What would you like to see from the Lucid mobile app?

Imagine this has already been mentioned, but just in case….
‘Reset car while driving.’
My 2017 MS had it: push two buttons on the steering wheel.
I certainly used it. A lot.
In all, EVs are computers with wheels (and batteries).
Software is still an art, not yet a Science.
Resets are inevitable, they need to be easy and accessible.
This is mobile app feature desire thread…

(But I do agree with reset feature inside car.)
 
Not going to lie, I wouldn’t have bought this car if it had a start button. The car waking up from opening the app doesn’t really equate to the car “starting” either. That’s what happens after you press the pedal. The app just has to wake up and communicate with the modem systems (which is usually always on to some extent and receives an SMS notification to leave deep sleep modes).

The software needs the ability to go into a night rider/undercover/starry night mode. It’s astounding that you can’t manually turn off the external lighting if you wish to.
Don't get hung up on "start button", everything else you said appears to be equivalent to what I said... and at the heart of it, you need some way to communicate "intent" (to drive vs to do something else), simply moving the car out of park is equivalent to a "start button", but it takes time (second in a good case) to go from a cold processor to a fully running op sys (especially a distributed one such as this). At the heart of it, we are saying "don't assume I am here to drive" and "you need a way to signal intent/purpose rather than assuming the most power consumptive one".
 
Not particularly App tied, but I’m unsure if the car has proper UWB + BLE + NFC support baked in, and if Lucid is working on a MiFi certification for Apple CardKey support… but seriously would loooove to see that.

I was told:
- a dead battery fob uses RFID (pull the battery & its used like a keycard)
- live fob is BT
- keycard is NFC (no idea why dead fob & keycard don't use the same)

Based on the FCC compliance section of the owners manaul, there is no UWB.
 
Probably asked here, but are there plans to allow friend (3p) access for driving through the app? I believe with the Rivians you can loan someone your car with an access code. Would be nice for all kinds of reasons. Esp if you had kids and you wanted them to run out and grab something from the car or you could see that it was locked through the app.

Great concept.

For now, give them key fob, and remotely unlock car if he has issue getting in.

Good artists copy, great artists steal? In the early-ish days of Android (4.0/Ice Cream Sandwich), Apple didn't hesitate to rip off UI improvements (wifi, flashlight, bluetooth etc in the drop down menu)... No reason Lucid shouldn't culturally be doing the same. Both companies can learn from each other and innovate beyond what Tesla does, ie Rivian copying dog mode, sentry mode, etc. See key sharing here:
 
Ability to make a specific EA charging station as favorite and get push notifications in case a charger becomes available

Given the latest news most of us got, for the rest of 2022 and most of 2023 Rivian could hire a live Quartet to play sounds for you at this point since planned deliveries are limited to a handful of folks..

(sorry .. just venting ... @#!# :mad:)
 
Make a tap on the charging port icon open the door if it's closed and close it if it's open.
 
I would like a summon type feature for pulling the vehicle out in tight spaces.
 
I think that's already there unless I am misunderstanding your request
You're right. I was thinking it only opened the door because I never used it to close the door—it would just close on its own— until it started staying open recently after charging. I guess whatever bug that's keeping the door from closing automatically is also disabling this function on the app.
 
The Lucid app still feels pretty basic. I didn’t go through all 16 pages of comments on this thread, so I am guessing some of these points are already brought up by others.

Improvements needed

1. Show the latest software version of the car. I don’t think it shows. Or may be I am missing.

2. Remotely warm up or cool down the car interior and seats/steering.

3. Allow the car to be backed out or parked in - into a tight parking space while standing outside. Really really helpful feature on Tesla Summon.

4. Set up charging time. I am sure many have mentioned it. Electricity is usually cheapest after midnight.

The above will be a few good starting points. There are plenty more. :-)

You can already do remote climate but no seats or steering wheel. Everything else applies though.
 
One other thing the mobile app should do is integrate with the iOS, so we can send an address to the car directly from Google Maps. Super helpful feature where if someone sends us a Google map pin, we can send directly to the car so we can use car’s navigation.

Both Tesla and Mercedes have this simple functionality - as well as, I am sure many other car brands. Lucid should also implement it.
