I think the answer was correct but the wording could have been better. There is something to be said for being an early adopter of an expensive product. So the manger could have explained that all times are booked but he/she can say something like "Lucid appreciates your purchase as an early...

This should be repairable. But aluminum is much harder to repair than steel. On my former BMW some asswipe dented both of my front doors. The body shop wanted to replace the aluminum door car panels. The insurance company insisted that they try to repair it first. So they did and couldn't...

Didn't you see the new Tesla Roadster? Promised in 2017 for availability in 2020 so it must be out there.

Not sure I agree. My recollection is that originally there was no DD Premium. One either got DD or DD Pro. Many complained that DD didn't have 360 cameras (primarily) and Lucid responded with Premium that provided that feature. So Premium is essentially regular DD with the camera package...

I had a lesser but similar experience with BMW. But when I raised the lemon law issue, with the assistance of the service manager BMW agreed to a buyback. Its offer was, IMO, very fair (what I paid minus a reasonable allowance for my miles used) and it agreed to let me continue to drive the...

3rd party extended service plans are profitable because like all insurance, they are priced to cover the high costs of one vehicle with the low costs of another. So Lucid should be able to make even more money if it offered an extended service plan.

I am not saying I disagree but traditional car companies do clean up like those fixes when their cars get to the port (if they are being imported) or at some other point in the pre sale process. Those port fixes are typically not disclosed. Since it was sold as new Lucid is acting like other...

Lucid has a bit of a history of trying to implement very complex systems. My example is the garage door opener. It would have been much simpler to implement the standard/traditional three buttons on the rear view mirror system but Lucid chose a much more complex and more capable system but had...

Not to steal the thread but if Lucid used a refurbished battery, it might make sense for you to check if it meets this capacity threshold from the Lucid OEM warranty: "If it is determined that your battery requires warranty repair, Lucid will repair, replace, or adjust the part with a new...

"switched gears"?

A great example of how this forum can be useful for a new owner. Good work @RobertW23.

North Scottsdale to Tempe. Interesting move. I live by Kierland and my son and his family are in Tempe so I am in both often and do the drive between them all the time. You do have more available fast chargers than I do (other than Tesla): Arizona Mills and Chandler outlet shops. In a few...

Eco mode on a performance vehicle? Shame on you. I think Eco mode on a GV60 (advanced or performance models but not the newer and less powerful RWD only model) should be reserved for long distance emergencies. Eco mode on a Lucid, IMO, should be similarly limited. I suggest that you do your...

I call it "Ferris Bueller syndrome". 🚘

Most likely the car was sold with a salvage title. If so, you are on your own to fix it if it breaks.
