On the configurator, the number of options is limited for the lower trims. Looks like a cost-cutting move to make it easy to build.
 
More expensive, less lease deals and no massage seats on Touring anymore.

The Air owners manual makes reference to the seat belt nag starting at a lower speed for 2027 and later models.

That's the only difference that I'm aware of, and it's relatively trivial.

Oh, and they dropped the 19¨ Aeronaut Stealth wheels.

All 19" Aeronaut wheels are gone, not just stealth ones, now my Air with Aeronauts should gain value given it was a 2026-only limited run lol.

Also color options have increased from $800 to $1,000, and Comfort and Convenience Package have increased from $2.5k to $3k
 
My black stealth 2025 AT with 21” aero stealth wheels and 20 way massage seats maybe just went up in value a bit with these options being removed from the Touring trim. Very disappointing they didn’t make any small improvements like putting the Gravity top screen in and the full Gravity interior colors. Those seem like no brainers.
 
I looks like Compare Lucid Models feature isn't yet available for the 2027 Air... Hopefully the web team is will get that capability out the door soon.
 
The configurator doesn't specify a year?? I can't tell if this is for a 26 or 27. And why no announcement? Weird to like, stumble upon this on a forum.

NACS Port finally? I fear not.

While I appreciate the relative simplicity of the NACS--and it would have been nice to get it on the 2027 model--I can certainly live with using the adapter.

Honestly, I'm more interested in refinements to DreamDrive, SurrealSound, getting dashcam capability, and resolution of recurring build quality issues (parts/function failures). I say that as someone who still does not own; I'm basing all of my opinions on a single test drive and a lot of research, which I know is not the same as having owned and driven the Air for months or years.

Regardless, I'm all in. Just waiting for the right moment to pull the trigger on an order.

An adapter would be handy if you find yourself at a non-Tesla NACS fast charger.
But otherwise, you'll want to charge at a CCS station anyway - it'll be much faster than at a Supercharger.
 
It is good news to finally see 2027 Air moving forward.. They obviously have limited option overlaps between the trims to simplify production.

Odd that they still have Air with short-lived Aeronaut wheels as display photo on Lucid site, but those are no longer available for order. Those were nice looking wheels, so assume it is an effort to cut back on factory wheel choices for simplicity. No massage seats on Touring either. That seems odd.

The Pure cannot be ordered with SSP sound without getting the stealth package... Same thing with 20" wheels, which only come with stealth package. This might be a way for them to produce Pure in basic form and promote the base value... However, you need to be a fan of the stealth trim to get sound or wheel upgrade on the Pure. With this sound/stealth package on Pure it lands the price within 5-6k of the Touring base price...

I doubt they will offer lease deals on ordered cars until they finish selling off 2026 inventory...

Furthermore, management made it clear that they are going to limit production and are not going to resort to heavy discounts and promotions in order to move cars in the future. However, they might want to consider some promo for those whose current Lucid leases are up in next few months.. They should work to retain us.
 
I may have said earlier, I think the biggest problem with upgrading Air for 2027 is that it need so much change to get current and Lucid has their irons in another fire. Air needs that critical Rev2 design where they reduce complexity, improve profitability, and bring things like NACS, battery tech, DDPro, etc. up to modern standards. Doesn't look it for 2027. 2028 doesn't look likely either. Air might end up being the Tesla Roadster v2 of Lucid.
 
Glad they are finally simplifying the lineup. I'm all for choice and we all want it, but this was not helping the company to have so many configurations available. If this Napoli's doing, then keep the good work. Wish more exciting things came, but I'm okay with waiting as long as profitability ship starts to steer correctly. Also, as a lot have said, glad they are still making it period when this segment is damn near dead stateside.
 
Seems like the sensible thing to do is buy a 2026 if you can find a vehicle that has an appealing configuration, and take advantage of what will doubtless be better deals than they'll offer any time soon on a 2027.
