Noticed an interesting quirk with CarPlay and the nearby airport (SJC). A local freeway (CA 87) runs parallel to the main runway and is elevated near the south runway threshold. Whenever I pass that spot the music on CarPlay wireless will stutter a handful of times, making me wonder if some...

I now wonder if the tires are in the reverse direction; I eyeballed the tires post-install but I was "distracted" after having to replace three tires for one pothole so I might have missed something. Is the foam part of the tire or is added by the installer? - T

I had to replace three (!!!) 21” tires after hitting a pothole (or crater) in Los Angeles; and now I hear a hum/buzz at speed in the front tires that wasn’t there before. An alignment check showed toe and camber at nominal. Anyone have any other theories? Otherwise it’s a trip back the the...

Right behind you. Less than 4500, two potholes serving up two blowouts and two bubbles in the Pirellis. Wondering if the Pirellis are just fancy brave-name garbage. - T

In the alternate, I wonder if the infotainment modem chip handles both Bluetooth for steaming and Wi-Fi for CarPlay. BT for phone->car streaming was flakey until a few updates went through. - T

The flakiness of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth makes me wonder if there’s some sort of issue with whatever wireless modem chip Lucid uses. One wonders if the chip or daughter board needs a firmware update. - T

Wireless CarPlay was wonky when I’d get into my car at home. The “CarPlay” icon wouldn’t always show on the Lucid Home Screen, while other times music wouldn’t play (I’d press the play button, and it would flicker between the play and pause icon). My hunch is that the Lucid Wi-Fi can’t properly...

CarPlay arrived for me Saturday. Works as well as expected. I did discover something wild with the Amazon app. I was listening to Music through CarPlay and accidentally switched to the Amazon app on my phone. The audio cut out briefly, then returned at a lower fidelity while the internal phone...

… you got an email? I got NOTHING. <sob> - T

Pothole No $530 Lucid @ Millbrae N/A Yes

Got the Lucid graphite all weather mats. They fit well and don’t move. I like how the driver may blends away the seam between the left foot rest and the floor. - T

There’s a service center in Millbrae, CA (near San Francisco airport) where I went for some warranty work. They are slammed; they’re the only SC for 300+ miles and one of only two in CA until the one near Sacramento opens. - T

I wonder if the timer detects if a passenger is in the car (at least, if a front seat passenger is). I end up leaving my phone with a passenger if I have to step out because I’m afraid the car will lock if I’m not inside with a mobile key. - T

What’s weird is that turning on the 20 minute climate timer sometimes, but not always, stops the car powering down while charging while I’m inside. I’ve chalked it up as another software gremlin. - T

Weirdly, I was offered the .50 update, installed it, but now the "about" still says .48. I had the same thing happen a few revs ago and heard that the version number doesn't necessarily change after installation, which is maddening because I can't tell if the car failed to install, silently...

In case you get the headlight auto-leveling warning light: mine came on after I bottomed out going over a speed bump, but it looks like the headlights will recalibrate and reset themselves after parking/restarting the car. - T

There doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason to why an EA charger limits the charge rate. Of the dozen times I’ve used EA 150 kW chargers, I’ve gotten limited once… but with no explanation beyond “charging limited by charger”, which is largely uninformative. - T

OK ok okay I installed 2.0.45... and it still said .36... but now it is offering 2.0.47. 25% installed... let's see if the version number goes up. - T

And right on cue, 2.0.45 arrived today.

I started installing 2.0.36 and came back to find my car still on 2.0.35 and no option to install .36… anyone else see that happen? - T
