    Thank you, Scottsdale SC

    I want to give a shout-out to the Lucid SC in Scottsdale, and in particular, my Service Advisor, Lena. Lena has been my SC Advisor since Day 1 (2 years ago). The whole SC team was great! I took my 2022 AGT in for my two-year maintenance. The car only had ~14,000 miles on it. Aside from the...

    Lucid's Charging Curve, can it be improved via OTA update?

    Inasmuch as Lucid touts its 900V architecture and fast charging, it is apparent that many studies have concluded that the fast charging is only beneficial in the initial 5-8min, if the SoC is low (say 10% or less). With the current DCFC, the rate of fast charging is not sustained. Various...

    EPA Methodology, is it accurately reflecting the actual driving conditions and resultant EV efficiency and range?

    There is a lot of discussions and opinions on whether the current EPA methodologies accurately reflect actual EV efficiency and estimated driving range. The moderators feel that this topic has "infiltrated" too many other threads and want us to create a dedicate thread to address. So, let's...

    Navigation System on the Lucid, does it really work?

    Don’t know if my experience is unique. But the navigation system on my Lucid is unbelievably unreliable. Honestly, it never really worked since Day 1 (16 month ago). Specifically, It “locks up” often…i.e., total unresponsive to any inputs. Sometimes it works…you can access it on the front...

    For Your Entertainment....How Fisker’s Half-Baked SW Can Ruin an Otherwise Good EV

    This is a recent review of the Fisker Ocean. Draw your own conclusions. Not suggesting Lucid, as it exists today, is this bad.😉 I've been critical about Lucid's SW quality. I never experienced UX 1.0. I got my car right after they released UX 2.0. By all accounts, Lucid's UX 2.0 was a...

    Road Tripping on EVs and Gas-based Cars, A Perspective.

    Background: I have two homes, one in Phoenix AZ, and one in Sausalito CA. Before my (now) 2nd home in Sausalito, I had a 2nd home in Rancho Palos Verdes (LA suburb) when my son was going to school at USC. I regularly drove the Phoenix to LA route (400 miles, door-to-door) and now, I drive the...

    Lucid Features and Vaklue

    Lucid Air Features and Value I am approaching my first anniversary of owning my Lucid AGT. I am wondering: Is the LIDAR on the Lucid AIR being used in any useful features on the Lucid? Could these same features be implemented without the LIDAR (as competitors have done)? Asked...

    Roadtrip and Navigation

    My recent 2,800-mile trip (Phoenix to LA to Bay Area and back, plus roaming around LA and the Bay Area). I got my AGT (19” wheels w/ cover) in Nov. 2022. This is my first long road-trip in my AGT. Nothing profound. Just want to share my experience: The Good: The car drove nicely, handled...

    EA Charging Problems

    Not sure what everyone's experience is with EA. I haven't been able to charge at an EA station in the last 3 attempts.In short, the EA stations don't recognize my car. The first time, I called. The EA operator made me read the last 8 characters of my VIN and then she overrode the charger to let...

    Bugs and System Validation

    At its core, Lucid’s core-competencies are electro-mechanical and batteries. Based on these competencies, they built an industry-leading skateboard and a low-drag body. Together, these building blocks gave the Air superiority on mpge, range, and acceleration. These are the main reasons why...

    Quality Issues

    I was impressed with Lucid design and engineering when I first visited the Lucid Studio in CA 1.5 years ago. I made a deposit on my AGT and received it mid Novemeber 2022. Overall, I am disappointed in Lucid's qualit after 6 weeks of ownership (2 weeks back in the Lucid Service Center)y. I want...

    "Charging Error"

    I have my Lucid GT for almost 2 weeks. I received it with 2.0 software already installed. There was another OTA (2.0.X) about a week later, which I downloaded and installed. However, I continue to experience "Charging Error". The error is NOT limited to just delayed charging. I have to...

    Scheduling of EV Charging

    I am a new Lucid owner (Lucid Aur Grand Touring). I see the Lucid can be charged at home using a Level 2 charger or directly connect a 240V (or 120V) to the Wunderbox. That's all great! My question is, how do you SCHEDULE charging vis-a-vis, if I plug my Lucid in at 6PM but I want the charging...
