Satellite Radio/SiriusXM does not work 15-20% of the time

1 that was a joke
2 1 square foot is a lot! In a car with little rear window room to spare
Not a window, the glass roof. It goes nearly all the way back to the rear of the Gravity above the 3rd row. (Cargo area for me since I didn't even order the 3rd row seats.)
 
I'm in California. We regularly drive from LA to Idyllwild and there's about a ten minute stretch of 243 where the Lucid goes silent (no Sirius, no Tidal) because there's no cell service. It takes a long time to reacquire even when our phones come back online. Just roll down the windows and listen to the birdies I guess.

A satellite antenna seems like a reasonable thing to expect at this market point, but if I could only ask for five five things to be improved on the car, I don't think this would make the list. It's not enough of a problem.

Starlink Mini does not work through the Gravity glass roof. It does work through the back windshield or side windows.
 
Ok, I”m an old guy and some of this I don’t get, but I’ll tell you my experience. FIrst, lucid was very little help when I contacted them on several occasions. My Sirius works fine at my house. When I leave the driveway it can’t find a signal. I live in Vermont but not in the middle of the woods. Once I lose signal it’s won’t reconnect. Having Sirius reboot sometimes works but not generally. If I turn the WiFi off it works fine. So I think that is the problem. Lucid sort of agreed and told me to leave the WiFi off, which I do. I’ll turn it on again when an update is due. What this all means, I dunno. It’s a PIA and was a PIA but if that’s the worst thing, no biggie . Can someone explain it better? Thanks…….
 
That makes total sense. Maybe what is happening is, once you drive away the system is stuck trying to connect to your home WiFi which is no longer available. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think WiFi needs to be on unless you are updating software.

That's exactly what's happening. It's really bad in my Tesla, happens occasionally in my Air. Tesla service was no help and tried to tell me it was normal ops. At times it would resolve a couple of miles from my house. Other times I had to go in and manually turn the wifi off to force it back onto cellular. In the Air it has always resolved itself within a mile or two.
 
So, Lucid uses AT&T 4 G in our cars. If the signal is weak try streaming though your phone, especially if you have another carrier and / or you have 5 G.
LTE Actually
 
This is single handedly one of my biggest complaints about the car(s). I hate the suggestion to switch to CarPlay/AA bc it doesn't get to utilize the Lucid UI
 
Yes, in my experience the Air can't handle the handoff from WiFi to cellular, so I leave WiFi off.

I have daily issues with SiriusXM not connecting or loosing connection and telling me to try a different channel, but I have no issues with SiriusXM running on my phone and connecting to the car using Android Auto. So, Lucid could fix the problems it seems.
