    Lucid Air or BMW i5

    We bought our Lucid Air Pure in June 2023 as a replacement car for my wife. I've been a BMW owner since the mid-90s and been looking to replace my ICE 335xi with a like EV (which does not exist, yet). I’m keeping an eye on upcoming EV models (right now at the top of the list is the Dodge...

    Mobile key not working

    Something to be aware of, as it was explained to me, is the the key fob uses bluetooth, not RF, which uses up battery life quickly and can cause the fob not to function as expected. When we first got our car and were having this issue, which still persists, is to replace the key fob battery...

    How often do you inflate your tires?

    I have the same tires. When our weather was sub-zero, my tires went down to 40 psi and the car alerted me. I inflated to 49/50 psi. But, when it warmed up the tires over inflated to almost 60 psi with no alert from the car. I feel the TPS system should alert to under and over inflated tires...

    Car Washing...what are your tips and tricks

    I can't address your questions directly. But, to avoid some of these issues I got my car completely ceramic coated and applied PPF = paint protection film to the front clip/quarter panels. From my observation, the ceramic coating does a good job repelling dirt, spots, etc. I only go to a...

    Another front license plate question

    I concur with Billvb, purely aesthetics. On other cars I've been without a front plate for 30+ years always at risk of getting a ticket where I live, Illinois. Chicago seems to be the only place I get tickets for this transgression (a number of years ago after getting booted at O'Hare I...

    Energy limited due to cold battery

    With respect to preconditioning the manual states the following: "Preconditioning optimizes the temperature of the battery so it receives the maximum amount of charging from a fast charging station. Your Lucid Air can precondition your battery before fast charging".... "Note: Preconditioning is...

    Energy limited due to cold battery

    With the recent sub zero temps battery performance was greatly reduced. Gut feel is efficiency was down 30-40% which is significant, especially when going on longer drives. I'm curious to get other people's experiences with cold weather driving, i.e. - 10 degrees to sub-zero.

    Drive Settings - HOLD

    I'm still not sure in what situations I would use Creep, other then parking. Would it be useful in highway stop and go driving? In this situation would the car stop itself before hitting the car in front? Still not sure when I would use this feature.

    Software download

    To set the record straight. I've been on cable, ie - Comcast, Ameritech ADSL before that. for a long time. Presently I have over a 1.2 TB of internet data per month, that's a lot or so I thought until the Lucid showed up. I'm trying to understand why my internet usage doubled in July, and the...

    Not exactly. There is a limit that if you exceed you're charged extra, unless you have an unlimited plan.

    Thank you. You confirmed what I suspected. Think I'll take the car off the home wifi and see what happens.

    Software download

    Are sw updates downloaded via home wifi or through the car's wireless? I've had my car a month and in the past month my home wireless usage has spiked significantly, it's doubled, which is costing me more with my ISP. I attribute this to the car but can't confirm yet.

    Profiles

    We just got our Lucid this past week. Still learning how to interact with the car and use all it's features. One of the main issues I'm experiencing is getting my profile to load consistently prior to entering the car. I cannot get into the car if my wife last drove it. The seat is too far...
