I won't worry about the points for this. I've kinda been saving my points for the charging station once they get V2H worked out.

Of course they just announced this. I'm booked to have my upgrade done on Monday...

While there may be shops that are charging more than they should, it's complicated. To be a Lucid-approved shop, they have to send technicians to Arizona for training and buy a lot of expensive equipment. How many repairs do they amortize that expense across? It would be cheaper if there were...

You're welcome to use my code, which hasn't been used yet this year: 4I1WO1JI

I have owned other cars that had a service mode through the infotainment system for this sort of thing, typically entered through a secret key sequence. While I had been hoping that Lucid had something like this and that the way to start it would get leaked, I looked over the shoulder of mobile...

I had a false door open alert last week, the night after I updated the car to 2.8.9. It hasn't happened again.

It's not that simple. The car doesn't just have one computer, it has dozens cooperating on a network. The update only reboots subsystems that get updated. Asking the car to reboot will reboot all of the ones that form the infotainment system, but not those involved in engine management...

While there are potential problems with lowering the ride height with a door open, there's also an obvious use case: a person with poor mobility trying to get in or out of the car, starts but then struggles. Lowering the car a little at this point could help. Like a public bus that lowers for...

What's a reasonable price depends on how far the garage is from your main breaker panel, and whether that panel has enough capacity to add another 50 amp (or 80 amp) circuit. When we had our garage wired, we had to upgrade the service to the house from 100amp to 200amp, then run buried conduit...

That depends on where you drive. I do hiking and nature photography, and even in California I am frequently in places with no cell service. While I am disappointed that Lucid does not have satellite radio, I am more upset that there is no auxiliary input to the sound system so that I can add...

That's because this upgrade is only the infotainment system, not the ECU (engine control unit) which is a separate computer and apparently more reliable.

By carefully listening to the sound at low speed and accelerating, you should be able to figure out if it's something about the wheel or tire (makes a noise once every wheel rotation), or just something on the car loose and rattling. As we have had many very hot days this summer, I have picked...

I've watched some third-party Tesla repairs where Tesla claims that an entire battery needs replacing at a cost of $24,000, but the third party garage can replace individual modules for only a couple hundred dollars. As the electric car industry matures, I suspect this will become common. But...

And I absolutely despise subscriptions for things like that. It drives me away from certain brands. It's part of the reason I drive a Lucid instead of a Tesla.

Tesla destination chargers (privately owned, AC power) and Tesla Superchargers (Tesla owned, high voltage DC power) are very different. It's up to the owner of a destination charger how it is configured, and I have used them (with appropriate charger) for 3 years now. What changed today is...

The camera is working as expected, but the digital alignment is off. Each camera is very wide angle, and when they perform a camera calibration and alignment they digitally set the zoom and cropping on each camera so that they look correct. I know this because a long time ago a software update...

I have a GT. One from the summer of '22 when they were still sorting out a lot of fit & finish issues, so having these come unglued wasn't surprising.

Lucid replaced mine for free when the adhesive let go and one became mangled while unloading the car.

I do want both nav and music visible. Sometimes I am using another source for nav, so that means ApplePay and music. Having turn-by-turn or now-playing show often helps with this. But I have found that when I am most likely to want to look at the info is while waiting at a traffic light, when...
