My recent Lucid Service Experience - Costa Mesa Service

The only issue with Costa Mesa service center is that they are overwhelmed. They service all the cars in Orange, Riverside AND San Diego counties. The volume of cars in San Diego is high really needs its own service center. One was supposed to be built in SD a couple of years ago, but has always fallen through. Frank with mobile service is great, but he and his partners cannot keep up with the volume here in the county. Supposedly there is one coming online this year, but with Lucid’s bad time estimates for everything, my guess is in ‘26 or ‘27. Was hoping it would be open by the time my car needed the 48k service and now to do that CCCv2 chip upgrade, but to no avail. Cannot even schedule service on the app for Costa Mesa. No slots are available for the three months it shows.
Yep ... Costa Mesa is my closest SC, but NO appointments are available. I now have to drive 55 miles to Torrance this week for several issues I'm experiencing .. Lane departure, front collision not working when hot outside, AC barely functioning when DCFC and high pitch whine upon plugging in J1772 charger.
 
Yep, that's my service center too. Really busy so not too surprising that experiences are inconsistent. Has anyone had experience, good or bad, with the Torrance or Beverly Hills location? I notice that they have appointments available...

PS I don't understand how they could build a Beverly Hills and Torrance location while leaving San Diego out??!!
Torrance and BH have been great.
 
I know a lot of folks have shared frustration with Lucid service, so I wanted to offer a counterpoint based on my recent experience a few days ago with Lucid Service in Costa Mesa.

At 10:27 AM, I called Lucid Customer Care via the main line listed in the app about an issue. Super short wait time sub 5 minutes.

By 12:43 PM, just over two hours later, my car was already en route to the service center.

Lucid arranged a tow truck to come directly to my home. They coordinated everything, made it easy to hand off the key, and even asked for the access and gate codes in advance to streamline the process.

No hassle. No back and forth. Just clear communication and fast action.

I get that everyone’s experience can vary, but for me, Lucid handled this perfectly. Credit where credit is due.

I look forward to -hopefully- getting my car back before LA EV fest tho! Would be a shame not to show off. :)
Glad you’re happy with service, we should all be so fortunate. My own recent experiences haven’t been so positive. While the service team at Tysons Corner has been exceptional at replacing the failed driving systems of my Air, thank you Giorgio, no one has ever gotten back to me, regarding the body damage done to my car by the tow truck. Is it up to me, isn't Lucid responsible? Frustrating.

I’d escalate this. Did you see the tow truck do the damage? I’d make an insurance claim and let your insurance start reaching out to the pertinent people as well.

They won’t immediately want to absorb the loss, so will likely go after the tow companies insurance to sort things out.
