I'm aware of the 50 kW limitation on charging on Tesla Superchargers. Is paying $220 for the Lucid brand adapter worth doing, just in case Tesla is the only game in town? Can Lucid remove the limitation in the future?
We are finally apart of the team ladies and gentlemen. Meet Black Ghost! 🙏🏽
see the title. I can understand the idea of systems 'breaking in,' but what exactly breaks in? is it just better at estimating range after 2000 miles? I'm really interested in the scientific explanation for this.
Anyone willing to share photos of how it fits?
Anyone ever seen this?
Navigation thinks I’m in the middle of Lake Michigan, doesn’t update location, reboot doesn’t do anything.
Disconnected all phones, no CarPlay (which screws up now BTW), etc.
Will vanquish enemies for a solution as I’m min 6 weeks out from service appointment
It is extremely disappointing to write this post . I leased a brand new Lucid Gravity 2026 in March of this year. I was super excited .
April 11 - the car's display lit up like a christmas tree - throwing all kinds of alerts:
* Drive with caution - Stability Control Unavailable
* DreamDrive Limited - Schedule Service
* Drive with caution - Speed limited to 35mph
* Use Brakes to Hold - Vehicle Hold Error, Schedule Service
The car got towed to the MIlbrae Service center where it sat for ~2 weeks due to backlog. Lucid thankfully provided me with a rental initially and then with a loaner Air.
When the technician finally got to the car - they found a fault relating to the inverter of the front drive unit. This fault shows an internal failure that will require a replacement of the hardware. Turns out this fault is actually caused due to a software bug - which is supposed to be fixed in release 3.6 ( ETA unknown ) . The car got returned back to me with a note saying:
Client notified that car may lose power due to DSW reappearing during wait for new software.
This past Sunday ( May 17 ) the issue popped up again - where the drive train lost power and speed got limited again.
I opened a case with Lucid to buyback the car and get me out of a fundamentally broken car . 11 calendar days, multiple emails later they have not the decency to even respond. So much so for "compromise nothing". Only thing you compromise on is the safety of the passengers and your loved ones when you purchase/lease this car.. Way to go Lucid.. Way to go!!
Thinking of buying pure air. I have been using Tesla without the physical card and only using the Tesla app. How does it compare it to lucid, do I need to keep the physical key with me or is the app enough to operate the car.
Parts of the screen aren't showing up when I start the car. Always have to do a soft reset. It says there's an update so I was hoping that would fix the issues, but the dumbass car won't connect to wifi. Even after connecting manually several times. Connected with my phone and in the car.
Piece of shit car and car company.
I was one of the people who got their Gravity after 3.5.1 update and was disappointed that both of my keys had awful performance almost right away. No matter the amount of battery replacements and resets they were working max 50% of the time. Walk away locking was mainly me needing to use the app and I have to be standing next to my door for the handle to pop out. Sometimes it wouldn’t even pop out and pressing unlock didn’t work, at times I had to press unlock a bunch of times and even then over 30s delay or wouldn’t work at all.
Well, finally had my mobile tech appointment and they mentioned they had firmware that wasn’t OTA to try. But they also noticed that my keys were earlier hardware revision. Apparently the new one fixes buttons getting stuck (never had that) along other things they don’t know about. They replaced both of my keys. Since then, omg… it’s perfect. Car actually unlocks if I walk to the trunk, no odd locking as I’m next to it behavior. Locking and unlocking in general is very good and handles present themselves before I even walk to the driver door.
Don’t know if it will help others, but wanted to share.
Anyone tint the full length of the glass canopy windshield (Including the overhead glass areas)? May you share photos? Lucid advised me NOT to tint it due to water sensitive electronics around the area but now that summer is coming along, i dont think i can stand if anymore lol.
For those who did get windshield tint, did you guys ever have any electronics problems? How did you handle it? Did your tinter pay for the electronic replacements/repairs?
Thanks in advance!
Love my Lucid GT, but I cannot recommend it to anyone because of small issues like these. I had it for a week and I’m about to go on a long road trip later this weekend so I’ll post my detailed review about the car next week. In the meanwhile, has anybody encountered this issue? How do I fix it? The third row has passengers with whom I’ve driven over 100 miles and they are buckled up. So all seems to be normal except this error.
