New to Lucid – Charging Tips & Home Setup Advice?

Measure the diameter of the receptacle. If it's about 2.1 inches, it is definitely a fire hazard when used to charge an EV. The correctly rated receptacle is about 2.44 inches in diameter.
alright you and @borski I think are right I’ll get an electrician out here. I don’t mind frying a Tesla but I really like this Lucid ;)

It wouldn't be the car you'd fry - it would be your house on fire.
 
Pretty good speed from Wallbox 21 to 18 kw.

Well, Socktucker, sounds like the Forum’s expertise may have helped you out of a hot situation. 😉
Back to the original question— is it the consensus then that either a ChargePoint Home Flex or Wallbox Pulsar Plus are the best solutions for a 50 amp limited circuit?

Please see these for pros and cons of various models, from a well-respected reviewer.
 
LCHS with the current limiting has been great. I’m not sure anyone needs a secondary now.

Only thing I’m waiting for is a way to edit the current (amps) from the app. That would be helpful when away from home and want to start a charge.

Almost any other home EVSE will let you change the charging current and initiate a charging session remotely. You'd have to use the Lucid App to wake up your car once you did so, as the car won't wake up on its own for externally scheduled charging.
