Any current Lucid owners out there within 50 miles of Corning, New York? After three Tesla’s, I’m anxious to move onto another brand, and Lucid is at the top of my list. Would love to chance to meet and talk about your overall experience with the car. If you’re willing, a chance to sit in the car and maybe get a ride would be great. Would be nice to do before I make the trek down to King of Prussia to look further, without the pressure of any sales staff. Thanks!
 
KOP is a service center. The White Plains studio might be closer to you. I have found that the Lucid sales folks are very low pressure. I spent almost a year chatting with the folks at the meat packing district in NYC and then the folks at the Short Hills before pulling the trigger over 2 years ago. Been to most of the studios along the east coast and I've always been treated well - even after purchasing the car :). Unfortunately I'm in central Jersey so I can't help with the drive but happy to chat about experience. Just DM me.
 
Thanks for the info, I’ll keep the DM offer in mind!
 
I would suggesr going to a studio for a test drive. They don't even try to sell you the car, they are just there to show you the car and its features. They will of course come with you on the test drive. For me they actually encouraged really "testing its limits" so they are not going to hold you back. It was also nice to have the person there to go changing the different drive modes for me while I was driving.

I also test drove a Tesla using their self-service process. In a way it is nice to just be able to do it yourself, but for sure I learned more about the Lucid in the ~hour or so I spent with the car and the staff compared to what I could learn about the Tesla in an hour.
 
I did both a test drive at the studio (first) and then visit to KOP before I ordered to check out all of the colors and combinations. They can't "host" you at KOP as they don't have any sales people there but you can walk the parking lot and spend good time there looking at the colors and peek through the window at the interiors. I found this very helpful as the studio only has a few colors on hand (and not in all of the combinations with / without glass roof (since the color treatment is different) and with / without stealth. And you can see how the various tire sizes look. I'm in northern NJ, so 3.5 hours from Corning .. maybe not much closer that KOP but would be happy to give you a demo if you'd like - '25 AT fathom blue stealth 20" wheels tahoe interior.
 
My office is in White Plains and I test drove an air pure through the Lucid Studio at the Westchester. The people there were great. My experience was similar to that of Tony Lieske as he described.
I am getting the 19 inch tires on my 2025 Air Pure (delivery day is this Saturday!) as I expect to be driving it in bad weather. Lower Hudson Valley winters are nothing compared to what you go though in the Southern Tier so definitely discuss your tire options with the studio personnel. I would be happy to meet up with you if you plan to visit White Plains and share my experience
