3.5.1 errors that disappear
I made it back to Atlanta from San Diego on Tuesday. Took the car out for a few appointments Wednesday with the new software and kept getting “right marker light” error every 10-20 seconds, along with occasionally “headlight error” and “turn signal error.” When I got out of the car I noticed the passenger side running light was flickering on and off, as well as the Lucid light bar was going on and off. The car wants me to “call customer service.”
I had never gotten these errors before. I’m like “WTH did this software update do to the car?” So, I do 5 or 6 hard resets throughout the day driving around town. The issue persists, but becomes less frequent, and then finally goes away. I drive the car today, Thursday, and no errors. This makes no sense to me either electrically or from a software standpoint. It’s ghosts in the machine, I guess. …Almost like the software update had to settle in, although I know there’s no such thing.
I’m sitting in the car in the garage tonight pounding the stereo, messing with the lighting, playing with CarPlay and the software. I’m thinking “when the software is working perfectly this is a damn fine car. I really like everything about it. If the software gremlins could get fixed and the other features working (HUD, HALO/Liveview, Hands-free ADAS) there’s not a car that can touch it. It could really be a spectacular machine, and worth every penny of the $141K I paid for it. I really hope Emad & team get the software finished.
