Lease return excess wear & tear

[fisheral]

It honestly makes me not want to drive the car for the remainder of my lease because I might get the tiniest nick and be charged $10k for it.

My other lease returns (Kia, VW, Mazda, Subaru, and Lexus) were so smooth and easy and they truly didn't give a shit about the small stuff.

May not ever lease again due to the possibility (which I never truly grasped before) of getting trapped and this happening on some future lease.

Why are you still acting like Lucid haven't done anything about this? People have reported their lease return being re-reviewed after Lucid put out a statement on this. Granted we don't know how those reviewed are going to turn out yet, but making it seems like nothing hasn't been done is a bit dishonest.

People are still worried, and while lucid may do something about this, who knows under what timeline and what kind of process it will look like. It's an unfortunate impediment to leasing- even if the re-reviewed every inspection its a burden on the consumer.
On the flip side with every lease there's always the risk of getting stuck with a bill, whether you lease another car or not, it's just another incentive to stay with the company. My inspector let me know that other car companies, like Volvo, have gotten stricter. So this may be permeating through the industry as costs continue to rise and incentives shift.

Umm, until people are turning in leases and NOT getting egregious bills for 10-20,000 dollars, and having to re-submit for review, then NO, nothing has been done about it outside their own internal disucssions.
It's not resolved until the lease turn-back processes are smooth, and fair.

What has Lucid done exactly outside of waiving one guy’s $200 wheel rash charge and the termination fee? Put out a statement? lol

Please read the last 10 pages of this thread. I hope the people whose lease are being reviewed will come back to post. @ButMahElectrons have you heard or seen anyone recently return his car and have the issues mentioned in this thread? That's how we are going to know if Lucid has done something or not.

It seems like they may have emailed some kind of a statement to certain people. The fact that I, as a leaseholder, never received that email does not fill me with confidence.

I understand your worries, but I can't imagine them fixing past lease return while screwing future ones. I believe the new improved return process and guidelines will naturally apply to all future returns, but like I said we will know soon enough if something have changed or not.

We shall see.

I have a PDF of the excess wear and tear guidelines from the website from before they changed them to be stricter.

No, but only because we don't know any other Lucid owners in person.
But I'm still following all the lease turn-back drama here and on Reddit and various media online.
It seems to still be going on. But I'll be monitoring.
IF they fix things, what will probably happen is news of sleazy turn-backs will go away. Because people rarely ever post about "good thing" happening.

Mine will go back immediately after I get a windshield chip fixed next week. Everything else on the pre- inspection was considered normal wear and tear. I'll keep this thread updated

For the record, this chip is the one I'm getting filled. It was quoted as needing a replacement at $1450... which is laughable to me.. and incredibly frustrating
