    Does the rear window shade effect the auto-dimming rear view mirror?

    Nice! Seems we're close, I'm #234. I know there was a sort of hardware update on the speakers on some models with Surround Pro. I reset the Infotainment system after software update 2.5 and noticed the bass was improved but now clipping, especially if the EQ bass is set to maximum (aka barely...

    Does the rear window shade effect the auto-dimming rear view mirror?

    Drove this evening my new 2022 Dream-P and noticed a few things that seemed unusual: The rear view mirror was not dimming, though I did have the rear-window-shade up yet car lights were very bright behind me. Does the software affect this dimming feature when it's up? The Passenger Airbag light...

    Lucid Air Touring v Porsche Taycan

    Space is not needed, as I'm used to Lotus Elise Touring as a daily driver. Performance-wise, the Air GT and Taycan seem similar but the Air has a faster 0-100 mph. If the Air GT was fitted with GT-P rubber, it'd potentially get close to the Taycan GTS lateral-g of 1.0 compared to the Air's 0.9...

    Key not found frequently - requires passcode

    I've had this issue on my C6 Corvette and I found if I make sure my bluetooth is off on my Android phone, the keyfob always works. If I have bluetooth turned on inside the car with my phone, sometimes there's frequency interference. I turn it off on my phone and then pow! the car recognized...

    Lucid Air Touring v Porsche Taycan

    Seems Porsche sorted out their early bugs then! Could be luck-of-the-draw. Really hard for me to choose between a GTS and an Air GT... Some Porsche folks did not have the same positive experience, however, as you have; with weeks in-the-shop. I'll keep lurking back and forth like a creeper...

    Lucid Air Touring v Porsche Taycan

    Living on the Taycan Forums for a few weeks now and there is some fuss about electronic issues here and there as well as a common heater-failure issue that seems to have been sorted with a new supplier in the '25 models. Some issues with the high-voltage computers flaking-out is also pretty...

    Low-Regenerative mode?

    I think it's a matter of perspective, though maybe in "modes". I think the Tesla S Plaid has a few settings and I was probably in a softer, more compliant one. I think I might have been in "Chill" or "Standard", not sure. I wasn't hip on goofing off with the menus while engaged in aggressive...

    Low-Regenerative mode?

    Ah! That explains a few things, then. The salesman was slick but not knowledgeable it seems. Instead, what I felt would have been maybe a "sticky brake pedal" or since likely a fly-by-wire digital experience, the levels of engagement are ramped-up at certain intervals? It was a brand-new '22...

    Low-Regenerative mode?

    Is "OFF" completely off, or is there a tiny bit of natural feeling regen like ICE engine braking? One way to tell would be during coasting you'd see the digital dial go into the regen area a bit. I also suspect there's a regen-only engagement with the brake pedal; I've felt the two types of...

    Low-Regenerative mode?

    There's a "No Regen" mode for the GT and Touring?! Is this backwards compatible with the DP and GT-P? :p

    Low-Regenerative mode?

    Is the low-regenerative mode still only available on the Pure? I test drove a GT in March of last year and found the "Standard" regenerative mode to be "grabby". I would liken the "Standard" to be similar to the "L" or maximum-regenerative mode of the Chevy Volt Gen 1 and Gen 2 and Cadillac ELR...

    Handling between 3 models impressions?

    I think it depends on a lot of factors. Most folks aren't like me such that I will add leather conditioner to the both my cars' seats every week or so. My C6 is a 2012 and they look new. My 2018 CT6 seats are also buttery smooth and supple. Some car companies may use poor leather quality, or...

    Handling between 3 models impressions?

    With the Touring, you can only get 20-Way with the PureLux I believe currently.

    Handling between 3 models impressions?

    Wow, this is great feedback! Because the Lucid isolates the user pretty significantly, the perception of speed and handling is distorted in a positive, comforting sort of way. This is sort of like riding a Ninja 250 motorcycle at 45 mph and it feels like a blast when you aren't doing much...

    Handling between 3 models impressions?

    That explains quite a lot, then! If you set it to "swift or sprint" modes, when you exit and come back to the car, does it remember your settings or do you have to re-activate it?

    Handling between 3 models impressions?

    Excellent responses, thank you! Lots of common-sense here, which is why this forum and the people on it are so awesome! I've owned 3 EVs before, a Cadillac ELR and a Gen1 and Gen2 Chevy Volt (not quite hybrids because power only comes from the battery, the engine only provides electricity to...

    Handling between 3 models impressions?

    I'm potentially in the market for a GT and have been studying the car for about a year, watching the configuration changes, etc. I was able to (somehow) test-drive a 2023 GT for about 10 minutes around a parking lot. Vehicle handling and feel is very important to me. The luxury was on-par with...

    GT-P vs GT computer and other bits?

    Turo is a good idea! I'll see if there's one available. (YEP! a Touring). I'll give it a try, thanks segbrk!!

    GT-P vs GT computer and other bits?

    There's been some significant changes between the 2022 and 2025 model years, such as the heat-pump (I'm in Colorado so that's useful for range loss in cold weather), and I believe a computer update (not just software). Early models of any cars can be somewhat temperamental as companies iron-out...
