    Unable to authenticate with Lucid app

    Yes, it worked fine after the EA agent rebooted the charger.

    Unable to authenticate with Lucid app

    Customer care told me that it is a known problem and it will be corrected Monday. The app locked when I tried to authenticate. Interesting that Lucid thinks it’s ok to wait until Monday but road trips happen on weekends too. It’s the first problem I’ve had with EA charging in two and a half years.

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

    Sentry mode and EA charging locations away from densely populated areas would be nice. The preferences expressed above are interesting but the AGT has everything I need for local and long distance driving.

    "Can You Fool A Self Driving Car?"

    This is not a subject that I normally focus on. This morning I read the Bloomberg article about a fatal incident with Tesla's FSD in Arizona in Nov 2023. The progressive video play is stark. That the Tesla did not slow enough to avoid hitting a pedestrian head-on should give anyone who does not...

    Consumer Reports Reliabilty Rankings

    Thank you for your perspective. I did not know anything about the BMW until I saw your post, as I have been quite happy with my AGT for 2.5 years. The BMW i4M50 looks phenomenal at a bit more than half the price I paid for my AGT in 2022, fully optioned, is a value (to the extent that luxury...

    Lucid Air's Number One Software Issue?

    Lately my auto door opening is disabled. This is because I was too close to the car in the garage and it repeatedly opened so it automatically disabled to save the battery. I do not know how to reactivate it. Not the end of the world, just a bit annoying. Otherwise the only annoying consistent...

    OTA Update 2.6.16

    Thanks for the mention, but the motor whine is not gone. As I said, it seems less than pre-OTA, but maybe that is wishful thinking. Maybe Lucid has some decibel readings pre and post in a controlled test. Range has improved, and DA is confidence-inspiring, although I always kept two hands on the...

    Spare tire

    Get a lug wrench. Be aware that ground clearance with normal tire pressure is low, and with a flat tire is too low to fit a jack under the car. You will need an air pump to inflate the flat until you can place the jack. I got a compact rechargeable air pump for $40 at Costco. It fits in the...

    Consumer Reports Reliabilty Rankings

    I do not subscribe to CR. I am not sure that its utility for consumers has kept pace with information available in a simple cost-free search for timely information. I will not rate the CR methodology and cannot address its review. I will assume that it is perfectly objective in its choices of...

    OTA Update 2.6.16

    That was my first impression after the update yesterday. HA is also smoother, and based on only about 50 miles of highway driving, the efficiency is a bit better. I noticed that in a straight and level stretch of interstate in moderate rain, the voluminous spray from an 18-wheeler's trailer...

    For Sale Looking to sell my original set of four 20-inch Aero wheels/Michelin tires

    Photos of all four wheels please. How much do you want? How many miles on the tires and have any been repaired?

    Days Since The Last Major Feature Release... Yikes!

    It has randomly intruded annoyingly and embarrassingly, responding to a passenger's voice. I must turn it off.

    Drive assist & cruise refuse to engage periodically 2.6.0 / 2.6.11

    I had the same experience after accelerating beyond the speed limit and overriding Drive Assist. I was passing a slow moving group and wanted to do so quickly. I do not recall the speed at which it disengaged but as we know the speed comes on very fast with all the torque. Next time I feel the...

    Lucid support in decline?

    I am sorry to learn of the difficulties some have had obtaining satisfactory service. I have not seen a decline in service quality. My experience over two and a half years with service centers and customer service is that they have been responsive and courteous. QC at the factory could have been...

    Out of Spec - Lucid Gravity Launch Event At The NYC Meatpacking Studio!

    Gravity is super impressive and a desirable vehicle for most. I have not watched the entire video, but his comments that are very critical of the Air draw a clear distinction with Gravity. We are not in a perfect world, and the advances with the Air are amazing for me as a car enthusiast owner...
