I'm strongly considering a Touring, but having trouble pulling the trigger. It seems like everyone here has had issues at one point or another because of the company's growing pains. Seems like everyone, even the satisfied customers, have had .a loaner at some point. It didn't help that my test drive car had a creaking wheel, which led me to find this forum and then I see all these other issues with the car.

I know this is a small and biased sample and I tell myself that these are earlier builds and the 25s probably have the kinks worked out. But I have a hard time paying almost 100k for a car that might be more work for me. I'm busy enough as it is.

So anyone with a 2025 build? Have the little problems been fixed? Is the car more reliable now?

I don't have a '25, but I would like to make a quick comment: my 2022 had a few minor growing pains with trim, etc. As far as reliability goes, the car has been rock solid for 30k miles.

I own a 2024 Air Pure. Have owned the car for 5 months. Have had issues with my car since day 1 and unfortunately I am still having them. Wish I could give you an answer on the 2025 model.

I've had a 2024 Pure for 2 months, 1500 miles, and had no issues that'd make be wish I chose a different car. At this rate, I will most likely buyout the lease at end.

I think everyone's tolerance and expectations is different so replies will vary. Cars I went through are Honda, Toyota, BMW, Tesla, and finally Lucid. If I were to start being picky, I'd have handful of complaints and a few pages of wish list. My career been Technology and Security, so I understand and can manage the software.

I’ve had my AT for about 5 months. My only issue was with the footwell speaker tape coming loose (a known issue) which was immediately fixed by the SC. I’ve been loving the car thus far!

I have had a 2024 Pure since July and have only had minor issues—like update-related issues, which got fixed. Mobile service came to my home to address these concerns. I didn’t require a loaner, but I'm super happy that they provide one if needed. I absolutely love the car, but my only complaint is that my wife rarely lets me drive it. It is her car now. I don’t think you should be overly concerned about the issues reported here. Most have had no show-stopper issues.

This is the best car I have ever driven.

Mine is a 2023 model, had a few trim issues. But Lucid customer service is exemplary. They will address any issue. They even fixed a wrinkle in my rear seat leather. They updated the steering wheel design to reduce creaking. I'm sure 2025 will have much better build quality and most trim issues should be fixed.

The car is too good to drive, don't let a trim issue deny you the pleasure of driving the best sport sedan ever made!

Check this out, from a very reputable British auto journalist.

I have owned my GT for 26 months and have had only very minor issues ; a faulty back speaker, some creaks and rattles and one very minor trim issue. The car has generally been solid for me. While I do think a fair number of owners have had minor issues, most of us are quite happy with our decision. My software issues have been virtually nonexistent , so it often comes as a surprise to me when I read about people’s frustrations with the software. Software started out pretty rough on very early builds, but tremendous progress has been made. As others have said, the car is such a joy to drive. Focus on the engineering prowess of the Lucid and do not worry too much about build issues. Lucid service is fantastic and most problems are easily rectified. Pull that trigger !!!!!
