Lucid problems and fixes

Every documented Air and Gravity problem with its fix: an official recall, a software update, Lucid guidance, or a workaround reported by the press. Saudi items come first.

Ask the assistant

Ask about your Lucid as you would ask a knowledgeable friend: a problem, an odd noise, a service center or a part. It answers from this site's pages first, names them, and keeps the conversation going.

Answers are automated and can be wrong. Anything not based on this site's pages is general guidance. For safety issues and serious faults, contact Lucid service directly. Chats are not saved.

Important before tinting the windshield

Tint film installation liquid can run down the base of the windshield into the electronics behind the dashboard. In a reported Lucid Air case (March 2025) the Lucid service center attributed an electrical failure to the tint and estimated about US$7,000 for the repair, outside the warranty.

  • Ask the shop to protect the base of the windshield and the dashboard with towels or a waterproof cover, use as little liquid as possible and soak it up as it runs.
  • Choose a shop that has tinted Lucids before, and agree in writing who pays for any damage.
  • If warnings or screen faults appear after the tint job, contact Lucid service (800 111 1030) and mention the tint.

Evidence: one press report of a single case; the Owner's Manual warns in general that liquids can damage electrical components. We found no Lucid bulletin on tinting and could not confirm a change on 2026 models. If you have a source, write to us. Details and sources
