I read a number of posts where individuals are having second thoughts. Given the tortuous path Lucid has been on regarding production and quality issues, I can not blame them. This is especially underscored by the various issues that others have raised with their delivered cars. While it certainly appears to me that Lucid has worked hard to address their production and QA issues resulting in great strides, the forum does present a number of individuals who are still having problems. This generates second thoughts with those who are frustrated by the time it take to get their car and may turn away potential clients who read this forum My suggestion to those who are rethinking their confirmed orders that they careful vet the alternatives they may be thinking about. Based on the vetting of a number of cars I have done, I have discovered that virtually all of the EVs that I looked into, even the ones that have been in production for while (i.e., Tesla), are having all different kinds of issues. Some issues appear across the model, other are specific to what apprears to be just a few of the cars of that model. Thus, the title of this thread: The Grass Is Always Greener...
Additionally, I would like to share this interesting new discovery. I just had my charger electrical line installed today and in discussion with the electrician, he shared a problem that is not talked about which is happening with various EVs. Apparently, given a fairly recent change at the Federal level, state fire codes have been modified to require that the newly installed 50 amp breakers include a GFI function. He said that this GFI on the breaker at times reacts with the GFI that is built into the mobile chargers which causes the breaker to be thrown. He has had to return to a number of installs that he or other electrians have done to create a work around. It this happends to any of you, talk to you installer to see what can be done.
