That seems like a lot of compromises from your desires, so yes, it seems reasonable for you to rethink things at this point. The glass roof is a major change, and the 20 inch wheels, while preferred by those who appreciate this as a performance vehicle, have a shorter lifespan, and are...

I’m sure this has been discussed before, but I’ve been curious about how long the “don’t let it suit at 100%“ guideline applies to. A half hour is surely hyper-cautious, but what’s a good rule of thumb? 6 hours, 24 hours? What data is there on the effect of repeated occasional full days at a...

That makes sense. How about with metal roofs? Still dangers of damage, or more straightforward?

Why? They look pretty simple…..what’s the subtlety you feel needs expertise?
