Yeah, we will use the Navigator for road trips until Lucid sorts these issues out and Tesla opens their chargers so we don't have to depend on EA.
Yeah my lone road trip issue was the car surprise switching itself to Roll mode, but the car was still drivable and it was fixed after a deep reboot. Aside from that one glitch the car has been the best road trip vehicle.
That really sucks, sorry for the quick post delivery demise. When I experienced the unexpectedly slow acceleration problem, it weirdly fixed itself after driving for 5 minutes but then I was able to do a reboot anyway and the orange triangle went away. Does your valet card do anything if you hold it on the B pillar above the camera on the driver side? I’m sure the phone support had you try that but just checking.
Any update on your car? The details help us all anticipate and troubleshoot things in case it happens to us!
Lucid service reps arrived on time. They pulled two wires from the rear right wheel well and woke up the car. They could not run diagnostics because the car keeps going into deep sleep. The car is going back to Houston for full review. They believe it’s a 12V issue or an issue with the drive system. I’m waiting for a flatbed to come pick it up. I learned how to use a 12V battery to wake it up with the two battery wires from the rear wheel well. I was shown how to pop the drunk manually and where the tow hook is. Lucid does not have a tow mode and the car won’t do into neutral when there is a drive system fault. I should have a full report back from Houston in a few weeks. CA people have to fly out with the 12V volt to install it. They don’t have 12V DC people in Houston. I assume it will be a while until I see the car again.
Yet another 12V issue. Seems the CA folks are going to be busy flying around to fix peoples cars.
How do you pop the trunk manually? That's a good think to know, didn't know that was possible! Interestingly the most recent version of the manual says the car DOES have Tow truck mode and says it's in the Pilot Panel under Settings>Vehicle and turning Tow Truck Mode on. I wasn't aware this existed, maybe this is in an upcoming OTA? If the car's parking brake is stuck on and can't go into neutral then the vehicle can be damaged by being dragged onto the tow truck and Lucid's manual says the warranty doesn't cover any damages incurred from towing this way.
Yeah I’m really interested in how you pop the trunk manually as well.
It takes 2 people to manually open the frunk. Apparently opening the Frunk manually is a highly guarded secret for security reasons and is not easy but can be done. The Lucid tow mode only disables the alarms but does not work like the Tesla tow mode (which actually helps get the car on the flat bed with its drive wheels). The Lucid needs to be in neutral. When the drive system is disabled, the wheels need to be removed and the electronic brakes need to be released manually. Then the car can be placed on skates and positioned to be brought onto the trailer. There is a single tow hook on the left front of the car (with a slight angle). The car needs 2 tow hooks to safely be used to bring onto a flat bed. The car is getting towed 4 hours to Houston in the rain without a cover.
Lots to unpack here:
I assume it’s a future update just like Highway Assist, etc, which is already in the manual too.
I also went through a similar problem cause my drive system failed also they took 5 hours trying to tow it but thankfully lucid said they would cover all towing damages since they couldn't send anyone out to release the breaks.
