Really? I've been working on cars for decades (literally going back to childhood when I helped my father), and sensors are almost always plug-and-play. Even LIDAR and radar and sun load and temperature. I mean, it's rare to come across a sensor that is not plug-and-play. Outside of the one that...

Which control units are you referring to in specific? Is there a list somewhere on the forum? If so, please link me to it. Usually things like bumpers and lights don't have control systems and even typically sensors that go in the bumper are just plug and play, although sometimes may need...

Well, if you read my original post, I actually didn't come here for opinions on what I should purchase, but instead, to find out if, for example, I could buy something like CCCV2 on a totaled car, and about the glass roof leaking, and a few other questions. Not about whether or not I should...

Thank you for the information. There are plenty of lucid air for sale that are actually not in service mode but are totaled out. I would be interested in trying to figure out how to get one out of service mode that was in it. I read about some Russians that were able to take it out, which to me...

What is CCCv2? Since it can be bought from Lucid; does that exclude total loss cars? I am pretty torn between trying to buy a used one from used car dealers and buying one from auction that I fix myself / with my friends shop. I'm not one to sell cars so residual value doesn't mean much to me...

Nice thread, is the 2022 much worse than 2023? There is often not much of a difference in price.

Definitely, tech's do not do magic. I have friends who are Master Techs for Nissan and BMW; neither does "magic" and both of them respect enthusiasts like myself with our own garages. The lack of available tools to repair a car you are supposed to own just means that in reality; you don't own...

It's not like you cannot be severely hurt or killed by a gas car. there is just some safety standards that have to be upheld and then you would be fine. I mean in repairing an EV you would need to be careful and not touch open electrical connections which should have fuses in the first place so...

Well without a OBD2 port there is no way to know what is wrong, you are totally at the mercy of Lucid. . . And if you get in an accident then it's also a toss up. I didn't know until last night that there is no way go scan the car yourself, that you have to look at your Lucid account and speak...

Yes this is insane to me. I have liked these cars since they were first demoed and I've wanted to buy one. Was looking at a few of them on the rebuilt title side or even thought about rebuilding one... then I find that Lucid is charging $12-15k to unlock the car out of service mode, and that...
