I wanted to share a slightly hair-raising experience I had this morning in my 2024 Lucid Air Touring and see if anyone else has run into this or has thoughts on how the vehicle software handles it.
I was driving down the road at around 20 mph this morning, got a little distracted, and went to turn on the wipers. In the moment of distraction, I hit the wrong button and accidentally engaged Park while the car was still moving.
To my surprise, the car actually let it happen. While it didn't lock up the rear wheels or cause a skid, it was abrupt and frankly felt pretty jarring.
Honestly, getting this kind of unexpected behavior when someone hits the wrong button could easily be considered dangerous—especially if it happens on a busier road or highway where other distracted drivers might inadvertently hit the wrong control.
Is this normal behavior for the software, or is this something Lucid needs to address in a future OTA update to prevent accidental gear shifts at speed? Curious to hear your thoughts or if anyone else has experienced this.
