Lucid Air Touring
When I got in my car, the main dashboard screen (the one above the steering wheel) and the screen to the left of that are black. The two middle screens are working. I did both types of resets but it didn’t fix the problem. I spoke with customer care and they are going to tow the car to the service center, but I’m wondering if anyone here has any ideas. I’m pretty frustrated because I’ve only had the car for three months and this is the third time it’s had to go to the service center and each time I was without the car for a week or more. I’m actually going to look into NJ law to see if I can make a lemon law claim.
 
My car is going into service tomorrow with the same issue only it’s the right side of the cockpit display. I also had the pilot display go black today, but it came back after the car sat for 15 minutes or so. I’ve had my car for just over 3 weeks and I’ve had more issues than the last 7 cars I’ve owned and it’s less than a month old. Good luck on your issue. I’m hoping they can fix it fast because I do like driving the car, but it has consumed my life since I got it.

Sometimes letting the car go into a deep sleep will resolve issues if the reset doesn’t. I’m assuming you’ve already left it overnight and the issue has persisted? If so, then yes, it needs to go in to be looked at.

Lucid has loaners, they’re not offering you one?
 
I did let the car sit overnight but it didn’t fix the issue.

They don’t offer loaners when a car needs to be towed and at first it was going to be towed because it wouldn’t go into gear. But, after numerous resets and pressing of the brake, I was finally able to get the car into gear and service was willing to give me the loaner and drive the car to Rutherford even though it had the black dashboard screen, (it was taken yesterday). But low and behold that after sitting with a black dashboard for two days, as soon as the guy came yesterday to get the car the dashboard finally lit up (it was still black just 30 mins before that). Anyway, it’s at the service center now but they are backed up and so I don’t yet have an ETA on when I’ll get the car back.

I’m sure they will get it fixed quickly. Of course you don’t have an ETA yet, they only took the car “yesterday.”

They actually already warned me that it may take 1-2 weeks because of how backed up they are (hopefully it won't be more than a week though).

KOP has flat-bedded a loaner up to me in northern NJ, then taken my car back on the same flatbed.

It’s always the way 😂

Hopefully it’s a quick fix and you’ll have your car back sooner rather than later
