    Android Lucid App Finally Stays In 'Unrestricted' Background Mode - Didn't Help!

    It always used to quickly shift to 'Optimized'. Sorry to say... If anything, my auto-open is considerably worse. May be the app, but may also be 2.10.0.

    Phoenix Area

    I know of a great coffee shop near Seattle if you want to arrange a get-together AND get away from the heat! :-)

    Anyone else encounter a strange tear in seat upholstery?

    After 2.5 years, my PureLux is starting to tear in what I view as the oddest of places... Right about where my right shoulder blade rests while driving the car. It's in the perforated material right above where the seat back transitions from solid to perforated. It's not an area where I apply...

    Crazy Good Miles/kWh...

    I know that Lucid performs occasional software tweaks to improve performance, but I have to say that the recent performance on my 2023 Pure AWD (19" wheels and no aero covers) has been very impressive. For example, I just completed a round trip run between metro Seattle and metro Vancouver, and...

    Air software version 2.10.0

    Just wondering... Has 2.10.0 been widely distributed? Does it apply to all Airs? (Given the seatbelt notification, I'm guessing it does.) As it's been less than a week, I'm neither surprised nor concerned, but there seems to be very little chatter about it...

    Spare tire

    One other thing to consider... My spare tire came with a two metric 'tonne' (not ton) jack. EU tonnes are 2,205 pounds, so a 2 'tonne' jack should be able to handle 4,409 pounds. Right or wrong, I figured that this was close enough to use, given the 4,952 pound curb weight of my 2023 Air Pure...

    Spare tire

    Here's the jack wrench that I bought... https://www.homedepot.com/p/TEKTON-17-mm-Long-Fixed-Flex-Head-12-Point-Ratcheting-Box-End-Wrench-WRB35417/334137786?MERCH=REC-_-reorder-_-n/a-_-0-_-n/a-_-n/a-_-n/a-_-n/a-_-n/a I bought my spare tire and accessories used, and the person I bought the set...

    Who is your favorite admin/moderator?

    I know I'm heading off on a tangent, but maybe Walt Kelly's Pogo had the most appropriate Lucid line. 'We have met the enemy, and he is us.'

    Who is your favorite admin/moderator?

    Probably a more appropriate sign off, but that was Edward R. Murrow. Cronkite said "And that's the way it is."

    Who is your favorite admin/moderator?

    Walter Cronkite. He never gave me one bit of bad advice on my EV.

    Air software version 2.10.0

    I don't care who does it, and it should certainly not be just to the forum. It should be handled via an email release to the installed base, or the subset of the installed base that the update applies to. I published a detailed process on how this should work many months ago, but all the old...

    Air software version 2.10.0

    BTW... It was so nice when @marqie announced the release of the Gravity UX 3.6 OTA update. Sorry to not see one here. I had hoped that announcement was a sign of an emerging focus on better communications, and not a one-off thing. Heavy sigh.

    Air software version 2.10.0

    Getting ready to hit the road for a time-critical trip next week, and I think I'll hold off on this one until we return. Otherwise, I could picture getting a bunch of Drive System Fault notifications en route, and stressing over what is real, and what is just an update-related bug.

    Air software version 2.10.0

    I wonder if it's in addition to the old visual, but I agree that it's pretty utt-buggley. Kind of like an electronic Post-It note slapped on.

    Marc Winteroff out

    Here's the more detailed text of today's press release... IMO, any discussion of this announcement warrants it's own thread. NEWARK, Calif., July 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Lucid Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: LCID), maker of the world's most advanced software-defined vehicles and technologies, today...

    Can't get past "market place rules" banner in the Market Place forum

    It's an odd setup... Get to the Marketplace Rules. Place your finger below the rules at the top of the dark area between Forums and What's New, and then scroll your finger up.

    Anyone up for auto insurance rate comparisons?

    Sorry, but I'm being dense. Say a family of three shares two cars... Wouldn't that have each of their cars on the road a lot more often than a family of two with three cars?

    Anyone up for auto insurance rate comparisons?

    Really? I thought it would be less expensive the other way around, with more cars than drivers.

    Anyone up for auto insurance rate comparisons?

    It's Acuity. Well established and highly rated, but they do not operate in every state. Unlike a lot of companies, their umbrella insurance is fairly reasonable. (All of the $500k auto coverage is part of their umbrella's requirement.) Annual coverage for our 2002 Lexus SC430 two seat...

    Anyone up for auto insurance rate comparisons?

    Here's our 2023 Pure AWD's latest 12 month insurance renewal with Acuity. My wife and I are both 78 this year, and we both have great driving and accident records, but we do live in college town Tempe, which has higher insurance rates than most of metro Phoenix. This includes multiple coverage...
