    Would you please clarify "options" as in: 1) options to buy Or 2) DreamDrive Pro is active and you have options to adjust the settings

    Confusing and Conflicting information from Lucid regarding equipment

    Remember, the lowered priced 2022 Grand Touring was to clear out the leftover which was very low in number. Even with that low number, the OP doesn't commit to buy DreamDrive Pro either. That again, makes this optional DreamDrive Pro group smaller. When was the last time you heard that a 2022...

    Confusing and Conflicting information from Lucid regarding equipment

    There's a similar case with click and buy Tesla AP1 (Autopilot version 1). https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/ap1-unlock-unavailable-in-mytesla.144327/ Tesla used to provide a click to buy menu on the web/app for AP1. Some saw that menu and waited until they would be sure that they want...

    Confusing and Conflicting information from Lucid regarding equipment

    Lucid doesn’t refuse taking the money. It used to provide click and buy to take the money. It still does take your money but not the convenient way. You need to manually do it with a human in Lucid.

    Confusing and Conflicting information from Lucid regarding equipment

    Remember all the viral complaints about Lucid software? The optional buy was short-lived so there are not many cases to justify the convenience for user to click and buy forever. That requires some ongoing software maintenance, interoperability... It might be cheaper to let a human worker to...

    Confusing and Conflicting information from Lucid regarding equipment

    If it was paid, it would say "DreamDrive Pro One Time Purchase" Since it's not documented, it was not paid even once. Remember the campaign to lower the price: Its offer doesn't have to last forever. If you didn't buy it timely, Lucid is not obligated to continue to offer you the convenient...

    Confusing and Conflicting information from Lucid regarding equipment

    Remember, the car's sticker is not a sales receipt. Everything is originally and correctly listed. However, at the time of sales, things can change. In my case, my Prius came with an expensive wheel that's reflected on the sticker. I complained and they physically switched them out but the...

    Confusing and Conflicting information from Lucid regarding equipment

    Sorry. My comprehension is poor. They are wrong. NOT all 2022 Grand Touring comes with DreamDrive Pro because Lucid started the campaign to lower the price by taking them away: https://insideevs.com/news/627491/lucid-lowers-air-grand-touring-starting-msrp-138000-usd/ I don't doubt that a...

    Confusing and Conflicting information from Lucid regarding equipment

    1. Not all 2022 Lucid have hardware for DreamDrive Pro. Only Grand Touring has the hardware but then later on, to lower the price, Lucid took to software off to make it an optional add-on for a limited time. 2. It sounds like your Grand Touring is among those with the hardware but with a...

    Tesla Supercharger first experience

    It's not about a brand like Tesla. The Air was specifically designed for 800V charging system and not 400V. The industry is going for 800V charging but not Tesla. Most of its cars and charging stations are 400V. Tesla has planned V4 Supercharger with 1000V but its implementation is in...

    Too cold to charge?!?! Huh?

    In general, it does take quite a while to warm the battery up for charging in extreme cold. I don't know how long because I don't experience subfreezing weather. However, I wouldn't be surprised as long as more than 4 hours in your case. Driving your car would help to warm your car up, thus...

    Great Car, Atrocious Customer Support - curious about others' experience and advice

    If there's a procedure that you have to go through Customer Service and you did, I think there's still value to seek help from a Service Center. The least they can do is to diagnose whether the issue is your car or the mobile connector and get that documented.

    Eliminate PIN

    It's painful to teach a valet to use the card and how to bypass the pin. It went from one ear, bypassing the brain and go straight through the other. Just hope Lucid would work soon on a Valet Mode. Like others suggested, for now, just hand over your fob to a valet to skip the PIN.

    No more Model S/X production

    Thanks to AI growth, IBM main frame business is still relevant. Last Q4, its revenue is up 21%. It needs software to run and its revenue is up 14%. It can't compete with cheap personal computers but governments (my guess that includes the huge growth in funding for Immigration and Customs...

    Great Car, Atrocious Customer Support - curious about others' experience and advice

    The prolonged response is far from an acceptable standard. Are you near a Service Center that you can drive to and ask for help in person?

    Why Donut labs solid state battery could be real

    Here's an article on hype: Technology Issues: 1. poor ionic conductivity of solid electrolytes 2. high impedance at the solid-solid interface. Production issues: 1. ultra thin coatings 2. precise film formation 3. high-temperature processing without separators The above alone would take...

    Why Donut labs solid state battery could be real

    Chinese automaker Chery has already run a prototype. It plans Technology Validation in 2026, then mass production in 2027. Historically, solid-state battery timeline just keeps pushing back so I am conditioned to be cautious...
