AC software sometimes no cold air

I see so if our ac isn’t blowing cold air we think that it’s being dedicated to cool the battery ?

most likely
Any idea are the fans linked to passive lock and unlock? My fans stop if I lock the car, I think. Our phone and key can be somewhat close to the car as kitchen is close to garage. What I think is happening is cause of passive lock unlock Lucid always thinks I am about to go for a drive so it fans the battery but I am not going for a drive lol.
Me thinks 2.1.3 will tune down this — is my thinking right ??
The BMS fans run independent of lock state. If you hear them running, your batteries are too hot.

I wonder
i set my car to begin charging at 4 AM which helps with the heat. My garage was getting up to 114 and the car was throttling charging. Doesn’t seem to happen at 4am.

The BMS fans operate regardless of lock or unlock but the cabin air conditioning turns on when you unlock. If your fob is nearby and you unlock it, the air conditioning fans will kick on. If the battery is hot, this could also trigger the BMS fans since you are now drawing current from the batteries.

It’s not going to generate cool air, but it circulate stuffy hot air and make it more tolerable. I’m my case, it’s better than nothing. Also use radiant barrier for your 3 windows that can induce heat into garage.
Our tesla friends took apart the frunk in their 2019
Model 3 and got access to the radiator and man it had a crazy amount of leaves and junk. Makes me wonder if we also need to think about cleaning the Lucid radiator fins.
They cleaned out the Tesla fins and ac fan airflow improved significantly. Made me think …

For now I turned off passive unlock and now I hear the fan noises much less
I’d love if they would geofence the locking/unlocking options.
Yeah if it was geo fenced I would turn back on Passive unlock just give us the option to turn it off at home baby steps.
And this is exactly why I only use the fob and not mobile key. The fob sits right next to the garage (I've got a smaller home than some of you). As long as the fob doesn't move, the car invalidates it. The second I pick up the fob, the car wakes up. It's perfect. With mobile key, just moving around my house wakes the car up constantly.
Until the passive locking/unlocking settings get geofenced...

Lucid store now has sunshades available for glass canopy: https://store.lucidmotors.com/lucid-air-sunshade-glass-canopy/
Looking forward to a review from someone. $170 is a little steep, but worth it if they work.
