Rear Sunshade - Control from Driver Position

[HOOKED]

What is the method to control the rear sunshade from the driver seat?

“Alexa, raise / lower rear sunshade” works for me. I think you can do it on the pilot panel somewhere too.

Pilot Panel. Leftmost "car" tab. Tap the "openings" tab on the top. Shade is there.

from the manual:

From the Pilot Panel, select >

OPENINGS, and touch the

sunshade icon to raise or lower the

sunshade.

Thank you!

Does anyone know if it’s possible to do this from the app? Not seeing it.

No, you can't, at least at this point. Maybe in the future?

I wonder if you can command Alexa to lower it from outside the car?

I sent in a feature request for a setting to automatically raise sunshades when going in to P, and then have them return to what ever they were when driving.

That would add a lot of use cycles for some (most?) drivers. There are quite a few potential failure points in that type of mechanism. MTBF (mean time between failure) can be a bitch.

The rear sunshades automatically lower when you put the car in reverse if they're up.

I remember having an A6 at the time where the screen slid in and out of the dash every time you got in and out of the car. Looked cool but in the 3 years I had it, I had to get the mechanism replaced twice.

I’ve already had the pilot panel mechanism fail in the Lucid with minimal usage so yeah, if Lucid adds that feature to the shades I’ll be turning it off pronto.

Yes, but that is done for safety reasons, and it only happens when the shade is being used. Of the Lucids I've seen on the road and parked in Naples, I don't remember ever having seen one with the rear shade up, so I suspect the feature is not used by most Lucid drivers.

We did use the shade a fair bit during our recent road trip, but the upper cross bar which sits a bit below the top of the window interfered with the view of cars at a medium distance behind us. Using it in heavy interstate traffic actually made me a bit nervous. And it sits nowhere near the glass, so plenty of heat gets into the cabin. I suspect it's more useful from reducing direct sun on the backs of heads of rear seat passengers than for reducing total heat gain in the cabin.

Keep in mind many don't have the blinds feature.
