2025 Lucid Air — service lifetime transmission fluid or leave it alone?

I'd want a measurement, not a hunch. Loaded-suspension checks on the 2025 Lucid Air catch play that a wheels-hanging inspection misses. You'll know quickly if you're on the wrong tree. That's the whole play. Trying not to diagnose from the couch.

It did service lifetime transmission fluid or leave it twice this week, both times after sitting. No change in mileage feel. Happens in gear, not in park, for what that's worth.

This is usually cheaper to test than to guess. Capture voltage while the 2025 Lucid Air is actually failing — after it restarts you've lost the clue. If the cheap test changes it, stop and reassess. This is from a 2025 Lucid Air in Chicago. I'd want that in writing, not as a promise. I'd rather look cautious in this thread than stuck later.

Intermittent stuff lies if you only catch it once. Get a real battery/charging test on the 2025 Lucid Air, not just resting voltage, before blaming a module. Save the big job until that test fails. On “service lifetime transmission fluid or leave it,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Had a similar mess a couple years ago and that's what finally sorted it. I'm in no rush to be a hero on it.

Log the conditions before you spend. Move a coil or plug on the 2025 Lucid Air if it's cylinder-specific and see whether the code follows. Save the big job until that test fails. On “service lifetime transmission fluid or leave it,” that was the fork that mattered for me. If they can't show the line item, I assume it's hiding. If your situation is the opposite, ignore me. Trying not to diagnose from the couch.

I wouldn't throw parts yet. Write temp, speed, and in-gear vs coast when the 2025 Lucid Air does it — then decide on parts. Save the big job until that test fails. If it doesn't change the out-the-door or the repair estimate, it's noise. No warning lights, which is why I'm documenting it.

Start with the test that can prove you wrong. Move a coil or plug on the 2025 Lucid Air if it's cylinder-specific and see whether the code follows. You'll know quickly if you're on the wrong tree. Take it or leave it — that's what I'd do. Worth doing even if the car feels fine right now. Wrote this up on my lunch break.

I'd want a measurement, not a hunch. Get a real battery/charging test on the 2025 Lucid Air, not just resting voltage, before blaming a module. If the cheap test changes it, stop and reassess. Not gospel, but it saved me a headache. I'm keeping receipts and dates in one folder.

This is usually cheaper to test than to guess. Two 2025 Lucid Airs can feel identical and have different causes, so measure before you copy someone else's repair. That's the branch I'd chase this week. If it doesn't change the out-the-door or the repair estimate, it's noise. I already checked the easy fluid levels.

This is usually cheaper to test than to guess. Two 2025 Lucid Airs can feel identical and have different causes, so measure before you copy someone else's repair. Don't erase codes until someone who can help has seen them. Had a similar mess a couple years ago and that's what finally sorted it. I'll poke at it this weekend.

Log the conditions before you spend. A pressure test beats staring at a dry driveway if the 2025 Lucid Air is losing coolant with no puddle. If the cheap test changes it, stop and reassess. On “service lifetime transmission fluid or leave it,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Not gospel, but it saved me a headache. That's my plan before I call anyone.

On “service lifetime transmission fluid or leave it,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Verbal 'we'll take care of it' is not a plan. I already checked the easy fluid levels.

On “service lifetime transmission fluid or leave it,” that was the fork that mattered for me. This is from a 2025 Lucid Air in Chicago. Do that first. Climate here is different, so treat that as a local data point. Doing the boring step first on purpose.

Start with the test that can prove you wrong. A pressure test beats staring at a dry driveway if the 2025 Lucid Air is losing coolant with no puddle. You'll know quickly if you're on the wrong tree. Verbal 'we'll take care of it' is not a plan. Video is ugly but it shows the hesitation.

OP update: scanned the 2025 Lucid Air again and still only have the one pending code, no new lights. Video is ugly but it shows the hesitation.
