    No L2 charging

    Strangest thing happened a week or so ago. After flawless scheduled charging since Lucid added that update, my 2023 Air Touring started charging as soon as I plugged it into my charger, even though it was set for scheduled charging eight hours later. So I stopped charging, removed the cable...

    Cellular provider

    I vaguely remember this being discussed a long time ago. In the recent update thread, many users referred to positioning the car for the best AT&T cellular signal. We've acknowledged that AT&T is built into the car for updates and entertainment. At some point, Lucid will begin charging for this...

    Tidal vs. Qobuz

    I realize that Tidal is a native app in the Lucid while Qobuz is not. Of course, with CarPlay (and if AA ever debuts) it would be almost as good as a native app. All of my friends in central Illinois are big Qobuz fans and say they prefer it to Tidal. (Yes, I know Tidal offers Dolby Atmos, but...

    EA fails again

    It was a beautiful day with ambient temperature 70 degrees with light wind. Travelling the 150 miles from Champaign to Chicago at 73 mph drained the battery 50 percent from a 100 percent charge. We had about 3.8 efficiency. So I headed for EA's Lincolnwood charger, hidden at the edge of the...

    Philosophical observation

    I've been a member of this forum for two years. I really enjoy the commentary and conversation. What I've observed over the past two years is that, possibly more than any other discussion of EVs, the Lucid Air resembles the old Indian tale of the blind men and the elephant. Each person walks up...

    New interesting technology

    Even though this is initially about Volvo, I thought you might find this new battery charging technology worthy of a read. It easily could be employed by Lucid down the line. https://arstechnica.com/cars/2024/03/volvos-new-battery-software-could-cut-ev-charge-times-by-30/

    Perhaps I should have bought a GT....

    This may not be technically possible, but it's a sacrifice I'd be willing to make. It kind of reminds me of something I once read in a Ray Bradbury science fiction story. I'd be happy for Lucid to take two years off my battery warranty in return for increasing my range by 20 percent. I don't...

    Ars Technica article on how the EPA determines EV range

    Here's a credible, well-written article about how the EPA determines range estimates: https://arstechnica.com/cars/2024/01/heres-how-the-epa-calculates-how-far-an-ev-can-go-on-a-full-charge/

    The good, bad and the ugly

    We were driving the 150 miles from home near Champaign to Chicago for a radio appearance last night (12/30), on WFMT with a 10-mile detour to drop off the dog with my partner's sister while we proceeded into the city for dinner with friends and the broadcast. We had hoped to do a little shopping...

    Climate control

    We all know the icon that does the following: "Activating this feature maintains the current cabin temperature after exiting the vehicle for 45 minutes." I just want to confirm that applies not only to cooling, but also to heating? I am aware that leaving the heater on will drain the batteries...

    USB issue

    For the first six months I drove my Air Touring the USB input worked just fine. Over the years I've made myself dozens of "favorites" compilations migrating from cassette to CD to phone to thumb drives. I bought a 16 GB brand name USB thumb drive, formatted it in FAT32 and transferred about 7 GB...

    Bravo to Goose Island, Chicago crew

    My USB port started acting a bit finicky. One day it played music from my USB drive, the next day it didn't. (Yes, formatted FAT32 using MP3 files, only about 10 GB on the drive.) I contacted customer service and told them this was no emergency, but it would be nice sometime to straighten this...

    Robust 19-inch wheels/tires

    I was turning into a small parking lot where the concrete curb jutted a little further out on the right than I noticed. I hit it with the two right wheels at about 15 mph. I can see no damage to the wheel rim and thus far, the tire remains normally inflated. I have no idea if there is any...

    No audio

    Since buying my Lucid Air Touring, on an irregular basis, that car totally loses audio. While I can live without entertainment, silent turn signals are a quasi-safety hazard. Sometimes I lose audio once a month, other times twice a week. Letting the car do a simple reset (that is, walking away...

    Wheel size

    Forgive me for a naive question, or perhaps beating a dead horse. It's a fact that the 19-inch wheels provide the greatest range with the Lucid Air. From reading scores of posts on this forum in the past 18 months, it seems the 19-inch tires are the least problematic of the three tire sizes...

    speed limit display

    I know this has been touched on before, but is there any way to turn off the annoying speed limit sign on the cockpit panel? It's rarely correct. Rather than using GPS and a database (as do Apple CarPlay and Android Auto) it takes a picture of whatever speed limit sign it sees. That could be the...

    The Goose lays a golden egg

    Goose Island, Chicago sent a terrific mobile service technician to my home about 150 miles away. Forgive if I've misspelled, his name is Guillermo. He really knew his stuff, was well-spoken, conscientious and fast without cutting corners. I needed the auto-entry seat adjust enabled. He also...
