Yesterday, our adventure with the Lucid Air GT (range) began. I was driven 2 hours down to the Seattle Service Center by Lucid’s Lyft driver and was greeted by both the Service Center’s manager, Christine, and my DA, Zaid. Actually, the DA I have been interfacing with, Joshua, was off today, so he asked Zaid to work with me during the delivery. Just a brief shout out to Zaid because he was great: very patient, working closely with me as at times he had to repeat an instruction simply because this car is just so complex and complicated compared to what this old fart is used to. You younger “Gen whatevers” will have no problem because you grew up living with things that can be so complex compared to us “wiser ones”.
I spent over two hours there, crawling in, around, and under the vehicle. At times, Chrintine and I were lying on the floor, looking at the clearance of the aero tabs which are in front of the front wheels or inspecting the lift points where I may need to place the car jack, or pulling out the little right cubby in the truck so I could see where one of the 12V batteries was located (the other is located under the right, rear seat).
By the time we were through, I felt a lot more comfortable regarding my basic knowledge of the car. However, I will be spending much of today, sitting in the car which is now in our garage, playing with the various settings and features and getting everything just the way I like it. When it is your turn to pick up your car, you will be treated to a unique and wonderful experience. It is nothing like dealing with a traditional dealership.
