I’m curious whether the Lucid display is big enough to accommodate the new option of three rows of app icons… that seems like the biggest enhancement of CarPlay in this update.

I did hear recently that there are numerous CarPlay issues with iOS 18.4. Enough so that the article I saw recommended not upgrading until they patch it (for those who use CarPlay). I would imagine the issues should be gone by 18.4.1, so keep your eye out for that. Found the article...

For what it’s worth, here in Maine people swear by using dryer fabric softener sheets for keeping rodents out of engine compartments and interiors of vehicles when they’re being stored for a few months. That almost looks like the type of area where they wouldn’t be in the way, or in danger of...

It’s odd that the Lucid build doesn’t cover that area with plastic. Nachos rodents, but water spray seems like it can get up in there. Does anyone have any thoughts about whether the air gap there would be serving any useful/essential purpose? It’s hard to imagine what that would be. (maybe...

Does that picture of the tire near the end of your set of photos show the gap that you think the rodents entered through? If so, I wonder if that could be the kind of thing that gorilla tape is perfect for….

My windshield fogged up rather suddenly for the first time the other day too. But as soon as I turned on the defroster it cleared right up. (I generally keep that toggled off; I think this is the first time I turned it on in the two months that I’ve owned the car) Did the problems that you to...

How heavy was the rain and snow, through which adaptive cruise kept working fine? (you’re getting my hopes up; I’ve been disappointed to see that it doesn’t seem to be possible to have basic “non-adaptive” cruise control when the radar/adaptive may be disrupted by precipitation)

Possibly key question: was this 40 miles shown WHILE using the on-board navigation That’s what I’m gathering is the “magic sauce” that offers real-world predictions. Using Apple or Google or ABRP won’t do the trick….it seems!? I’ve yet to charge in the wild, but continue to gather the...

On your commute, what’s your driving speed?

This was my takeaway as well. With charging infrastructure continuing to be built out (with or without DC’s $$), over the coming decade EVs won’t be seen as an iconoclastic or risky choice, and there’ll probably a lot more folks who don’t drive long distances who’ll be needing the cheaper...

Great suggestion. I’ll have to (try to) remember that…

What is this, and what does it do? Is it visibly perceptible, or change anything vis a vis wiper streaking or defrost?

I'm a bit fuzzy on whether the TCU fully failed, or simply isn't able to handle the latest updates. I guess if it actually crapped out, that's bad luck for you, major part failure is one of the expensive risks we take.... Did the delay CS encouraged you to take before trying again push you...

I can see this. And perhaps especially for vehicles that are at risk of languishing in Scottsdale, they might be especially aggressive on reducing lease costs. While my AT and the OP‘s AGT were being pitched to us at almost the same time, both for 36 mo, they may well have had more of an...

It was over the last week of December. Monday the 16th is when they contacted me about the AT in the Arizona lot that matched the options I'd ordered for a Pure (due in March). The 23rd, is when the paperwork began on the credit app; I think that was when the car was on site in Natick and they...
