I did not... probably not necessary either.My delivery host did not link the key card to any profile. Is this something that should have been done? We did link the key fob, phones and facial recognition to our profiles.

Oh actually maybe the cards don’t link to profiles . I can’t remember. I’ll have to check. They call them valet cards so I don’t think they are meant to be used as everyday keys.My delivery host did not link the key card to any profile. Is this something that should have been done?

same was told to me; so why having a valet card then? And with fob, the valet attendant will have access to all your personal belongings in trunk/frunk and glovebox. For a car at this price point this should be a standard feature. All luxury cars have some kind of valet mode where attendants are restricted from accessing these areas of the car.Just took delivery today and asked my Delivery Advisor about the card and valet. He actually said the Fob was what should be given to a valet, not the card.
That’s what I’ve always did. Too complicated to explain how to open and then start the car. I view the card as a backup in case something else doesn’t work. I don’t keep real valuables in my car when I hand it to a valet.Just took delivery today and asked my Delivery Advisor about the card and valet.

Say what? Really?I don’t believe I even got a key card when I picked up my card. I just use my phone and don’t carry the key fob with me, but am anxious I may need to valet and be without an option.
For my Tesla, I always keep the valet card in my wallet and it works great when needed. Was hoping Lucid would be similar, but it sounds like it is not.
You should have gotten two key cards with your car. They’re in a little black container.Say what? Really?
Didn't they give you a nice block box where your fobs were? The key cards are in a black envelope in that black lined box which makes it difficult to see the black envelope. If you can't find it in the box, then call customer care about getting cards.I don’t believe I even got a key card when I picked up my card.

Hokey pokey?...put you right foot in and take your right foot out...
very helpful...
Totally missed it, but found now! Thanks!Didn't they give you a nice block box where your fobs were? The key cards are in a black envelope in that black lined box which makes it difficult to see the black envelope. If you can't find it in the box, then call customer care about getting cards.
Like the rest of us, hydro bob hasn't read the user's manual either. If the user manual were useful it would be a book, not another damn indecipherable phone icon. Those photos are so so so helpful. Oh, and now that I see the photo : who knew our Lucids have a flux capacitor !curiously the manual doesn’t show how to start the car and actually says you have to enter the PIN if you want to drive with just the valet card.
Sometimes, manufacturers or all stripes, kinds and sectors offer innovations that aim to improve nothing. These key cards or retracting door handles are two examples. Why? is the big question. "drag coefficent" is often the bright-eyed answer. Or "why not?" is the smug answer.My question is how would a valet or car wash person know how to do that?
If you need to valet, do yourself a favor and use the fob. It's one of the downsides of owning an EV, IMO. Valet card is just a key card and should only be used as a way to enter the vehicle if the other methods don't work.Sometimes, manufacturers or all stripes, kinds and sectors offer innovations that aim to improve nothing.

I wonder what one loses by leaving a convention, approchable and intuitive door handle in its place? In the case of this valet card, how does the valet know that he has to do touch it just so? Where does he hang this 'key' on his board where he hangs all other keys? Do I owe him a bigger tip because he had to figure all this out while I walked away on my way to the Legal Seafood and he reminds me when I come back and ask for the car?
