Having been in this situation before.... you can't tap the 12v because you can't open the trunk to get to it. Breaking a window would work. With the way the door lever pulls backwards to open, we were able to use the old coat hanger thing where you wedge behind the window and pull the lever back to get the front door open.
Tap the 12 v from the rear passenger wheel well pigtails.
This is an instance when the forum is more helpful than Lucid. I was at the car, trying to figure out what to do. I called Lucid CS, they took half an hour to answer. And when they did, the person told me he didn't know any way to get into an "offline" car.
So… in the event that the power fails, how does one open the doors from the outside? I don’t see how this is possible unless there’s a physical way to bypass the electronic lock, which seems insecure.

It's the cost of one key.
Dumb question from a new owner: after one has gotten to the pigtails, what's next?
Connect a 12V battery to the pigtails and power up the car.
And the lock to put it in, and mechanical linkage to the door mechanism, and assembly and adjustment time for those, plus logistics costs.
Yes
