My 24 Pure (aluminum roof of course) has the suede/alcantera black headliner. My 26 Touring (also aluminum roof) loaner has the same Pur Luxe Black interior but has this cheap feeling and looking grey cloth headliner and pillars. Looking at available cars from lucid, it seems they’re all this way now.

When did this change happen? Or am I missing something?

That's not a good sign if Lucid are starting down the road of "decontenting".
 
I noticed this also, looking at models on the website last night. The interior headliners look to be a similar light grey material you'd find in a typical Camry now.
I'm not surprised, they are probably penny pinching everywhere, and they literally have Munro people in there now, value engineering things.
I also noticed many of the Air models don't even have the rear screen for climate control anymore. You have to go up into a package worth several thousand dollars (I forgot the name) or up to the Grand Touring.
Whereas my '23 Pure has the rear seat climate control.
 
I think it was 2025, they reduced the interior trims for Touring and Pure, only the full leather gets Alcantra headliners, Purluxe gets the white generic stuff. Also to make the GT look better (it's objectively the worst Air trim from a content and value perspective).

They have a gross margin of -105. At some point it has to be addressed.
 
See myriad stock price and "future of the brand" doom threads...then they make moves to address them and then they get dinged for it. This is more or less sums up the entirety of the internet.
