I do not doubt that Lucid engineers can change this slow 400V compatibility issue if someone can authorize them.As an electrical engineer I stand by what I said as factually accurate. The wunderbox WAS made to boost low voltage charger or else that functionality would not exist. There is no other reason to have a step up transformer from 400v to 900v. When it was designed there were in Fact many 400v chargers in the wild. Porsche and Hyundai both had 400v boosters and even Hyundai had 100kw boosters now, Lucid has left theirs alone. I'm not here to bash Lucid, I'm just stating electrical facts. They could have easily upgraded the wunderbox...even for a added cost like Porsche does. They chose not to, so if Charging at Tesla is important for you, I do not recommend Lucid to people...Good news though is, there isnt that many people who view that as super important. But there are some.
It's the same way it can relocate all future Air and Pure charge ports to the back left.
Technically, those can be done. However, I doubt it will be done timely in a few years. Changing designs is expensive and takes time. Bringing a working design to production takes time.
It's not a technical issue. It's a resource issue.
