Hi,

I live in Long Island not far from the Plainview Service Center, and the Manhasset showroom. Lucid has really piqued my interest in the last month or so and I am looking at leasing an Air Touring.

Can people who live in the area talk about their experience with getting (any extra deals out there?) and owning the car. Whatever you are willing to share would be helpful! I've read a lot on the forum, just looking to get a local perspective.

Thanks! Hope to officially join the club with a new Lucid in a few months!

I have a Pure. Got a good deal on a lease last June. Car isn't perfect, but is by far the best car I've had. If little software glitches annoy you, you may not be happy, but it you want a car that handles and drives well, you will be happy. Plainview has been easy to deal with when I've needed them. I would jump while the 7500 credit on leasing still exists. If you buy off the lot there are other discounts. If you use my code you will get yet another discount.

Use my referral link to buy the award-winning Lucid Air and get up to $1,250 vehicle discount or rebate

Hope to see you on the road shortly. Where on LI are you? I am in Port Washington

I have a DE. I find myself often using one word when describing my experience to others: transformative! The utter rush of the instant acceleration and torque is intoxicating. The balance of luxury, performance (both vehicle and charging), and range is the perfect sweet spot for me.

For example, the i7 and the Taycan were on our radar when shopping for our first EV. However, neither of those admittedly wonderful vehicles matched the overall stats and attributes of my Dream.

The range is really what astounds me. Yes, take the EPA readings with a grain of salt because, unless spirited driving is completely out of the question, you'll struggle to get those numbers. Either way, for me, it's an excellent road trip vehicle since it literally has business-class legroom in the back. How many EVs can be described as that?

Having the confidence knowing that, when the situation calls for quick acceleration, I have a vehicle that's second to very few, and almost none in the ICE category, is empowering (I also did mention intoxicating, right? LOL).

Oh, and the one-pedal driving EVs offer is really cool once you get a hang of it. If you're smart about it, you'll rarely, if ever, use your actual brakes. Check something else delayed/eliminated in the overall maintenance department!

The technology is almost there. It definitely lags behind Tesla, for example, due to them having had a significant head start. But I'll definitely trust Lucid's upcoming FSD over Tesla's due to Lucid having incorporated LiDAR as well as cameras to track objects. Light is not necessary. Will I ever trust it 100%? Probably not, but it already has the smoothest adaptive cruise control I've ever experienced, so there's that!

One final thought: we are blessed to have an Expedition, an M440iX convertible, and our DE. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy all three, and they have their individual uses, but we always find ourselves fighting over who takes the Lucid because it really is that...transformative!

Where are you located, since I'm also near the Plainview SC?
