Whelp...looks like I may have my first "serious" issue, about 7 months into my lease. I'm getting a warning that my Front Camera is messed up, which is triggering two other warnings (Lane "monitoring" disabled and Front Collision avoidance disabled). Happened for the first time yesterday morning during my commute. On the drive home, was still there.

Once home, I rebooted and it was still there. This morning, it was gone, but reappeared to stay about 10 minutes into my drive.

So...Last night:
1. Called Lucid support. They picked up in about 1 minute. Very nice, but not too helpful. ("It could be software or it could be a hardware problem. You may need to bring it in.") They logged the issue.
2. Maybe 15 minutes later, I received a call from "my" service center in Plainview, Long Island (NY). Pretty nice....He explained that even if they sent a mobile truck for service, they could not repair the cameras, if that's the problem, in my driveway...would have to take place at the service center. He suggested I wait until the next day to see if the warning disappeared (it didn't). In the meantime, he offered the following choices if I wanted a loaner (since he said it would take at least a couple of days to do the service:
  • wait until 12/1/2025 for an appointment. At that point, a loaner would be available.
  • wait until 12/15/2025 for concierge service. They would pick up m car and drop off a loaner.
  • Try calling East Rutherford (another "nearby" service center") to see if they have something sooner.

Fortunately, the car isn't disabled, just a little less safe than it should be. I found (so far) Lucid service responsive, but waiting 4 to 6 weeks to get a loaner seems a bit much...

Stay tuned....
 
That's been pretty consisten with most car companies right now, by buddy is a master mechanic for Honda and I know they are frequently backed up a while.

That's cool you can get concierge service though, kinda fancy!
 
Called Rutherford, the other Service Center. They don't have appointments until mid-January!
 
Circling back on this....Eventually made an appointment for 12/1/2025 at Plainview. However, ended up bringing the car to Plainview last week as I had a slow leak in a tire, that my local tire place was unable to find.

Lucid did find the leak (showed me video) and replaced the tire. (Reminded me why I always replaced tires at Mavis and not at the dealer. 19" cost me $560 all in.)

While there, asked them to check the camera and they told me it checks out perfectly fine. After about a week, the warning cropped up again and stayed. So...this is becoming a chronic thing. "Camera Fault contact customer support" which knocks out lane monitoring and collision avoidance. Sometimes goes away, but always seems to come back. I'm hoping this latest OTA update maybe takes care of it.

Anyone else had this Camera Fault issue as a chronic problem? A search of the boards here found only a couple mentions, but literally years ago....
 
Same camera fault, appeared after 2.8.16 update. Same symptoms -- almost always faults when I start driving, sometimes takes a few minutes to show.
