As an explanatory note, the contactor issue should not occur while driving, only when the vehicle stops and is parked. They act as on off switches for the high voltage battery, when the car parks the contactors disengage after 30 seconds or so. The problem is that they remain in the off position...

It turns out that my VIN was not part of the recall for the contactor issue. Yet that was exactly the problem my car had, faulty high voltage contactors as specified in the recall. The contactor issue for my car fell outside the parameters that Lucid set up to define the cars likely to have the...

Contactor Issue. Recall notice never received. Car was inspected in April at Riviera Beach for recall notices and passed

9137. Contactor issue. Never received a recall notice. Car was in the Riviera Beach service center in April and they inspected the car for a recall notice. It passed. It may have been the wire harness recall they were investigating. The contactor recall notice was published in February so that...

I hope that Lucid learns enough from these failures to prevent this from happening to cars yet to be produced.

My car was inspected for the recall issue when it was in Riviera Beach for Frunk liner replacement 2 months ago. They determined it was not subject to a recall.

Vehicle is on a truck right now, heading to the Virginia service center in Mechanicsville. Monday it will be sent through a series of diagnostic tests to determine the cause of the drive fault error. The plan is to provide me with a loaner, delivered to my home, by the end of the week. When...

Yes. I had time to read through the posts here while I was waiting for a tow. I was trying to figure out if I needed to use the tow hook and how to get the car into neutral. I spoke to the tow truck operator, who told me he would use skates not the tow hook and Lucid customer care, who told me...

October 5, 9137 miles on vehicle

Just happened to me, 500 miles from home, the car bricked. Got the drive fault error message and the car shut down. Could only be opened by jumping the 12 volt battery accessed through the rear wheel well . Power lasted 2 minutes. Enough time to straighten the wheels for the tow truck and...

I was excited to drive my Lucid from Florida to NJ, as I would enjoy the ability to maneuver the car through trucks on the two lane portions of I 95. I was only concerned about the DCFC situation as my car has recently experienced charging errors at EA locations. The car would charge for 1...

After 7 months of mostly trouble free charging at nearby EA locations, the local charging stations have deteriorated. There are 12 chargers at 3 stations. At each station one charger is unavailable and has been unavailable for weeks. At my preferred location, I now get a charging error when I...

Rivian to acquire ABRP https://electrek.co/2023/06/15/exclusive-rivian-to-acquire-abrp-a-better-route-planner/

That did not stop Lucid execs who previously said it would probably be out by the end of 2022. She said she had no information from the software team on when to expect AA.

I met Amira Aly, Lucid's Head of North America Sales, at a Lucid event in Miami. I asked her directly when is Android Auto coming to the vehicle. Her smile disappeared and in a serious voice she said " Soon, but I have no firm date when it will arrive. I haven't been told by the software team...

I can't speak for anyone other than myself. I run the battery down to around 30% then charge to 80-83%. I could charge at home nightly, but I don't like tripping over the cable as I am often in the garage, which I also use as a wood shop.

Since I drive 1100 miles/month, I charge about 2x/week.

EV batteries are rated for 1500 - 3000 charging cycles. Since I add around 50% each time I charge, and I get 3 miles/Kw, my battery will last an estimated 252000 to 504000 miles. That far exceeds the miles I will drive in the Lucid.

MY Air GT, on 21" tires, after 5500 miles is averaging 3.0 miles/Kw. I drive in Sprint mode as often as possible, when speed limit is 45 or higher, with a mix of city and highway driving. The best I have achieved is 3.2 mile/Kw after a 70 mile highway trip at 80 mph. I carry some extra weight...

My Lucid Air GT is simply the best, most fun, most responsive automobile I have ever driven. Two days ago, I had a minor service issue, so I called customer support and was told to drop by the service center in Riviera Beach the following day. A repair was made and a part was ordered for...
