Some cases don’t work well with some wireless chargers. This isn’t unique to Lucid; the same case of mine that didn’t work also was a pain on other wireless chargers.
It's frustrating how bad the situation is for wireless charging standards. I find it's not particularly reliable, and end up just plugging my phone into a USB-C cable so that I don't have to worry about it. USB standards are also a huge mess, but at least we're now at a point where you can be pretty confident that some amount of charging will occur with a cable, even if it's not charging your phone as fast as it could be.
Twraps wireless charger for the Lucid rocks! I’m fine with 3rd party affordable solutions like that.
Interesting, I'd never heard of that company before. I see they also sell screen protectors for the car, which is a product I'd never thought of before. I don't know that I worry about cracking the screen on the vehicle, but I am curious if it's actually better for maintaining clarity in the face of all the usual fingerprints and smudges that touch screens tend to have.
I have their matte screen protector for my Air, it’s awesome for reducing fingerprints and that wireless charger is perfect for the air as it also creates a functional shelf in the armrest area and unlike the Air’s wireless charger it works great.
Lots of phone cases won't work (or won't work well) for wireless charging, regardless of the charging pad. Thin TPU cases are usually OK tho (the most common type). Anything thicker, or metal (like aluminum), good luck. Mine has a built-in ring on the back and it won't work on any wireless charger.
Thanks for noting this -- I just checked, and the same is the case for me!
Ran into a couple of software bugs today.
App tells me my window is open and need to confirm if I want to enable AC remotely. Window was not open.
Then on the last leg of my drive home from SoCal. after leaving Firebaugh Supercharger. I got an error indicating head light issue, contact service. The headlights remain on for the 2 hour drive home. can't turn it off, can't change fogs or parking, it just stayed on all the way. Got home, soft reboot. Seems to fixed it.
Also got back to car at Firebaugh Supercharger. Windshield wiper came on, check settings, it was set to ON, when I set it off for the past few days. Manully changing back to OFF fixed it. Wondering if this is related to the headlight issue, since both functions were coming from the left corner touch panel (no idea, just thinking out loud). I think I did about 4 or 5 soft reboots since taken delivery.

Will definitely update as I know more. I was supposed to get a call today with an estimate for how long it would take, but I haven’t heard from them yet. Will call them tomorrow.
As of yesterday evening they were still unable to get any of the keys to respond. They have engineers looking into the software and nodes on the vehicle. No ETA for when they’d be able to get the vehicle back to me.
Thanks for the updates. Are they putting you in a Lucid Air loaner at least? Sorry for your misfortune but at least this early issue may help identify a potential for fault in other vehicles, which I’m learning is an unfortunate drawback to being an early adopter of a small volume product (I also play pinball, ask me sometime how often expensive machines end up throwing issues and needing software update or hardware tweak). Early on with my GT while I was at the service center there was a GT owner from Maine who was there and they couldn’t get any fob or app access to work, I think engineering ended up isolating it to some faulty circuit board. As annoying as it is sometimes they’re at the mercy of 3rd party suppliers that delivered a fault prone board. This happened to me with the left LIN bus which controlled the charge port door, wipers and motor coolant pump for the left side of the car. Took about a week of testing as I think my car was the first one this happened to but then it helped them more quickly identify the few times it happens in other vehicles.
I only got one as well.
Same here
