I know this has been touched on before, but is there any way to turn off the annoying speed limit sign on the cockpit panel? It's rarely correct. Rather than using GPS and a database (as do Apple CarPlay and Android Auto) it takes a picture of whatever speed limit sign it sees. That could be the...

Goose Island, Chicago sent a terrific mobile service technician to my home about 150 miles away. Forgive if I've misspelled, his name is Guillermo. He really knew his stuff, was well-spoken, conscientious and fast without cutting corners. I needed the auto-entry seat adjust enabled. He also...

I use a Grizzl-e 48 amp charger hardwired to a 60 amp circuit. Works like a charm. My Lucid charges plenty fast when necessary, but most of the time I'm merely adding 5-10 percent overnight after local driving. I'm not sure what an ultra-fast 80 amp charger buys you unless you return home from...

I drove round-trip of about 290 miles between my home in central Illinois and Oak Park, a Chicago suburb, this past Sunday. The temperature was 75 degrees. Wind light. There is a 500 foot elevation difference between my home and Oak Park. I drove at 73 mph mostly on cruise control (the...

I've worked in radio for 53 years and reviewed car stereo units for major newspapers for 15 years. There's only so much Lucid can solve with software. A good antenna is mandatory for good reception. That applies to terrestrial radio and satellite radio. For clean looks (with minimal wind...

I am absolutely positive I'm using the correct email address (and password). I cannot log in to lucidmotors.com without it telling me I have the wrong password. Customer service suggested I simply do a password reset, but this should not be necessary. How would I know if someone hacked my account?

I just encountered a similar situation. I tried logging in to lucidmotors.com with the same credentials (email/password) that I've used for over a year without a problem. Both with my phone and on my PC and it's rejected my log-in attempts noting an invalid password. I know the password is...

Aside from Android Auto, is it my imagination or is the pace of Lucid updates dramatically slowing down? Admittedly, Lucid has corrected most of the most glaring and/or critical software problems, but it sure seems that a long list of desirable fixes and corrections remain.

This from Ars Technica: https://arstechnica.com/cars/2023/08/public-ev-charging-keeps-getting-worse-according-to-new-study/

Been averaging 3.6 to 3.8 mi/kwh in warm weather with air conditioning rolling on 19-inch wheels in my Touring in mixed local and freeway driving. At 60 mph with little wind and no significant elevation changes I can achieve 4.2 mi/kwh. My main complaint is not with my Lucid's efficiency, but...

I try to keep reasonably quiet, but I am very disappointed about the delay with Android Auto. Both my sales and delivery associates assured me it would arrive in the near future, which was seven months ago. I consider the "near future" a three month window. While the Lucid Air is a wonderful...

This article from highly respected Ars Technica touches on some issues discussed on this forum: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2023/07/tesla-exaggerated-ev-range-so-much-that-drivers-thought-cars-were-broken/

I'm not certain this belongs in this thread or a different one. Unless one fully understands charging and lithium-ion batteries, all range estimates assume driving to 0 percent charge, no? Yet, if you want your batteries to last, you should not drive the car below 20 percent. So you can lop off...

I have not sold it yet. DM me if you are interested.

I have a four-month-old Zenith Red Touring, 4,000 miles. It has glass canopy roof with tint, SurrealSound Pro, 19-inch wheels. It has had no service issues since purchase and has the latest software update. I even upgraded from my original Pure reservation. The car averages 3.7miles/ kwh in...

I received notice that Lucid will deactivate my trial DreamDrive Pro on July 5 unless I want to send them $12,000. That's fine, since I don't use DreamDrive Pro. But I think it's a bit greedy to charge $2,500 for the surround view and blind spot view. These are safety features that are standard...

You probably have creep enabled.

I've had Auto-Owners insurance for the past 15 years. Only had one claim when debris on a Chicago expressway gouged the front end and hood of my brand new Honda Accord. They quickly paid for repairs at the body shop of my choice. When I bought the Lucid Air Touring the agent was unfamiliar with...

Personally, I'm very glad Lucid is taking its time in activating full DDP and not being reckless about self-driving like Tesla. I'd rather they take it slow and get it right. What would be useful to know is what Lucid defines as full DreamDrive Pro? Will we get to keep 360 surround view without it?