Hey everyone, does anyone have reccomendations for all weather floor mats in a 2023 Air GT that has the velcro floor mat attachments and not posts? I dont want black as my interior is Tahoe and it would look aweful. Cant raw dog carpet as I live on a farm ....
I currently have the air gt all weather mats and while they are nice they do slip and slide all over the place which isnt good. Is there perhaps a way to after market install the posts at least for the drivers side? Does lucid provide them as parts you can order?
This is my 5th EV. Started with a new 21 Model Y LR (white exterior, black interior, still have it). Loved it so much I bought a used 2020 Model S LR (wrapped metallic color shifting red exterior, cream interior, still loved it) in late 22. Had to move, and thought then a Model X would be better (it wasn't, red exterior, wood trim, cream leather interior), and sold the Model S for a 2016 Model X with SC01 and EAP. Paid the Model X off over 12 months, and gave it to my parents, so I got a used 2020 Porsche Taycan Turbo S at 78k miles (Carmine red exterior, red interior, white Mission E wheels). It's a great car, but it doesn't make great use of space, and therefore, it's a drag on my golf game because I use a carry bag and an electric push cart. Decided now (March 26) was a good time to get a used Air due to extra looming gas prices pushing EV prices up, and found a used 22 AGT at Cars and Bids for $48k (first time bidding, probably made some mistakes with maximizing value). Luckily, the car is less than 50 miles away, and I picked it up by driving to it. 33k miles on it. Red zenith and Tahoe interior. Didn't care about exterior color (I have enough red cars), but wanted the interior color. I actually don't care about the white top, but don't care enough to reject it.
First impressions, car key fobs didn't work, even after I swapped out batteries. Some trims were falling apart, such as the rubber cushions on the soft-close doors. The rear trunk lid has a gap to the rear ( like a huge underbite). Rear vents make a whirring noise when on. The charging port looks misaligned. Managed to find some used forged 20'' wheels (Forged one competition for Model S/X) to replace the stock 21'' aero blades. Scratched up the calipers just a little bit (Thought 40mm offset would be enough for 37.5mm offset requirement, nope, goes inward instead of outward, and even with 5mm spacers installed), and had 245/45R20 tires instead because of stock. Rear wheels fit fine, no issues. Can't make hard left turns without scratching, but dreamy to drive. Made some new mistakes with spacers and ultimately went with Mishimoto 10mm hub-centric spacers (Tesla bolt pattern: 5x120, 64.1mm) from Amazon, along with 245/40R20 tires. Now it drives well. Definitely firmed it up with more feel on the steering wheel, even though it's only a little bit smaller in cushion. Switching to forged wheels absolutely made a big difference in driving: the weight, smaller diameter, and acceleration and deceleration feel faster and lighter. Range actually took a small hit due to poor aero. If you want a luxury floaty muted feel, better to go with 19'' wheels. I just feel that the handling of 21'' doesn't warrant the upcharge that you can get elsewhere with custom forged wheels.
Service: Fast response to email the Lucid team to get the digital key working (1-2 days). The app doesn't work for service, but is called and scheduled by a human, which was nice. Took over a month for the first appointment (San Jose area), and another week and a half after drop off to do the work (2 days). They offered a courtesy vehicle, but I had the Porsche and didn't need it. When I test drove it with a tech, he said he came from Rivian, and that the Lucid tech and build quality were much better. Can't agree or disagree, as I haven't driven a Rivian yet. They misread what I needed (wanted an extra key card instead of a key fob) and ended up giving me 3 key fobs for free (still under warranty). Did a battery diagnostic at 95%. Pretty good with low degradation; they say it's normally 2%/yr (due to lack of supercharging). Also gave me a key card for free. I did the CCCv2 install: $700 in parts, $250 in labor. Ironically, I feel like I have more bugs now with the CCV2, but it is fast, and the Google API is nice. Fixed the soft-close doors. Bought the frunk and trunk as well. All in all, a great experience with service. Feel bad about reading the service in Pennsylvania, definitely not the experience I had. The transaction took longer than expected (the finance system was down), so expect to stay in longer than expected. They also didn't install the spacers for me( which wouldn't have worked anyway).
