I second what Larry said about having the Lucid as your only vehicle, in this specific scenario. Please don’t misconstrue this statement as a criticism of Lucid; I love the car, but having a product from a new company , without a mature service network, does bring some unique challenges.
I live approximately 800 miles from the nearest service center and there is a single Lucid mobile tech that I rely on who covers a huge geographical area. I have reached out to service a couple of times about some minor issues, none of which rendered the car inoperable. There was initial frustration, as there was a significant delay to one of my inquiries, which required me to become more persistent in my communications with service. A Lucid mobile technician, James, did reach out to me, made the visit promptly, and diagnosed car issues easily; specifically a poorly fastened rear deck, and a defective back speaker. Since then, there has been a delay in getting parts, which, from reading these forums, seems to be a prevalent issue. That being said, James has been excellent with follow up communication.
It is my impression that the service team prioritizes issues that make the car inoperable ( as they should!!), when responding to service calls. For more minor issues, I think patience is required.
I use my car for almost all driving, but I do feel extra peace of mind knowing I have a back up vehicle in case my car is out of commission for a significant period of time or needs to be towed a long distance to a service center. I think if I lived in proximity to a service center, I would not be nearly as nervous about having a car as my only mode transportation.
I wholeheartedly recommend the vehicle. It is an absolute blast to drive, and even with the potential for hassles (very rare in my case).I have no regrets at all.
