    Battery powered vanity mirrors

    Am I the only person that finds the battery-powered visor vanity mirrors a bit janky? I’m replacing the L and R sets of batteries for the third time in two years despite hardly using the mirror lights. I see from other threads that the visors are essentially permanent (removing the puck would...

    Tire bubble

    Well, how about that. The driver front tire has a bubble after three months. Upside: I have the warranty from the replacement I did three months ago. But after that it's time to replace the 21" rims with 19". In other news... are we able to use other 19" tires if/when the OEM Pirellis bite it...

    Opening door from the outside without power

    So… in the event that the power fails, how does one open the doors from the outside? I don’t see how this is possible unless there’s a physical way to bypass the electronic lock, which seems insecure. https://www.azfamily.com/2024/06/20/toddler-trapped-car-when-tesla-battery-dies-scottsdale/ - T

    OTA 2.1.52 and new GPS issues

    I’ve observed a weird glitch in the GPS system after receiving OTA 2.1.52 where twice now the GPS has drifted off position by what looks like a few tens of yards. My passenger got a photo of the display the first time (2024-02-10) in which the car thinks it’s on a side street parallel to the...

    FYI: Soft logo reset + profile logout/in fixed seat prefs

    I noticed this week that the Restore buttons on the seat and steering settings remained greyed out even after moving the wheel and seats around. I ran into this problem before and required a service appointment to get it fixed. This time around, a logo reset + logging out and back into my...

    Interference from airport equipment and CarPlay

    Noticed an interesting quirk with CarPlay and the nearby airport (SJC). A local freeway (CA 87) runs parallel to the main runway and is elevated near the south runway threshold. Whenever I pass that spot the music on CarPlay wireless will stutter a handful of times, making me wonder if some...

    RESOLVED Tire buzz after replacing punctured/bubbled tires

    I had to replace three (!!!) 21” tires after hitting a pothole (or crater) in Los Angeles; and now I hear a hum/buzz at speed in the front tires that wasn’t there before. An alignment check showed toe and camber at nominal. Anyone have any other theories? Otherwise it’s a trip back the the...

    CarPlay / home Wi-Fi handoff problem workaround

    Wireless CarPlay was wonky when I’d get into my car at home. The “CarPlay” icon wouldn’t always show on the Lucid Home Screen, while other times music wouldn’t play (I’d press the play button, and it would flicker between the play and pause icon). My hunch is that the Lucid Wi-Fi can’t properly...

    PSA: Self leveling headlight reset

    In case you get the headlight auto-leveling warning light: mine came on after I bottomed out going over a speed bump, but it looks like the headlights will recalibrate and reset themselves after parking/restarting the car. - T

    2.0.36 install stopped…?

    I started installing 2.0.36 and came back to find my car still on 2.0.35 and no option to install .36… anyone else see that happen? - T
