    Damage from an entry gate, $20,000 repair!!! (local certified Lucid shop.)

    Damage from an entry gate, $20,000 repair!!! (local certified Lucid shop.)

Here in Florida, we...

    Thanks for the response - I did call Lucid, it was their customer service number. I explained what had taken place & essentially was dismissed to 2 options: Travel over 2 hours away to another Lucid certified body shop for comparison OR 2nd option - Welcome to the world of luxury cars ?????
