I own 2 Chevy Bolt EVs, 2018 and 2023 models. Both have been rock solid since day one, never needed an OTA update. UI on these is so intuitive, simple, effective, includes CarPlay, sometimes I forget it's all software, it just feels 100% solid and never fails to work. I wish I could transplant...

I'm starting to think that engineers on the forum are full of crap, pardon my French. Just saw a review of Polestar 3 with bunch of the same issues, presumably also based on AA. Even though I have no hands on experience with AA, but being a lifelong hardware/software engineer myself, what I...

I just realized how silly this thread might seem to an Air owner, and how all the complains in Gravity section of the forum might look to an existing Air owner. I joined this forum a month ago as a new Lucid customer with Gravity, never had any previous experience with Lucid, other than just...

I had the same issue ever since delivery, my Drive Assist never worked, I waited for a month to see if software update would trigger it to work, but no, so I brought the car to service for this issue and recent drive system errors. My SC advisor said it might be due to hands sensor fault in the...

Question for Air drivers - when you play a music playlist thru Tidal, then park the car, then come back later and expect to resume your music, but Play/Pause/Forward/Back buttons are gone and you have to re-select the playlist to start over, does this happen to you also? It's happening every...

3 channel equalizer is indeed "Surreal" :p

It’s from 3.3.8 which was pulled quickly, so only those who 100% trust software updates can have better audio 😛 I’m kidding…

Variance in Gravity efficiency where wheel/tire size package is the the only difference is a fascinating subject for me. I'm watching it closely, collecting data points, but haven't drawn my own conclusion yet. For years I keep hearing how much wheel size affects EV range, both anecdotal and...

I don't want to revive Fisker topic, which I'm sure was beaten to death here in the past, but as a life long technologist closely watching and participating in EV industry since 2007, it was clearly obvious to me that Fisker was doomed from the start as an engineering project and a business for...

I know many here own(ed) Air(s) before Gravity, so please take it easy on me as Gravity is my first Lucid and I haven't driven a sedan in 15 years, I prefer crossovers and SUVs where my butt doesn't have to drop down when getting in the car. I had my Gravity for a month, with all common...

As a general rule I stopped buying smart electrical equipment unless it has HA integration. It's great that Lucid exposes so much, but I want data from all sides and angles fed into my HA server.

Nice, 3.5 hours averaging around 15kW and HA integration, which charger is that? I have Grizzl-E 80A model with OCPP support for HA integration, but garage wiring is limited to 50A breaker, so I run it at 40A to be safe. Weirdly enough, my charger does not report real time power, only...

Why worry about online hack when garage door can be opened with Sawzall in 2 minutes? But for overall smart home convenience my vote is also for Ratgdo with Home Assistant, if you are in IT and want a time sucking hobby 😉

Regardless of charging method the max cell temp should be not higher than 113F, although some exceptions are possible to allow even higher temp under certain controlled conditions. Rate of cell temp rise is a function of charge rate, it should be slow on a large, heavy battery with lots of...

During charge it's perfectly acceptable to reach and stay at up to 113F without abnormal degradation, so I'm surprised to see reduced rate when it's only at 104F. In fact, I made an assumption that rate reduction is even related to cell temp rise, correlation doesn't mean causation, but I don't...

Thank you for the link, I did not come across that thread, it might be something similar to what I'm seeing. I need to collect a lot more data before coming to any conclusions, it was just one charge cycle that I accidentally observed, from now on I will pay more attention. That is after I get...

Do you think that 10kW Level 2 charge rate should be continuously sustainable by any reasonable design for EV of this size? Note that 20kW Level 2 rate is supposedly supported, although I don't have a 100A circuit to test it in my house. When you design it for 20kW, should it be able to do 10kW...

This morning Rocklin Studio had at least 20+ fresh Gravities awaiting delivery to customers. I only took a pic of one row, there was another row outside the camera frame.

In my experience C/12 charge rate is quite slow and 10kW is not a lot power for such massive battery. Most heat loss is in the charger electronics doing AC/DC conversion, but it should not heat up cells, which are thermally insulated from power electronics and have active cooling available...

It was definitely running the cooling system, but not as crazy as it does on a fast DC charger. Reduced charge rate was confirmed at the charger, so it's not siphoning to other systems, it is throttling battery charge rate. My garage ambient is not hot in this season, much cooler than it would...
