Lucid Motors 4+

Car is slow to wake which means you spend some time before being able to use app. Biggest missing function is ability to program when you want the car to be at temperature and ready to go like Tesla and Ford Mach E does. Why I need to set a timer on my iPhone to remind me to do this in the morning when I leave for the office and to do it before driving home makes no sense. This would seem to be a minor tweak for the App but what do I know. Love the car regardless.

New to Lucid based on other previous reviews app has come a long way. Love the product, one of the best cars I’ve driven (not just EV) but software needs a few things to feel fully baked. Few things that need to be improved.
- Separate logins for additional driver profiles. This is a big one! Vehicle should recognize the driver profile based on the login and auto adjust all settings based on that.
-Mobile Key is ok, but still needs work, don’t need to have the vehicle unlock and lock every time I walk by it with my phone. Tap/touch of the door lock should unlock and wake it up.
-Charging notifications when charging at home. Don’t need them! Every morning when I wake up after charging overnight, I’ll have 20 notifications that the charging session is complete. Those are helpful when fast charging if you walk away from vehicle, but not while charging at home.
-Remote camera viewing capability
-Native Apple Music app. I’ve noticed The native app sound quality is MILES better than streaming from wireless CarPlay.
-I know this is a long shot and not fully related to the app, but Google Maps integration in the car’s navigation system. TomTom just can’t compete. I often find myself using the tiny CarPlay display for Google Maps because I can’t find my destination on the native Nav App. I’ve also been taken to the completely wrong address on multiple occasions, or taken on a completely silly route that makes no sense.

Even with the new app refresh, i am getting a horrible experience. More often than not the mobile key does not work. When it does work i am waiting for at least 30-60 secs before the car unlocks. Luckily i carry the key card around as I have been locked out of my car multiple times. The app itself takes FOREVER to wake the car up. Half of the time it doesnt even wake the car up. Now im dealing with the app crashing on start up. What a way to ruin the ownership experience.

just tried uninstalling the app and reinstalling. continues to crash on startup.

UPDATE: I had to restart phone in order for my app to load up again. Replicated same issue on another phone and fixed same way. uninstall app. restart phone.
