    Cold weather battery tips

    I'm looking forward to "seizing the day" on one of this week's frigid ones to see how it does....I'll start topping off the charge when I wake up and head out a couple hours later, with a warmed battery. The day will dawn at around 2F (warmer in the garage), and top out at maybe 18F with a...

    Cold weather battery tips

    Good to know. I definitely noticed the charging desert if I was headed way Downeast....past the mid-coast or Augusta, virtually (maybe literally) nothing til Canada....

    Cold weather battery tips

    I'm in Kennebunk, just a bit over a mile from the exit there. Good to hear that your experience seems to be that en-route Preconditioning doesn't eat too much SOC. I'll look forward to checking that out for myself when I head out on a longer trip before long (and will surely be...

    Damn Lucid! My efficiency just …

    Yup, I"ve been it that same "just under 4" range driving around Maine and New Hampshire with temps in the upper 20s--though not much on highways. On a highway drive 65-70mph the other day, hit 3.67 at similar outside temps. A happy camper; can't wait to see the numbers during our 6-7 months of...

    Cold weather battery tips

    My AT is garaged here in southern Maine; I think that the lowest registered "cabin temp" as we start the day has been around 25-28F. I keep it plugged in to my 50A circuit, using the Lucid Mobile Charger. I've never heard any battery conditioning going on OTHER than when topping off a charge...

    RESOLVED Frunk Issue

    Phew, quite a wait but glad they fixed the issue at its root…I suppose the delay was largely that they wanted to wait for the re-engineered version of the part. (I sure hope my Nov.’24-built AT got that new one too…!!)

    Real world range touring 19 inch wheels

    It showed 222 mi, using 55kWh, since last charge (not reset Trip)…. Though I do think I recall at times (other days) seeing slight discrepancies between the pilot panel readings and the dash, by a kWh or two. What’s that about? (Perhaps related to your reset question—actually the discrepancy...

    Extension cord for 40A Mobile Charging Cable Kit

    I’m all set at home with a heavy duty 50A plug ready to feed an EV for hours. On the road, staying with friends for a night or two is the use case I’m exploring for the 30A option. Yes, for sure only the modern 14-30; went thru that with a new drier recently. I’d be using Lucid’s 30A optional...

    New owner gratitude to the Forum community

    I just wanted to give a shout out to everyone here on the forum. Spending a few months here, prior to my final purchase decision and awaiting delivery, were invaluable in helping me establish realistic expectations about the car. This includes tempering that pesky idealized sense of range and...

    Extension cord for 40A Mobile Charging Cable Kit

    I'd been thinking I might want to be able to plug into friends' 30A drier outlets using the Mobile charger w/30A plug option. For this, I'd been picturing getting a heavy-duty extension cord designed for 30A use (ie with the standard 30A male/female at its ends). Any advice about this plan...

    3 weeks into my Lucid Air Touring Ownership Experience – love the car, absolutely hate the stereo.

    While I knew what I was getting, and I definitely didn't feel a need to drop more $$ on my car stereo than my home one, I have to agree that they could/should have done better with the base system. Not sure if any of the tuning they're doing with OTAs will help us out, of it's mostly for...

    Real world range touring 19 inch wheels

    I just did my first long winter cruise into the edge of Maine's western hills from here along the southern coast. It wasn't a bitterly cold winter day; temps hovered right around freezing, sunny, little wind. It was the first time I'd topped the battery up to 100%, just to see how it did. I...

    Real world range touring 19 inch wheels

    Do you pre-condition by unplugging from power and initiating pre-conditioning from the Pilot Panel, as if you were headed for a charging station? ie, sacrificing some SOC to get the battery up to temp? IF so, seems well worth it when just driving locally. I had been looking for how to...

    UX 2.5 OTA Update

    I thought it was worth noting on this thread that since the incremental update last week, the iOS app hasn’t crashed once for me. Previously, it was freezing and giving up upon opening every day or two, necessitating a deletion and reinstallation. Hip hip!

    How often do you reboot?

    I wonder if there is a thread somewhere on this forum that has a description of each of the kinds of reboot, and the types of issues that are associated with each. I’m aware of the logo reset, and the steering wheel two buttons and brake reset. But I’ve also heard tell of a “hard” reset, which...

    Solid State EV Batteries coming sooner than expected - 2025??!!

    No timeline here for how long it will take to go from this initial demonstration project to mass production and integration into cars on the market… is 3 to 5 years a reasonable possibility? Still, always good to see some practical steps forward!

    Any option for GAP insurance for lucid cars?

    I was just told by a Natick CS rep that the Lucid leases (Tryon) include GAP coverage....does this seem right? (still haven't seen the lease details; not sent til 48hrs before delivery!?!) One of the insurers I'm considering offers a GAP option ($70/yr), the other does not.

    Tuxmat Help Needed

    What's the primary reason(s) that you all are looking to avoid using the Lucid mats? (my car's arriving earlier than expected in Maine and while I'd be way open to something better, the house brand may be my best immediate option at this point)

    Clicking sound from under the car in cold weather

    It would be helpful to get a bit more definitive answer as to whether this is something that is Just Fine to drive with until things warm up and melt, or whether the noise (clicking, etc) indicates something that could or would eventually break. Those of you who've had this happen, did it...

    Driving in Snow

    Great, just knowing they actually do help in poor conditions is good to know. I won't be heading to the mountains in winter, but there may be a day when things are more dicey than I usually bother to go out in....
