    Gravity Testing!

    The lack of roof slope towards the rear suggests it may be more adult-friendly. Then again, be aware that this is a mule and there will undoubtedly be many changes as the design progresses. One suggestion that I would offer is to have the rear window wiper hang under the spoiler rather than...

    [Resolved] Lucid charging cable not working

    Duh, I wish I would have read this post before calling Lucid. No light when I plugged it in. CS said the Lucid emblem should be illuminated. I pressed the adapter cable really hard, and voila! Mentioned this to my BIL (he had the same issue), and it cured his issue. I guess the rubber on...

    My first EA charging experience

    I believe there are at least 2 issues at play. One, EA is in the process of updating the software on their chargers. I believe that will help. Along with the Lucid software updates, I think the handshake problem is solved (based on my limited charging experience. The bigger issue IMO is the...

    My first EA charging experience

    Just used the EA charger at Target on Flamingo. At 26% SOC, I got a whopping 137kW charge rate. It throttled down to around 90kW at 65%. It was at 40kW at 80% when I stopped. Ambient temperature was 91 degrees F. One of the 4 chargers was down. Initially I was plugged into a combo charger...

    My first EA charging experience

    It will get worse over the summer. Heat is the #1 enemy of power transmission plus the added demand of A/C usage. I expect the EA and maybe others (except Tesla?) to throttle down as grid demand goes up. I'll be taking notes over the next 5 months on charge rates vs temperature, especially here.

    My first EA charging experience

    The ones at Target on Flamingo and at Sam's Club near Rainbow work good. They are tearing up the gas pumps at Sam's on Centennial. Word is they are adding chargers there.

    My first EA charging experience

    There is a Signet charger in Vegas on Cheyenne. My last charge was at 3kW (no, not a typo). Unplugged and went to the EA on Flamingo - 135kW. Cheyenne charger is by far the worst.

    Release Version Megathread

    HUGE difference! Everything works now; I just have to press the "Continue" button on the kiosk. That said, the EA charger at Cheyenne in Las Vegas is problematic. I got 3kW from a 150kW charger (nope, not a typo). Went to the one on Flamingo at Target and got a whopping 137kW. Noticed my...

    Lucid future and possible consequences

    Enjoy the ride/performance for it is indeed superb. More s/w updates now with fewer hiccups. IMO, there really isn't anything else like it. Enjoying lots of compliments from envious people. That about sums up my experience so far.

    Lucid future and possible consequences

    Unlike some, I have huge respect for Elon Musk. Every thing he's touched has turned to gold. If that's not genius, then I don't know what is. He touts Tesla as the best thing since sliced bread; he's supposed to, that's his job. If not for Tesla, we wouldn't have Lucid; it's that simple. Peter...

    Lucid future and possible consequences

    We have HUD on our Lexus RX450h and love it. Every once in a while, I look down at the dash on the Lucid and see that I'm 10-20+ miles over the speed limit. Not if but when I'm going to get pulled over.

    Lucid future and possible consequences

    I'm in my 70s and I think Lucid will outlast me lol! That's the only deciding factor. I love the Touring but not wedded to it. I'll most likely replace it with Lucid 3.0 in a few years. I think the next generation will be lighter by at least a thousand pounds with a real world range of 400+...

    Car Washing...what are your tips and tricks

    I've used Meguiar's Yellow Wax for years until my neighbor told me about GTechniq Liquid Crystal C2V3. Much easier to put on, incredible finish and doesn't seem to attract dust as easily as wax. It's become my go to product. You use so little that a spray bottle lasts a long time.

    Autel chargers

    Just did a firmware update today using the Bluetooth option with no issues. First update when I installed it with over the Internet, again no issues. Added the following information for the charger: Vehicle - Lucid Air Touring 2023; Nom. Capacity - 92kWh; DC - CCS 1-200kW; AC - Type 1 -...

    Autel chargers

    My Autel charger has been trouble-free, although I'm mostly taking advantage of the free 3-yr EA charging.

    Charger FAQ/Explanation

    Here are some numbers to put what you have/want in context. The Grand Touring has a 100kWh battery pack; the Touring a little less. If you charge at 20% to 80% for the GT, that would take a little over 6 hours using a 40A charger (hardwired or plugged into a NEMA 14-50 receptacle). If you...

    2.0.56

    I never contacted CC so there must be another source or metric. EA forwarding my info to Lucid would be a stretch. Could it be when EA was trying to reconcile who paid for my charging experience?

    2.0.56

    I can confirm that I had never had a hiccup-free experience prior to .56. At a minimum, I had to unplug and replug at least once. Worst case was multiple unplugs/replugs before calling the toll-free number and having EA take over. First couple of times, EA actually asked me for my first/last...

    2.0.56

    My experience mirrors yours after installing .56. Pulled into a 150kW EA station, plugged in, and hit the "Continue" button on the kiosk. Didn't even need to use the Lucid app on my phone. Handshake took less than 20 seconds. The charge rate "screamed" from zero to 120kW. I've never noticed...

    Road Trip With Touring

    Thanks! I checked the I70 route. That will save me a couple hundred miles.
