    Anybody had problems with "Brake light malfunction"?

    I'm having a left turn signal malfunction problem. Initial problem was a brake malfunction report, so I took the car in for service. I had a spill in my trunk, paid $1200 to replace the wire harness back there, but 2 days after return of the car, a turn signal malfunction has recurred. My...

    Eric Bach, fired Chief Engineer, sues!

    My point was not that the (alleged) statements were not offensive to Bach -- understandably, they were -- nor that Bach doesn't have a possible claim for unfair termination. My point is that a claim of racism, i.e. the company had/has it our for someone because he is white, strikes me as a bit...

    Eric Bach, fired Chief Engineer, sues!

    I do think it's pretty funny that a white male is claiming the company was acting with racial animus against him; calling a white person of german ancestry and birth a 'nazi' is racist? If I call a Black person, or an Asian person, or anyone who is not Caucasian, a 'Nazi,' then I'm not being...

    As an owner, why are you investing in Lucid?

    I really like my Air Touring -- it's not perfect, but it's a very good car with some decided shortcomings. That said, imo, the company's execution has been pretty bad. Anyone remember these production forecasts: Lucid expects to deliver 49,000 vehicles in 2023, rising to 90,000 in 2024...

    Spotify Issues?

    I took a roadtrip yesterday. I had the occasional pausing problem, iirc both using CarPlay and the native spotify app. More annoyingly, the sound quality was bad. Lots of instances of distortion, which I've never experienced previously. I will try some radio music to make sure it's not a...

    Lucid Motors wins bankruptcy auction for Nikola’s Arizona factory and other assets

    Nikola reported over $400million in Property, Plant & Equipment as of the end of 2022. Most of that seems to be for their headquarters and the manufacturing facility, so it would seem that Lucid did very well with this purchase. Note that Rivian bought a former Mitsubishi assembly plant in...

    mi/$ not that great in CA for EVs?

    That chart is wrong for Rhode Island. Prices (generation + distribution charges) is like $.32/kwh in winter and $.24/kwh in summer. Winter is higher due to large natural gas contribution to generation, and NE nat gas prices rise in winter due to heating demand and limited supply. No consumer TOU...

    Extension cord for 40A Mobile Charging Cable Kit

    Note: I'm not an electrician, but.... .... you just need a heavy duty entension cord for this application. Note that, even though you're using the '40A' charger, if you plug into a regular house outlet, i.e. 110v, you'd be drawing more like 12 amps, perhaps as high as 15 (I think a current...

    Suspension Clunk

    I believe I too have this or a related issue. It seems like a bit of a rattle/vibration on the driver's side when hitting bumps or depressions (e.g. manhole covers), doesn't seem as present when the passenger side tires hit similar bumps. I had the car in for service a few weeks ago, they said...

    Residual value of leasing an Air Touring with credits

    Not sure what you want to negotiate at this stage? If you want to buy out the lease, I don't think at this point the buyout price (i.e. residual) is likely to be negotiable. I would imagine the lease gives you the option to buy it out by prepaying all the future payments and the end-of-lease...

    Guess the name of this project or the name of the future car...

    Would you be able to find your car in a parking lot? (sorry-- GMan posted while I was drafting my reply. His was better.) However, it could be an advantage if pulled over by the cops for speeding.

    Residual value of leasing an Air Touring with credits

    Important to note, the primary benefit (in this case) is that Lucid (or the bank) is carrying the risk of depreciation. If the car is worth less in 36 months than the residual -- which is based on the MSRP, as noted above -- then you will turn the car back in, and Lucid will be stuck with a car...

    18 month Air Touring lease with Gravity Priority

    if you look at the total monthly cost, it is almost the same. Remember in the 18 month lease your $15k down payment is nearly $1000/month over the course of the lease. ($15,000/18 = $833 per month). in the 36 month lease, that down payment is only half that much ($417/month). so the monthly...

    Spotify album limit?

    I listen to Spotify in my AT. I have ~160 albums in my library (Library>Playlists>Albums), all of which show up on my phone or computer. However, in my Lucid, only 100 show up in the Spotify app. Any ideas why this is the case or how to remedy that? Unfortunately, the albums seem to appear...
