I get your point. But I think it's fine as it is today maybe. Physics demand that the maximum regen is always proportional to the current speed of the vehicle, and therefore sudden removal would never cause a major change in vehicle dynamics. At least not beyond the scope of what an attentive...

Ouch. Glad no one was hurt. Just to clarify the situation with the all-weather mat recall in relation to what you wrote: The all-weather mats recall is related to accelerator pedal getting stuck in position. In other words, the risk described in the recall is not the sudden on-set of...

True for all lithium-based cell chemistries, which includes Lucid. But also good to remember that this does little for the health of the battery itself - rather the opposite if anything. I've encountered people who almost religiously tried "calibrating their battery" by ramming it up to 100% and...

Nope, none of the above .. Smooth mode, non-acc, and no visual or audible warning. Also I pressed both pedals quite far down, so I definitely provoked the system enough that it should register something. Would be interesting to hear if others experience something different.

Today my 8yo asked me the question: what happens when you simultaneously press both the accelerator and brake? I went into lecturing mode, heavily over-explaining how the car understands that this is not intended and automatically blocks the input signal of the accelerator pedal. But to my...

Yes, I was slightly confused by this myself. As a result I did some digging and found that this behavior is indeed mandatory as per regulation EC 2019/2044 which came into effect last July. The "intelligent Speed Assistance" section is very specific that the warning system must be turned on...

Unfortunately there is a fourth possibility which in my experience is far more likely. Even with the best intention, expectation and planned prioritization, sometimes deadlines simply cannot be met. Having worked in an IT function with a major OEM myself I can no longer count on two hands the...

Just stumbled across this thread. Not sure if its still an issue but a bad cell could indeed explain the issue. A battery pack consist of thousands of cells. When a cell is around 4.25V its considered full (100%) while its considered empty somewhere around 2.7V to 3V (0%) depending on the chosen...

Unfortunately no. Lucid customer service claims this is intended behavior for compliance purposes. When making this button sticky (e.g. storing its state in memory), it becomes impossible to guarantee that the person who switched off the button is always the current driver. Personally I feel...

The problem I'm experiencing is that it automatically switches back on after each drive (2.6.5 in Europe)

Just received got an update to 2.6.5. in Norway The things I immediately noticed were the following: - Faster CSS handshake (time between plugging in and charging) - Charging stations are better recognized - Snappier user interface - Much faster "waking up" when initiating from the mobile app -...

I wouldn't assume that a typical AC-based wall charger will adjust the frequency. Unless the charger contains a dedicated inverter (which I haven't heard of before) the charger will simply forward whatever its receiving from the grid into your battery. Meaning that the car will have to be able...

Lithium batteries are sensitive to heat. And DC fast-charging creates a buttload of heat. Current EV battery packs simply are not designed with the intention of exclusive fast-charging. If Lucid decided on some form of throttling it might not be such a bad thing as it might just save your...

I don't have experience with importing, but maybe it's good to know that the US has a 120V@60Hz power grid. If I remember correctly there's a 230V@50Hz TN power grid in the UAE. If you're planning on charging at Level 2 chargers (at home, shopping malls, etc.) then I would consider checking...

Due to the focus length and contract difference of the HUD, your eyes don't need to change focus as much as when reading from a regular display. In theory, you could be looking a pedestrian straight in the eye while reading what speed you're driving at. Personally I don't care much for HUD. I...
