Lucid is making a big mistake by keeping a closed service center model without allowing independent shops to provide maintenance or repairs (e.g., access to parts). With their lack of investment into their ability to adequately service their vehicles, Lucid will be unsuccessful. In good...

Holy crap… I have to say that I was thoroughly entertained with the craziness. An impressive show of engineering for sure.

Totally understand this. Early on, someone hit my car leaving what looked like relatively minor scratches on my front left bumper. Those scratches amounted to about $19k in damage.

If I recall correctly, the negative is black whereas the positive is green. That should do it for you!

The wheels and tires are now sold. Thanks everyone.

For those in the Boston area: I am selling a complete Lucid Air 19" tire and wheel package with stock Pirelli Sottozero3 winter tires, sensors, aero inserts, and center caps. $800 for the entire set. I am moving to Florida and will not need them anymore. These have been gently used and you...

I was met with a bit of an annoyance today: I popped the frunk lid and it caught on the front trim which seems to have cracked a fastener. Now it’s sticking out. 😑 Has this happened to anyone else recently? Is it an easy fix for the SC or mobile tech? Hopefully they have some availability to...

Still so impressed by the Sapphire. Engineering that just can't be beat.

I completely agree. They need to realize the "gravity" of their current situation and the long-lasting impact it will have on the confidence of current owners and potential buyers.

I really like the new electric M3 concept. Definitely on my radar screen as my next vehicle after my Lucid lease. Though light on technical details, I'm definitely interested in what 4 motors and the Neue Klasse platform bring to the table for efficiency and dynamics.

I press the door handles frequently to wake up the car. I do that perhaps 25% of the time the car doesn't present the door handles when I approach carrying both the fob and my phone.

Even the Natick SC here in MA is backed up for over a month for appointments. :(

Ever since I was once locked out for like 5 minutes from my car in a parking structure, I now carry all 3. However, the car remains flaky and unpredictable. I never got locked out anymore, but approaching the car gives me random responses at best. Sometimes it presents the door handles...

I agree with the OP in general as well. The marketing overhyped the end product which is a shame. I also fault myself for believing the marketing to be a realistic expectation for DDPro and V2H. I am more practical now in my expectations. Like someone said, only buy what you’re getting now...

I think I would consider either the BMW Neue Klasse i3 or the Mercedes C-Class EV… but much preferably M or AMG variants if available to close the performance gap with the Air. I’ve enjoyed the spacious size of the Air, but it’s a touch larger than I need.
