Looks good.

I like that version, but my only concern is that the magnetic mount is a little higher than I would like, and that means I can’t close the roll-top with the phone on it.
Hi,
$35.00 is a bargain!!
Absolutely, or I can print one out for you and send it to you if you’d like.
lol .. yeah .. he's a good kid and loves to create and print stuff .. we (friends and I) just give him enough $$ to cover materials, and shipping .. and a little extra to cover his payments for the 3D printer (still paying back his mom for it) ..$35.00 is a bargain!!
Hi Bobby - just learning about all this. One question: Do you know if it's possible to install 2 of these (looks like it should work). When I'm driving, my wife also needs her iPhone to be on a charger most of the time.
Yes, you can install one on each side. You will then need some sort of splitter for the USB-C port to power than both.

Cool idea, and I hope someone takes you up on this. But the last thing I want is my phone to be visible while I'm driving. One of the things I actually like about Lucid's design choice with the phone charger is to put it inside the center console, hidden under the compartment door. I'd love to see someone make a dual charger that basically replaces the existing single one (and accommodates bigger phones, for those who have them.Hi Everyone,
I have been searching for a MagSafe solution for the Lucid that would accommodate 2 iPhones and provide 15W fast charging. After doing a bit of research, there's a company called Course Motorsports that develops vehicle-specific phone mounts and have them for a number of vehicles. Their general concept is to unclip the dash panel(s) and find existing mounting points. From there, they create a bracket that simply mounts to the existing screw and the bracket then accepts a variety of mounts (including MagSafe and 15W MagSafe Charging) to the exposed bracket. The beauty of their solution is that it looks factory installed and is completely reversible - to remove simple unclip the dash panel and remove the bracket.
Looking at our interior, I would like to see a mount created for both the driver's side and passenger side (of course, you can choose to install one or both depending on what you prefer. Here is a video of the mount they developed for the Ford F150 - this is a great example of exactly what I would like to see them develop for our Lucids. The bracket for that truck can be used on both the driver and passenger side.
I reached out to them and they said they would be happy to develop mounts for our cars but would need a a Lucid in their shop for a day. They are in Milton, VT, so not exactly a major metropolitan area
"We are located in Milton, Vermont. I'm not sure but my guess would be the nearest Lucid dealer might be Montreal Canada or possibly Boston, Massachusetts. This is respectively a 3 and 4 hour drive from our facility which I believe is the reason we have not seen any around our area yet. If you wanted to reach out and someone was willing we would gladly cooperate with them. If anyone can leave the car with us for the day, they would receive the prototype mount and the head option of their choice installed in the car free of charge."
If a fellow owner in the NE is willing to bring their Lucid in for the day, you would receive the prototype mount and whichever head you wanted for the mount. I'm attaching pictures of two areas I think this mount would work great on both the driver and passenger side of the Lucid. If anyone is interested in donating your Lucid for getting this developed, PM me with your email and I'll introduce you in a reply email back and you can then get the visit scheduled.
I believe this will be a great solution for those of us looking to mount and possibly charge our phones. The only other thing I would look to do is direct-wire the MagSafe chargers to the fuse block under the glovebox. This would then give us a great solution!
Yes, extremely disappointed with the entire center console design and the very little engineering effort was put into the Port design and phone docks. What exists is not practical and limits the size of phone that can be used, and why there are two phone slots with only the driver's side having charging capability, this again is a huge issue for me given my wife is in the car with me and needs her phone charging whenever she is in the car.
Damn that's a beautiful and elegant solution, so much better than destroying trim with adhesives or putting things in dumb places by sticking them to a vent.Hi Everyone,

The point of the wedge is simply to make room for the iPhone MagSafe charging puck since the iPhone Pro Max does not fit well in the provided charging spot. At first, I just stuck the MagSafe puck directly to the wireless charging spot in the car, but the bottom of the phone would not clear the clip down at the bottom. So I created a small wedge as shown in the picture to solve that. It is mounted with 3M double-sided tape, so therefore it is completely removable without any alterations to the car itself. There have been several other models proposed here on the forum, some with a recess for the MagSafe and its wire and some that stick down into the original holder. I've printed them all but had the best of luck with this simpler approach (simple minds, simple pleasures). It allows the user to position the puck anywhere he wants. I positioned mine low (see photo) so the rolltop could close when the phone is in there. Others may position it higher so they can see the phone better.
Nice work. Those look cool.
