    Driving in Snow

    Being retired, I can hunker down during the actual storms, and I don't ski, so I've been feeling fine about my Air Touring with jjust all-seasons. I've wondered how useful the socks would be.....can anyone speak from experience on them? Thanks.

    Clicking sound from under the car in cold weather

    Is this "AGS" the same thing that Chilly and Borski are calling "louvres"? I'd guessed that meant the plastic flaps in front of the wheels, but I guess not.....what is the AGS, and/or the louvres? (Prepping for my car to be delivered in a week or so; thought it'd be spring but it looks like...

    Lease Deals are INSANELY GREAT

    Blue Lectroid and West of Boston: Like others, I'm very keyed into the Residual that you'd pay if you decide to keep it. I expect to keep my Pure more than 3 years, as I don't really expect the next gen batteries to be fully deployed til a bit later; that 2nd car will be my "forever" Lucid...

    Help is on the way - the state of new charging stations

    Related, but potentially more of a game-changer, is this other announcement last week: https://www.theverge.com/2024/12/4/24312002/ev-plug-and-charge-universal-protocol-sae-pki-roaming The idea is a shared protocol allowing drivers to skip the individual charger-company apps -- to recognize...

    Range Questions after first trip

    Interesting to see here that the EPA 5-cycle test applies a 0.7x conversion to the highway miles achieved on the test, BEFORE doing the combination factor with the city driving. So the reported highway MPGe is already adjusted for more aggressive driving...?? If the 2-cycle tests, which...

    Range Questions after first trip

    That looks pretty minor….what’s driving the $30K bill? Were there sensor/safety issues that precluded you driving it til parts come, though you could drive it in to the shop? (If you’ve gone into all this elsewhere, just say so and I’ll search it out!)

    Does every 2025 DreamDrive have 360?

    When I called the national sales line to ask about these early ‘25 Pures with only base DreamDrive (so no cameras except backup view), I was told that some of the early ‘25s also do NOT have the heat pump. If I was looking at any of the “on site” 2025’s, I’d want them to check on the heat pump...

    Any insights on (potentially) expiring Air/EV/Onsite credits on 11/30/24?

    They roll out the credits a month at a time—you’ll see most in December too, but nothing is guaranteed…

    Battery temp and "Regenerative braking reduced" warning

    In winter and high summer, does this "manage the battery temp" include some heating and cooling, separate from triggering the "preconditioning" operation? I guess I mean, then, does the battery conditioning (heating/cooling) system operate automatically when plugged in during extreme climate...

    Battery temp and "Regenerative braking reduced" warning

    If I keep the car plugged in when at home (somewhere I heard "a happy car is a plugged in car"??), then in winter I could presumably pre-condition prior to heading out, with the car topping itself off as needed, up to its pre-set max. Yes? (I think that this, and/or pre-heating the cabin in...

    UX 2.5 OTA Update

    This is interesting to me, what with all the flaky wifi reports here and there on the forum. My home wifi could be marginal to the garage; if I don't use wifi in the car, can Bluetooth be my link between phone and car, for initiating charging, etc? (I plan to use the Lucid Mobile Charger...

    UX 2.5 OTA Update

    This is new to me. Did all 2025 models (including Pure) get a computer or processor upgrade? What is known about the types of improvement it should/could offer?

    What if? -- maintaining Airs if Lucid US disappears

    Thanks to all for your input on this thread. I definitely wasn't looking for (impossible) certainty, just for others' ways of holding the inherent uncertainty of loving a vehicle from a company that still has at least some reasonable chance of failing to make it through the daunting ramp-up...

    Are the 2025 builds getting better?

    I used the referral link from someone up my way, and while the website failed to include it in the order, my local sales team was easily able to add it afterwards. So you should be fine!

    Are the 2025 builds getting better?

    Ha! Me too, just finished placing my order. A semi-loaded Pure....(DDPro, C&C, 20-way; sure to make me happy, and hopefully ease a private sale someday!) Thanks to all for the input in several recent threads!

    Battery temp and "Regenerative braking reduced" warning

    This is what I'm interested in hearing about from those who've lived with their cars for awhile: I'm *assuming* that the experiential difference when regenerative braking is "reduced" is fairly subtle in most cases, at least these temperature-dependent ones--as MrAschko found. Yes...

    Are the 2025 builds getting better?

    Great thread, refreshing to see an active collection of reports from the “no troubles” crowd!

    Custom Order for Air Touring - Conflicting Delivery Expectations

    This caught my attention, since I’m on the verge of ordering “just what I want” on an Air Pure, and am ready to wait the 3-4 months…..but fully expecting I’ll receive a car that matches my order (including accepting that one of my chosen options automatically triggers one I wouldn’t choose, but...

    What if? -- maintaining Airs if Lucid US disappears

    While I don’t EXPECT this to happen, it does seem like there’s probably a 10-25% chance that Lucid doesn’t make it through the money-bleeding part of the ramping up cycle, with the company either going belly up, or--perhaps more likely--the Saudis taking it private and deciding the US market...

    Early production 2025 Air Pures without DDPremium standard -- and some with no heat pumps?

    In prepping for my 2nd visit to my regional Studio, I called the national Lucid sales line to run through a few preliminary questions. While browsing and mocking up some 2025 Air Pure packages and lease duration options, I'd noticed that sometimes (fairly often) the "Available Cars" showing up...
