    Drive system fault

    ...the left battery coolant pump, left wiper motor and rear drive motor coolant pump short circuited, gave me a drive system error and 50mph turtle mode. Lucid respnded rapidly, got me and the family a ride home, towed the car the next day and the Natick center fixed it. Even if a reboot...

    Drive System Fault Megathread

    That’s the point of turtle mode. Think of it as a “safe mode” in which everything runs cooler and slower, specifically so as *not* to damage the motor or other components.

    Driving Power Reduced

    Turtle mode seen from several problems but many previous posts report replacement of rear drive unit.

    Spoke to Darwin at Tyson's Corner this afternoon. They are unable to reproduce the fault thus far but are still looking into the logs to see what happened and taking test drives to try to reproduce it. He expressed sincere apology for my frustration with the Drive System Alert issues, and...

    [Edmunds] TESTED: 2022 Lucid Air Grand Touring Misses EPA Range by Nearly 80 Miles

    ...depletion (see out of spec Dave’s road trip video where he accidentally skipped a stop the car recommended, and he still made it but in turtle mode with 3 mi remaining!), as the navigation is actually very good at predicting what your arrival SOC% will be, it’s only the “miles remaining”...

    ...first for me). I snapped a photo the second time, and reported it to Customer Care. About 20 minutes later, we got "Drive System Fault" turtle mode, and the car slowed down on I-95 to about 35-40 mph. I did not love that. I put the hazard flashers on and managed to make it to a service...

    Battery System fault

    ...it because service has yet to take a look and explain it won't happen again in the middle of the freeway or something. I thought the "turtle mode" was bad when I had that earlier, but the 2min warning to stopping fully is straight terrifying. On that note, mildly annoyed with service. Too...

    Yeah, discouraged sums it up. I told everyone that I'm more disappointed than angry. Please let respond with the issue when you find out.

    Touring went into Turtle mode last night at 540 miles. Was able to limp home and trying to deal with Seattle Service now. Pretty discouraged... : (

    My Friend's Lucid Air Pure cannot have Launch Control!

    Definitely not a motor failure as the car is very good at throwing up errors that will put it into turtle mode if that were true. User error.

    GOT VIN #! New owner concerns.

    The clamp that held the coolant hose got loose, and it starting rubbing against the front axle, causing a leak. At least it was driveable, and did not go into turtle mode.

    GOT VIN #! New owner concerns.

    ...piece of wheel well trim that had come loose. -12K mile service and also replace a dented piece of window trim that got hit by a rock. -turtle mode after a sequence of events which makes me think a broken EVGo charger damaged the car. They needed to replace left battery coolant pump, rear...

    Lucid Air GTP drive system fault

    Contactor issue was limited to vehicles produced from October 2021 to i think October 2022. Check you me build date, but if a reset doesn’t fix @Grateful Ed issue, it may be complete replacement.. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2023/RCLRPT-23V110-7457.PDF Here’s the recall.

    Lucid Air GTP drive system fault

    Text customer service and say it’s urgent and you have turtle mode and can’t go above 35mph. This may be due to that contactor issue they just discovered and issued a recall for. I hope for a speedy resolution for you!

    RESOLVED Frunk won’t open since cold weather started

    ...by the way. I had my latches replaced and lo and behold I had the issue happen again while leaving Chicago. Had to go to a charger in turtle mode because my front trunk wouldn’t close and hope that the sun would come out and heat up the latches enough while charging. I got it closed, but when...

    Luck o' the Irish

    This accident occurred near the place a piece of metal in the road cut my front tire a couple of months earlier. I managed to get the car off the road, but it took me over three hours to find a tow company that could get a truck that far out. In this accident which was blocking a large...

    ...involved. They need to have some way to triage CS communications, do they not do that? Disabled/crashed car should be priority 1A, someone complaining about slow charging should be priority Z. I’d just assume they do have some way to triage given how rapidly they responded to my Turtle mode.

    32 Days, 1,100 miles in my Lucid Air Touring

    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...

    Email from Lucid: "Don’t miss out—10 days left to secure your original pricing."

    ...but then it turned out my drive motor and battery coolant pumps got short circuited probably by the EVGo charger and needed a tow due to turtle mode. Second trip to NYC charged at EA in White Plains NY but was slow at 70kw. - 1 trip to Woodstock NY, successful chargers at EA in Albany NY...
