After experiencing a _fifth_ tire issue (bubble on the front passenger sidewall)... I'm exercising my AT/DT warranty (and the Pirelli OEM warranty if it applies) to replace that again. - T

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...

Echoing @AnthonyInCO, America’s Tire / Discount Tire has been my go-to. Honest service, competitive pricing, and … walkable from my house. AT/DT (that would be a great cover band name) will also patch tires for free. Cynics will argue that it’s a ruse to get you in the door, but they’ve patched...

I can't type. I meant in the other direction. I've considered switching to 20" rims. Specifically to give my car more cushioning against potholes. (facepalm) - T

Yes. We didn't have a particularly cold winter 2022-23, but we had a lot of rain, followed by a lot of potholes. I should really have submitted a claim form to the state (it was a state road) but never got around to it and don't have any photos to prove the damage. I've considered switching to...

I think it's fair to feel aggrieved about having bubbled tires on what I assume is a relatively new Lucid. I experienced two blowouts and two bubbled tires due to winter-worn roads in both Northern (Bay Area) and Southern (LA) California. Worse, after the first blowout, I was stuck without my...

I'll second you on the lock/unlock lag. The only time the guaranteed not to be a lag is if I'm puttering back and forth between the kitchen and garage; then, the car locks and unlocks and locks like a dog begging for a walk. I'll go one better: I'd like one permanent home link button somewhere...

The 2.1.3 update added an “easy entry” option to slide the front seats back (and I assume move the seat back into position after closing the door). - T

My ten minutes of driving with the Tesla FSD beta enabled included it hugging the curb like a drunk and aiming straight at the corner cuts while attempting to turn left. So, no, we aren't close by a long shot. - T

Update: Lucid Service in Millbrae replaced the front left and right wheel bearings and everything is back to normal with no “buzz”. As bonus, work was covered under warranty! In related news, a feature request: LIDAR pothole scanner… - T

Update: finally got into the service center and went on a freeway drive with a service tech. Within five seconds of driving he said “damaged wheel bearings”. So I’m getting new front bearings in a couple of weeks… 21” wheels look great but are dicey on the moon-like roads of CA. - T

A quick skim of the ‘net suggests ILS or Doppler radar interference with Wi-Fi as potential culprits. As an experiment I might try using wired CarPlay on the next drive past. - T

Ah, sorry, didn't realize the "air logo" reset was a recent add. - T

I’ve read two different things in the forums: that the Pilot Panel reset is infotainment-only, and (implied by an earlier comment in this thread) that it is a full soft reset. If the latter, wouldn’t it be easier to use the Pilot Panel reset if stuck on the roadside? - T

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...

I now wonder if the tires are in the reverse direction; I eyeballed the tires post-install but I was "distracted" after having to replace three tires for one pothole so I might have missed something. Is the foam part of the tire or is added by the installer? - T

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...

Right behind you. Less than 4500, two potholes serving up two blowouts and two bubbles in the Pirellis. Wondering if the Pirellis are just fancy brave-name garbage. - T

In the alternate, I wonder if the infotainment modem chip handles both Bluetooth for steaming and Wi-Fi for CarPlay. BT for phone->car streaming was flakey until a few updates went through. - T

The flakiness of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth makes me wonder if there’s some sort of issue with whatever wireless modem chip Lucid uses. One wonders if the chip or daughter board needs a firmware update. - T
