    Lucid Air 2.8.9

    Well... I'm now convinced that (despite what some people say) ultimate regen is reduced a bit even after soft engagement. I'm okay with this, since I think the old setting was probably too aggressive and was surging too much energy back in to the battery at speed. I'm certain that it was...

    Lucid Air 2.8.9

    Well, today was a good test of DD Pro enhancements that have evolved from "jerky" to velvet smooth lane-keeping and not trying to get all confused at off-ramps. Good on all counts. I used to grab the wheel and "hang on for dear life" as the car couldn't decide how to handle it. Today I felt...

    Update 2.8.7 Improves Lucid Air Dream Drive

    Have lots of highway driving ahead today, I'll report results after passing many more off-ramps. Part of the problem, (I believe) is that many painted lines have faded and are hard to detect by the cameras, especially here in Colorado where snow treatments erode the lines quickly. I'll see...

    Update 2.8.7 Improves Lucid Air Dream Drive

    While I have only passed a few examples as of today (2.8.9) I noticed that the car didn't seem to get confused when passing off-ramps with DD hands-off engaged. Usually I had to grab the wheel when passing off-ramps as the car would often lurch right and left as the off-ramp approached. Today...

    Lucid Air 2.8.9

    Slight modification to my previous "no changes noted" comment. After driving 50 miles today I have noticed a slight reduction in regen and slower activation of full regen with rapid pedal-off. I live in steep country and preferred the higher regen. I'd go weeks without touching the brake and...

    Lucid Air 2.8.9

    No issues with either recent version. Only thing I noticed is that when I descend from my 4,500ft mountain the miles per kwh sits at max of 6.21 for a while, but for the last 1,000 feet of elevation loss, the m per kwh screen shows 0.00. That's no big deal to me. But no difference detected...

    Lucid charged me $585 for “damages” 2 weeks after I returned my lease — DFPI complaint filed

    Don't hold your breath, unless the complaint forces them. I've had complaints in for things that were Lucid's fault... Lucid Corporate refuses to respond. All I get is "nice talk" from the "customer service" line who agrees with me, promises to escalate to management, who never responds.

    Lease return excess wear & tear

    Don't expect any satisfaction from Lucid Corporate. Since JULY I've spent a few thousand $$ on items that were Lucid's fault. I've called "Customer Service" about eight times where they promised to escalate to management. Complete silence was the result, NO response, totally ignored. For...

    Update 2.6.16

    I logged in to this topic just to bring up my experience and noticed your post. My AGT *appears* to be getting really high mpKWH since that update. No freeway driving yet, but running around town, up and down hills, 45-50ish mph I was usually getting in the high 3s to low 4s. I'm now...

    DreamDrive Megathread

    I'm hoping this is the right place to ask. I'm not having any DreamDrive problems mentioned here. Allthough I've not read every single post, a pretty thorough scan hasn't mentioned an issue I'm having. My highway assist is almost useless. The camera system consistently places vehicles more...

    Regenerative braking and range

    I can't imagine not having good regen capability on this car. When I leave my home in Coal Creek Canyon (9,030 ft) heading for Colorado Springs I'm almost to Castle Rock before the miles remaining on the car equal what they were when I left. I get a good 30+ miles of driving out of that 3,500...

    Regenerative braking and range

    I've made some informal measurements in regen range recovery. I live at 9,000 ft and frequently drive to Rocky Mountain Airport down in Broomfield, CO at 5,700ft. It's a 28 mile trip. When I arrive at the airport the car has 7 more miles on the clock than what I departed with. I also have...

    Frozen Teslas piling up at chargers....

    No, I would not have attempted to charge at those low temps, except maybe with the 120v cord with about 1kw or so. After a short pre-condition I did go down the hill which usually adds 9 to 10 miles to the "counter" in that 3-mile drive, so the car did take that kind of charge (about 3 miles...

    Frozen Teslas piling up at chargers....

    Well, I have just driven the car with a cold battery down the hill. It's a pretty steep descent and I just don't like the feeling of regen kicking out because charge current goes too high for it at that temperature. It only takes about 10 min of pre-condition to eliminate that problem and I'm...

    Frozen Teslas piling up at chargers....

    I have no idea how a Tesla would have done under those conditions. I habitually do a pre-condition on my battery on cold mornings so that my batteries are able to take the regen that is generated by the 1,500ft elevation loss I experience in the first three miles of my commute, so I'm sure my...

    Frozen Teslas piling up at chargers....

    We've all seen the images of dead Teslas being pushed and towed in to chargers in Chicago only for the owners to discovers the cars won't take a charge. The other day I woke up at my home in Colorado to find the outside temp at 27 below zero and a foot of new snow on my car, parked outside...

    First Road Trip Range Readings

    Something to keep in mind when you're thinking about range. In a recent update the car started taking in to account elevation changes when estimating range. I've done a few trips down a big elevation drop recently. The car rightly says I'll arrive with MORE miles than was on the car when it...

    FEATURE OTA Update 2.1.47

    This is not a Tesla or BMW. To me, canceling a turn signal by moving it in same direction eliminates fear of accidentally activating the signal in a wrong direction. First time I ever tried it I instinctively moved it in same direction (didn't work then, glad it does now). I think Lucid has...

    issues with buying process

    Procedures might vary from state to state... here in Colorado the D/A had no problem with not receiving a check before I laid eyes on the car.

    Delivery delayed...again ugh!!

    Well, you're doing better than I did. It appears Lucid has yet to get their delivery system dialed in. I ordered my AIr GT on June 16. At that time there were about 1,200 unsold vehicles in inventory (including mine which was built in late 22}. It took until August 16th for them to get the...
