Setup Actions / Delivery Checklist

[SaratogaLefty]

I've posted earlier that my Dream P is now fully completed ("Fit and Finish" done) and will be shipping per my HA in "the coming days". Like others on this forum I have been waiting excitedly for my delivery, but also becoming anxious regarding the various problems others have been experiencing. I will be taking delivery at the MillBrae Center and I've started compiling a list of setup actions/concerns which I'm posting below. Please let me know any other things I should consider at delivery. Here is my current listing:

  • Key Card vs Key Fob vs Mobile App (iPhone) for Locking/Unlocking (all on person)
  • What does Valet need -Key fob or Key card?

Ok after reading a comment just posted, another question is "Is there a way to control the amount of time before the car goes to "sleep"?

Please let me know any other things I should consider at delivery. Here is my current listing:

Lucid Dream Setup Upon Pick Up​

Homelink instructions for setting up and how to setup “geofencing”

Turn off “Park Comfort Braking”

Set Upper Nav Screen to 3D and lower to 2D

Trunk rubber gasket

Trunk alignment and clearance at bottom

Key Card vs Key Fob vs Mobile App (Iphone) for Locking/Unlocking (all on person)

Window shades operation fully functional

Navigation Setup

Instructions for Hard and Soft Resets

License Plate attachment – proper screws and tightness

Leaving Car with Shop for PPF and Ceramic Coating – What do they need -Key fob or Key card

Siri Shortcuts on Lucid App

Setting up Profiles for Key Fob and Mobile Key

Mobile Key setup on Lucid App

Facial Recognition Profile Setup

Bluetooth operation for Apple Music and books on tape (not “Audible” app)

Remove Santa Monica floor mats and replace with temporary Motor Trend rubber mats purchased after recommendation by hydbob

When will Apple CarPlay be available?

Park comfort brake no longer exists. They just flat out removed it

Lower nav screen setting resets everytime you use it (or at least it does for me)

Key fob or card are fine. Both worked for my shop.


What are the motor trend mats?

 

[SaratogaLefty]

A while back hydbob recommended these inexpensive "Motor Trend" car Mats that can be purchased on Amazon for around $39 as I recall. I went ahead and bought them and they are sitting in my garage waiting for the car. He said only minor trimming required. Once WeatherTech stocks the proper mats I will most likely buy them unless Lucid comes out with a better set. The Motor Trend mats are just temporary.

Here is the link hydbob provided a while back:

Motor Trend 923-GR Gray FlexTough Contour Liners-Deep Dish Heavy Duty Rubber Floor Mats for Car SUV Truck & Van-All Weather Protection, Universal Trim https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01A1IJ678/ref=cm_sw_r_apanp_zkWXOY4BF7fy1

Grey color and yes Eureka Gold. The mats work great BTW, very little trimming necessary

Thanks, great list.

I'm personally going disable any active driver-assist intervention, at least for the next few months. I'm fine with beeps and other warnings, but not with a car with this level of software taking over; it seems to me the odds of it doing something wrong are higher than the odds of it making it safer. Current owners, maybe you can comment on this -- seems like most of you are using it anyway?

I'm also planning to make sure streaming services are set up with both profiles (Spotify and Tidal).

Other questions that forum members may know the answers to:

• Did they ever fix the issues with HomeLink and profiles (you need to set up HomeLink on every profile, and there's a max of 3 across all profiles)?
• What's the best way to listen to channels like the BBC, given the lack of satellite radio? SiriusXM app with Bluetooth? Does one of the built-in services provide this kind of thing?

They never fixed that homelink issue because it's an embedded security thing with Android Automotive.

Geofencing is automatic when you setup your homelink at the location for it.

I had a call with Lucid the other day asking for feedback. I emphatically told them that at every single delivery it is imperative that the customer take a drive with a Lucid rep to get accustomed to the car with someone who is knowledgeable.

Definitely ask and push for that prior to taking it home.

Also, check the frunk function. Open and close it multiple times and see if the action looks smooth. Do it from both inside the car and using the fob.

Okay all very good additions. They will be added to my list when I return from outing with my grandson later today.

This could be a good sticky thread for new deliveries.

That’s a good idea, with all of us in the first 4 batches waiting for our GTs being delivered within the next 4-8 weeks.

Ha ha, me too. Wife has been complaining and asking why we own stupid gray floor mats for a car we don’t even have yet. Of course, my DE is set to be delivered in the middle of a snowstorm on Wednesday so the mats will be important.

 

[SaratogaLefty]

No snow here but I hate seeing car mats that look dirty or worn out. I've always installed the WeatherTech mats in my last few cars and been very happy with them. Then when I sold the cars I put the still brand new original carpet mats back in the car.

Lol, I never even though to take out my original mats and just threw the MotorTrend ones on top. Maybe I should do that...

Yeah with the Weather Tech mats it just didn't make sense to put them on top of the original mats and I store the originals in a sealed plastic bag. Then when I put them back in for the resale there is still some "new car" smell the comes back.

The only item I might suggest is, since you are doing PPF, asking them if the installers should cutout holes for the sensors. Seems like this was never fully resolved.

Well I did speak with the Tech Leads at Millbrae a few weeks back and they did advise to have holes cut for the sensors. There are a number of owners here who have had PPF installed and I believe most have had the holes cut.

Yep definitely cut the holes
