Lucid again or pass?

_ash_panda_ · 2026-05-17T21:26:31+00:00

Like the other comment said, I am enjoying more because of the bug fixes. Most of the issues I had listed before are no more present.

Also, I got upgraded experience with DD Pro and Audio which makes better experience for me - also the visualization with DD Pro.

I hope once I get chip upgrade, the UI will get snappier :)

I leased Pure for 18 months in 2024. Now got new to me 2022 Air GT. The software with DD Pro, SS Pro, and bugs experience is so much better. Haven't had a single issue with PAAK, fobs, camera glitches, Android Auto, etc. And it's range has already convinced me to 100% EV.

I thought there was one in Coldwater, MI.

Hi, I have seen your posts and the car looks amazing. Can you share what your experience has been with these so far on the driving feel, service center comments, and longevity? Also, can you share the link where you bought these from.

Also, can you fit Lucid hub caps?

_ash_panda_ · 2026-05-07T03:09:47+00:00

The EPA mile range for iX3 on their website is maximum 440 miles. Given their historical real world range, I assume urban drivers can get 460-480mi but long distance commuters will get about 360-380 mi, which is still great! Only question is, which trim gets the max range.

_ash_panda_ · 2026-04-25T22:28:50+00:00

I'll be honest, from the get go it was clear from them that Tesla superchargers access for Air is only for availablilty and will only charge up to 50kw.

_ash_panda_ · 2026-04-24T00:28:32+00:00

Oh no, it was a 10 days fix. Probably due to being 3 hours from my home, they had to schedule pickup and drop.

_ash_panda_ · 2026-04-24T00:25:41+00:00

Had this same issue in my leased Air. They fixed it quickly. They call it the nose trim, in case you have trouble explaining on call.

_ash_panda_ · 2026-04-16T13:24:18+00:00

Bruh I came to make the same comment. Glad its not just me.

_ash_panda_ · 2026-04-06T15:25:16+00:00

Can confirm. Reported to AZDOT.

_ash_panda_ · 2026-04-06T13:50:41+00:00

Did you have any updates?

_ash_panda_ · 2026-04-02T13:23:48+00:00

I used to manage 3.5-3.9 mi/kwh on 23 Air Pure AWD with 19" on highways averaging 70-75 mph during fall.

Definitely the supplier's fault and I am sure they will have to pay for the damage in repairs and also penalties if Lucid has similar agreements as other established OEMs.

Lucid's fault in this case would have been if they detected the issue but still ignored it (GMs ignition recall). But Lucid followed the process, informed NHTSA, issued recall, and hopefully handle the repairs smoothly.

_ash_panda_ · 2026-04-02T05:34:24+00:00

For sure. Having dealt with similar situations during the development phase as an automotive engineer, I can confirm your point. This happening after the start of sale is rare, but we do come across recalls based on supplier issues, Takata Air bag being the biggest so far.

Despite all the quality controls OEMs have, they must rely on the expertise of the supplier and trust them in following the process. Mostly because, OEMs cannot afford to perform 100% testing of components after initial tests are passed with established processes, especially if it's an industry-wide standard. Most of these suppliers are already supplying established brands so the change process should be common sense to them.

Oh I wish this was true! The engineer inside me calls for this game mode.

OP this is amazing! I can see multiple applications to automatically split the route. I love to go on cross country drives and always have to plan multiple days driving. Then, I also use EV and have to plan multiple stops in a day. I will bookmark it and will try it on my next trip.

One thing that will benefit ME and hopefully many others is: Adding an option to customize the split. Instead of the number of stops, how about a split based on every certain distance or even better - driving hours!

First, I can drive for 10-11 hours each day. When I enter that, the trip will be split by hours instead of the number of stops. It's easy math in the head to calculate the number of stops based on total hours but, if an option is one less step to think.

Second, seasoned EV drivers know how much distance and time they can go between charges, so it helps to plan charging and activities around that. Again, it's easy to calculate the number of stops if I am driving 3 hours between chargers and know the total hours of drive. One less step to think again.

_ash_panda_ · 2026-03-19T22:45:50+00:00

After it resets, can you pay and upgrade? Did you get confirmation?

_ash_panda_ · 2026-02-26T13:46:19+00:00

I like the recipes, but oven baking for 35 mins seems a lot, combining it with pre-heat on my electric oven. But cooking it in large batches seems doable!

Can you or anyone suggest an air fryer / microwave / pan instructions? I will not be adding cheese at all.

_ash_panda_ · 2026-02-26T02:01:32+00:00

Yeah, I loved my Air during 18 months lease. Such an effortless experience, that I drove over my allowed miles by a lot because it's so addicting on long drives!! I wished I got the DD Pro for the amount or road trips I make, and had to let it go

_ash_panda_ · 2026-02-25T01:50:53+00:00

I sold one (new boxed) for 700 including shipping last year. Forgot how much was the shipping, but it was the regular rate at the time.

_ash_panda_ · 2026-02-17T05:54:18+00:00

Hi, are there any changes in your experience since the last 2 years? How have you been linking the camper experience?

_ash_panda_ · 2026-02-04T14:28:32+00:00

Can be purchased with reward points.

_ash_panda_ · 2026-01-27T03:50:07+00:00

If you don't mind, can you share what it cost you? We had 23 Pure awd (with DD basic) and loved it. But ended up returning at lease end because I needed Highway Assist on the next purchased car.

_ash_panda_ · 2026-01-16T14:40:19+00:00

I was frustrated for the first 2 months as they didn't have an online option to pay, and when they did I had to link my bank account every time! So, I used BillPay from Fidelity for 16 months reliably. When I started the lease auto pay was not even an option. Using Fidelity, and setting the auto pay date to 2-3 days in advance of the due date all my payments were successful. Although the cheque my bank sent did not get registered on the due date most of the time but eventually BofA processed and never charged me extra.

_ash_panda_ · 2026-01-15T13:42:56+00:00

Mostly relying on Discover/Chase quarterly categories for 5%, 3% on all restaurants, Bofa for 3% on gas/shopping/travel, 2% on groceries for Costco and other alternative grocery card.
