I took delivery late yesterday and it was dark by the time I got it. Took the touring out for a drive today. A lot of the generally impressions are similar to other that have been covered to death: love the drive, cup holder too small, can't wait for Apple CarPlay ... etc.
A few things did stand out for me:
- Wireless charging work fine with iPhone 14 Pro Max in a case. I did have to wiggle the phone a little bit and to my surprise it was charging my phone. This is different from most of the report from the forum, I'm not sure if it's my case or Lucid improved their production. But this is definitely a welcome change.
- Once retracted my pilot panel can't come down, we saw this issue during delivery and the service team fixed it with a hard reset. But it happened again and doing a hard reset did not resolve it. Somehow when I pulled into a parking slot, and the panel attempted to come down to show the camera a few times and it succeed. For the problem see the attached video.
- I also had my first charge session with EA, initially it had an authentication error and the car prompted me to unplug and try again. Once I did that it authenticated, and I had to choose the station in the Lucid app and the car begin charging without me having to dealt with the EA app. I was at 49% state of charge and only did maybe 1-2 mins of preconditioning, the peak charge rate was kW from a 150kW station.
- The base seems to be a bit weak on first listening impression, I'll probably measure it using REW with a calibrated mic later and see if I can tune the audio parameters. I'll definitely report back.
Overall, I think it's not perfect, but is pretty good.
