Drive System Fault Megathread

[Luciyan]

A month is too long. I'd give them another chance to do better - making it very clear that you're not happy.

I wanted to give them another chance but have now decided to proceed with lemon law.
The customer care won’t give me a call or explanation about whats going on with the car.
They had it for a month and every time I tried to follow on a monday I got an assurance that someone would call on Thursday to discuss and i never got any call.
The communication has been extremely poor.
How should I gain confidence in their repair if they explain me what they are fixing. Its a safety related issue. If it was door latch or some software thing I would have passed but getting stranded on a highway is just not acceptable.

I m having navigation issues on my other lucid air. It shows the car is parked in some remote area when its parked in my garage. Is that similar to ur geofencing issue?

Yes. And only intermittently.
I forgot what they replaced, but it was several communication items.

I took delivery of my Lucid Air Touring on December 16th. Aside from a squeaky steering wheel and the rear ventilation knob coming off (both of which were taken care of by the mobile tech), I hadn’t experienced any major issues — until a couple of weeks ago. That’s when I got a red warning message saying: “Drive system fault – contact customer service.” Lucid ended up towing the car on a flatbed to the Costa Mesa service center for further inspection.

It’s been about two weeks now, and I just received this update from my service advisor:

Did you any countdown on the screen? Some guy on reddit is saying there is a 2 minute countdown before the car comes to a stop.
I just remember mine stopping very soon after the warning. I dont think there was any countdown. It just slowed down and went from 75 to 50 to 10 pretty quick.

Does it show your car stuck at Lucid HQ? I had that issue. Service required to fix. Lost connection to GPS antenna.

It’s intermittent like the other guy. Would show 50-100 miles away from the actual place. Sometimes in pacific ocean too. I used to take screenshots but then it started happening so often that i gave up.

Another Drive System Fault here, car is completely offline stuck in a parking garage in Flushing NY. Customer service is MIA. I should have sold the car the last time this shit happened. God I'm an idiot for trusting this company again

I am sorry that u have to go through it.
Lucids are lemons.
I am pretty sure they are not reporting all the faulty VINs. I got a recall letter from Lucid 2 months ago but I dont see it being reported online.
