    Do you imagine there is a saboteur at Lucid ?
    I've had 2.5 years of trouble-free experience, then suddenly: bricked.
    I'm seeing way too many foreboding posts. Now you too ??
    I was about to make an offer on a DE ... now having second thoughts.

    Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
    yet,

    Not all paranoids are wrong.

    I'm attributing these HV battery failures to the difficultly of engineering them. I had to have a battery pack and a rear drive unit replaced on our 2015 Tesla, and there have been widespread issues with Chevy Bolt, Porsche, and Hyundai/Kia battery packs.

    You'll get an 8 year / 100K warranty on the battery, and the Dream Edition is such a phenomenal car to drive and passengers find it so comfortable that I'm willing to live with the risks of so much new technology. But I do approach the purchase based on whether I think I'll get enough value for what I paid on the assumption that at the end of the warranty period it might have nothing but salvage value remaining.

    If you're comfortable with that kind of calculation, I'd say go for it.
