Yes. Tire pressure will only show after you've hit 20 mph, I believe. I think you can see the pressures on the app after you've driven (for a brief period), but they won't show if the car hasn't driven in a while.Hello all,
New Lucid owner here, just picked up the car this afternoon, loving the drive.
The tire pressure monitor on my android Lucid app is showing "--" for all four tires, is this normal?
It's just when the tires are warm; one way to get it there is to drive above 20mph. Sometimes when charging one or both of the front tires will show their tire pressure, heh, but there's a minimum temperature before it displays.Yes.

It seems illogical to not have tire pressure available while the car is parked. So I have to drive the car 20mph+ check the tire pressure while driving, then if low turn around, go home and add air. As a retired engineer that is poor design. Please updateIt's just when the tires are warm; one way to get it there is to drive above 20mph.

Without motion, the sensors can’t read. All they could do is give you the last known pressure. Which could be incredibly inaccurate if someone came up and slashed all your tires.It seems illogical to not have tire pressure available while the car is parked.

Sorry to say, but whoever developed the software to NOT show PSI when the car is parked and tires are cool has either never owned a car in their life, or they do not understand that PSI is most useful to owners when the tires are cool. If the PSI is low when cool, it is time to add some air. I've had my Lucid Air Dream Edition for 18 months now, and PSI has never shown a number. Why? Because while I'm driving, I'm not about to take my eyes off the road so I can open the app and check my PSI.Yes. Tire pressure will only show after you've hit 20 mph, I believe.

@Adnillien is spot on. The batteries in TPMS are not replaceable. By having the sensors only transmit when moving, the sensors last 5-10 years. Without the motion detection, you should be replacing TPMS sensors and activating them at least at each tire change.TPMS sensors have a motion detector in them to preserve battery life. The sensor turns on when the car moves at a good enough speed to trip the sensor and turn the TPMS on. Without this feature, the battery life of the sensor would be very short. I can just see everyone here complaining about the poor engineering because they had to replace their TPMS sensors every year at a cost of a few hundred dollars. That said the app could easily show the last known pressure whcih is likely a hot pressure rather than a cold pressure.
Wow, your first post for a new car, and it's a complaint.It seems illogical to not have tire pressure available while the car is parked.

My Porsche Panamera enabled you to put the tire pressure on the main screen under the speedometer reading, so you can see the tire pressure at all times(when moving) without having to take your eyes off the road to access it on the lower screen on the Lucid. It would be helpful if Lucid would allow a driver to have this reading to be on the upper screen if they so desire.It seems illogical to not have tire pressure available while the car is parked.

Most of the times, off by a couple of psi. Once in a while, yes. True for all domestic and imports I've owned.I wonder how many cars show accurate pressure while parked?
A rhetorical question. You sly devil. Depends on your definition of "while parked." The answer is YES, NO and depends on WHEN it was parked, how was it driven before parking, how long was ot parked, and where was it parked. I think the snapshot readings may be accurate but MAY not be useful.I wonder how many cars show accurate pressure while parked?
Bingo. Which is why you get a warning light when the pressure is dangerously low, but not a constant reading on your dash when the pressure is fine. It’s giving you the data you need to drive the car safely. Nothing more.My problem with internal TPMS is that people can read too much into the data. Its a GREAT AND POWERFUL warning device for a dangerous low pressure event: a leak or when you screw up and forget to fill up the tires. It is not a tire pressure gauge
You are preaching to the Saved here!!Bingo. Which is why you get a warning light when the pressure is dangerously low, but not a constant reading on your dash when the pressure is fine. It’s giving you the data you need to drive the car safely. Nothing more.
A lot of folks here seem to want their instrument clusters littered with reading material. Our eyes should be on the road. Electric car drivers need remarkably little information compared to ICE vehicles in order to be safe and informed. No oil pressure. RPM. Just battery percentage and speed, essentially.
It’s not a 747.
