Problems like this are nothing new, especially for a brand new company like Lucid. The warning message was gone from the car's screens though this one remained on the owner's linked phone. The battery read 100% and the Air could move backwards and forwards under its own power. Having reached 24% completion after about 20 minutes it stayed that way for another 40 minutes before the car once again displayed the error message pictured above.Īfter charging overnight all seemed normal with the car.

He received a call back from Lucid Customer Care telling him that the OTA team had put out another update for his vehicle which he initiated from the car. He was able to put the Air into drive and reverse inside the garage but didn't drive out for obvious reasons. The doors would now unlock and open but the error message remained on the screen inside. About an hour after opening the front doors the car's alarm became functional and the owner was able to silence it with the key fob. He then called Lucid's Customer Care line and was told that they would relay the issue to the OTA update team. Curiously the same method wouldn't work for the rear doors and they remained closed.
He ended up being able to open the trunk and climb through the rear of the car which allowed him to open the front doors via the interior door handles. Telling his story in the Lucid Owner's Forum, the owner relays that he came out to find his car "totally dead" and mentions that he couldn't open the doors with the key for or exterior door handles. Update 1.2.6 improves the functionality of the key fob, navigation systems, traffic sign recognition and improves the accuracy of range estimates among other minor improvements. Lucid's most recent OTA update is currently rolling out to owners in batches. We discussed the update with this owner and he wanted to make it clear that the car was able to move under its own power throughout the failed update event. After waiting for 3-4 hours for the update to complete the owner was able to see the dimly-lit warning message on his Lucid's screen once the garage it was parked in became dark enough.

The software update failed due to an as-yet undiagnosed problem causing the luxury electric sedan to shut down in some fairly major ways. deliveries of the new Grand Touring Performance model will begin in June.A Lucid Air owner received the ominous warning pictured above after initiating OTA update 1.2.6 recently. That model has begun shipping, Lucid said on Tuesday. The Grand Touring Performance is a higher-performance variant of the previously announced Lucid Air Grand Touring, which claims 819 horsepower. Tesla's Model S Plaid launched last year with 1,020-horsepower, EPA-estimated range of 396 miles, a starting price just over $130,000 - and a claimed zero to 60 time of 1.99 seconds. The new Air beats the highest-performing Tesla in most ways, but not in acceleration.
Acceleration of zero to 60 miles per hour in just 2.6 seconds, versus a claimed 2.5 seconds for the high-performance version of the Dream Edition.But the new Air's specs are still impressive: Performance adjustments to the Grand Touring Performance are a result of the supply-chain challenges that have hit nearly all automakers around the world.
