    Exploring buying a new Lucid Air.

    I think you have to look at the bigger picture on the design philosophy of the car compared to other competitors. IMHO Lucid outshines all others with respect to this. Their design and engineering, at the moment, is ahead of all others. I would encourage you to watch these 2 interview/videos...

    Can you tell the start / stop times of charging when you have it charging overnight

    Here's what my Emporia Level 2 home charger provides. Cost is a SWAG as I'm on real time pricing with my electrical provider which the app cannot estimate.

    EA Charging Problems

    I'll pay closer attention to that metric next time. Having an Air Pure I'm not getting close to 243kW. If I'm not charging at home with the level 2 charging I'm charging at the local EA which are150 kW chargers. When I do that the most important metric to me is are they open or not at the...

    EA Charging Problems

    True - I'll have to pay attention to that. The miles/minute is on the panel and easy to see.

    EA Charging Problems

    I was referring to miles/minute. Yesterday charging was at 6 mi/minute as opposed to prior max of 4 mi/minute. I couldn't tell you what kW the stations hit while charging. I know it's a 150 kW EA station.

    EA Charging Problems

    I charged the car last night at the local EA charger and noticed that the charging was faster then previous. Am I imagining or has EA and or Lucid improved charging efficiency?

    Can you tell the start / stop times of charging when you have it charging overnight

    Check the app for the home charger. I have a Emporia Level 2 charger and the app shows charging history/detail. i.e. - date, time of day, length and kWh.

    Lucid Air or BMW i5

    We bought our Lucid Air Pure in June 2023 as a replacement car for my wife. I've been a BMW owner since the mid-90s and been looking to replace my ICE 335xi with a like EV (which does not exist, yet). I’m keeping an eye on upcoming EV models (right now at the top of the list is the Dodge...

    Mobile key not working

    Something to be aware of, as it was explained to me, is the the key fob uses bluetooth, not RF, which uses up battery life quickly and can cause the fob not to function as expected. When we first got our car and were having this issue, which still persists, is to replace the key fob battery...

    How often do you inflate your tires?

    I have the same tires. When our weather was sub-zero, my tires went down to 40 psi and the car alerted me. I inflated to 49/50 psi. But, when it warmed up the tires over inflated to almost 60 psi with no alert from the car. I feel the TPS system should alert to under and over inflated tires...

    Car Washing...what are your tips and tricks

    I can't address your questions directly. But, to avoid some of these issues I got my car completely ceramic coated and applied PPF = paint protection film to the front clip/quarter panels. From my observation, the ceramic coating does a good job repelling dirt, spots, etc. I only go to a...

    Another front license plate question

    I concur with Billvb, purely aesthetics. On other cars I've been without a front plate for 30+ years always at risk of getting a ticket where I live, Illinois. Chicago seems to be the only place I get tickets for this transgression (a number of years ago after getting booted at O'Hare I...

    Energy limited due to cold battery

    With respect to preconditioning the manual states the following: "Preconditioning optimizes the temperature of the battery so it receives the maximum amount of charging from a fast charging station. Your Lucid Air can precondition your battery before fast charging".... "Note: Preconditioning is...

    Energy limited due to cold battery

    With the recent sub zero temps battery performance was greatly reduced. Gut feel is efficiency was down 30-40% which is significant, especially when going on longer drives. I'm curious to get other people's experiences with cold weather driving, i.e. - 10 degrees to sub-zero.

    Drive Settings - HOLD

    Thanks. I never thought about using ACC in stop and go. I'll give it a try

    Drive Settings - HOLD

    I'm still not sure in what situations I would use Creep, other then parking. Would it be useful in highway stop and go driving? In this situation would the car stop itself before hitting the car in front? Still not sure when I would use this feature.

    Car Washing...what are your tips and tricks

    You might want to look into getting your cars ceramic coated by a authorized detailer - https://gtechniq.com/automotive/. In the long run easier to keep the car clean and preserve the paint from all of the stated issues.
