Thanks yes it makes sense! And based on this report. the first shop DEF fouled up. They didn’t even give me a report, which I understand is now standard. So problem solved, and thanks again everyone for the input!

I had never seen a report like that before, til my new & (hopefully!) improved shop provided one today. Is it that case that each make gets aligned a little differently? That is, will a Luckd service center have a better idea how to align a Lucid? Or is alignment kind of a generic process...

Haha no. Quite the opposite actually: my wife is always telling me to “step on it!” and she wonders why I bought such a high-performing car when I drive like a l’il old lady! 😅

My problem is the nearest service center is > 3 hours away. Each way. And not in a convenient area where I might be passing through sometime. This kind of stuff should easily be done at a local shop…It ain’t rocket surgery.

Yeah they said the same thing at the 2nd shop where I brought it to get it done right (hopefully). Looks like I’m done doing business with the first shop!

Brought my Air GT in for new tires since the rear ones were q-ball BALD after < 12,000 miles. Tire shop replaced the rear ones but said the car was too wide to fit on their alignment rack. Anyone else had this problem? So now I have to take it to a place that does vans & trucks to get it...

I stand by my bald tires comparison! 😅

And if that was the case, it would still drive straight and “feel fine?” Yes the Hudson Valley of NY gets cold. I’m waiting on the new tires (the shop had to order them) but I will definitely have questions for them!

Nah all 4 tires were new when I had Lucid swap out the 21s the car came with for the 19s I wanted.

What’s a rear toe?

Fronts look just fine. As you would expect them to look after 11k miles.

Got a flat tire yesterday. Pulled off the road and noticed BOTH rear tires are as bald as a q-ball after ~11,000 miles. WTF? I understand a car this heavy will go through tires faster than I’m used to, but I am not at all an aggressive driver, whipping it around corners etc. And anyway, the...

If we’ve learned anything from Lucid’s major competitor, it’s this: don’t put your faith and hopes into a guy. Put it in the company, its products and mission. Individuals tend to disappoint or, worse, betray the values you thought you were buying into when you bought their product. I’m only...

Rog. No I park outdoors and it’s gonna be COLD! af for the foreseeable. It stopped today but I suspect this will recur, so I’d like to know there’s a method of fixing it other than to wait potentially 8 or 10 days for it to sufficiently warm up. (This is my first winter with the car.) Thanks...

So, seriously: would a well-placed hair dryer on the hot setting fix this? Had the car washed today, and it’s happening to me too. Definitely don’t want to burn out a motor or gears with this. Thanks.
