    Wifi disconnects when car sleeps and doesn't reconnect

    So my question is if the car is asleep in my garage and therefore not connected to my wi-fi when an OTA update is sent out, does that mean it is relying on a weaker LTE signal to receive the OTA update?

    Air music audio balance observation

    Interestingly when listening to a Dolby Atmos recording on Tidal I don't believe you can adjust the audio settings???

    "Lucid’s Tech is Unmatched—But What About the Customer Experience?"

    My initial experience at the Valley Fair Lucid "Store" with Yusuf Kadermia in March, 2021, when I placed my deposit up to and through the delivery in March 2022 and continuing with my experiences with Christopher Robinson and Ron Reyes and their team at the Millbrae Center have been far beyond...

    Hope for V2H (at least in California?)

    Can't come soon enough for me. Been waiting almost three years.

    Taycan Turbo GT goes 0-60 in 1.9, beating Lucid Air Sapphire

    The Trofeos vs the Lucid Sapphire stock tires will make a difference at the Nurburgring. I'm much less interested in 0-60 times but the overall results on the Nordschieif (North Loop) of the Nurburgring (just under 13 miles long) is an excellent measure of a car's overall performance...

    Taycan Turbo GT goes 0-60 in 1.9, beating Lucid Air Sapphire

    Tires do make a difference. While the stock tires on the Sapphire are outstanding they will not match the much softer compound "track" tires that I suspect the Taycan was equipped with. The Nurburgring is a very long track and thus the track tires could account for a significant difference in...

    New Owner - Car Enthusiast is Exuberant!

    Nice write up. I'm also a car enthusiast. Thank you for your service I am also an Army veteran. I too have owned numerous American, German and Japanese cars during my lifetime and the Lucid is by far the best overall. It is still a very young company that is constantly evolving and has not...

    Lucid Air as a car to teach my teenage daughter driving?

    The thick A pillar is an issue that you need to take into account. As you move forward to a "T" intersection with free flowing traffic (no stop signs) it can block cars coming from either the left or the right. So my solution is to move more slowly in those situations until I can clearly make...

    Taycan Turbo GT goes 0-60 in 1.9, beating Lucid Air Sapphire

    I actually really like the looks of the Taycan (but not the Turismo which to me just looks like a low slung station wagon). The back seat in the Taycan is terrible but that wasn't really a concern for me as I never intended to be in the back seat.

    Getting good numbers

    I'm probably not the right person to comment on "efficiency" since I don't really think about it when I'm driving. My Trip A and B efficiency has always been right around 3.1 and I haven't seen any difference with the latest update. That said I haven't driven all that far since updating.

    Taycan Turbo GT goes 0-60 in 1.9, beating Lucid Air Sapphire

    Having owned four Porsches over my years and tracked my 911 for five years on every road course in CA, I have a tremendous respect for Porsche engineering and the performance of their cars. If it hadn't of been for the Burlingame Porsche dealer screwing with me at the last minute, I would have...

    Lucid Air as a car to teach my teenage daughter driving?

    I love my Dream Performance Lucid and I especially appreciate my ability to pass quickly and safely when I need to do so. However, would I want an inexperienced driver having my 800+ horsepower (in Smooth Mode) available for that person to utilize? NO!!!

    No Cruise Control without HA?

    I use ACC all the time on local roads. With the latest update (2.4.3 in my case) it works perfectly and now has a longer auto resume feature when you are stopped at a traffic light behind other cars. When they take off my Lucid follows along without me having to do anything.

    Taycan Turbo GT goes 0-60 in 1.9, beating Lucid Air Sapphire

    Well we may find out soon. The Sapphire has been spotted at Nurburgring running laps. The EV record is held by a Taycan Turbo GT with the Weissach package. On Inside EV's website they indicate they don't believe the Sapphire can come close to that package so maybe we'll find out.

    Any issues using the LCHC with other EVs?

    I wouldn't know how to change the dipswitch?? So I guess it just adjusts as necessary. I do recall that it charged the GV60 at around 11 kW vs. 18kW on the Lucid. I'm not sure what it was on the Tesla but it worked fine for all three cars.

    Any issues using the LCHC with other EVs?

    I have charged my son't Tesla Model 3 Performance multiple times with no problem (using the Tesla provided adapter). I have also charged my wife's GV60 a couple of times without any problem but it has been a while.

    2.4.0 / 2.4.2 / 2.4.3 / 2.4.4 OTA

    Not sure if it is true in all cases but yes I do see my car on the front dash in its correct color. I have 2.4.3 and everything is again working fine just as it did on 2.4.0.

    2.4.0 / 2.4.2 / 2.4.3 / 2.4.4 OTA

    V2H was also touted when I bought my car; still waiting. Some people (not me) were told Android Auto was coming and they are still waiting. This is a relatively new company and priorities change along with technology improvements. Try to enjoy your car and move on. Alexa isn't coming back so...
