I don't dispute that to repair that wheel should cost $200. Just look at that photo and see if you really think it NEEDS to be repaired to be saleable as a used car. Used cars, even from the manufacturer, or even CPO, are not necessarily cosmetically perfect and indistinguishable from a new...

Thank you. I've already filed a dispute with Lucid and having this info handy will help my case if they don't remove the charge from my bill.

Honestly, I'd have to say no. I had a '23 Touring and just turned it in and got a new '25 Touring. To be honest, I'd say there's a slight improvement in the UI, but not major at all. I don't think I'd have noticed it on my '25 if I never knew it was there. So given the time left on your...

Big boost in number of Pures for the first time since i started tracking it. Now that they've raised the price of Pure $5k, they seem to be cranking out a fresh bunch of them to try to rake in that extra margin. Guess there are still buyers at this price point. Disproves my theory that they...

I agree, especially given this very small surface blemish. Easy repair, likely just buffing it as it doesn't even appear to be even slightly deep. i'm just going by what it says on the sheet. Repair is an option but they wrote "replace". The right answer, in my view, would have been "ignore"...

Here’s my experience today. I’m a 2-time Air owner and Gravity reservation holder and this $200 fight and how I’ve been treated has had an outsized impact on how I feel about the brand going forward. Shortsighted, terrible brand damage, poor customer service…petty to the extreme.

does it matter if it's called a price increase or a lowered discount/? Result is that someone will now pay $5000 more for this vehicle than they would have the day before. Has nothing to do with the fictitious MSRP that no one has paid for a long long time. Don't see why this shouldn't be...

Good luck with that part. I'd put my recently returned (20 months) 2023 lease up against anyone's... perfect inside and out, i even had the floormats in untouched/never used condition in a bag since I was afraid of getting them dirty (santa cruz white color). Not a single door ding, windshield...

Just to follow-up on my own post, I just received a call from a manager at Lucid Financial, "Demetrius" who was very kind, patient, and sympathetic. He pulled up my inspection report and agreed the car was in excellent shape, but there was one VERY slight blemish on one wheel. I hadn't noticed...

I'm having a REMARKABLY similar experience. Turned in my 2023 Air Touring after end of my 18-month lease + 2-month extension, turned in on 6/9/25 when revised lease end date was 6/10/25. I was (barely) below my mileage limit. Car was 100% perfect, not a single door ding, no curb rash, video...

Agree, we'll have to wait and see what happens now. But there's a least a plausible scenario that Lucid is seeing the end of the $7500 tax credit at the end of this quarter and anticipating people rushing to get in ahead of this deadline and is raising the prices of some of their cars (Pure)...

If you bought/leased your Pure in June, you got the best deals, along with the better incentives then. Lucid made the Pure more expensive starting in July, not because they had Pures with more equipment or options, just raising the prices $5k on each existing cars in invenotry.

Last night, 2 more inventory Air Pures got the big price hikes also... big $5,000 increase in the price of these inventory cars. Not many Pures left for 2025, and Lucid's actually increasing the price on these, guessing perhaps that if someone is determined to buy a pure before the tax breaks...

Very true. Now's the time. Don't wait for the 2026s because with few if any changes and the big price increase due to tarrifs and EV tax credit elimination, the monthly payments are going to be dramatically higher for leases. As for my regular updates, they added one Air Grand Touring...
