It’s illegal for Rivian and Lucid to offer test drives in Washington. I’m not sure when this came into effect or when you had your test drive. I think the ban was fairly new in early 2023 when my wife and I went up to the Seattle studio intending to go out for a test drive and were told...

For Washingtonians willing to drive a little, the Lucid Seattle team does (or has done, anyway) test drive events in Portland. Just contact the Seattle studio and see what they have upcoming. Last year they were alternating monthly events in Idaho and Oregon.

Any other PNW owners receive an invite and planning to attend?

I got an email invitation yesterday inviting me to a "Lucid Learning Lessons" session on 24 April at the Seattle service & delivery center: "Our service center invites you to an owner’s clinic, Lucid Learning Lessons, where you can connect with other owners. Our dedicated experts will walk you...

Here in the Portland (Oregon) area, Lucids are still unicorns. Every few weeks I'm approached by someone who says some version of "Hey, I've heard about these things but never seen one in the wild ..." followed by a short Q&A about the car. I love getting the word out, but I am seriously hoping...

It’s certainly possible. The road noise would also be a function of the type of road surface being driven on while making the measurement, so maybe that comes into play …?

While my Touring was in the hands of Lucid service for the past couple of weeks, Lucid provided me with a new-ish (got it with like 500 miles on the odometer) Mercedes EQS450 4matic sedan as a loaner. For what it's worth, I thought I would record my observations. I drove the car about 800 miles...

When I was trying to decide between a Pure and a Touring some ten months ago, I came here and asked a similar question. People advised me to take the Touring. After quite a bit of soul-searching, I got the Touring. I've never, and I mean never, had a better vehicle. Take the plunge. You won't...

I get my Touring hand-washed every week. I'm sure they're sick of hearing me say what a beautiful car it is, but I still say it. Every time, because it is.

Most common interaction by far: "What kind of car is that?" "Lucid." "Who makes it?" Latest interaction: My wife had minor surgery three days ago. The hospital is in downtown Portland and has valet parking because parking in Portland generally sucks. Following her surgery and recovery, we...

They do! $10/month is much more palatable than $20/month for a service I will rarely use. I may need to re-think cancellation. Thanks for the heads-up!

Nope. Got no such thing. Have any other recent buyers received this offer? It would have been nice but it's not a huge deal. I'm about 90% sure I'm going to cancel my subscription after the 2-month trial period, and another month probably wouldn't affect that.

It sounds like our journeys were indeed the same. I am absolutely loving the Touring and am convinced it was the right choice. 100% would make the same choice again. My wife is having a hard time shutting me up about when we're going to take a road trip in it.

I didn't receive a code. Should I have?

I'm starting to wonder if each DA has a spiff budget for a car delivery. In our case, they flew my wife and me from Portland to Seattle (cost $500-ish) and provided the necessary Lyft rides in between (cost maybe another $100-ish). We got no other goodies: No wine, no caps, no t-shirts, no...
