I had a screw in my front 19" stock Pirelli about a year ago and plugged the tire with a regular Slime kit. I'm still driving on this tire. By now it has almost 32,000 miles and the wear indicator is just about flush with the tread. I've had no problems with this tire. Granted, I only drive in...

My service advisor said that it's a software bug which will be fixed in the next update

The same problem just afflicted my 2+ year-old Touring. See here https://photos.app.goo.gl/uYnLdCFmvZxnPUzc9 Did the steering wheel reset twice - no luck. Also, the outdoor temperature is not being displayed correctly. Is the most recent software release (2.6.11) buggy?

I just posted on another thread that my temperature reading is not changing with actual conditions - it just sits there at whatever temp it displays after a reboot

In my Touring it stopped updating recently and is displaying the same temperature as after I reboot the car. Last week it was stuck on 24 Deg. C, after I rebooted the other day when it was cooler, it is stuck on 12 Deg. C. Any ideas why?

I've been using the portable charger that came with my Touring for almost 2 years without any problems. Just have a quality 240 V outlet installed in your garage. You don't need to charge daily if you don't drain the battery every day. I charge 1-2 times/week, depending on how much I drive.

We had hardly any snow or below freezing temps last year

Hey, borski, thanks for the interesting de-icing tip. Next time this happens I'll try it. I wasn't even aware that this button exists. In the meantime, our temperatures rose above freezing and the clicking stopped. I believe I even saw the shutters (aka louvers) close from open position. Does it...

Doesn't this mean that Lucid and other manufacturers haven't designed this feature with necessary robustness?

The mobile tech who worked on my car in the past just texted me that it's the louvers under the bumper that are iced over. I did drive through a snowed over area earlier.

Today, as the temperature outside dropped to low 20s, my car started producing a clicking sound from under the front of the vehicle as if some relay is trying to turn something on or off. This continues until the car warms up in the garage. When it sits outside in low temps and you wake it up...

Cars are primarily a mode of transportation. If you want a great ride and a comfortable, roomy cabin, go for a Lucid. If software to you is primary - then Tesla is your ride. Just don't use the FSD while napping.

Does anyone know anything about these tires 245/45R19 Yokohama Advan Sport EV A/S 102Y XL Black Wall Tire 110140562? They seem to be designed for EVs. My Original Pirelli PZ4s are getting close to the wear marks at 28K miles

Definitely a lemon, no matter what the definitions are. Did a kindergarden class practice assemblying your vehicle, was inspection asleep when checking the car? Inexcusable is right. But most of us here are surprised since our cars don't seem to display the multiple problems yours is afflicted...

Borski, thank you! Turned off the 'passive lock' (I didn't even realize it was separate from 'passive unlock'), and now I don't have to wait for a minute in the garage until it wakes up and unlocks. It just spends the night unlocked in there.
