    Temporary car...

    That’s a tricky position to be in, especially when the delivery window is uncertain. I’d be hesitant to commit to a 27-month lease on the Polestar 3 if the Gravity could become available much sooner. Have you considered a good used SUV as a temporary option? It might give you more flexibility...

    Garage Door Opener

    I’ve had similar experiences where customer service says a technician will call but nothing happens for several days. I’d call them again and ask them to escalate the request, especially since you’ve already waited nearly a week. Get a reference number and ask for a definite timeframe for the...

    Anyone else encounter a strange tear in seat upholstery?

    I’d probably avoid a universal seat cover unless you know it won’t interfere with the seat controls, airbags, or sensors. Since the seat is already starting to look bumpy after only a year, a fitted protector made specifically for the Lucid would make more sense. It might also be worth checking...

    Sideswiped my garage door frame this morning. Insurance vs. Out-of-pocket + DFW shop recs?

    I’d get a written estimate from a Lucid certified body shop first, then compare the total repair cost with your deductible and the potential insurance impact. With the aluminum structure and all the electronics and sensors, hidden damage can make a simple looking hit surprisingly expensive. If...

    Financing

    That’s a good heads up. I’d definitely wait until the delivery date is confirmed or the car is within a couple of weeks of delivery before applying for financing. There’s little benefit to starting the clock on a 30 day approval when the delivery timeline is uncertain, especially if another hard...

    Anyone up for auto insurance rate comparisons?

    Honestly, $2,112 a year doesn’t sound completely crazy for a Lucid Air in Tempe, especially with $500K liability and UM/UIM limits, but I’d still shop it around. The increase from $1,692 to $2,112 is significant, particularly with your clean driving records and lower mileage. I’d get several...

    Taking Care of the Battery - Suggestions from Battery Engineer from Lucid

    I think your approach makes sense, especially using Level 2 charging when it’s convenient and avoiding unnecessary fast charging. I wouldn’t be too concerned about occasionally using a DC fast charger or charging above 80% when you need the extra range, though. The battery management system is...

    Amazon frunk seat

    Honestly, I think this is a pretty clever workaround. If the patio cushions fit securely in the frunk and are comfortable, it’s hard to justify spending $500+ for the Lucid option unless you really want the factory look. The non-slip bottoms are a nice bonus, and being able to choose different...

    Glass canopy or Aluminum roof

    I came from a glass roof Model 3 as well, and the summer heat was definitely noticeable without some kind of shade. I ended up using a mesh shade, and it made a pretty big difference in comfort without completely losing the open glass roof feel. The main downside was having to remove it when I...

    Financing options

    Yes, Lucid has worked with multiple lending partners for its financing programs, so the lender can vary. As for proof of income, that depends on the lender and your credit profile. Some applicants with strong credit may not be asked for income verification, while others will need to provide it...

    Insurance

    You may want to get quotes from State Farm, Progressive, Travelers, and Wawanesa if they're still writing policies in your area. A lot of Lucid owners have found AAA to be one of the more expensive options for EVs, even with multi-policy discounts. EV repair costs and limited parts availability...

    Aftermarket Wheels for Gravity

    It’s great that you’re considering the fender clearance and steering angle instead of only focusing on getting the wheels flush. The +15MM offset sounds like a safer choice, especially since a small amount of extra clearance can prevent rubbing issues during turns or suspension compression...

    wireless charger issues resolved

    That's a surprisingly simple fix for what seemed like a complicated problem. I'm glad you were persistent and that the team was able to trace it to the plastic bracket instead of replacing parts unnecessarily. This will definitely be useful for anyone experiencing inconsistent wireless charging.

    Plugin refrigerator recommendation

    I use a 12V compressor fridge, and it's been great for road trips. A 20–30L model should fit nicely in the trunk of a 7-seater while still leaving some cargo space. Definitely go with a compressor-style unit if you want reliable cooling.

    Does delete pipe have any meaning in EV discussions or is it ICE-only terminology

    Hello everyone. I keep running into the term delete pipe in automotive discussions, but I’m struggling to understand if it has any relevance to EVs like the Lucid Air or if it is strictly an internal combustion engine concept. In ICE contexts it seems tied to removing emissions or...

    Windshield washer spray

    On a Polestar 4, this is most likely caused by diluted or contaminated washer fluid rather than a fault with the system. If it looks like water and doesn’t clean properly, the reservoir has probably been topped up with water or heavily diluted over time. The delayed spraying at the end of the...

    Home Charger Recommendation?

    Get a Tesla Wall Connector. It will work fine with the Gravity, is reliable, and supports proper Level 2 home charging.

    Gravity Service manual and teardown info.

    You’re right to be cautious on new vehicles like this, full service manuals and schematics usually aren’t publicly available yet, so most repairs aren’t documented for DIY work. For your rear washer issue, if you can hear the pump running, the most likely causes are a clogged rear nozzle, a...

    Sun Visor Placement

    Now that many Lucid owners have metal roofs, the sun visors generally feel much less intrusive. They still sit a bit lower than in typical cars, but they don’t usually block the line of sight during normal driving. Most owners find them unobtrusive and effective at reducing glare when needed.
