    The one thing you'd like most right now (for your Lucid vehicle)

    After a hit and run from a idiot running a red light, video would have been nice especially when the officer asked me if I could pull up the video for them and I said there isn't any and he said but this car coat so much.

    Concern for Lucid

    For perspective in northern CA compared to 12 months ago, I have seen a lot of Lucids on the freeway. Daily as a matter of fact. Today I walked out to a local main road and there were 3 within minutes. Definitely did not see as many on a daily average compared to a year ago. 2 years ago even...

    Range Questions after first trip

    I've done some testing on this. My local driving yields 3.9 miles /kwh. My highway driving... well it's closer to 3m/kwh. Testing over a 2 month period that's pretty much the numbers I would always see. I grew up in NYC and I drive like it which is why my highway range is atrocious. But the big...

    Charging now that it's no longer free. . .

    The Lucid app is very seamless and will automatically take over when you plug in. That's both good and bad. Lucid app does not handle discounts like subscriptions so if the lucid app takes over you pay full price. The EA app is super clunky and takes multiple tries of the same thing before they...

    New (To us) 2023 Lucid Air - lots of random bugs.. typically?

    I don't agree with this assessment. Yes there are bugs. But I also categorized most bugs I see as P3 bugs. I have not seen p1 or p2 personally. There was a recent bug that could potentially be p2 but they managed the rollouts so most of us would never have seen it which is why you manage...

    San Francisco Bay Area Owners

    I went with chilton mainly because I'm in the peninsula and talking to them I felt pretty comfortable that they know what they are talking about. They have one person dedicated to Lucids. Whether that makes a difference, we'll see. These are the times when I'm glad I leased instead of purchased.

    What topic are you most interested in for our next AMA?

    As someone whose 2 month old AT just got slammed into by a hit and run driver, video recordings would be great. In fact it was the first thing the officers asked for.

    San Francisco Bay Area Owners

    Oooh not a post I want to do but... I had my lucid for all of 2 months and a guy ran a very late red light and hit the back of my car. Then he took off. But he left his bumper behind.. And his license plate. Anyone know of a good body shop that knows how to fix Lucid. I suspect my insurance...

    2.6.11 Update

    Don't feel bad. I've had long LONG way too long discussions explaining this to Software Managers in multiple firms.

    After over a year of ownership, I still don't understand the entry/approach software of this car

    I was thoroughly confused in my first 2 weeks and I'm a self proclaimed super nerd when it comes to IT. Finally, I decided to turn off passive lock and unlock altogether and tested each to see what I should have on/off. Turns out what makes most sense is not using it and just stick to...

    OTA updates frequency.

    Not directing this at anymore so don't get upset. :) As someone who used to be a software engineer for 30+ years let me give you some insight on pushing out releases. There are reasons why some people get updates and some feel like its been months since they've had an update. The reasons are...

    Anyway to remove plug and charge when plugging into EA?

    I went through this last night with EA customer support. The thing you must remember is do not plug in when you get to the charger. You need to select the charger terminal to your EA app first. You'll know it's connected because it will show your EA account name on the charger station terminal...

    EA Pass+ w/ Lucid Plug and Charge?

    Just to answer this since I was curious and tested it. To use the pass+ discount, at the moment it's very clugey. If you walk up to the charger and plug in you will NOT get the discount. If you unplug you may end up screwing the charger and customer support will need to reboot. (happened to me)...

    "Announced CEO transition..." Rawlinson out as CEO

    It feels very wall st. I'm sure some influential financiers are saying why is the lucid winning awards left and right but not selling like hot cakes. And maybe because mr. Rawlinson is really good at making a great product but not great at selling it. So if that's the case the next ceo would be...
