Software wish list

Yes, I do a light acceleration too, not not everyone is capable of that. Most people I know, especially ones coming from gas cars, tend to just go press hard on that pedal. Also sloth mode likely helps efficiency minded folks as well.

Yes, I play the accelerator like a violin, but I guess that’s just me.

Sometimes I will open the app just to check if the vehicle is locked or on the charger (sometimes I forget to put it on the charger as soon as I get home, but may check before bed time).

So I like the option to not wake up the vehicle from sleep unless a command is sent.

Except that app doesn't necessarily know the CURRENT state of the lock until it wakes up the car and verifies. Until then, you just have a cached state of whatever the lock status was the last time the car communicated with the cloud , which may or may not still be accurate.

I am coming from a Tesla experience. If I recall correctly, the Tesla app was always very accurate in its identification of the current state of the vehicle. I guess since they are cloud connected, the status on cloud should be updated as soon as it state changes and it should be the version on the app. In areas where cloud connection is not available, the phone as a key comes in to play. The vehicle should give communicate status to app when locked.

From my two week's experience with Lucid, I see that Tesla has a better phone as a key experience. I am hoping Lucid will match them.

I use my charge cable all the time while traveling, visiting friends, renting out VRBOs, etc. Even with a dedicated wall charger at home and DC Fast chargers all around, I’d still never want to be without a charge cable for emergencies. You never know when you’ll need a quick charge somewhere.

I keep my cable in the car as well. On that front, I'd like Lucid to develop a slightly smaller case for it so that it fits perfectly into either of the side cubbys in the trunk area (not the covered part, but above the cover). It sort of almost fits there now, but you have to squish it a bit so it looks all crinkled and ghetto. There is more than enough room in the case for the parts they supply and even if you order an extra adapter they should still be able to design it to fit exactly into that space and be out of the way for larger packages and stowing the 3rd row.

The bag fits in the left Air cubby perfectly, as you describe. I was a bit disappointed they didn’t redesign it to fit in the equivalent space in Gravity as well.
 
Adding a few more to the SW wish list:

1. In the map view listing all chargers, when viewing the details of a charger station, the info should also list the prices at that charger and the specifically the TOU rates by time of day.
2. The estimated range on the screen to the left of the driver should be customizable. Currently it shows a value thats weighted heavily by the usage in last 10 miles. That 10 mile number should be customizable with values like higher values like 100 or miles traveled since last charge etc. It will be great if that average efficiency & range projections can be shown for Trip A & Trip B. Note that average efficiency is available in the vehicle trips info, but having it on the left screen gives an accurate range estimate based on current trip. This is useful on long road trips.

Reducing the size of the unit will mean they have reduce the power of the unit. I have read on Tesla forums that their mobile charger unit is capped at 32A, due to heating issues. Original units had a 40A spec, but reduced to 32 in subsequent versions due to overheating on the original version. The Tesla units ar much smaller than the ones Lucid is giving with the vehicle. If Lucide makes the charger smaller, it may end up becoming a lower power unit.

As I said in my original post, the case is oversized for the existing unit. Reducing the size of the case will have no impact on the charger itself, it will just reduce the "crumply" look when someone inevitably tries (and succeeds) in stuffing it into the trunk cubby holes.

Arguably there is also plenty of room in the space under the cover at the bottom of that same cubby hole to put any extra cables or even the cables that ship with it making it possible to make the case even smaller still, but I really think the case is just bigger than it needs to be and sizing it to be the right size will allow it to fit into the cubby hole with no compromises.
 
I’m going to add one more thing for the wishlist. I think that the directional signal should be a little bit louder when you’re in the radio is playing you’re playing some music even at a low volume you basically can’t hear it so I think it should be a little bit louder. That’s an easy fix.
