Well, how about that. The driver front tire has a bubble after three months. Upside: I have the warranty from the replacement I did three months ago. But after that it's time to replace the 21" rims with 19". In other news... are we able to use other 19" tires if/when the OEM Pirellis bite it...

So… in the event that the power fails, how does one open the doors from the outside? I don’t see how this is possible unless there’s a physical way to bypass the electronic lock, which seems insecure. https://www.azfamily.com/2024/06/20/toddler-trapped-car-when-tesla-battery-dies-scottsdale/ - T

For sure my phone connects to CarPlay more reliably after 2.2.2. I still have the workaround set up to force CarPlay as the audio source over Bluetooth, though; maybe I’ll pause the Automation and see if 2.2.2 always picks the correct audio source. Now if we could just get rid of the...

Well, this is wild. I drove past the same spot today after the 2.2.2 update, waited for the inevitable audio stutter… and the stutter never happened. I’ll check again when I go by but I’m baffled by the idea that a software fix might have fixed radio interference. On top of that, after I made...

Sorry - I ought to have been more clear - I think something may be wonky with the _cell_ modems in the cars. - T

What continues to baffle me is how the car wakes up the garage like an overeager puppy if I walk in with my phone “key”, but is generally slow when out and about. I assume that Bluetooth is Bluetooth is Bluetooth regardless of location… Incidentally, the fact that wake-up via Bluetooth is fast...

Given that most 2FA SMS codes arrive quickly enough when using most websites’s login UIs, I can’t help wondering if there’s just a bad lag or bug in the wake-up process itself. - T

After experiencing a _fifth_ tire issue (bubble on the front passenger sidewall)... I'm exercising my AT/DT warranty (and the Pirelli OEM warranty if it applies) to replace that again. - T

I’ve observed a weird glitch in the GPS system after receiving OTA 2.1.52 where twice now the GPS has drifted off position by what looks like a few tens of yards. My passenger got a photo of the display the first time (2024-02-10) in which the car thinks it’s on a side street parallel to the...

I noticed this week that the Restore buttons on the seat and steering settings remained greyed out even after moving the wheel and seats around. I ran into this problem before and required a service appointment to get it fixed. This time around, a logo reset + logging out and back into my...

Echoing @AnthonyInCO, America’s Tire / Discount Tire has been my go-to. Honest service, competitive pricing, and … walkable from my house. AT/DT (that would be a great cover band name) will also patch tires for free. Cynics will argue that it’s a ruse to get you in the door, but they’ve patched...

I can't type. I meant in the other direction. I've considered switching to 20" rims. Specifically to give my car more cushioning against potholes. (facepalm) - T

Yes. We didn't have a particularly cold winter 2022-23, but we had a lot of rain, followed by a lot of potholes. I should really have submitted a claim form to the state (it was a state road) but never got around to it and don't have any photos to prove the damage. I've considered switching to...

I think it's fair to feel aggrieved about having bubbled tires on what I assume is a relatively new Lucid. I experienced two blowouts and two bubbled tires due to winter-worn roads in both Northern (Bay Area) and Southern (LA) California. Worse, after the first blowout, I was stuck without my...

I'll second you on the lock/unlock lag. The only time the guaranteed not to be a lag is if I'm puttering back and forth between the kitchen and garage; then, the car locks and unlocks and locks like a dog begging for a walk. I'll go one better: I'd like one permanent home link button somewhere...

… is that an aftermarket pair of wireless charging bases in the center console? - T

The 2.1.3 update added an “easy entry” option to slide the front seats back (and I assume move the seat back into position after closing the door). - T

My ten minutes of driving with the Tesla FSD beta enabled included it hugging the curb like a drunk and aiming straight at the corner cuts while attempting to turn left. So, no, we aren't close by a long shot. - T

Update: Lucid Service in Millbrae replaced the front left and right wheel bearings and everything is back to normal with no “buzz”. As bonus, work was covered under warranty! In related news, a feature request: LIDAR pothole scanner… - T

Update: finally got into the service center and went on a freeway drive with a service tech. Within five seconds of driving he said “damaged wheel bearings”. So I’m getting new front bearings in a couple of weeks… 21” wheels look great but are dicey on the moon-like roads of CA. - T
