Roof rack plus single bike mount

[Demosthenes]

In case anyone was curious about them.

Easy to install, not bad looking, seem strong. I do notice some additional wind noise from above while driving though. Seems not to impact range.

Nice. Look perfectly integrated into the design.

https://store.lucidmotors.com/bike-mount/ This one. I'm wondering how noisy is it, also if it's easy to take it on/off. Thanks!

Is the one Lucid sells at their store https://store.lucidmotors.com/bike-mount/ ? I'm surprised that you didn't notice additional wind noise. Do you know how hard is it to take it on/off? I'm thinking taking them off before long road trips. Thanks!

I'd love it if I could figure a way to carry my ebikes with my Lucid but they weigh ~60lbs each and would need to be on a hitch

What has been the range hit with the cars mounted on the car?

Can you install just one of those roof rails instead of two?

Yes you can put just one if you like. I am not sure what it will accomplish though.

Not and attach a bike rack.... you need 2 support points.

Noticeably more wind noise at high speeds. Reasonably easy to install and de-install but still require basic tools.

I think the rack is rated to carry an ebike load, but I could be wrong.

Surprisingly, I’ve noticed no range hit at all. Have left them on for anywhere from city driving to 2k mile road trips.

Yes. They come as separate pieces.

Anyone use this for installing a Starlink device on their Lucid. Seems doable with these roof rails. People have done this kinda setup on other cars

instructions say max load is 75 kg/ 165 lbs

Hi - you seem to be one of the few people on the forum that has installed and used the Lucid roof racks without problems. Are you still happy with them? Ever mounted two bikes at same time? Thanks.

For what it's worth, I talked to a few of the higher-ups about this issue at an event. According to them, the reason there hasn't been another revision is because the vast majority of people have faced no issues with them. I haven't used them, so cannot speak from personal experience.

They did remark, however, that if you have a glass roof, they highly highly highly recommend getting it installed by service.

Most people must be using road bikes or only one bike... A single mountain bike may be doable, but two was not a pleasant experience.

I can't speak from experience; I've never tried it. Just relaying hearsay, that's all.
