Is anyone having issues with heat transmission through their cabin canopy.
#Lucid air car windows#
I have light tint on the back windows only. A/C did a got job of cooling at first, and seat air flow helped a little, but it was struggling during the 45 min trip home. Got in and outside temp was 104 and car was hot. Went out today and the car was in the sun for 3+ hours. I’ve had a couple of long stints sitting in cell phone lots at the airport in bright sunshine and have stayed perfectly comfortable without having to touch the A/C controls. However, with no air flow over the glass canopy, it did get hot to the touch while sitting, and that required us to crank the fan speed up a bit to stay comfortable.īack home in south Florida, where the temperatures tend to stay in the 90’s this time of year, we have no problem at all keeping the car comfortable, rain or shine. Our car has no aftermarket glass tinting, and we were perfectly comfortable.Įven sitting at an EA charging station in Columbia, SC in 103-degree heat, the A/C kept the car comfortable. We were in bright sunshine for much of our recent road trip and saw 108 degrees on one leg through South Carolina. Again, not Phoenix, and not multiple days on end over 100, but my small sample has made me happy thus far. My car is parked outside for 8 hours a day while I’m out working, and garaged at home.

I don’t live in Phoenix, and rarely see the temps that you see, but I have regularly been in the 90s lately and up to 106 yesterday tinted all around and A/C no where close to full and was completely fine. I do have full tint, and as of today windshield tint
On my drive home, fan speed ranged from 5-7 and I was comfortable. That would be sooo nice in this Texas heat while going from one store to another on weekends.ġ06 currently at my house. Also the feature where it can maintain the temp for 45 minutes.
Maybe precooling is the trick we can use to ensure the car stays cool. I did open the sunroof and all windows prior to getting in. Just took my ICE around the corner like half a mile and the car was standing in 104 degrees and was cool by the time I had reached my destination. At 10 and temp set to 60, we could not feel much air circulating.

Plus the vent angles are not great for directing on your face.ĭoes the Heating work? My experience here with the car is similar. You have to put the fan on high which is somewhat noisy to get enough cool air on hot days. However, it doesn’t appear to get better while driving. It is bad enough that I try not to get in to the car without precooling. I started the A/C 15 minutes ago and the interior temperature is 85F.ĭriving doesn’t appear to help. My best guess is that it’s another trade off between performance and battery life. I think it should cool much faster than it does. Is this consistent with everybody else’s experience, or (hopefully) a problem with my car?
I was told that it is blowing cool air and working fine. The car was towed to the Chicago service center to investigate. It is to the point that I pretty much have to precool it using the app (and we know how well that works). The car takes 10+ minutes to cool down, if not longer. It does blow cool air, but not very strongly. The air conditioner is pretty lack luster. I have had a DE for about 3 months in the Chicago area. There are a number of threads in the Lucid Owners Forums, I can’t link to them all but here are select quotes from the forum threads I found.Ĭhicago resident (not too hot there now): So I assume this is something Lucid Motors can fix on some Lucid Air EVs with an over the air update? Owner Feedback on Heat and Cooling Issues I should note, that in version 1.2.5 of the Lucid Air software, they did state improvements to the air conditioning. The bigger issue is the time it takes for the Lucid Air to cool off when turned on or when you select to pre-condition the Lucid Air to cool off before you enter the car. But that is not the big issue, most cars get super hot when parked and not running. I have seen a nice number of complaints where Lucid Air owners are saying that inside the Lucid Air cabin gets way too hot when parked outside in the sun. As the summer approaches in the United States and we see more and more Lucid Air owners come to the forums and talk about their experience with the Lucid Air, I am seeing more and more complaints about heat and air conditioning issues with the new EV.
