    Just got your Air? Common questions answered!

    This may vary by state, I know demo cars could (1958, NYS) be sold as new if they are under 5000 miles. All still had to be declared to the buyer.

    Insurance Megathread

    $1600/6mo is $3200/yr, only $400 less... the insurance difference between Pure & GT is not really all that great, and mostly things that insurance would never see a claim on: software, integrated stereo, etc... the larger battery is the primary difference: fire, major accident which likely leads...

    What would you like to see from the Lucid mobile app?

    All I've had as of late is the mobile app (while the car is in the body shop)... and I realized that it is really strange that the tire pressure screen displays those "--"... well, ok, the car doesn't know them until it is moving... but how often will a user be checking this when the car is...

    Key FOB procedures for Opening Trunk and Frunk

    Touch the icon that opens it and it should close an open one... though I find the frunk's operation is a bit flaky (sometimes it opens, sometimes not).

    Passenger door handle broken / grinding

    My mind immediately went back to a childhood campfire song... "Who's that knocking at my door... who's that knocking at my door... who's that knocking at my door? Said Barnacle Bill the sailor..."

    Issues on brand new car

    Good software would have put up a notice on the pilot screen to that effect, not just refuse to do the operation silently... I have reported similar "silent failures/refusals" to customer support on other issues too... the software team needs to learn to consider that there is ultimately a human...

    Elsewhere I posted this: https://lucidowners.com/threads/has-anyone-replaced-tires-on-lucid-air.854/page-3#post-73962 (but then failed to point at any one specific calculator... there are many)... Just did a quick google and see this one (that will yield you the diameters given the other...

    Mobile key is non functional and valet card is completely unreliable

    Since upgrade from Android 12 to 13 I am finding that my S22+ seems to no longer be killing background processes... I base this on my usage of AccuBattery whose background monitor was often killed on 12 (sometimes multiple times a day), but seems to be stable today on 13. Unfortunately I don't...

    Drive System Fault - Car stopped dead in the middle of the road

    It is actually very old... remember automatic transmissions "on the column" (p/r/n/d)... The issue is not if this is a good and reasonable method of shifting, it is that the wiper control is patently unsafe as currently delivered (you have to take your eyes off the road to use it)... an...

    Windshield wipers

    As this is the "standard software based product proposed answer to all problems" (sad, very sad), I have to wonder why so many problems (e.g. the SiriusXM app reset, etc) are (since sw level V2) not solved by what used to do a reset (locking the car, walking away for awhile, and letting it...

    Drive System Fault - Car stopped dead in the middle of the road

    So we drive a car designed for SCal where it never rains and you can shift from D to R without removing your eyes from the road ('cause we do that so often as we barrowdown the road) but you need to take your eyes off the road to keep the windshield clear of this never happens thing called...

    Drive System Fault - Car stopped dead in the middle of the road

    Sure, but having wiper controls that you have to take your eyes off the road to use is a design flaw that creates an unsafe vehicle. And holding Tesla up as a UX to emulate is sad (sick, laughable). I am no fan of the idea of a push button gear selector, but it is better than the current UX design.

    Drive System Fault - Car stopped dead in the middle of the road

    I am not so sure that there is a physical disengagement of the motors from the axles, as opposed to (and I believe more likely) an electrical disengagement of the motor from the battery... I believe either could be done... Yes, the wiper controls are in the wrong place! Both of these design...

    Drive System Fault - Car stopped dead in the middle of the road

    And prior to this I didn't know of any that would delay that shift for "a second or two"... I'm not even quite sure what "N" actually means in this/an electric car (with no transmission)...

    SiriusXM Megathread

    I dislike Alexa, and the feeling is mutual... I also only want to use voice controls for things which are inherently voice related... i.e. (not e.g., but i.e.) phone calls... anything else has to deal with too many side issues: other sounds (both in & out of the vehicle) confusing it; it coming...

    SiriusXM Megathread

    It goes far beyond that... there is a basic set of functions that must be present and working for basic safe operation of the vehicle... this is why there is a steering wheel, turn signal switch, accelerator, brake pedal, etc... it is one thing to redefine these for specialty vehicles...
