How many have noticed while you have your phone with you, you can simply push the door handle in to unlock the car? It also seems pushing the passenger door handles work more often than pushing the drivers door handles.

Another tip I found is you can swipe when using the keyboard for entry. Something the Lucid rep wasn't aware of until I demo'd it.
 
its in the manual, but Lucid told me its not "officially supported" but obviously it is.

mine don't really work, Lucid has replaced 3 door handles trying to get it to work.

Lol, there you go again. Manuals lol. 64 yrs old and still haven't learned.

However, after reviewing the manual on Opening the Doors from outside, I still don't see this noted anywhere.

I would say that the connection via phone is my only compliant. Sometimes works like a charm, and sometimes I need to stand there and open the app. I don't carry the fob with me because I have my phone always. I would love to leave the toggle to passively open the locks, but with my car in the garage and my office close by, it continually opens the door, and eventually shuts it off. Not something abnormal considering the distance and all.

The funny fact is they state it's not available on the rear door lol.

It isn’t.

P.S. this also works to lock the vehicle.

But it does work by pushing the rear door handles, and works better and more often than the front

Mine have never worked from the rear. The passenger side, sure. But not the rear.
 
I would say mine work about 50% of the time. The 50% of the time they don’t work I’m just left with smooshed in door handles until eventually the phone wakes the car from proximity.
 
I have autolock/unlock turned off. The rear doors seem to work. I will have to check since I may be pushing the rear handle after the front didn't work. So the rear may just be the delayed front unlock. I also believe I have used the rear to lock the car. Again I need to confirm.

That's the standard functionality of the door handle, especially if passive unlock is turned off.

I can lock with the rear on my Air, but can't unlock with the rear.
 
Just unlocked mine (2023 Air Pure AWD) with the drivers rear door. I have passive unlock turned off. Pressed the door handle and car unlocked. I thought it worked with the rear doors but I've learned to no longer trust memory.
