I've heard that Lucid went conservative on their charging curve for battery longevity. It isn't an awesome-shaped curve, but at least it's well above average in added miles per hour.

Take them out of the car, and use Simple Green with a scrub brush. Scrub thoroughly. Rinse off with a hose and hang in the sun to dry.

Yes, heavier internal conductors or connections. I've heard that the Lightning version meets UL temperature rise specs when charging for more than 3 hours at 125% of rated current. I assume from this that the non-lightning version does not. But I do not have any facts to back this up.

This one is a good choice, even though it has "lightning" branding. It's more capable than their regular "80 amp" TeslaTap: https://www.umc-j1772.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=17&product_id=174 In my experience, the condition of the sometimes-worn destination charging cord and cable...

I think an 80 amp adapter, like a Tesla Tap Mini, is a good idea on a long road trip. It may allow you to use a destination charger at a hotel, which is very handy, as it eliminates a charging stop. Lucid hasn't endorsed any adapter and has cautioned against their use.

I imagine that should have been a maximum of 9" ground clearance. Typically, SUVs with air suspension have a height adjustment range of four inches or less. Maybe 5-9" ground clearance range for the Gravity.

In 10 years, a car that doesn't have an app store will seem pretty out of date. Imagine if your phone came only with a fixed set of apps that the manufacturer had pre-chosen for you and would not allow substitutions.

More people will care about what's already there for most AAOS cars except Lucid's: native cloud synced Google Maps, Waze, calendar integration, YouTube music, ABRP. But it does help strengthen the ecosystem. More to do while charging. People don't complain about having the ability to run these...

You're right! I'd forgotten. Our other EV doesn't have geofencing, so I'd still rather have it in the charger, but this does solve my wishlist #3 for Lucid only households.

For 15 minutes after every power-on, you can reach the LCHCS by connecting your phone or laptop to it's internal setup WiFi SSID at 192.168.5.1, rather than your home's wifi.

Here are my top software wishlist items to improve Lucid's Connected Home Charging Station: 1) Fix this. It has been triggering my mild OCD for over a year: 2) Add a capability to reduce the changing current via software (Lucid phone app) to a value from 6 amps up to the limit set at...

Log into the LCHCS' home page within 15 minutes of power-on, and navigate here:

That's correct, there's currently no need to connect the LHCS to your home wifi if it is currently running Network FW version 01.01.25, and Safety FW version 02.14.51. You can check this by logging into the LCHCS' setup wifi within 15 minutes of power-on and finding the "maintenance" tab.

Let's make it 200,015,000.
