    Scheduled Maintenance

    I was expecting service to take one day. It wasn't a big deal since I had a loaner GT that was identical to mine other than the color, it was just unexpected for it to take that long. My schedule can be complicated, and I was concerned about picking up my car promptly mainly because I figured...

    Scheduled Maintenance

    I just had my 2-year service. I had requested a loaner because the service center is an hour from home and I didn't want to sit around for the expected 3-4 hours. Good thing, as they noticed that the Lucid logo wasn't lighting on the front, and spent 3.5 days rebuilding the front end to...

    RESOLVED Door won't open

    I recently had this problem as well. The driver's door handle would not present, and you could hear the solenoid going "thwap, thwap, thwap" as it tried. Clearly a mechanical problem that persisted. Due to my schedule, I lived with this for a week before I could take it for a service...

    Wiper controls

    Here's an explanation of how auto-wipers work: I have a theory on why Lucid's auto-wipers don't seem to run often enough. That incredibly low drag coefficient that the Air achieves means that the air is flowing over the windshield differently than many other cars. If the sideways air...

    Watch out when sending a destination from Google Maps on your phone to your car

    I've had that sort of thing happen before. If the location that Google sent is something that HERE maps doesn't think is valid, it will take you somewhere else. If it doesn't like the number, you get sent to the middle of the length of the street. If the street isn't recognized, you get sent...

    Passive locking- Help with testing requested

    I experienced a different but similar problem this weekend. I was helping a friend with his car while my Lucid was parked nearby. My car kept unlocking and relocking as I moved around nearby, which is normal and expected behavior. But as it was annoying us, I went into settings and disabled...

    Lucid Gravity Release candidate

    Just to offer a different viewpoint: I live in Boston, and we have taken the Lucid on many road trips without problem or headaches. The EA stations we visit typically have 3 of 4 positions working, but the working ones almost always just work with the handshake happening automatically. Our...

    Battery replacement question

    I was going to respond to some of the details, but this isn't a Tesla forum and they don't really matter. The point is, from an engineering standpoint these are repairable, but by policy they are not. That probably won't change until the press quits sensationalizing every EV fire, even though...

    Red Line in backup camera view

    There are two different views that can be shown in parking assist. A simpler one that shows immediately, and the more complete one (which includes that guide line) only after all of the systems in the car have fully booted. If you are slower to start moving, it will be there. If this was your...

    Battery replacement question

    I have seen a YouTuber talk about third party Tesla repair. Someone brought in one that Tesla insisted needed a new $22,000 battery pack. This third-party garage was able to identify which of the dozen or so modules had the fault and pull just that one. They opened the sealed module (in a...

    Issue with home charging

    I had this sort of problem last year. Eventually tracked it down to poor wiring in the 14-50 outlet, which was getting very hot. The cable would interrupt charging. But if you later woke up the car when it had cooled, it would start again. I fixed it by having an electrician remove the...

    Locking/Unlocking and other stuff

    And this thread illustrates why I think there really is a software problem with lock/unlock. About half the comments say the fob works, but mobile key is unreliable. And the other half say the opposite. If it really was a hardware problem, wouldn't this be more consistent? For myself, I...

    Any Luck Geeting Production of SXM Working?

    I looked at that. I haven't tried it, but as far as I could tell, if you have a bluetooth audio source selected, you can no longer connect your phone at the same time (the system seems to support only one connection at a time). So no maps from the phone, no hands-free call answering. You...

    Any Luck Geeting Production of SXM Working?

    You remembered that statistic wrong. Maybe where 90% of the population lives is covered by cell service, but nowhere near that amount of actual land. I'm a wildlife photographer. Most of the places I go hiking have no cell service. I too am frustrated by the lack of satellite radio. I...

    Speculation Lucid UX 3.0

    That attitude is a lot of the problem with Lucid right now. Good software takes as long to write as the hardware takes to design and produce. And poor hardware decisions can make the software exponentially harder to get right. I'm a retired software engineer who has worked on some embedded...

    Options to set destination

    I was going to disagree with this, that it is not possible to share a lat/long location. But it occurred to me that I haven't tried it in months. And amazingly, this now works. It sure didn't last summer. I never saw it mentioned in any release notes, so assumed this was still broken...

    Options to set destination

    In my experience, a location found in Google Maps that doesn't have a street address fails to transfer to the Lucid. It seems to only recognize addresses, not GPS coords. Worse than that, I have long figured out approximate street addresses for trailheads by interpolating street numbers...

    Lucid light behavior change

    I would like to see the automatic display when the car wakes up to be short. But a button on the phone app to invoke a longer more elaborate light show, for when you are showing off the car.