Comparison: with the Turbo S, it had Porsche carbon ceramic brakes (PCCB), 21-inch E wheels (forged), PTV+, PDCC, Burmester surround sound, and a ski bag that the used dealer shorted me. It's a better-built car in terms of trimming. They know cars, they know handling, and they know racing. There are some holdovers from an ICE (button power on), some lack of usable space, but their mission is racing, and that function takes priority over their form. It's not much space in comparison to the car class, but in the mindset of a Porsche guy whose grail is probably the 911 (not me currently), it's a massive upgrade in space and daily-ability. The massive reduction in unsprung weight really improves handling. But it feels like a car. Operates like a car. The Lucid feels more like a space. A luxury space. I drove 3 people (6'3''in front, 5'3'', 5'?'') and they all complimented on how nice the car is. In comparison, I can barely fit my Sunday golf bag in the Taycan. No way on the electric push cart. Space on the Taycan feels cramped, with a focus on driving. That's neither a feature nor a bug; it's just the philosophy of how Porsche build cars, to be driver focused at the expense of everything else. And it doesn't even have a heated steering wheel or adaptive cruise control (Porsche's nickel-and-diming). Lucid AGT has great luxury features and good materials, but the build quality isn't as good (one of their first cars after the Dream Edition). I think if you're a true racer/driver who loves to go to the track, then you should go with the Taycan with the huge upcharge. If you're anything other than that, it's better to go with the Lucid.
Comparison: the Model Y/S has better software, period. Less bugs ( still have bugs) and better integrated phone app, even on the 16 Model X. I mostly got used to EAP as opposed to FSD, and feel that the AGT is good enough for that (especially with the 2.9 update), except when there are times on the highway where it says it can't do that. I now realize the Model S was a better fit for me than the Model X I had, and the Lucid fits more into that Model S mold. The hatchback was more useful. I actually didn't really notice anything glaringly bad in terms of build quality about the S/X/Y. The earlier models were made with real leather, and the Model Y is adequate for driving. I loved that I could throw my carry bag in the Model X frunk (driver and woods out separately). But I do like that in the Air, I can also chuck the carry bag horizontally in the trunk without worrying about my driver and woods breaking. The frunk is awesome, can fit my electric push cart in it. I can't fit 2 dog crates (M and L) with the rear seats folded down, so I just left the seats up to fit them in.
Additional comments: I bought the range X change, and it's awesome to be able to charge the Model Y and Porsche with it. 10/10 recommend. You would theoretically be able to help stranded EV drivers get enough charge back to a station. The OEM sun shades are unnecessarily heavy, and I don't feel like they reflect more light; rather, they absorb it. They're hot to the touch every time I pull them off. The mesh shades are great, keep the car cooler, and you can see through (marginally). The main drink holders don't make a lot of sense, too small and tight. I wish there were a 12V adapter in the front. I got used to the small steering wheel on the Taycan, and now wish the steering wheel on the Lucid were smaller and had better controls. I liked the customizable dash interfaces on the Taycan and Model S/X, and I wish Lucid could do the same. But ultimately, I still like the car, loved the service, saw the vision Lucid was attempting, and want to continue supporting them to see their ongoing improvements and future upward trajectory.

After installing 2.9.0 on my Air Touring, I couldn't get the iOS app to recognize the car as being online until I *deleted and reinstalled* the phone app. Logging out and in was not enough. Hope this spares other owners the headache I had.
Sure Lucid, this is totally normal for a sophisticated, modern product in 2026.

Just got my shiny new ‘26 Air GT a few days ago! App is running well, mobile key paired, etc.
Coming from other cars with mobile keys, some with UWB, I’m used to just having the app running and walking up to the car and having the passive unlock/lock work with just my phone.
That doesn’t seem to work… is it not available on the Air? It works perfectly when I have the fob with me, but today I had to move the car at home so I could wash it, but only had my phone on me. The only way I could get it to unlock and lock was by using the shortcuts in the app itself.
Am I missing something? iPhone 17 for reference if that matters 🤷🏼♂️
If Lucid abandons their initial promise to DDpro buyers of gradual updates towards FSD, what are the chances we just skip the bullshit corporate runaround do it ourselves with https://comma.ai/vehicles?
I'm absolutely loving this car! I purchased the car on Friday and am having a blast with my '24 Touring. I found a great example in the right color combo with minimal options. I wanted my Air "lighter" and simpler for reliability. I completed its first detailed job today. It has good paint quality and I was able to remove a number of scratches without issue from the red metallic. I did a complete clay bar job followed by polish, and full ceramic coating. It now looks as good as it drives!
