RESOLVED Low Battery Message Error

[demian189]

Hey all, I’m new to the forums so my apologies if I’m posting in the wrong place.

The Lucid app on my iPhone notified me last night that there was an update, so I confirmed and went to bed. This morning, I got in the car and noticed this “Charge Now: Power reduced due to low battery” message on the car, which I found strange since I had ~240 miles before the update. I thought maybe the update had drained the battery, so I plugged in the charger, but after ten minutes of charging, the number of miles (0) still hadn’t gone up. I also saw that the battery icon was more than half full.

I reached out to support thru text, since there are no service centers near me, and they told me to reset the UI, which I did, and power cycle the car - Neither of which have worked.

Was wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar, and if so, how you resolved this. Thanks!

Call Service. They might be able to reset.

Have you tried a Nuke reset?

Thanks, all, for the help. I reached out to the care team for help and we were able to fix it. For anyone who experiences this error in the future, here’s what worked:

1. Go to Pilot Panel Settings > Vehicle > Tires
2. Tap on "Select Installed Tires"
3. Change to the 19" tires on both front and rear
4. exit the car and lock it, power cycling the car for 5 minutesUnlock and enter the car
Change back to the 20" tires

That is a bug with an interesting fix. I am glad your car is back to normal.

Yeah, that’s a new one for sure.

So do you have 19” tires and 20”” tires? Really trying to understand this one

Thank you! Definitely very interesting, not something I would ever have thought of haha

I have 20” tires, but in the settings, there’s an option to set what kind of tires are on the vehicle. So I switched the selected tires to 19”, power cycled for about 5 mins, and when I got back into the car, the message had disappeared. Then I just switched back to the 20” setting before driving. I had a hard time understanding this one too, but hey, it worked!

I just experienced this same issue. How do you power cycle if the vehicle is locked

Too bad you folk are too young to enjoy the satisfaction boomers got just by bashing a balky machine into compliance.

Physical violence worked on vending machines, televisions ... kicking a Volvo used to be a thing ... you can still see vintage Volvos with dents in the body work...those aren't accidental.

It got so Volvo bashing (not criticism -- not swearing-at ... kicking the car).... was such the rage that complete strangers would come up and thump a fender when they came upon a Volvo.

"I remember this spy novel from the early 70's, where the writer inadvertently started a trend called "Volvo Bashing", because his best-seller book's main character had a Volvo he hated, so he kicked and dented it whenever he could, and the damm thing kept running--not well mind you, but just enough, leaving him with no good reason to dump it. Volvos began appearing with horrible dents and smashed fenders and doors--intentional damage inflicted by the owners--damage that was not merely ignored, but worn as a badge of honorable disrespect towards the Swedes ( Saabs don't count). You'd be doing your neighbor a favor by killing his car--assuming you can."

If you exit the car, lock it and walk away for a period of time (seems 5 minutes from the solution posted), it seems to work. I am not sure of a way to power cycle other than letting it sleep and let things reset in that sleep.
