    Broken Door Mechanism & Lucid's Solution!?

    Now that I've a few days to think about it, the Lucid Customer Care was probably a fan of the film 300. [Channeling Dillios] That's why our design team gave you 3 spare doors you can use. LOL. That said, Lucid's response has been very good after that initial faux pas. The mobile service is...

    Broken Door Mechanism & Lucid's Solution!?

    It worked. She can exit the car fine after that initial hard pull. She burned some calories but its better than crawling out the passenger side. Thanks! ;)

    Passenger door handle broken / grinding

    Yup. Door handle gremlin got our Lucid AT too. Same symptoms as OP, grinding noise, the whole shebang. Recommended percussive fix didn't fix it. Lucid Customer Care recommends crawling across car for ingress & egress until Service can get back to us in 24 to 48 hours. Yikes!

    Broken Door Mechanism & Lucid's Solution!?

    Our Lucid Air Touring's driver door mechanism broke when my wife drove it to her work place this morning. After getting in touch with Lucid Customer Care, the care first agent advised me that driver can still exit from passenger side door and the service center will contact me in 24 to 48 hours...

    Why did you decide for the Lucid Air vs. Model S, EQS, i7, Taycan, ...?

    When my wife and I drove through Irvine a couple of weeks back, we counted almost 10% of the cars were Tesla 3's and Y's. So, I guess they cover both the Corolla sedan and hatchback style (Car that inspired the Y).

    Why did you decide for the Lucid Air vs. Model S, EQS, i7, Taycan, ...?

    Value. Air Pure is $11K dearer than Lexus NX PHEV. I feel like I'm getting more incremental value than the cost with Pure, i.e. more room, more usable performance, less carbon footprint, and more drive train simplicity. Also, local Lexus dealers wanted to charge up to $6k to let me put in a...

    What ICE would you get if EVs never happened?

    Honda Clarity PHEV. Wait, ... Honda cancelled that. Lexus GS. Wait, ... Toyota cancelled that. Lexus NX PHEV. Wait, ... local dealers wanted to charge up to $6K fees for allowing me to place a factory order. I guess I'll stick with my gas-guzzling Infiniti SUV.

    Just reserved a Pure from Newport Beach Studio

    My wife and I just reserved a grey-on-grey Pure from Newport Beach Studio. Drake T, who helped us with our decision, was knowledgeable and helpful. While Pures are scheduled to go into production in Q4 '22, he informed us that Q1 '23 is a more realistic delivery date. Well, we can wait...

    Congrats on getting your GT. It's a lovely car. I'm curious about when this feature will be available too. But quite likely it'll be q moot question when I take delivery in Q1, 2023.
