    A question about Tidal

    Tidal interface sans-Lucid is legendarily known for being of poor design or consideration. There are some tricks to it, like you can hit the ((.)) button a few icons to the right of the > "Next" track and it will play "similar"-ish songs, so say if you're playing the band, Boston, and you...

    Air Dream Performance initial thoughts

    I'm going to add that my original USB issue was solved by purchasing a 32Gb Fat32 native, quality USB stick. I had tried formatting it to FAT32 by various means with a different stick but was somehow unsuccessful (even though it said FAT32?) It's weird some USB flash drives are like that. I...

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

    I actually took off the rear headrests as they come out easily, and lowered the rear shade. Inside my garage, the car assumes it's "night time" and so the headlights come on and sure enough, the rearview mirror dims from the outside brightness! (Not much, but it dims.) I think the shade and...

    Tired of lack of Android support

    There are "unofficial" names for Google Fan-boys. At the End-Date, some Apps might still function, though unpredictably at-best. Usually after 6 months of the End Date, most Apps will no longer function whatsoever. Also, the Code Name is shown in the Secret Phone menu if you unlock it at the...

    Tired of lack of Android support

    I am currently using my Android-OS Lucid-App right now on a Pixel 9 Pro XL with no issues and the current Android version (Vanilla Ice Cream) 15. Android 11 (Red Velvet Cake) came out 5 years ago. Most Apps probably aren't going to work, not even Waze at this point. I admit I myself also...

    Tired of lack of Android support

    As far as I know, waiting on Google personnel (who are potentially on "minimum manning" right now). I'd wager by the end of the month. Google employs a.. "young and modern audience" and you can make your own opinions on that business model and work ethic paradigm, as each generation has their...

    Air Dream Performance initial thoughts

    I would love to meet and subsequently gush over Peter for his brilliance. I think he is not praised enough. He's like the Paco de Lucia of cars; brilliant and under-appreciated. It's my opinion he may have changed the automotive world more so than Elon and the world doesn't quite know it yet...

    Air Dream Performance initial thoughts

    I'm lucky and fortunate enough to purchase a Lucid Air Dream Performance (#234) and here are my initial thoughts. As a frame of reference, I've owned several moderately sporty cars and luxury-y sedans over the years, so I can compare them to those. My list of owned cars in my lifetime are...

    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...
