    Gradual service improvements

    I just booked my two-year service at Natick. This past summer, the earliest appointments were six weeks out. This time, they were four weeks out… did we hear they’re hoping to reduce wait times by 33 percent? That kind of rings a bell; if so, then Natick is spot on. I also got a call the very...

    3.0 Upsate

    For many of us, the phone works fine too. (Though I have to touch the screen of the phone to wake it up for it to communicate with the car, I can do that just by putting my hand in my pocket)

    2024 Lucid Air Touring — $22K Repair Estimate, Insurance Wants to Total It. Advice?

    Huh. Cincinnati definitely calls this “agreed value”…?

    2024 Lucid Air Touring — $22K Repair Estimate, Insurance Wants to Total It. Advice?

    Was that policy written during the first year of ownership? ie, before any nominal depreciation took place? I ask because my Cincinnati policy’s agreed upon value was $84,900, effectively the purchase price of my 2025 AT this year….I switched to them when my prior annual coverage ran out...

    AC stopped working, service center says no faults

    I also had the situation where it would never really put out cold air on hot days. In my case, the Natick service center found a leak in the the system that circulates the Freon (or similar fluid)— it took a bit of time, but they found it because the material has a stain which they saw on an...

    Crash

    This and the post just above you were responding to have definitely caught my eye. I do tend to let the regen braking serve the purpose of the brake pedal in these situations…. It happens every day when I back out of my driveway, then shift into drive once I’m in the road. These couple of...

    3.0 on Air

    Interesting. Once again, vast individual variation. After reading of improvements to the steering wheel volume control, I finally remembered to give it a whirl, and found it much improved, in that the volume changes gets steadily (and consistently). I had always used the dash control, which...

    3.0 on Air

    This happened for the first time to me last night. It took maybe 30-45 seconds for the two laggards to activate. Back to normal today.

    Tire Pressure Warning

    Sorry, Borski….. between my several questions and final statement, I’m not sure which you were responding to! So does yours give you an alert just at start up, or does it pop up the alert icon even in the midst of a drive when the pressure drops outside the nominal bounds? Thanks 🫠

    Tire Pressure Warning

    Is the OP’s primary issue true in the US as well? I can’t fathom that the car could be driving with three tires well below recommended pressure, and that there would be no pop-up warning. Does an icon show up only at startup? But not in the midst of a drive? Every other car I’ve had with...

    Interested in Previewing Future Lucid Air Software?

    Oops, my bad. I went back and looked, but the was tripped up by the web-scrolling disintegration of my ability to actually fully read a block of text rather than scan with the illusion of comprehension…. :rolleyes:

    Interested in Previewing Future Lucid Air Software?

    I don’t see anything in the initial invite that suggests this is UX3-related—just possible future OTA directions (presumably for both Gravity and Air, and perhaps mid-size planning as well). And yes of course a small group is best for this sort of thing, and in person is especially useful for...

    Close to purchasing - service question

    Natick seems to be one of the service centers that’s operating quite well. When I was there a month ago they mentioned that they had recently doubled their service tech staff. Also, now a dedicated mobile tech with a Service-outfitted gravity, and supposedly they’ve split the mobile service...

    AC compressor failure

    Mine had a leak in the refrigerant system, which the service center was able to find, because there’s a UV dye in it. The service people thought there was a good chance it had been gradually leaking ever since manufacture. (“leak at compressor discharge line due to failed o-ring”—or perhaps...

    Air Pure vs Grand Touring in 2026

    This is an air touring, in southern Maine, through 20 months of ownership. So two winters, two summers. 19 inch wheels, probably 5-6000 highway miles (70-75mph mostly), and a lot of miles on ideal efficiency open rural roads at 45-60mph. But also plenty of lower efficiency, short local trips...
