    RIP Mike Valentine

    Definitely owe Mike for countless avoided tickets and trips to the clink. I had my 1st real radar detector from Mike, the legendary Escort, sometime in the late 80's, then a Passport, various Valentine Ones from the early 90's until only a few years ago, then finally a Valentine V1 Gen 2. In...

    New Midsize Pic and Update

    A good friend of mine spends a fair amount of time in China involved in various manufacturing enterprises. He’s a real car guy that I trust his opinion. He feels that the Chinese are going to be the dominate force in all things EV. He sights massive government support, ability to improve &...

    Gravity Charging

    Scheduled charging may be resolved on the Gravity but my Air has been hit or miss. It was often enough that I turned it off. Recently tried again and still not 100% with a couple skipped scheduled events and charging immediately upon connection over 30 days. I’m using the Lucid Connected Home...

    What's the most PSI you've ever put into a road car tire?

    Wow that has to be a record! I’m surprised it didn’t go boom. Test drove a used M3 years ago at a BMW dealer. The ride was brutal. I told the salesman that there was something wrong. He assured me that it was fully inspected and certified and that I wasn’t used to a performance car. So I asked...

    Lucid Home Charger

    Scheduling via the car worked fairly well. However a month or so back it became hit or miss. I had a couple days in a row where I woke up to no charge. Fortunately I checked early enough that I could manually get some juice before my commute. Assume an update broke this. Maybe it’s fixed. I’ll...

    Repeat phone problems where the other party can't hear me

    For reasons beyond my comprehension the use of a phone in all Lucid Airs-mine, my colleagues and various loaners- is useless. I’ve given up long ago and leave a dedicated Poly Bluetooth headset in the car. How it can be significantly worse than my 2001 E39 M5 is a mystery.

    Lease return excess wear & tear

    Has anyone here returned a leased car that hasn’t received a bill for excessive wear? I wonder if this an area Steve could provide some help? https://lehtoslaw.com/steve-lehto/

    Lucid delivered my car damaged

    Sorry to hear about your experience. Empty promises and 8 days with no path to a resolution for an issue of this magnitude on a new luxury car would definitely have me contacting my lawyer. Today the sad truth is the squeaky wheel gets the grease while the patient & understanding gets screwed.

    Still no factory option to extend the warranty?

    Good thing I ceramic coated the windshield!

    During an extended torrential downpour the driver side wiper cap came off allowing the blade to shift. The car was delivered to me from Lucid like this and has happened multiple times. Service tells me this is normal. After the 2nd time I ceramic coated the windshield. Thank god or I would have...

    Lease return difficulties

    I tried pretty hard to get this removed but was unable to. Unlike conventional dealers it appears there’s no flexibility with Lucid.

    Lease return excess wear & tear

    Trouble is how will you know? It appears that a separate evaluation is being done after you’ve already returned the car. This makes the whole situation feel very sleazy & unethical.

    Lease return excess wear & tear

    I’ve leased many cars from all the usual suspects-BMW, Mercedes, Porsche and Cadillac…-and not once have I ever been charged for anything upon return. Clearly Lucid is trying to claw back some $ anyway they can. What a terrible decision. My plan was to lease another. However if this is the game...

    CARPLAY

    I’m having the same experience but have gone wired as I just don’t want to spend anymore time on this. As an aside I tried two other family members iPhones and had the same experience. It’s definitely a Lucid issue.

    Tidal still only Atmos Surround?

    Everyone says USB but I’ve tried multiple times with m4a files that I know 100% are Atmos encoded and they don’t show up in the library. What could I be doing wrong?

    I’ve followed all the best practices with no luck. Not sure where to go from here other than stay tethered, which isn’t that big of a deal.

    CARPLAY

    I’ve been having similar issue since the most recent update. I believe it’s a Lucid issue as I have no connectivity issues in my 4 other vehicles. Sometimes it connects instantly while other times it’s a couple minutes or in some cases I need to go into the connectivity settings and manual...

    Surreal sound pro recommendations needed

    If you want some great sounding music subscribe to Qobuz Sublime and buy your favorite music in hi-res. Then load it to a USB drive and enjoy the best fidelity I’ve experienced in the Lucid.
