    Ordering and Delivery: Lucid Air Touring

    Later in 2024, feels like to me sometimes! I was getting excited about the prospects of Q1 availability until my DA burst my bubble. Oh, well, gives me more time to get some more space in the garage.

    Questions about purchasing and service

    The process from placing an order to getting delivery is quite lengthy in most cases. Sales and Delivery Advisors all seem to be heavily loaded, high number of assigned clients. They seem to prioritize on orders that are nearer to production. The Grand Touring models have been in production a...

    Ordering and Delivery: Lucid Air Touring

    My DA contacted me today to say that metal roofs will likely begin production mid March (late Q1), with deliveries beginning in Q2.

    Name That Part

    When my dad took apart the lawn mower to repair it, he put the parts in a box. He took parts out of the box to put it back together. There were always some extra parts, but the mower would work, so he kept the box around for the next time. Next time, he'd have different parts left over. The...

    What does this even mean??

    Your Touring doesn't have the same capabilities for 350Kw charging as the GT or DE, with the smaller battery pack and lower voltage; your max rate, obtainable only when your SoC is quite low, is closer to 200. The charge rate the car asks for lowers as the SoC goes up, so for the Touring, there...

    EA Popup does not occur until 2nd plugin attempt - Consistent Behavior

    I think that some of the EA chargers are newer and fully support the plug-and-charge experience half of you describe, and other EA chargers still require the extra steps and approval in the Lucid app that the other half of you describe. So, everyone's right!

    Windshield Wiper Fix

    Lots of areas of expertise observed as I read the threads on this forum. Again, makes for great reading. Fantastic, until one person seems to claim expertise on an area where another claims expertise, at which point other readers have to try to discern which is smarter ;-) I just vote for Bobby...

    Wind noise

    Oh, I was only speaking to the noise that changes depending on recirc. The external wind noise might require you to drive another car alongside the car with the wind noise and place the ribbons around the noise area at 70mph. Might be too much of a challenge to do that while keeping HA happy as...

    Windshield Wiper Fix

    Thanks, @joec and all mods and other solutions contributors. This is an example of what makes the forum so valuable -- the detailed support and how-to contributions that benefit the entire community.

    Cold weather Cabin Temperature

    That's where Highway Assist helps! Find an open road where HA works well, set the speed, and you can afford to move your eyes and hand for a few seconds. This doesn't require precision, just narrowing a focus area for the tech. Obviously you are motivated to get this fixed, at those outside air...

    Cold weather Cabin Temperature

    If you want to help Lucid service techs diagnose the problem, you could try the old fashioned ways design engineers look for airflow and leaks ... grab some ribbon and tape, cut the ribbon to get a bunch of 6" max strips. Tape one end to the door or window frame around the suspect areas, leaving...

    Wind noise

    Here's a shot in the dark. Difference between recirc and outside air flow is a change in position in a damper valve, closing the damper to the outside forced air flow when recirc is selected. Suppose the damper doesn't fully close, either mechanical, seal, or debris in seal area. You'd then hear...

    BUG Outside temperature reading is way off

    My 13 year old Mazda has this same inconsistency on temperatures, slow to stabilize. It would seem that there's a rolling average of the last N temperature readings, and that the sensor itself is affected by radiating bodies nearby, including the car engine/transmission/hood, pavement...

    Oh, you ruined the surprise "Oh, Wow! Thanks!" factor!

    Heat Pump

    I think the thing to consider is whether there should be a separate HVAC system for the battery and power unit from the car's cabin, or combine them and reduce weight. A heat pump would likely not handle the needs of the power and battery systems, but the HVAC for the power & battery could be...

    Making final payment

    When I bought my second car I paid $2,200 cash, carried it in my pocket from the bank, riding a bicycle. Today's equivalent would be $100,000+ and an Uber. Things have changed a bit, but I do like the ACH transfers that are now so easy to do.

    DreamDrive Pro

    No, both are needed. You get a small allowance for looking away or for not providing a force on the wheel, but it wants to know you're engaged.

    A little birdie told me.. (CarPlay)

    I don't know if we can rely on that. @Bobby was heading out on a road trip, wanted CarPlay, and we figured it would become available while he was driving home! 😆

    Tire blow out and jack point

    The Gross Weight (fully loaded max permitted) is over 6,000 lbs (check your sticker on the door frame), so 1,500 lbs per tire wouldn't be within specs. 1,700 would be. Not that you might ever drive at the max weight, but if you were to be in an accident that could be a factor the insurance...

    Auto Park Feature

    Curious that the Delivery Advisor said it wasn't available; did you ask why? Should be an available feature. Depends on having the cameras and sensors working, of course, and a few other things. Have you reviewed "Parking Experience" in the Owner's Manual for the procedure? I assume you're...
