    Lease Charges for Damage

    I think JosephMR is referring to the wheel rash warning that is in Driver Assistance...? This was introduced some time after the start of my lease.... :( I don't recall being offered any excess damage insurance at the start of my Lucid lease (April 2023, may have been introduced after that) - I...

    More phantom braking in the last month or so ...

    Thanks Mods! As I am English, I was wondering if breaking was an American spelling, since it was used by 3 separate posters!! ;)

    Lease Charges for Damage

    Getting another?! No way. F. Lucid - this lease end experience has turned me from a fanboy into a hater.

    Lease Charges for Damage

    So, with all due respect to one of our esteemed moderators(!), I disagree that the tire is unsafe. I did drive this car, and I drove my family about in it. As soon as that tire damage occurred (soon after I got the car) I went to the tire shop to get it replaced. Bear in mind the tire shop has...

    Lease Charges for Damage

    So, what you're saying is that Lucid are taking a similar approach to Tesla on lease returns. I'll just leave that out there.

    Lease Charges for Damage

    With respect, I am not required to redeliver an "as new" car. I am not selling the car back to lucid, I am concluding the period where I paid them (handsomely, as it was an early lease) to use the car. Therefore, regular wear and tear is allowed. I mention credit card size (for the scratch)...

    Lease Charges for Damage

    Just received my final invoice from my "friends" at LFS (attached (anonymized)). On redelivery one scratch (less than credit card size), one tire damaged (not requiring replacement according to my local tire shop) and one wheel with minor curb rash were noted by Lucid Millbrae. The bill is...

    ...and now, the end is near... - for my leased AT

    Hello friends. I did return my Lucid AT on Friday at Millbrae. Unfortunately, the experience was not positive. I will post something more complete about the process but the inspector, Allen, noted some damage that seems to me to be fair wear and tear. My protests about this were ignored and I...

    ...and now, the end is near... - for my leased AT

    Thanks for the good wishes! I recall in an earlier discussion you mentioned you had some experience of classifying small items as "normal wear and tear" on lease return. Do you have any hints and tips about that? Should I get a "pre-inspection" (before the lease return inspection) by an unbiased...

    ...and now, the end is near... - for my leased AT

    I asked about a lower buyout value, but my sales advisor said "That’s the price if you want to buy the car".
