Seriously thinking of invoking lemon law on this car… love the car but most of the time so far, car is in shop for major issues.. will wait max till Wednesday
It’s frustrating. My Jag I Pace was at the dealer for 7 weeks waiting for a front drive unit. Finally arrived and it’s back. I did speak to a lemon law attorney here in CA and unfortunately a long wait to fix a problem does not qualify. The law is based on a car being non-repairable after a “reasonable” amount of attempts, not time.
4 times yesterday. Did left turn signal reset each time to cure it. Going to do key card reset proactively and report issue to Lucid to see if it's going to keep happening. Pretty scary huh ?
First time about 4 miles from home on local road it happened as you describe: slowing for a traffic light there was a jerk, the the dash lit up. Fixed on reset. Then happened three more times inside a mile, each time fixed with reset. Otherwise car seems completely fine.
Problem is now I don't trust the car and will not dare take it on a highway. I'm trying to imagine it happening in the Lincoln Tunnel on one of our frequent trips to NY. We'll just exit the car and do a reset?
I'm actually relieved to hear others have seen this. You don't want to be the only one with a catastrophic issue.
As frightening as it was...the worst part was all the Teslas that seemed to appear as I'm stranded in the middle of an intersection unable to move the car...in the rain of course.
A bunch of us have had the disappointment and frustration of early adopters. It's good to come here and vent. pretty much it goes "issue issue issue but I love the car". I have a lot of patience for love.

What is happening yo your car is not normal and not good. I would not drive it wither. Report it to customer care and they will get it into a service center. Please do not post this same story in multiple threads, it does not add any new information. Please do let us know how Customer Care and service respond, but please do so only in one thread.
Good software would have put up a notice on the pilot screen to that effect, not just refuse to do the operation silently...
I have reported similar "silent failures/refusals" to customer support on other issues too...
the software team needs to learn to consider that there is ultimately a human being they are serving here!

Isn't there a thirty day alternative rule for California lemon law?
I agree, but it was listed in the patch notes. I think there is some degree of responsibility for the owner to read that as well, especially for updates which actually contain information in the notes!
Perhaps, but I am not aware of it.

Please get this checked out by service ASAP, and please limit your posting of a single issue to a single thread. The “dumping” of posting your issue on every thread that may or may not be relevant is something we’d like to avoid on the forum as it clutters conversation and confuses.

Buying and Maintaining a Car
Buying and Maintaining a Car Buying a car – whether new or used – is one of the biggest purchases we make. It is important to take your time in deciding which car to buy and not be pressured by anyone who simply wants your money or your signature on a contract. Once you decide on the vehicle...
oag.ca.gov
Scroll down and you will see the thirty day requirement.
Note...I am not recommending you do so...I am merely letting you know.
They don't get that out... cars willbe delivered woth that software on place, non-owners will drive cars, cars will be sold... etc. Etc. Etc...

Finally got car back with drive train replaced…
Seems exact cause was not known to service team but engineering team thought heat caused the drive train failure…
Keeping fingers crossed for no more faults

Car on freeway. Speed limit displays 65 mph.
Car exits freeway.
The 65 mph display will not change until the car sees a speed limit sign 1 mile further down the road.
Now the display will be 40 mph, or whatever the sign is.
Is this normal behavior?

It shows you the limit based off reading signs not your GPS location so it'll stay in whatever sign it reads last.
I've also had it read a "minimum speed" sign's value and thought it was the current speed limit (as I recall it was somewhere on I-95 in the SE US). Recent SW updates may have addressed this (as this was back in early Nov 2022... still waiting to get our car back from the body shop, sigh).
Thanks for the explanation.
It's good to know the limit of the functionality. I need to pay more attention to the actual environment.
