Ordering and Delivery: Lucid Air Grand Touring

Expectations .... that's all. Throwing in a towel is subjective .. And while you 'researched' about my order & VIN, you would see I was flexible about my options .. and pick up ...
Respectfully, receiving a VIN in a month may be a record on the forum and far exceeding anything Lucid advertised when you confirmed. You are very lucky on that. I don’t see why any vehicle should go to you before any other just because you’re open to any combination. Each of us are just one fish in the ocean. Hope you get your Air soon but let’s keep it in perspective ;)

100% I agree ... Not disputing, never disputed that ... As a matter of fact, I feel bad/felt bad as well that I got the call & then only came to know thru' these threads others with a similar build did not get their VINs. I 100% feel negative about that; roles reversed; I would not be pleased.

My observation was communication, or lack of thereof ... which dove tails & lines up to your statement ... the other clients should have got the call. If they can set expectations, plus/minus say 2 weeks, and stick by it, I think all of us would be more understanding. (I did write that Lucid must be as frustrated internally as we are, since idle cars don't make money and they must eager to get these in our hands immly.)

I don't know why I got the call. How Lucid makes these decisions to call one vs another. Is it location based? I don't know. What are their criteria. Etc ... I tried to make sense of it and ... failed. My observation. Nothing more.

I was lucky to get the call and I'm thankful, really, for it. But it will mean zilch, if they don't follow up to that call and push delivery to say end Q3/early Q4. Then, it does not make any sense in picking a car that was not my first choice, if I had to wait anyway for 3~5 months.

AW yes it is perspective ... and at the end of the day it is a car. :).

Just out of curiosity, what was your first choice?

Quick Q: What motivated you to move to the higher trim? Meaning which of the two factors, earlier availability OR better range, was the primary reason?

(IMO, the rest of the options - color, dreamdrive, etc ... ) are inconsequential right now.)
 
Long time lurker on the forum, thanks everyone for the useful information we can’t seem to get directly from Lucid.
Air GT, Grey, Santa Cruz, 19”, confirmed Dec 14th. Been waiting for VIN since mid April (“week to 10 days”). Now that I’ve seen order same day as mine delivered, might as well run the experiment and see whether joining the forum improves delivery timeline.

Welcome, added you to the tracker, so expect a call tomorrow from Lucid that your car is ready. :p
 
Wow if I post here will my 20” wheels show up before 2023?
 
I'm with RecLucid, if this is magic trick here we go:
AIr GT, Quantum Gary, Mohave, 19's
confirmed 3/27/2022
no VIN... was told "in a week or so" on 5/20
I was given my gray GT VIN on May 13th, with a 2-6 week delivery timeframe. Now on week 10 with no tangible update. Hope you have better luck...

I really like/need the higher range of the GT, but was reluctant to upgrade because I wanted a steel roof. After driving the GT in hot, 90+ weather I decided the glass canopy was OK. If it does get too hot, I'm convinced a ceramic tint will fix the issue

I upgraded on 5/27. I liked the mirror caps, considered the greater power and range of the GT to be like buying the AMG version of the car. confirmed order on 6/2, call with DA on 6/30 and VIN on 7/15

You got the VIN already?
