I already have a ChargePoint Flex unit that I use for my Leaf. It’s set at 40 amps on a 50amp circuit with a NEMA 14-50 plug. It can schedule charging and can be controlled by the app like the Lucid Home Charging Station. At a max of 9.6kW, it is more than the Leaf can use, but only half of the AGT max. I doubt if I will need to charge the Air more than once a week so this unit should be able to do double duty.

I do want the Lucid charger unit eventually, but ONLY if I can really do bidirectional charging with it.

After reading this thread and thinking about it I may have ours installed in-between our parking spots in the garage. Even with 21" I'd only need to charge once a week. Lucid is real slow on the bi-directional unit and it may not be ready by next summer.

An overhead install would be the best solution, since there's no standard on port location.

Unless you want the Lucid wall charger, you won't have to buy a home charger. The Lucid comes with a charging cable and connector for a FEMA 14-50 plug. All you have to do is have a "dryer plug" on a 50-amp line installed, which you would need anyway for a third-party charger.

I've seen products and videos for ceiling mounted Tesla charger with retracting cable. I guess the decision will have to be made about this potential for home back up. My concern here is they are saying run 100 amp circuit. That's only enough to run a few circuits but not a whole house? Just may go for UPS and Kohler generator. Because, what happens when you aren't home...

@hmp10 I think you mean NEMA 14-50.

I think you're right. Sorry for the typo. Just paid my flood insurance and had the acronym stuck in my mind.
