Pro Tips
Vehicle towing and recovery methods
Lucid recommends using a flatbed truck equipped with a self-loading recovery dolly, tow eye, or tow strap for vehicle recovery. Directly attaching chains or hooks to vehicle components is not approved and may result in damage.
High-Speed Dolly
High-speed dolly systems support the vehicle's rear wheels, while a tow vehicle supports the front wheels. This method is recommended for short distances. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for use.
Self- Loading Recovery Dolly
Self-loading dolly systems allow winching a vehicle onto a flatbed carrier or rollback tow truck. They incorporate an attachment point for the winch cable directly to the dollies. Use this method when wheels are locked (e.g., due to power loss). Self-loading dollies support all wheels during winching to reduce the risk of vehicle damage. Ensure the vehicle remains on the dollies and is secured according to the dolly manufacturer's instructions.
Make sure to secure the vehicle onto the bed as per the dolly's manufacturer instructions , with the vehicle remaining on the dollies. See detailed instructions on lucid website.
Tow Eye/ Tow Strap
The tow eye or strap can only be used at the front of the vehicle, but has load limitations (13.9kN/1426kg/3100LBS) with vertical and horizontal angular limitations for the operation of the winch cable relative to the location of the tow eye strap attachment.
Transporting the Vehicle
WARNING: if the high-voltage battery pack has been damaged, punctured, or compromised, further flexing or structural twisting of the vehicle could lead to thermal runaway, fire, or re-ignition of the high voltage battery pack. If you know or suspect that the high voltage battery pack has been severely damaged, do not move the vehicle unless it is necessary for safety reasons to do so, and contact Lucid Customer Care. NOTE: all four wheels must remain off the ground when towing or transporting the vehicle.
Do NOT TOW THE VEHCILE WITH ANY OF ITS WHEELS ON THE GROUND.
Towing the vehicle with the wheels on the ground may cause serious damage to the vehicle
Towing device method
Use the towing device only for loading and unloading the vehicle to/from tow trucks or transports. Under no circumstances should the vehicle be towed by another vehicles along the road using the towing vehicle towing device. Doing so can lead to sudden device detachment, which may lead to vehicle damage, injury, or death.
WARNING : The towing device should not be used in situations where the winch cable load will exceed 13.9kN/ 1426KG/ 3100LBS. Exceeding these limits may cause failure of the towing device, which may lead to damage, serious injury, or death.
The vehicle includes a towing device in the trunk under the right-hand side access panel.
Opening the trunk - Option 1
It is necessary to connect an external 12-volt power source to access the tow eye before proceeding if the vehicle's low voltage power is disabled.
Option 1
Touch the 'Openings' icon at the top from the large center touchscreen. Then touch the trunk open icon on the lower right of the touchscreen.
Option 2
Push the trunk release button located above the rear license plate area.
Open the trunk and remove the towing device from the right-side trunk floor panel.
Remove the power source if an external power source was used to access the trunk, and secure the wiring before moving the vehicle to avoid damage.
Installing the towing device
WARNING: Improper towing device installation could result in the towing device detaching suddenly during vehicle winching. This may cause significant vehicle damage and could result in injury or death to anyone.
The attachment point is located on the front of the vehicle towards the left side. Release the rubber cover from the attachment point between the front grille.
Position the towing device through the bumper and rotate it clockwise into the attachment point on the body until it is fully seated. The towing device shaft should be parallel to the ground.
Organize Your Content
Implement a clear structure using HTML tags for headings (H1, H2, H3) and lists (<ul>, <ol>). This enhances readability and SEO. Leverage CSS for formatting to improve UX. Embed high-quality images, infographics, charts, and graphs. Use Framer for creating visuals and optimize them with alt text for SEO. Ensure they are mobile-responsive. Place keywords naturally within the content, especially in headings and subheadings. Optimize meta descriptions, image alt texts, and use internal and external links.
Pagination and SEO
Consider adding pagination for extensive content lists, enhancing performance by reducing load times and improving user experience by making large amounts of content more readable and navigable. Additionally, pagination benefits SEO by facilitating easier search engine crawling and reducing bounce rates. By selecting a list of content coming from the blog, you can click the blue plus icon at the bottom to add infinite scrolling or a load more button. If you add pagination with infinite scrolling, try to avoid positioning layouts like pivots and footers below the loading content. This will help minimize layout shifts, thus not harming SEO.
Monitor Performance
Utilize the built-in Framer analytics to track performance metrics and adjust content strategy based on data insights. By combining these best practices with technical best techniques, you can create a blog that not only engages and informs but also performs well in search rankings and user engagement. Happy blogging!
