Lucid Air 2023
I took delivery on a base model Air Pure about a month ago. It is my first fully electric vehicle. My last was a now-discontinued BMW 530e, and the Air had better lease terms than the BMW i5 and a significantly better driving experience as well. There were a few bumps on delivery, but driving around (even in traffic) is incredible. It is the new "Ultimate Driving Machine"! I love the challenge of taking an entire trip without touching the brakes. It makes Tesla feel like a toy.

I plan on being reasonably active here as I learn my new car's idiosyncrasies. I'm looking forward to some productive conversations!
 
Welcome, fellow NJ driver! I've only seen a single other Lucid in the wild so far, maybe you'll be the next...

Congrats! Welcome to the NJ Lucid owners club.
 
Congrats! Welcome to the NJ Lucid owners club. I have see quite a few in CNJ.

@Rossb2k where are you located?
 
Welcome! i only encountered other Lucid in north jersey a few times in 1.5 years of ownership.
 
Congrats and welcome. After 17k miles I still drive with a smile! You'll see me at the East Brunswick Walmart or the Bridgewater target charging.

Yeah I saw you couple of times in EB Walmart charging 😂. I think you and I have same ZR exterior (atleast).

Hello fellow owner

Yes indeed! I was at target early this morning charging. My new favorite buffet is Umi so I'll probably be charging in EB more :).

Are you in Northern or Southern Jersey?
it takes a few weeks to get comfortable with the layout but it comes together one with the machine by then I'm in Red Bank one of three owners that I know of. Best of luck!
 
Welcome to this forum and to a great driving experience. I live in Freehold. Recently, I had my annual service done. When I mentioned to the service tech that I knew of only one other owner in Freehold (recent). To my surprise he indicated there are about a dozen here, but I have yet to see one.

There are quite a few owners in the San Diego area, a few hundred at least. Despite that, I'm lucky if I see even one in a week.
 
Congrats and welcome
I was going to caution you about taking the car to a regular car wash, don't. I had the car ceramic coated and just use mild soap and water, buffed with a soft cloth. The car washes are not suitable with the paint and thin body metal used in EV's. County Line in Jackson did a great job for me and they are Lucid certified for repairs. Stuff happens as they say.
 
Welcome!! Pics of the car please! Love seeing the new pics.
