I posted a week ago about not having received my $7,500 rebate from Lucid for my Air Touring. I contacted the chief delivery advisor at Goose Island, Chicago, from which I had picked up my Lucid. He said the checks were mailed last week (April 3-7). At the worst USPS speed from Newark, CA to...

It is curious why car manufacturers (not just Lucid) are behind the curve. FAT32 is an old and rather primitive file format. Microsoft replaced it with exFAT (designed specifically for external drives). I would be happy if the car could read NTFS formatted drives. I'm not certain if this is a...

Although I have yet to have a tire problem, I contacted Pirelli via its website asking how to register for the warranty and how to buy road hazard insurance. That was a week ago and have not heard back from them.

I picked up my Lucid Air Touring at Goose Island, Chicago, Friday, February 10. The night before (2/9) I received a revised purchase agreement with the $7,500 price rebate. I executed it and it was accepted. However, I already had the cashier's check from my bank for the original amount and...

Kudos to Lucid for incorporating CarPlay. Whether you use it or not, as they say, "your mileage may vary." There's a most interesting article on the Ars Technica website by Roberto Baldwin today (4/3) about GM dropping CarPlay. I am excerpting one paragraph. "Software-driven vehicles should be...

I was visiting Mountain View, CA last week and saw a Lucid decked out like a Google Waymo test vehicle with all the special sensors and Mars-like light atop. The body was finished in a pattern that repeatedly spelled Lucid. Not sure if this was a Lucid car being used to map streets and highways...

I concur. If a politically neutral administrator ran Tesla, I would have judged its cars strictly on their merit. I recently spent a weekend in the backseat of friends' two-year old Model 3 and found it quite comfortable (and I'm 6'1"). They said they have not had one day of trouble with the...

Perhaps Lucid needs to consider *all* employees from the very top down when it comes to layoffs. I realize Peter is sacred to most members of this forum, but perhaps he is a better engineer than administrator? I get the feeling that some of Lucid's management issues are not fully addressed. On...

I completed a round-trip between my small town near Champaign, IL and Rockford, IL on Sunday (3/5), charging at an EA at Sam's Club in Rockford. The car averaged 2.9 miles/kWh for the trip. I consider that acceptable considering the ambient outdoor temperature was 38 degrees and we kept the...

The Lucid Air was the only EV about which I felt passionate. I simply gave up living past 90, since that's as long as my retirement investments will last now that I've bought the Touring. <g>

I should have made it clear so that the above answer is not the solution. The state of charge was 30 percent when I tried to lower the setting back to "daily" at 80 percent. Fortunately, the phone app overruled the Pilot Panel and it charged to 80 percent as I intended,

I set the Lucid Touring charge limit to 96 percent because we were taking a long trip. Now, I can't get it to return to 80 percent. I can change it via the phone app, but not on the Pilot Panel, and the Pilot Panel does not reflect changes made via the phone app. Also, strangely, the clocks in...

When purchasing a car that cost north of $100K, I was surprised by the incomplete, skimpy instruction manual that came with my very complex Air Touring. The manual only covered the basic safety aspects. I was advised to print out the complete manual from Lucid's website, which I did. However...

FWIW: My Air Touring is now one month old. At about 800 miles in a combination of urban/rural driving, mostly at an average temperature of 45 degrees, I've achieved 3.2 mi/kWh.. I can't wait for spring with somewhat warmer temperatures to extend my range. But I am not greatly upset over 3.2...

Many new cars include digital speed displays or combined digital / analog. The Lucid is digital with the charge / discharge display in a semi-circle above the speed. I'd sure love to have the option of an analog speedometer instead of the charge / discharge display, which moves down to the...

No radio transmitters of which I'm aware. I frequently drive this route. Tonight driving through empty cornfields the "front camera failure" warning appeared for 15 seconds then disappeared. I know there was no obstruction to the front camera. Strange.

Was driving on the highway in cruise control when suddenly received a "right rear radar" error message, that it was non-functioning. It stayed lit for about 30 seconds and that was the last I saw it for the next 200 miles. Was this a fluke? It said to contact customer care, but since it did not...

I decided to test the range of my three week old Touring. I planned a round-trip between my home in central Illinois and the north Chicago suburb of Evanston. Upon parking in Evanston at 161 miles I had used 51 percent of my charge. With the temperature falling, I had to recharge for the return...

Sorry about the previous blank post, computer malfunction. Anyway, the same thing happens to me when it rains:

I had to ask my sales advisor for a new delivery advisor last December. I have the world's greatest sales advisor, Oliver out in CA. He always was there for me. My original DA did not seem that interested in my obtaining a Lucid. So my SA, Oliver, arranged a new DA for me who was much more...
