    Funky paint issue on Air trunk/decklid bottom (awaiting word from Lucid) but anyone else?

    If it's embedded that deep into the paint where the iron remover does not work, then a trip to the service center may be necessary for this to reviewed for coverage under the warranty. This symptom is documented in the warranty manual already, so Lucid knows this can happen.

    Funky paint issue on Air trunk/decklid bottom (awaiting word from Lucid) but anyone else?

    Looks to be Rail dust--Lucids are moved by train all over the country to get to their corresponding sales studio. An iron decon should be able to remove it. A commercially available product you could be an auto parts store or online would be this...

    Repair issues

    Recently, we have been receiving cracked/broken windshields / roof canopies from Lucid, which may increase the wait time. Casagrande is the only warehouse for the entire country at this time.

    Repair issues

    I'm probably the next closest shop to you across state lines, and I don't have wait times aside from Lucid shippping us parts. This job typically takes 4-5 days to complete. Not sure if it's worth it for you to drive that far though.

    Gravity Bottom Plastic Panel

    Never seen this happen, even in collision repair work I've done on Gravitys (over 20 now at this point). The plastic will rip before the bolts come out.

    Gravity Bottom Plastic Panel

    That panel is held on with 10 torx style bolts in that area (P00-F12ADG-00 is the part #).

    Damage to front

    I'm surprised the body shop didn't try to answer any of these questions for you (I'm assuming it's a Lucid certified shop). The black grille is $522.86, the lower platinum colored trim molding is $186.30, the undertray is $398.69, and the shutter system is $966.61. The bumper needs to come off...

    Your experiences on parts availability please...

    We are experiencing this as well, with many parts going on backorder for 2-4 weeks. Expedited shipping may be available for parts that are in stock, but the fees may be cost prohibitive.

    Reputable Repair Shows in Phoenix Area?

    You may want to ask your agent if you have the right to appraisal provision on your policy. It's not mandatory in Arizona on auto policies, so it's possible that Farmers does not offer that (it's that way in California). Raintree is likely familiar with this, but it is essentially a tool for a...

    Someone decided to drop an entire hvac trunk(?) on dumbarton bridge

    Figure on $4000-$6k to start, depending if the impact bar/air reservoir tank got damaged or not, it could go much higher.

    Buyer's beware of lucid and its fragile parts

    Paint film thickness on the sensor would affect the sonar signal, so it has to be remain thin.

    Sideswiped my garage door frame this morning. Insurance vs. Out-of-pocket + DFW shop recs?

    Same thing happened when the Model S came out. Again, I'm spit balling here based off your photos. If the aluminum is not cracked, it could potentially just be repaired and painted. Park Place should be able to assess this for you when stop by for a quote. If you think this is insane, your 911...

    Sideswiped my garage door frame this morning. Insurance vs. Out-of-pocket + DFW shop recs?

    Looks like Park Place is your closest Lucid certified shop in Dallas: I would replace that bumper cover if it were at my facility, which sells for around $1500 excluding labor, paint, and tax. Price typically ends up in the $4000 range. On a Lucid, the entire unibody is considered to be the...

    Paint Failure?

    Typical ceramic coatings are .02 to .08 mils (in comparison to clearcoat being 1.2 - 2.5 mils). I've yet to see a ceramic coating trigger that warning on all the cars we've done here.

    3mo to fix two six inch scratches?

    Although I can't speak on behalf of Dulles, I do know that the folks that run the CRN (collision repair network) for Lucid hold us to a very high standard, let alone with how challenging it is to even join the program. Did you speak to customer care at all? This type of complaint would route to...
