Yes, Purlux means you don’t get the same ambient lighting. But you get massage seats. I don’t have that option because I have leather. If I had to choose between lights and massage, I’d take massage

Yeah at this point, I love the car and would not mind keeping it for a while. I’ve had too much car ADHD over my ~30 years driving, it’s time to slow it down. Even if I’m technically upside down on the overall value, I don’t really mind, I love this car

Noticed another bug with media. The list of recents on the Home Screen never updates

Yeah I’ll see what the landscape is at the time. My residual is $49k (touring with SSP MSRP of like $92k). I know I’ll owe about $8k on miles alone. If my car remains trouble free, I’d rather just buy it if the overall difference is minimal. I do love this car.

This is eye opening stuff. My lease is 36 months and 10k miles per year. I’m already at 8,500 miles after 8 months, so I’m on pace to be over. To make matters worse, I just accepted a new job and for the first time in a decade, I’ll have a commute. This commute will add about 8k miles per year...

Is your phone set up as mobile key? Are you relatively close to your car? I can’t use mobile key because A: it crushes my phone’s battery, and B: the car will never wake up via the app

It’s funny to new that all these new AA drivers haven’t looked at nor heard a single thing CarPlay users have been discussing for a year now. Small overall picture? Check. Angled screen so it looked crooked? Check. And ultimately seeing people not even using it very much because the built-in...

I finally went ahead and did this, too. I went with the 10” kicker. So much better. It’s been easy to dish the base into a good level. At low volumes it’s not very noticeable, but once it’s turned up even a little, I can finally feel the bass.

Yeah, tell me more about these soft close doors!

Agreed. This also means my yearly excise tax is more because they base it on MSRP for new cars

I loved how my iPhone worked with the iX, and more importantly, my Apple Watch. Just for when I wanted to get something out of the car while it's in the garage, just having my watch was enough for it to unlock so I could easily do so. BMW has the same limitation of our Lucid in that walk-away...

I’ve been thinking about wrapping mine, too. I want like a British racing green color. How much did the job cost? That’s my biggest hang up

I also have this "new" crossbar kit. Got it back mid-winter or so, though. It installed super easily. Only left it on for a day or two, because I didn't actually need them at the time and didn't like the added noise the crossbars introduce.

I have no idea how to set up or use home assistant, so I don't see that as an option. Lucid really should add the geofenced option to disable walk-away lock/unlock when at home like most other manufacturers offer.

Yep, I did the same thing. But still, the fact that it just restarts any playlist/album that you had playing before whenever you start a new drive was just something I couldn't get past. It bothered me so much. Especially when you're like halfway through a shuffled 100 song playlist or something
