    2024 Lucid Air Touring — $22K Repair Estimate, Insurance Wants to Total It. Advice?

    If you don’t have agreed upon value insurance coverage I believe that it’s the insurance company’s call on the total loss settlement..my totaled 2023 AGT settlement was for my total purchase price plus taxes of $142000. Check your policy endorsements..

    Getting close to leasing a Gravity

    I may check with USAA but so far am quite happy with Cincinatti's rates and service.

    Getting close to leasing a Gravity

    I will lease a Gravity GT when I get a final decision on my Air GT damage/total loss with most options except not DD Pro for reasons I expressed elsewhere on the forum after four years with it in my Air GTs. A 36 month lease will be around $1,500/month including some money down. Given the...

    A Bit of Perspective From a Long-ish Term Owner

    When I said that Lucid is a driver's car and not a computer on wheels I also said that the OTAs improved it. The Air's dynamic capabilities are superior to all but the Taycan but it has many more attributes for everyday driving that the Taycan does not have. It is first and foremost a drivers's...

    A Bit of Perspective From a Long-ish Term Owner

    My 2022 AGT had multiple assembly and component shortfalls and less than a year after delivery Lucid volunteered to replace it with a similarly configured 2023 which it delivered in early 2024. I did not request a replacement. Lucid has been upfront with me and I have not once complained. They...

    A Bit of Perspective From a Long-ish Term Owner

    Bobby's recent post is comprehensive and instructive. OTA's have been amazing over the four years I have had an AGT. In a post a while ago I mused that Lucid will evolve without the every three or four year intervals between 911 updates without the additional cost and remain competitive and...

    Minor damage - more than meets the eye

    The first accidents I have ever had. I have driven my MB CL55, Audi A6, RS4, A8, BMW 650i convertible, Porsche GTSs, tracked and cruised for three years my factory ordered 991 Turbo S, and over three years in my lucid AGTs with no accidents, but yes I have had very bad luck with two rear end...

    Minor damage - more than meets the eye

    Thanks. It is Dorn's which leases space to a Lucid SC that has been terrific. Dorn's is 40 minutes from my house. Dorn's staff is also very good, as I went through a rear end collision resolution in June with my 2023 AGT that was totaled. The initial appraiser's estimate on it was ~$36k and...

    Minor damage - more than meets the eye

    Thanks to Andrew for the professional perspective. My 2025 AGT with 9,400 miles on it was hit in the middle lane of Rt 95 on clear sunny at noon Sunday Oct 4 in CT going about 50 mph in moderate traffic by an unlicensed driver of a 25 year old Corolla trying to pass on the right of a mini van in...

    Out of Spec roadtrips Gravity and DDP2 has some issues

    With all respect for those with DD Pro I have to share my experience. I am about to order a Gravity GT with DD2 Premium and Dynamic Handling. DD2 Premium has what i need. I have four years of experience with DD Pro in my AGTs. I have every confidence that Lucid will continue to improve DD Pro's...

    3.0 on Air

    I look forward to the enhanced navigation planning. This morning I tried to route myself around DC and NYC on the way to VT from VA and adding intermediate points caused it to revert to the original suggested route that took me to DC and the GW Bridge in NY. I do not have the OTA yet but hope it...

    Where is UX 3.0 for the Air?

    You may want get a rechargeable battery charger for your glove compartment for $40 and save getting stranded with a puncture. The tire may not hold air for long but usually it is long enough to get to a safe place. Obviously a sidewall tear requires a spare, which I suggest that you carry in the...

    It will be worth going to Brattleboro, VT's Ionna station when I go to VT next week, A slight detour on RT 9, which is a beautiful winding road on my way north to Vergennes so why not?
