    LCHCS stuck at 12A

    Based on how well Lucid implements SW updates on the Air, I think I'm better leaving my HC off the network.

    Video feed rear view mirror wanted…

    ^^^OP is talking about a rear view mirror, the kind you use at speed, not a back up or parking camera. Many cars offer an optional rear view mirror that is camera based and what you look at is a small oled screen rather than an actual mirror. From the outside and inside it looks exactly like a...

    Lease return excess wear & tear

    Could just be an over zealous inspector (may be new to the task?) and this will get sorted. But man alive this sort of "fine" at lease end would turn A LOT of people off of considering a Lucid product. This is like a cop giving you a ticket for 1mph over; technically a fine but its doing way...

    Lease return excess wear & tear

    Wow, that seems really petty. I too have no idea what is wrong with the visor. Hopefully this is just an isolated return story, but there should be plenty of data points coming on line soon (bubble of early lease returns). We returned our Model 3 (without getting a new one) with at least...

    Floormat Replacement Issues

    What rebate details did you read about when ordering the mats? Did you research the recall or read the letter that was recently mailed out? There is definitely a recall, but the remedy is TBD. Also, the website clearly states the current mats that are for sale are only compatible with cars...

    Software issues

    Agree with Deane, fob is the way to go for reliable opening.

    Floor mat choices for Santa Cruze

    Santa Cruz interior is not for the faint of heart. I have OEM winter mats, Krud Kutter is my go to for cleaning the mats; spray, soak, hose off, air dray, really easy. Scotch Guard for the carpet mats, spray and wipe clean up.

    Interior swapping or dying

    Two tone is different and not everyone's taste, but I appreciate that it's not a "safe" sea of black. It's time to make interiors spicy again!

    What’s this thing on top of the Air?

    Did you wave to each other? I did that the other day when passing an Air, lol. It could just be a start up or some sort of contractor doing some mapping, self-driving, or similar testing.

    Lease Gravity

    Spicy indeed! Man alive that is a uuuge lease payment. Seems like Lucid use the residual value to manipulate the payments. It would appear patience would pay huge dividends, assuming the residuals migrate to the high end like the current Air leases.

    Lucid Home Connected Home Charging Station Total loss

    Not a forensic investigator, but looks to me like the installer error. The heat source was right at the terminals and they admitted to not using the proper lugs. Shout out to this forum for creating a specialty knowledge base to make sure the charger is installed properly. Hopefully they...

    How Did You First Become Aware of Lucid?

    I think what brought it into focus for me was the Jonny Lieberman/Motor Trend stories in 2021. I had heard about it prior, but wasn't paying attention really.

    Recall for Floormats…Unintended Acceleration

    Copied from the release: "Lucid will reimburse owners for the original cost of the floor mats." Not sure if they will make a revised version that we have to buy, or what exactly the remedy will be. I tried industrial velcro, stuck great on the floor side, but not the mat side. I've been...

    Balder than Telly Savalis after 11k miles?!?!

    That is wild. Doesn't strike me as an alignment issue as the wear is uniform across the entire tread. I think the drop in range/efficiency is a clue something else is going on.

    After over a year of ownership, I still don't understand the entry/approach software of this car

    I'm sure they are, and I'm sure they know what a proper fix would look like financially (recall or similar hardware update) and have decided to roll the dice like most OEM's do and fix it on future product and abandon the early adopters/early majority. I'm here for to Lucid to succeed so if I...

    After over a year of ownership, I still don't understand the entry/approach software of this car

    The OP describes our (frustrating) experience with opening and interacting with our Air perfectly. I'm trying to be charitable because I knew what I signed up for, but maybe some resources from the department of bass futzing and curb rash preventing can go towards correcting the fundamental...

    mi/$ not that great in CA for EVs?

    Everyone cheers when PG&E is fined for various environmental mistakes but just like politicians promising higher taxes on those "evil" corporations, it's everyday consumers carry the burden of their increased costs of doing business.

    Consumer Reports Reliabilty Rankings

    There is so much about CR that is just too polarizing to get into a online debate about it, and for what? From my experience with CR, the score of 7 is yet another data point proving that CR offers me absolutely nothing of value, but I'm also aware that I'm not a typical consumer.

    Key Fob Battery Low - I Don't use it

    I also started storing my the fobs in a faraday pouch as an experiment to preserve the battery The batteries went flat in a matter of months before that, so far so good in the pouch. I'm an exclusive phone key user and carry the card key for back up access.

    World’s Fastest “supercar with a backseat” ever tested on C&D Lighting Lap

    My weekend "fun" car is a CT5-V Blackwing. The Air is a great car and puts up impressive numbers, but I've never used performance metrics as a measure of driving satisfaction. The Blackwing is a full sensory experience that few other cars can achieve.
