Starting to regret getting this car...

[Bunnylebowski]

Last night I went to my GT which is parked in the garage, and listened to music for an hour or so. Tidal ATMOS / Dolby Pro. I do this now that my "dedicated listening room" in the house is now a "living room". This is a feature of the lucid Air that is unknown by car reviewers. It's pretty fn amazing.

Spent some of the day loading my '22 GT for a beach vacation. I've loaded all the beach gear for 4 adults (4 beach chairs, two umbrellas, two tents, a beach cart, 2 skim boards and 2 belly boards = have about used about 16% of the cargo space so far...the funk and back seat are still empty, awaiting luggage and misc supplies. There is still room in the trunk. I'm going to "gas up" overnight to 100% on my home Lucid charger (first time I've gone all the way), even though I have free charging at EA until October. I want to see how the car performs now that it's "broken in". I got 4.40 mi/kWh yesterday doing the 40 mi out and return to Meeting. 21" summer rubber (44-45 psi).

My car battery is "old" now, so it's only good for ~ 460 miles on the summer tires. Darn. 96% capacity.

Calculated that I can drive the 100 miles to the shore, spend a week there, and drive back with about 50% soc.

I haven't had any problems with my car. I don't regret anything.

Yeah last week we drove with family to Cape Cod from Providence, stayed there for a week, drove around out there, then back home and I never needed to charge. I did however use the RangeXChange cable to charge my wife’s Volvo PHEV off my Lucid. And still made it home with 32%.

Carry the fob or phone as a key, not both. If you use the fob, use batteries that do not have a bitterant coating.

Your other door issues should be addressed by service.

In the Air and Gravity, Sirius XM is carries over the car's cellular connection, not Sirius' satellite connection. Lucid's cars do not have a satellite antenna.

But that bitterant coating tastes so good!

Just a few hours ago I did an out-and-return "down the shore" for a few days. It's about 100 miles to Ocean City, NJ from our area, which takes about 2 hrs depending on traffic. We went down to Stoned Harbor for dinner. I don't even know ... the wife wouldn;t let me speed but we left early ... I was cool with CC.

This is the first time I charged to 100% (at home) since i got the car 9/22. Came home with 30% . Speed limit is 65 on Atlantic City Expressway so I set CC for ~75 mph... got 3.75 mi / kWh on the 21" Summer Pirellis. We left at ~ 6:03 AM and I was in the water by 8:20 AM. I love S. Jersey.

There is a bank of 4 Charge Point right on 9st as you crossed the bridge. We stayed at the Flanders (recommended). We usually do day-trips and beach at the 34st bridge. Nicer beach. Hot Showers at 13 St. ,

4 Adults = beach chairs two umbrella two surfboards, all the beach stuff and food for 4 days, luggage. ... etc. ect. It all fit. Fun times!

Back in the day we would visit the Anchorage in Somers Point just by the bridge. 7 beers (pony glasses) for a buck. One night three of us had something like $34 worth of beer. Good times ....

Simple, don’t use key fob and phone key. Pick one.

It’s a brand new car company, what else did you expect? Toyota like reliability? These are easily fixed minor issues.

The problem is that there are people, myself included, who started carrying a fob because the phone connection was unreliable. And even if it works, I frequently get a message that it's not available as a mobile key because I walked past the car too many times. And there's no switch within the app to reenable it. And then there's the problem with the car refusing to wake up, making it impossible to unlock manually using the app.

I should be able to carry a fob, and people who carry a fob most likely have the app. And I doubt that even 1% of owners spend time reading forums, so telling people not to do with they do with any other car with an app is not a satisfying response. Lucid really needs to make things more reliable. Saying that because the app doesn't work reliably, I should disable using it as a key completely, is the last thing I'd want anybody tell anybody if I'm want to promote the car.

If it’s disabled all you need to do is press the door handle to re-enable it. No button in app needed. Helps save fantom drain a lot. Damned if they do damned if they don’,t lol.

App works reliably for me, never bring my key or card with me anymore at all. Mobile key has been flawless across 3 vehicles for me. I think people need to choose one, this is anecdotal, but as soon as I tried to carry the fob and mobile key the car wouldn’t open every time.

Also, pressing the door handle lightly seems to wake the car up for me. Hope this helps.
