I wanted to share some feedback regarding charging behavior when a Lucid Air is used with a Tesla Powerwall that has scheduled charging enabled.
In my setup, the Powerwall is configured to start EV charging at a specific time. I intentionally do not set a charging schedule in the Lucid Air, because managing the schedule at the Powerwall level allows the same schedule to apply to all EVs in the household, regardless of make or model.
However, I’ve noticed that when the Powerwall begins supplying power at the scheduled time, the Lucid Air does not automatically start charging unless a schedule is also set in the vehicle. This creates a situation where charging never begins, even though power becomes available.
I understand this behavior may not be fixable via software on current vehicles, but I wanted to share it as feedback for future Lucid models. Ideally, the vehicle would begin charging automatically when power becomes available from an external energy management system, even if no vehicle-side schedule is set.
This would greatly improve compatibility with whole-home energy systems like Powerwall and make multi-EV households easier to manage.
