I am starting this thread just to try to restrict the topic to specific issues us early DE owners are having. Might be easier to sort and look for issues that others have mentioned here.
I mentioned after my 30 min test drive yesterday a few items that stood out more as "needs improvement" or totally unacceptable. There are a few other things that have since happened (in less than 24 hours unfortunately).
-We had our car locked, NOT charging/connected, in the garage at night. We woke up at 5:45am this morning to loud honking. Turns out the car was in a alarm/panic mode and sounded SUPER loud. I rushed for my keys and was able to click the fob twice to unlock the car and that did indeed stop the alarm. I have NO idea what caused it.
-Took the car out for another 30 min spin this morning. Stopped at a store and on returning to the car, wanted to put the shopping bags into the front/ frunk. Press and hold on the fob. Nothing. Tried it multiple times with no luck. Got in the car, tried using the panel button for the frunk release. Still nothing. On our way home I noticed the "door ajar" light is staying on even though the doors are all securely closed and locked. I am wondering if there is some issue with the frunk latch and the car now thinks it is stuck open but cannot reverse/close it. I am also wondering if for some random reason if this happened on its own in the middle of the night/early morning and if that was the cause of the alarm/panic to trigger (since the car thinks the frunk is open, when its not).
-Do not like the fact at all that we cannot access the rear trunk with the key fob.. The fob is shaped like a car just like tesla's so why not use similar functionality to open both front and rear? OR atleast come up with a fob button sequence to work with rear trunk.
-I mentioned the lack of button for accessing the homelink once car is in reverse mode since both screens take up camera mode. Would like to see an always there button for homelink.
-My delivery assistant/coach was confident that Lucid decided to "cancel" the mechanical door close/open option. He said all current cars getting delivered don't even have that motor in the doors while some of the earlier cars did. In fact the display car at the Palm Beach studio had the feature where you could just pull on the door latch while seated and the door would close all the way mechanically.
-Still waiting on a call from Lucid to help with Facial recognition.
-Phone as key is useless as stated by most everyone on the forum. I was walking around the house with my phone in pocket and got a notification on the phone. It was a lucid notification showing the app was running. I guess I was in a room in the house too close to the garage where the car was. Went to the garage and saw the car was unlocked. But when I DO want the car to unlock at a parking lot with my phone in my pocket and walking close to the car, it does not.
-I believe @hydbob mentioned that the lane departure warning in his car had suddenly started working after the last update. My car is on the 1.0.6 version and that option does NOT work currently. Hoping I get the OTA for the 1.0.7 soon.
I believe that is everything for my car currently. It drives so well that I am still able to live with these issues. But I do hope that the fix is coming...and very soon.
As of right now this is everything.
