a car salesman is not usually going to be of help solving a charging issue, try calling the service number next time you have issues with charging

regardless of the cost differences, I only lease my EVs, I've taken too many "baths" with owning a few teslas, the rapid changes in tech can make an EV functionally obsolete in a flash and if you own the car you can get dinged hard, if you lease they are on the hook. I turned in my taycan 18...

every leasing company hires third party inspectors. the windshield charge is not unusual, but some of the other ticky tack charges are a bit egregious

while on trips that require l3 charges my goal is to arrive at that charger with as low of an SOC as possible. I can get my air gt up to 70% in about 20 minutes and almost always that will be enough to make it to another charger on the route I am taking.

without trying to antagonize you but your "facts" regarding charging are not very good.

topping off like this is not the best method for speedier charging while on road trips. there is a method that I employ that has served me well in multiple 1k+ mile trips. it is known as driving the bottom of the battery. doing this maxes out the charging speed and gets you back on the road...

FWIW: many manufacturers use third party inspection companies. Lucid "sells" the car to bank of america who is probably the driver of the return process. lucid is really out of the picture. what I am taking away is that when turning in the car you should make a video of the entire car and take...

wouldn't they be able to charge at the chargers that are replacing the tesla chargers? or am I missing something about universal?

why is the replacement of the tesla chargers a big concern for a lucid driver?

I guess that I am extremely lucky because in coming up on 18 months of driving my '23 air GT I have not had any issues that required any servicing, in fact I have done no servicing. the only thing that needed attention on the car is the tire pressures and windshield washer fluid filling. My...

if you drive in areas with poor roads avoid the low profile wheels and tires. they will always be prone to problems

can all of this be done in one visit? the closest service center to me is 140+ miles each way and I'd rather not have to make that trip twice.

if you pay the 8k for miles it is money down the drain. I was in the same situation once and I did buyout the lease and while I did loose a bit when I traded the car in it was not as much as I owed on the overage. the only with the lucid is that few if any other car dealership are willing to...

do you need to make an appointment to return the car? where do you bring the car for the turn in, service center or sales center?

they will ding you for the tinted windows as per the lucid website, you could consider having it removed prior to your returning the car.
