Welcome! Nice combo! Did you get the glass canopy? I live in Arizona, and I worried aboutother how well the A/C could handle the climate. I imagine that you would face a similar challenge.

There is already a Lucid group page for Riyadh, although that is not in the east:

Hi, yes I did go with the glass canopy. I have tinted the glass for extra heat resistance. fortunately, I have not gotten the chance to drive the car so far in middle of the day. I only put on it 300 miles so far

BTW, I used to live in AZ, Tempe !

I was driving from Dhahran to Riyadh about 10 years ago in a company car (Ford Crown Victoria) and encountered a sand storm. By the time I got to Riyadh the paint had been stripped off the front edges and the headlights had been sandblasted to a milky color (I probably should have pulled over and waited out the storm, but I didn't know any better). If I had a Lucid in KSA I would probably add PPF film to it to protect against that that.

Nice! I hear that the tinting the canopy makes a big difference with internal temperature management, and looks very cool in the process! Interesting that you used to live in Tempe. There's got to be a story there. Did you by chance study international management at Thunderbird? That's where I got my master's degree way back before they became part of ASU.

Yes, I am an ASU graduate ... I was one of dozen of Saudis who attended the school back then... it was good time .... I used to go to Polytechnic Campus and chandler community college as well. But, I did not attend/go Thunderbird... I still have alot of friends back in AZ. my last visit was about 8 years back. I am planning to come for a visit some time next year. I used to drive a black Eclipse GSX 98. what a car to enjoy driving with Turbo spoiling up and blowing off! it was the only one in AZ as far as I know. AZ brings back good memories hhhh
