    Key Detecting Antennas

    I was writing yet another response on a different thread about poor unlocking performance, trying very hard not to sound whiny while asking some questions about why this works for some people but not others, when I think I figured out why my usage pattern leads to the car often being slow to...

    Lucid Loaner Key Fob Experience and Lesson Learned

    As far as I know, the car does not lock with a key inside without you taking explicit action. If you leave the key inside and walk away, it will eventually turn off and fold the mirrors and bring the handles in, but it is not locked. If you press on a handle, it will open again. That has been...

    Northeast Lucid regional area

    The biggest problem we had with destination chargers at motels was that (2 years ago) neither Google nor any of the travel sites let you search on that feature. So finding such hotels took way more effort than it should have. We stayed at one (A Comfort Inn) that had one that was free and they...

    Northeast Lucid regional area

    Welcome! We have road tripped with ours quite a bit (35,000 miles in 2.5 years with no daily commute) and love it. No range anxiety. A week after getting ours, we drove from Boston out to Yellowstone and back. OK, some range anxiety in the upper west, where there might be only one or two...

    Camera lag/delay

    As a (former) software engineer, I suspect that there isn't straightforward answer to this, even from people on the Lucid software team. These are complex systems with many interacting components that work differently when tested in isolation or as part of the overall system. At its lowest...

    Camera lag/delay

    Mine were pretty reliable up until software 2.6, and now only work about half of the time. I assume this is a software problem that will be fixed eventually. The turn signal cameras I can live without, though I appreciate them. However, it is very difficult for me to pull into my garage with...

    Mobile key unlocking delay

    I wasn't claiming this is a lemon law applicable problem. But I take issue with @borski saying that the fobs always work. They usually work, and are an inconvenience when they don't.

    Mobile key unlocking delay

    No, they do not always work. I have about a 75% success rate in having the car just unlock as I approach. The other times, I'm left standing there for 30 seconds to 3 minutes before it opens. Sometimes in the pouring rain. And I've tried using my iPhone instead of a fob, and that's worse.

    How Did You First Become Aware of Lucid?

    I’d long been curious about EVs, but hadn’t seriously researched them. I have friends who were early adopters of Tesla, but looking to upgrade. One of them is 6’7” tall, and checked all of the EVs on the market a few years ago. He told us about Lucid, which he liked the best, except that the...

    My Surreal Sound Pro fix through settings

    Some of what you describe not liking about the bass sounds like what we used to experience before the campaign last fall to fix the front bass system. What year is your car? Do you know if it has had this fix? It involved putting some dampening tape over openings in the frame underneath the...

    Mobile Charger

    It isn't good to plug in and unplug the connector to the 14-50 outlet on the wall regularly; they aren't rated for that many insertions, and will eventually become loose. Back when I used that cable for daily charging, I left it hanging on the wall of my garage except when going on long road...

    Plate Transfer Difficulty in NY

    I ran into similar problems 2.5 years ago taking delivery of my Lucid in Massachusetts, before Lucid was an authorized auto dealer in this state. What we ultimately did was for me to sign a release of liability document to Lucid so that they gave me the car with no plates at all (Mass does not...

    Software Wishlist for 2025

    No. It's the rules around EPA mileage reporting. They only test the range in Smooth Mode, so it has to default to that. If they tested the range in all three modes and reported it that way, they wouldn't have to default back each time.

    Lucid API

    To graph parameters over time: Click on "History" in the navigation, and add the parameter you want to graph. For instance, my car is named "Lex Lucid", so I click on "+ Choose entity", type "Lex" in the search box, then select "Lex Lucid Remaining Battery Percent" from the drop down list...
