    Service staff expansions ARE happening

    Just had my first repair experience, at Natick (one of 2 Boston-area centers; only ones north of NYC), and came away with some concrete info on recent efforts to address service backlogs. Natick has always been more functional than most, but I imagine the other service centers are also getting...

    HVAC - no cooling when car is not moving

    I have an appointment in Natick a week from today for them to look at this. But I thought it was worth bouncing it out to the forum in case there’s some easy fix that I’m overlooking. My car is a 2025 air touring, with the heat pump. This summer, I noticed that the car was not pre-cooling, nor...

    Natick service: riding the wave with grace

    After 18 months, I finally have a service issue that needs to be addressed. Like most other service centers, Natick was very backed up for appointments, six weeks out. Unlike some other centers, I received a call from them a week after scheduling (I was planning to call that day if I hadn’t...

    1 of 4 HVAC vents not blowing air

    It looks like I may have my first actual service issue, 17 months into ownership of my ‘25 Air Touring. One of the four dash-level air vents seems to have lost its fan motor. I just noticed it a couple days ago; though it seemed unlikely to help I wanted to wait until I made sure the car had a...

    Tip: use Claude when you want to find forum posts on a particular topic

    I just tried searching the Forum for a rather obscure topic (door being locked for a passenger when I back out of the garage). I knew I had seen something about this on the Forum a year or so ago, but it didn’t surface when I searched. When I described the situation to Claude, it clarified the...

    Uber-Rivian robotaxi announcement

    What do we make of this, vis a vis Lucid’s and Uber’s Gravity and midsize robotaxi plans, and Lucid’s Lunar 2-seater play? Talk of 25 cities, 40,000 R2s. Larger numbers than Uber has said out loud for Lucids…...

    Rivian CEO w/Kara Swisher

    Interested in comments/feedback on this hour with Rivian’s CEO. Seems like a solid strategy, albeit resting heavily on the success of their midsize, as with Lucid. Tempted to take a flier on a bit of Rivian stock, in the same spirit with which I’ve loaded up on cheap Lucid. Though I’m quite...

    Where to send reports to Lucid about Drive Assist glitches?

    I’ve seen several mentions on the forum of sending a report to Lucid with the time when Drive Assist did something funky. The implication was that they can look at my car’s data and learn from that. As I understand it, there’s a limited time window after the event before the car data is...

    Thermal management system temp-thresholds when plugged in

    We are told that one of the main reasons to keep the car plugged in at home is to assure that the battery thermal management system can activate when ambient temps are too high or low, to keep the batteries healthy for the long term. My question is: at what temperatures does the battery cooling...

    Rivian’s new energy-usage info

    Cool, something new to wish Lucid would add for us! Sure does sound nice, and should be doable. (Ah, great….now I’m fantasizing that it’s already been baked into upcoming new UX…!) “The new update allows Rivian owners to see “where their energy is going” in real time, says Wassym Bensaid...

    Twraps headlight filters

    I'm not sure I'd go this way, but just wondering whether anyone has tried TWRAP's headlight tinting film? Their 3 "smoke" options transmit 30%, 50%, and 70% of the visible light. https://twraps.com/products/headlights-tail-lights-tint-ppf-for-lucid-air Given how bright the lights are, I can...

    Any way to “lock” the trip reset buttons?

    The other day, I somehow accidentally reset my Trip A counter on the pilot panel; I must’ve brushed that spot, perhaps as the display was retracting or coming out again. While losing my Trip A mileage is not the end of the world, it would feel like a bit of a disaster if the same thing happened...

    New owner gratitude to the Forum community

    I just wanted to give a shout out to everyone here on the forum. Spending a few months here, prior to my final purchase decision and awaiting delivery, were invaluable in helping me establish realistic expectations about the car. This includes tempering that pesky idealized sense of range and...

    What if? -- maintaining Airs if Lucid US disappears

    While I don’t EXPECT this to happen, it does seem like there’s probably a 10-25% chance that Lucid doesn’t make it through the money-bleeding part of the ramping up cycle, with the company either going belly up, or--perhaps more likely--the Saudis taking it private and deciding the US market...

    Early production 2025 Air Pures without DDPremium standard -- and some with no heat pumps?

    In prepping for my 2nd visit to my regional Studio, I called the national Lucid sales line to run through a few preliminary questions. While browsing and mocking up some 2025 Air Pure packages and lease duration options, I'd noticed that sometimes (fairly often) the "Available Cars" showing up...
