    Electrek: "Lucid stands out as one of the very few winners" among general decline of EV registrations.

    The Electrek EV blog published an article about declining California EV registrations here. Among a general decline of 24%, it noted that Lucid stood out as a positive counterexample: "Among all this destruction, Lucid stands out as one of the very few winners." See the full article.

    Three-year review. 2023 Lucid Air Touring

    TLDR Summary For frequent readers of the forum, I am part of the group that has had very few issues with my 2023 AT. The main things it needed after the original due bill were seat rehoming, replace front door sealing, and replace frunk sealing. That said, the car has been reliable and an...

    For Sale V1 Mobile Charger for sale or swap for v2

    I have a RangeXChange adaptor, so I need to sell or swap my V1 mobile charger that came with my 2023 Air Touring. It works with all model years. It is in like-new condition, because I have never needed to use it. It has the adaptors for 110 and 240 volt outlets and mounting plates. I’m asking...

    Tesla discontinues lane centering from Autopilot: TechCrunch

    TechCrunch and others posted articles on Tesla's discontinuance of lane centering from basic, included Autopilot. As someone who has advocated adding lane centering to DreamDrive or DreamDrive premium, this lessens the pressure on Lucid to do so. However, it would still be smart for Lucid to add...

    Insanely good efficiency. Why?

    Ok, so it was under ideal conditions. No wind, 60-70 degree weather. Good traffic patterns, but no long stretches at 25-55. OC to LAX roundtrip, so 90% freeway traffic. 2023 Air Touring, 19 wheels. 69mph setting in ADAS. Light use of AC, but two suitcases and two passengers on the way back...

    For Trade Would like to swap 40amp mobile charger v1 for a 40amp mobile charger v2 (compatible with RangeXChange)

    Hi. I already picked up the RangeXChange charging adapter, but have yet to pick up a compatible v2 mobile charger (V2V capable). If someone has it, but has no use for V2V, I propose to swap charging adapters and pay $150 to you as compensation for the added value. I'm in SoCal (OC) and ideally...

    Ad-supported music service?

    My wife and I have very different playlists in Spotify. In usually use “Hey Lucid” to start a playlist of something she would prefer, because “happy wife, happy…” (you get the idea). So, today, Lucid will either play a single song and repeat it when the forward button is pressed or. In the case...

    DDPremium->DDPro Upgrade Path

    With DD Premium increasingly becoming the baseline for Lucid cars and SUVs, perhaps it's time to offer a reasonable (eg. not the current $12,000!) upgrade path for those who paid $2500 for DDPremium, but have the hardware for DDPro. Since that group consists primarily of early adopters...

    Driving during the July 8th server update

    I had to run to LAX last night. I started out at 9:20pm and arrived around 10:30pm. I had read the post about the update, received the email, so I felt comfortable driving during that time. I had sent the nav from my phone to the car before starting out and the nav worked flawlessly. So the only...

    Electrek likes the Lucid Air as its "Model S Alternative"

    Electrek's choice for top Model S alternative...drumroll... Well, it's listed as an "opinion article," but it summarizes the advantage well: "Developed by OG Tesla Model S engineers with tunes from Annie Get Your Gun playing continuously in their heads, the Lucid Air promises to be the car...

    Adaptive Lane Biasing in Gravity DD Premium

    On the Lucid Gravity Options page, it adds "adaptive lane biasing" to DD Premium. Maybe someone can correct me quickly, but doesn't lane biasing refer to keeping the car momentarily adjusted within the lane to comfortably pass bicyclists, trucks, etc.? Doesn't this also imply that it must...

    Kia EV9 and Wallbox Quasar 2

    Doesn't it seem like Kia has smartly partnered with a third-party to handle all the details of V2G and V2H? The announced price is pretty reasonable, although it doesn't include installation.

    Really, really favorable review of Hey, Lucid...

    Today, Green Car Reports posted perhaps the most favorable possible review of SoundHound's Hey Lucid and the transition from Amazon Alexa. Clearly, they didn't read this forum before printing the article. The only interesting thing is it does give some background to Lucid Motors' thinking behind...

    10,000 mile review - the good and the not-so-good, but nothing ugly

    After ~20 months and 10,000 miles of driving an Air Touring, I can now make a reasonable balance sheet. I'm going to starts with picking nits. I'll avoid topics like "Hey Lucid," because there are really long discussions about this and only once did it try to navigate me to the south of...

    Tire valve stem stuck inside hubcap?

    After seeing a tire inflation alert on the dashboard, I dutifully began to inflate each tire to the recommended 49psi. However, the driver side front tire had its valve stem pushed back and lodged against the hubcap. While I might be able to thread a string around it to pull it back, I don't...

    So I sat in the back seat…

    So our Lucid AT is mostly driven during the week by my wife and, on the weekends, when we’re together, I play chauffeur. So I have all the usual impressions of the Lucid as a driving machine: comfortable, smooth (and not just the regen), and powerful. But yesterday, we went out to dinner and...

    Anyone else getting better than EPA for rated 100% (not actual!)

    After 2000 miles, my rated 100% range is always above the 425 for an AT with 19” wheels. In fact, regardless of whether I am at 90% charge or 30%, I will arrive at a non-official rated range of between 433 or 438 miles. Of course, when I multiply miles/kWh by battery size, I get a projected...

    Any cautions about driving for the first time immediately after delivery?

    I'm picking my car up around sundown and taking my wife to dinner - she doesn't want to drive it first. I've RTFFed this topic about most everything, except being cautious with it straight out of the dealership? Given 60% highway driving should I: Try nothing. Use the most minimal settings...

    Purchase agreement? Purchase portal?

    I was told by a Lucid delivery specialist (HQ, not local) that Lucid will open up a payment portal for my account. I have a delivery tentatively scheduled for Tuesday. But to date, I don't see a purchase agreement and even the other details (insurance, etc...) look like they haven't been filled...
