Most cars, EVs and ICE cars, nowadays have sentry detection of people approaching, is that correct? In order words, you don't have to touch anything on the car to sense the "key" (be it FOB, phone, etc.). This Sentry function is not the intrusion sentry we talked about vis-a-vis, turn on the...

Yes, I don't dismiss the possibility that BOTH the BT and the car computer can be problems. That said, my experience has been: > I have two EVs, my 2022 AGT and my 2023 Rivian R1S parked next to each other in my garage. > the Rivian has NEVER failed to unlock by my phone when I approach > my...

When one is debugging an unknown problem, one attempts to either prove or disprove a hypothesis. As such, there are indeed "20 questions" that are posed in order to get to the correct diagnosis. As @dbs3233 stated, in order to make logical sense, pushing on the handle to affect an unlocking...

I am amazed that you and I actually agreed on something about the Lucid! ;) Now, let's go down another level: > when you push on the outside door lever, does it send an ELECTRICAL SIGNAL that ACTUATES the MECHANICAL locking system? OR > when you push on the outside door lever, does it send AN...

Let me ask a few questions out of ignorance: > it appears that pushing on the OUTSIDE (front) door handle is a legitimate way to unlock the doors, correct? > I am not familiar with how the mechanical door handle works on the Gravity. > In the Air, the INSIDE door handle has a "sliding knob"...

I agree with your train of thought., and I've made similar postulation before (regarding my 2022 AGT experience). I don't think it is the FOB (other than the FOB's poor battery life). I don't think it is the phone either. It is also not the WiFi. And it is not the cell signals. To me...

Until these past few months, I have had great experiences with Lucid's Service Center/Mobile techs in both Scottsdale and San Mateo. But things have changed! I've had several talks with the Scottsdale SC staff about my concerns vis-a-vis, long lead time to schedule services, getting an...

Yeah, I get this message ("Passive unlock is temporary disabled" ) regularly. If I am in-and-out of my garage with my phone frequently, it can trigger this kind of response and I understand why. Somethings, it will trigger on itself without any recent stimuli. Not sure why.

What exactly is the half shaft bolt recall?

Exactly! Hence, just add a 2k/4k dashcam with its own microSD card.

Can someone enlighten us on the following: > there are multiple aftermarket dashcams that have sentry mode, correct? These cameras are typically hooked up to the USB ports in the car. They have relatively low power dissipation, definitely not kWh/day. Am I correct? Hence, the predicament is...

Never had the pleasure of owning a Tesla. Even though I equipped my garage for simultaneously charging tow EVs at the same time since 2008, I refused to buy a Tesla. Don't get me wrong, I think Tesla was a pioneer. But I dislike many aspects of Tesla, and I chose not to own one. Yes, if you...

I agree with you. China is taking the leadership position in EV innovation and manufacturing. Battery swapping is already there. Part of that is also driven by the fact that most Chinese residences don't have their own in-home charging capability. It is sad to see that our current...

I'd suspect replacing a home storage battery is much simpler process and lower cost when compared to replacing a car battery. That was the basis of my question. That said, at the rate EVs are depreciating, after 4-5 years of ownership, the whole EV, including the battery, might not be worth...

I agree with everything you said RE: NEM 3. That said, has anyone sat down and do the economics of V2H, taking into account the additional charge/discharge cycles and short lifetime of the car batteries. I haven't done the math, but I am skeptical whether V2H is a good economical solution vs...

Forgive my ignorance, > can a company like Discount Tires do wheel alignment on Lucid cars without affecting the warranty?

I love Discount Tire! They are good, fast, often no appointments required. Service with a smile! A couple of months ago, I took my AGT to Costco in Paradise Valley because I found a screw in the tire that caused the leak. Costco did not want to work on my tire and the leak because "they...

How much solar (Watts of panels) do you have and where is your home? How much battery backup do you have?

Fair point....therefore, are you saying, there is no simple way to do this (parked surveillance system) without rearchitecting the power supply topology of the existing cars?
