Hi All, Never got around to posting what the midbass upgrade process looks like. I would just say it's not for the faint of heart - better know what you are doing!. I will let the pictures speak for themselves. This is the level of disassembly the dash needs to get to in order to access the...

I had a 90d before the lucid i don't remember ever having a warm cabin post fast charge. Just kept the a/c cranking even on a hot day at the charger. What MY is your MS? Maybe the glass canopy has something to do with it.

Do you know if this is a software thing or the radiators can only reject so much heat? Seems like the fans on the car can really crank during fast charge and i don't hear it after the charge is done. Seems like it can be refined in software. Will try keeping cabin conditioning on next time...

Seems like a tough sell if you are driving somewhere hot and then need to fast charge in the middle. Seems like they should use more shore power to cool the battery after the session is done? Is was getting warm in the car even with it being 67 degrees outside. Can't imagine what its like if...

Hi all, I have been able to reproduce an issue where after a fast charging session the air conditioner no longer blows cold. I don’t even hear a compressor spinning up. Has anyone encountered this issue? It only seems to go away after enough time post fast charge. The valet key reset did not...

Great to meet the lucid team at the event! Thanks for hosting. Nice location as well.

Atmos is a novel listening experience. The sound image has depth to it that stereo does not. For stereo, the image gives you direction but not depth. I think some of the masters where they have a moving sound object (or play from behind for no apparent reason) are a bit tacky, but some others...

Swift isn't just pedal mapping, it also changes the spring rate / shock dampening. The car will ride stiffer (more responsive in corners but harsher ride relatively) This is why it works great in handling corners. Very noticible with 21's at least.

Yes this is new dsp / speaker response before / after further correction / tuning.

RTAs attached, as well as post correction results. That's pretty much what i got now. In the meantime, i am going to enjoy my system.

Depends on your listening preference, while you will certainly feel the energy, the tightness of the bass is going to be affected by having to pass through seats / rear deck. My current build is more catered to resolution than energy. The build in my old Model S had the Focal Kevlars and that...

Existing 12v is plenty for my build. The overall power output didn't increase that much over stock, maybe a couple hundred watts max.

Part 4 - The physical build For my build, I used top of the line Focal Utopia TBM tweeters (1") and Utopia Mids 3.5". Here they are side by side with the stock tweeters and mids. " Here's the full set - 3 sets because the center channels needs to match. If you don't have atmos, probably save...

All the mids are 3.5 in" The front stage is actually a 3 way in the corners (tweeter, mid, mid bass) The main issue you'll face other than taking up trunk space for the sub is that the Air doesn't have a hatch like the model S. So the only way to get the sub to play into the cabin is to open...

Part 3 - What i wanted to get out of an aftermarket system I probably should have started with this, but nonetheless i think it would be helpful context for me to share what I was looking to get out of the aftermarket system (and where i felt the Lucid OEM system could be improved) Some...

This is what the rear deck looks like. The stock "sub" probably run 100w rms, basically like a midbass, so it wasn't causing any noticeable distortion/resonance through the metal frame. Having the trunk as the enclosure and walled off from the seats also helps to keep the bass clean even if...

Didn’t really look into this. Given I was trying to preserve atmos functionality, the only way to do that is to work off the partitioned channels.

Part 2 - Power Amplification For this next part, i will review things to know about the power amps. As stated before, the factory system consists of 2 Class D DSP Power Amps. One for the base system and one for the premium system. The factory system is fully active crossovers for each channel...

Here's a better view of the pattern, it's pretty easy to get to if you want to get a measurement. Just pull down the trim panel from the trunk area. Note, it's not a simple bolt hole pattern to mount it. The left plate is the adapter that was made for the new sub.

Oh you were you were the radar guy! Haha Small world. Envious of the travel, hope you are having fun. I have a 2 month old and 3 year old so that kind of travel will need to wait a bit. Hit me up when you are back. What part of the bay are you in?
