I just sent the list of questions to my sales rep (Liddy Peters), telling her it was a consolidated list that her colleagues might also see coming in from their clients. I'll let you know what I hear back.
Here it is if you want the final version:
Hi, Liddy. The three most frequent posters on the Lucid forum (myself included) have put together a consolidated list of questions that weren’t covered in the reveal last evening or on the new website. We’re each going to send them to our sales associates, so maybe you can all pow-wow at your end to give us a consolidated set of answers? Some of the questions relate to things that were teased in earlier presentations from Lucid going back as far as 2017 (such as active noise cancellation and acoustic glass) but that weren’t taken up in yesterday’s information.
NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness)
- Is there active noise cancellation (through the audio system)?
- Is acoustic glass used? If so, where?
- What are “semi-active dampers”?
Glass Canopy & Windows
- All glass blocks UV-B radiation. How much UV-A radiation is blocked by the canopy?
- Same question for windshield and side windows.
- What is the IR (infrared radiation) rejection of the canopy?
- What is the visible light transmission percentage of the canopy?
- What is the TSER (Total Solar Energy Rejection) rating of the canopy?
Regenerative Braking
- Will the car have one-pedal driving (like Tesla), or will the brake pedal have to be depressed to activate regenerative braking (like the Taycan)?
Home Charging
- If you don’t want to install the Lucid V2G charging rig, what type of home outlet is needed to plug in the car (FEMA 14-50 or something else)?
- Voltage (240)?
- Amperage?
Rear Seat Foot Room
- How is the rear floorboard configured?
- Does the battery pack in the Dream Edition allow for any foot well recesses?
- We need a definitive photo of the rear foot wells in the Dream, as the photo on the new website is suspect, in that it does not seem to comport with the graphic of the Dream Edition battery back that puts battery modules in the footwell space.
Warranty
- What are the drivetrain and battery warranties?
- What are the warranties on other elements of the car?
Dashboard & Convenience Features
- Will the lower screen display Google Maps or Google Earth images?
- What about USB ports and older media (CD player)?
- Does the rear seat have a fold-down center armrest? If so, what is in it (cupholders, USB ports, battery charging pads)?
Technical Data
- What is the gross vehicle weight?
- What are the differences in the HVAC with the Cold Weather package? I assume the Cold Weather heater is a heat pump instead of a resistance coil. What difference in range and vehicle weight does the heating choice make?
- What is the weight of the 21” forged wheels?
- What is the bolt pattern?
- What are the front and rear wheel offsets?
