EVs tend to have more things like sensors embedded in the body and prep for driver assist functions (more $). They also are much more concerned with lowering weight, thus more aluminum parts (which tend to be less fixable). They tend to be either new models or worse yet new makers, and thus less...

A GT vs a T (with less weight from a smaller battery as well as less power)... a Granny Smith to Red Delicious comparison...

Its not just their EVs too... a friend in FL who has been without their Jetta for 6+ months because of a lack of a basic part for an $8K body shop repair. ... and yea, its fair to compare VW & Lucid when it appears that it is the mainstream car company that has lost their way and is failing.

I want information, not just data... while there is overlap, all data is not information.

Those little meters can also reveal much useful information to the interested observer... for instance, something as simple as the Windows Task Manager Performance tab reveals a lot about the characteristics of the app collection on your computer (for instance, it and the equivalent on other...

I still don't get it... the car is (when powered up) connecting to a wifi (whose arbitrary name is AndroidAP_8486, which does not mean it is powered/created by Android). The iPhone can also connect to this wifi (that's how wifi works). Are you saying that the iPhone can only see that wifi when...

If I read this correctly, it just says the the car is using a hot spot provided by a phone (as one would expect it to be able to do)... am I misreading something?

I should also note that my vampire drain has not returned with the recent turning on of the wifi... perhaps the updates did some work in this area(?), still doesn't explain how it got turned back on (and it is unreasonable for an update to have done so).

Thanks for those #s! They seem quite anemic to me, especially compared to what that 12v socket in the trunk supposedly puts out. This means that USB-C to 12v socket converter would not work (I was considering it as an alternative to the USB-A to 12v converter that can just eek out running the...

That is for USB-A and 5v systems... USB-C can do much higher voltages (e.g. PD is capable of up to 48 V at 5 A). This is the sort of info that should be in the "specs" chapter of a user guide. In my case it is much more than just idle interest also, turns out there are USB-C to 12v sockets such...

I have "Wifi Analyzer" installed on my phone (which finds wifi head ends) and it finds no Android network being advertised (with the car's wifi being either on or off). I see lots of nets that only identify themselves by address, but none that claim to be an Android based system (lots of the...

It sure would be nice to know the exact specs for the 4 USB ports... I tried to charge an AirMoto (uses 5v USB-C at 2A), but it will not charge (but does do so using its USB-A to USB-C cable in the car)... my Samsung S22+ does fast charging just fine off the front USB-C port (I believe that is...

I'm sure that they will, for a small $250K (+/-) fee...

Too bad there isn't a nice gauge giving coolant & battery temperature... https://cleantechnica.com/2023/08/12/evs-shouldnt-hide-so-much-data-from-drivers/ (as well as many other gauges, and a human readable display of the event log... all basic software product things).

As well as a physical control (perhaps on/added to the stalks) instead of an area of the touch screen...

No software should ever be tossing errors without communication (screen pop-up? event file entry! etc) of the cause (and every point in the code that can raise an error should have a unique cause). This info should be presented to both the owner/user and be available for the support team. The...

I suspect it is a bug in either the app, or more likely in the Lucid servers (e.g. that I'm still getting these on 2.1.10).

Interestly... we're on 2.1.10 and have gotten multiple superfluous notices of that upgrade (which we've reported so "they" know...).

Reads like normal AC compressor behavior on a hot, humid day... perhaps worse than other cars as this one doesn't have an "on/off" switch, and thus the AC tends to come/stay on when its happy to see that you are near it... I suspect it would be less if you went into the climate controls and...

Installed 2.1.10 last night. Tested the behavior of touching the driver's handle with "passive unlock" off. As with 2.1.3 this does not wake/allow me to open the door. Still the same that when I touch the driver side rear door handle, then I can open the driver's door.
