Known issues

High
NHTSA 24V-497 (July 2024) covers certain 2022-2023 Air vehicles. When a hardware communication fault is detected, the High Voltage Interlock software could disconnect the high-voltage contactors while the car is moving and cause a loss of drive power. Lucid released an over-the-air update on June 24, 2024.
Medium
NHTSA 23V-110 (February 2023) covers certain 2022-2023 Air vehicles. The contactor switches that send energy to the drive motors may open unexpectedly and cut power to the motors. Lucid Service Centers update the software and replace the contactors as necessary, free of charge.
Low
In an InsideEVs test on a 350 kW charger, a Dream Edition peaked at just over 300 kW at 6% charge and fell to 200 kW by 41% and 100 kW by 73%. Going from 20 to 80 percent took about 28 minutes.
Low
Capacity depends on trim and year. Lucid's spec sheets give the Grand Touring 117 kWh for 2025 and the Sapphire 118 kWh, both on 22 modules. The Touring (92 kWh, 18 modules) and Pure (84 kWh, 16 modules) carry smaller packs that charge at up to 250 kW.

How this pack ages (industry context)

Industry fleet aggregates: 2.3% average annual capacity loss across 22,700 EVs / 21 models (Geotab, 2026), and 95% range retention at 5 years on average across 30,000+ vehicles (Recurrent, 2026).

OEM warranty floor on this pack: 8 yr / 100k mi to 70% capacity.

Public per-pack degradation curves are not available for most models. Individual results vary materially with climate, charging behavior, and DC fast-charge frequency.
