    How Much Range Are You Actually Getting?

    Now that I have had my AGT for 4 months, I have an observation about mileage. It started good if you drove really consevatively (the first weekend I drove the Lucid alongside our 45 year old vintage car with no acceleration, and got 4.2 mi/kwh). Driving more aggressively, the mileage was OK...

    SOLD: White Air GT, Mojave int, 21" wheels, 2k miles +/-, PPF, tint

    I was just in Fiji and didn't see a single EV. The Toyota I rented sure didn't drive like my AGT.

    Slippery Roads

    I just did my first drive on a seriously slippery road, and the car did fine on 19" wheels with the factory all-season tires. We visited friends in rural Vermont where the last few miles to their house is unpaved roads up into the hills. We had been watching the weather, afraid that there...

    Door trim figment issue

    I noticed mine looking like that at one point, and discovered that if I pushed on it carefully, I could get the trim piece to slide back in forth through the channel that held it. I slid it back 1/4 inch to be properly aligned, and it has stayed there since then.

    Refund on order?

    While I dislike the incessant arguing about this, I do agree that the wording with "compatible" is highly misleading. I read it to mean that they have carplay, and was surprised to later learn that they do not yet. As an example, Tesla is carplay compatible. It has the capability to...

    Highway Assist

    You could set the adaptive cruise control for a ridiculously low speed, then use the go-pedal to "temporarily" override it to something faster for the entire drive. That would achieve lane centering with you controlling the speed.

    Lucid Natick

    There were two chargers outside, both of which had customer cars hooked up when we were there. I think those were cars that the shop had just worked on, but I'm not sure. There weren't any owners around them.

    Lucid Natick

    I stopped by the Natick Studio today while we were at the mall. Talked to the manager who showed us around. They are now a licensed auto dealer, so can discuss pricing and take payments there, and handle Massachusetts RMV paperwork in a day. They have a dedicated room for deliveries, much...

    SiriusXM favorites, how to keep them stable

    This has happened to me once, and was only fixed with the "Bobby Reset". While in park, switch to the guest profile, then back to your profile. That resets many things in the computer.

    Can't Charge Off-Peak

    If you have something you think Lucid should know, tell them directly. Don't just post it here and hope they see it. After I had my car a month and completed my cross-country trip, I sent a message to customer care with about 20 items on my wish list for things I wanted the car to be able to...

    Mobile key optimal function advice?

    I tried using just my phone instead of the fob, and found one use case did work perfectly, and another use case was unacceptable. Walking up to a door, it always presented the handles by the time I got there. But if approached from the back of the car and tried to open the trunk, it often would...

    Longest Point-to-Point Road Trip?

    If your goal is just to cover miles, stick to the major interstate highways and you should do fine. We purposely left the interstate a number of times, for scenery or a particular attraction (House on the Rock in Wisconson was amazing!). Some of those side trips challenged our ability to find...

    Longest Point-to-Point Road Trip?

    6,500 miles, Boston to Yellowstone and back, over 3 weeks. We averaged 300 mi/day, with both sightseeing and charging stops. No problems with the car. Only one failed EA charging attempt out of about 25 charges. We used A Better Route Planner, set to "more frequent shorter charging stops"...

    Lucid Launch Event

    I suspect the vague numbers come from hand-built prototypes, and they don't want to put down a hard number until a production car has been formally tested.

    Coefficient of Drag for Touring & Pure..... What does this mean?

    The only exterior difference I'm aware of is the metal roof. Maybe that lowers the coefficent of drag? It's one piece rather than having a glass seam and then a metal bow tie like the glass has.

    Range question

    The problem was crossing South Dakota and Wyoming.

    Range question

    On our recent trip from Boston to Yellowstone and back, we saw few chargers west of Chicago. A Better Route Planner said it wasn't possible to get where we were going, and we only did it by overnighting at one point at a motel near a slow charger that we left the car on overnight. Without as...

    Off-Topic Volvo EX90 EV - SUV w/Lidar - teaser video

    Many companies want to keep confidential their reservation or production numbers, so do not assign numbers sequentially. Just like the last 5 digits of a Lucid VIN do not mean anything, it's likely that the Volvo reservation numbers don't either. Back in my days of doing web programming for...
