USB-C PD is designed to bi-directional. Has anyone been able to charge their Lucid via the USB-C port?

They are not

Yeah, I put my phone in the car, using the USB-C connection in the console, with a 68% charge on the phone. Half an hour later, with the car off and locked, it was still at 68%.

When I first got the car I posted that there should be a 12V outlet available outside the car since it would make it easier to jump the 12v battery than the cockamamie junction located under the front wheel well. The 10 to 20 amps these can handle should be enough to Power the high voltage relays and unbrick a car with a dead 12v battery.

Could you use the 12volt outlet in the trunk? Granted you could get into the car…

How would you open the truck if the battery was dead?

Through the back seats if you could get the doors open.

And how do you get the doors open with a dead battery?

Someone needs to make a Bluetooth controlled capacitor based jumper that you can leave connected to the battery at all times. Battery goes dead capacitor gets trickled charged from residual energy and you use app to jump car. In an EV hopefully this would give you enough power to open the doors or trunk to get to the battery.

Love this idea

This is a joke, right?

Has to be.... USB C maxes out at 240 watts, but I guess you could get almost a 6KW charge a day.
