    Returning my Lease soon, a few questions

    I just had Openlane "inspect" my car. I asked the guy why they were doing it, and it really had nothing to do with you understanding what needed to be fixed prior to turn-in. They do it for a report they send out to potential auction houses so that if LFS does not want to keep the lease return...

    Buying your Air at lease-end

    New England, 2025 AT, 14800 miles. I believe they may be more aggressive on 23 or 24 models for buy-out since there a ton of them on Lucid site for sale. Will see if they get more creative closer to end date. My suggestion is don't even start the process until within 30 - 45 days as I am sure...

    Buying your Air at lease-end

    Quick update on lease buy-outs. Looks like BOA not currently interested in negotiating lease buy outs. Mine is up in 45 days and a LFS person called to see what I wanted to do. Told them if buy-out was more aligned with market value would seriously consider it. Put me on hold for 5 min and...

    Muffled audio on Bluetooth phone calls

    Here's hoping they finally fix the BT phone issues in the Air. Driving with a friend in my AT the other day and I had to make a call. Popped in my earbuds. He looked at me and said "seriously, in a $90k car" Not only embarrassing, but it's also actually illegal in many states to use earbuds...

    Aftermarket all weather mats for lucid air touring 2025?

    I have LinerX mats and really like how they look and work. Have not had any issues with being slippery when I wear leather soled shoes. I have a 2025 Air Touring. I ordered through their web site and experience was a good one. Got both front and rear floor mats and mat for rear trunk.

    Recall for Floormats…Unintended Acceleration

    I had this exact car. Audi tried to blame it on drivers not knowing which pedal was accelerator and which was the brake. As you might recall, they ended up installing the ever popular "shift-lock-brake" as retrofits to require driver to press on brake before putting into drive. Basically...
