    Spare tire

    There are about 4 spare tire options specifically designed for Lucid. I went with EV Sportsline spare because I think it looks the best. Otherwise, they are all essentially the same. The spare tires are all the same size and should just barely fit in the lower well of the frunk with the cover in...

    Spare tire

    I highly recommend buying a spare time for your Lucid Air. There is no really good options if you don’t have one - you can use Fix-a-Flat temporarily for some tire issues, but this isn’t a very good solution. One thing nice is the spare I bought fits in the lower side of the frunk and the cover...

    Spare tire

    The frunk has 2 sections. The spare I have fits in the bottom section of the frunk tilted so that the cover fits cleanly over it and allows me to use the space on top for additional storage. If you remove the spare and use it to replace a flat, the tire you remove is larger and definitely won’t...

    Daily Charge

    If you do use super-fast public charging, it's always best to precondition the battery before you do this. You can set this in the app.

    Daily Charge

    80% is the "sweet spot" according to Lucid service to gain the best range with proper battery health and longevity. If you charge less, it's also good for the battery but leaves you with less range if you ever need it before charging.

    Daily Charge

    With the iPhone, even if you need to replace the battery more often because you want a full charge every day, it's less than $100 to replace the battery early - not a big deal. Think of how much more important it is not to charge fully the Lucid every day when you just use it for around town and...

    Daily Charge

    The iPhone even has settings for this in recent versions. Yep, that's where you set the charge limit. Good move on Apple's part, as this wasn't included in previous iOS versions.

    Daily Charge

    Hi Baher, Yes, this is common practice with any battery, especially in an electric vehicle since the batteries are so expensive. If you like to charge your battery regularly after each day, set the max at 80% and it won’t degrade the battery life at all. If you leave it at 100% and charge daily...

    Front 21" Tire Shortage

    I don’t remember the specific website, but I do remember that they rated the wear and life of the tires very differently. Both tires were rated good performance, but the Michelin tires were rated to last significantly longer. I just googled performance tire reviews, and found a site that had a...

    Front 21" Tire Shortage

    I found out that other places carry them, but Costco is the only one that I found that actually recommends them for the Lucid Air. They ride nice and smooth. I have always liked Michelin tires. The exact same size and warranty and about the same price as the Pirellis. I did extensive research...

    Front 21" Tire Shortage

    There are only 2 tires available that will fit the 21" rims and support the weight of the Lucid Air, the Pirelli's that come with the vehicle and the Michelin Pilot Sport EV. They are both summer tires. I did extensive research and found the proper sizes for the front and back available from...

    Spare tire

    The rim is in black as pictured. There are 3 spare tires out that I’ve seen for the Lucid. The red rim spare is from another vendor.

    Spare tire

    I wanted to buy a spare tire for my Lucid Air GT that fit in the lower section of the frunk with the cover fitting over the top. I found conflicting information online so I decided to call EV Sportline to see if they could confirm whether it would fit. i was told they never tried it and weren’t...

    Front 21" Tire Shortage

    You are correct, I just had these Michelin tires installed at Costco. Although there are other tires this size available from Continental, Hankook, Bridgestone and others, the Pirelli and Michelin are the only ones that are HL (high load) rated to handle the weight of the Lucid Air. For some...
