When operating the button to move the seats forward to access the 3rd row, the seat is able to move forward far more than if you simply use the seat move forward/backward adjustment button. Using the adjustment button I’m unable to move the seats forward any further forward than in the picture.
I think the problems at Lucid are much deeper than we had thought. But I think they’re are more prevalent in newer models. It’s like something went wrong in 25-26 that wasn’t there in previous model years with good reputations.
up this thread, but my Air has been in service for 6 weeks this time alone. They can’t get parts. They don’t have a way to test app functionality with door locks (they literally asked me for my Lucid account credentials to try something at service with a techs phone!?!)
They say a child changes your life, but I’d argue the child seat changes it more
I also clearly see a trend of increased glitching over time, so I'm convinced there is some memory leak or some resource leak bogging down the software over time. I don't know when Gravity truly resets itself, maybe during update, but even that isn't guaranteed as software could save/restore data over update and some bad data could carry over. The reboot we do is just an infotainment reboot, it certainly is not a full reset as many issues persist over it. Beaty sleep is a much deeper reset, but could also be the source of problems if multiple subsystems get out of sync during sleep/wake cycles. I believe I see a good period for some time after an update, but then old glitches inevitably creep back again. Short sleep cycles seem to be problematic, when you walk around parked car with keyfob in the pocket and car cycles on/off every few minutes, there is a higher chance of some glitch popping up during next drive, IMO.
You can certainly install a kid this way, just make sure the belt tension doesn't cut off blood circulation
For a car seat yes. We were doing this. However now that my son is bigger and uses a booster seat, this is no longer an option. The only way to secure the booster to the car is via the LATCH anchors.
The latch anchors aren’t required unless it’s a rear facing child seat. The third row wasn’t made for rear facing seats, hence no latch anchors. Front facing and booster seats don’t need latch anchors. Booster seats would just be on the seat and with the child using the seatbelt. If you’re going for the safest method, I’d put my child in the 2nd row all the time if possible anyways. Safer there in case of a rear end collision.
My uneducated diagnosis is that the effectiveness of the OTA fixes seems to degrade over time. But you explained it much better.
Without the latch anchors, the seat will move around too much.
It’s a booster seat, its sole purpose is to raise the child up so the seat belt is in the correct position. Booster seats are not made to stay connected to the car like a car seat. The high back booster seats may have latches as an option. But, they are just that, optional. Backless boosters are just thrown on the seat. I use a high back booster for my son and I do utilize the 2nd row passenger seat latches. But, I don’t criticize Lucid for not putting latch points in the third row.
Yours was probably a rhetorical question, but my motto is "Well, just in case ... ".
