    Suggestion to make it easier to deal with variable effective range

    Everyone knows that the EFFECTIVE range of the battery charge displayed is affected by many things: driving speed, weather conditions, car load, electric load (AC, seats, etc.), terrain (mountains?), traffic conditions, etc. We Lucid drivers are left to factor these things in as we do mental...

    One-Year Review

    We’ve owned our C/4 for more than 10 years and put on 15,000 miles — made easy because we do at least one 1,000-mile vintage auto rally every year. The C/4 is a great rally car. It will cruise all day at 100 mph and then crawl along in heavy traffic in 100-degree weather without overheating. As...

    One-Year Review

    We took delivery on our Lucid GT exactly one year ago, and I thought I’d share our first anniversary thoughts. We’ve done 5,500 miles, including round trips of 800 and several of 300 miles. Only one problem so far: the original rear license plate holder failed, but a nice young guy in a Lucid...

    Car Play not working?

    I got the Car Play announcement email Thursday, the OTA Friday, and connected Car Play Friday afternoon effortlessly. Looks good, works well, but things I have noticed so far: messages supported, but not email (which is supported in my BMW). Also, starting Car Play disconnects WiFi in my phone...

    2.0.15 - stupid question

    Thanks for the simple solution. Sounds too easy to be true!

    2.0.15 - stupid question

    I've done the 2.0 update over the past two days. All is well, and the latency issues with electronics on startup are definitely improved. One practical question, though: Instructions were to leave the key fob in the car so it could be updated to go to sleep at times to save battery life. Worked...

    Software update V2.0.13

    I got the update for my GT this week in 2 parts: an initial 5-minute update, then a 59-minute update a couple days later.

    OTA 1.2.19

    My car did a 5-minute update a few days ago, and then an 80-minute update to 1.219 last night. And that’s all the description I can find about what I got!

    Regenerative Braking Algorithm

    Does anyone know the algorithm that Lucid uses to determine when the brake lights go on while regenerative braking? Do the brake lights go on as soon as you start to lift your foot off the pedal, or do they go on only when your foot is all the way off the pedal, or somewhere in between? I'm...

    EVs with 600 mile range

    I agree. We just did 350-mile trips between Phoenix and La Jolla, testing actual mileage and availability of EA stations along the way. Bad news: with mountains, 114-degree heat, and a full vacation load, we got only 60-65% of the projected mileage. Good news: charging at a 350 EA unit starting...

    Unique License Plate

    Thanks. I do love the plate -- but the system Lucid uses to hold it on the back of the car has been very problematic. When I tried to replace the original paper plate with the new LUCIDGT personalized metal plate, a couple of the screws pulled their brass nuts completely out of the little rubber...

    Just got your Air? Consider buying this stuff

    For $9.99 I just bought a Glare Patch 2-pack of 8x6x6-inch very light plastic UV heat shields from Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Glare-Patch-Miniature-Sunshade-Included/dp/B07YXKWWJQ/ref=sr_1_2?crid=34HA7VTVYH9WO&keywords=glare+patch&qid=1660860564&sprefix=glare+patch%2Caps%2C115&sr=8-2). They...

    Feedback/improvements for the Air!

    I agree with many of the improvements noted above, but to me the greatest overall need is the very slow speed of ALL computer actions and apps. The time it takes to sync with my current model iPhone, the time it takes to wake up screen graphics and apps, etc. i feel like i’m dealing with an 8086...

    Unique License Plate

    I was surprised I could get the Alternative Fuel Arizona plate “LUCIDGT” for my Grand Touring Lucid. Obviously it will be unique in the State of Arizona!

    Lucid Battery Fires

    The Phoenix Business Journal reported today that the Casa Grande fire department in 2022 has responded to 2 battery fires inside the Lucid plant. My GT often shows temps in my garage of 100-120 degrees, despite its cooling fans turning on frequently. I am exploring adding AC in my garage, as...

    Hot Topic!

    Yes, all of our interior vents are open. But you want to make sure that the car’s outside vents are closed, so you’re nit cooling and circulating 114-degree outside air.

    Hot Topic!

    40th and Palo Verde Dr. Going down 44th near Camelback about 12:45 we saw a Lucid turning left into the AJ’s shopping center. Was that yours?

    Hot Topic!

    I just checked on the 220-volt charge going on In my driveway. It’s 89 degrees outside at 7:40 pm and the charge seems to be going well, and the battery fan is running.

    Hot Topic!

    The delivery folks did a software update right before I picked up thr car, so I should be on the latest version.

    Hot Topic!

    I took delivery on a GT (zenith red, tahoe interior, 21-inch wheels) a couple days ago and have been surprised that a luxury vehicle made in AZ has some serious heat issues. I live in Phoenix, where it’s been 114 degrees the past few days (and it’s only June!). The AC has been struggling a bit...
