Anyone else have this issue. When you pull the handle and nothing happens. And you try and try again, and finally it opens. Sometimes takes pushing on the handle and then pulling it up for something to happen. My kids don’t have the patience like I do, so I’m worried they will pull the handle off one day. Taking it into lucid on Monday as this shouldn’t happen on a 9 day old car.

Service should be able to fix it. My driver’s side rear door has this problem, as well. The other three door handles are fine, so I’m guessing this is a hardware problem and not a software problem. I’ve seen forum posts that a switch needed to be replaced.
 
Well, now 3 of 4 doors won’t open. Kinda makes the use of a car a little challenging. Don’t even wanna drive it until resolved as I’m worried I won’t be able to get back in.
 
Now I understand why these people are just standing outside their car. They look a little pissed.

welcome to Lucid, you’re going to service! What’s your nearest center?

Is your driver door the 1 out of 4 doors that is unlocking? Do you have “Unlock Driver Door Only” set?

My front passenger door won't open. This after numerous window issues. Mobile tech has been out here 7-8 times so far.
 
I'm having a similar issue with my Gravity GT driver's door. Sometimes it opens, sometimes it doesn't. The door handle pops out but won't open the door. Other doors work fine.

Mis-adjusted switch?
 
I've contacted service to see. Waiting on a return call but not expecting it today since it's Labor Day.

Had a similar issue when car was new on passenger side door. Pulling the handle would make no noise at all and nothing would happen. Must have been crud on the switch, because it would open from the inside and it seems to have been solved by exercising the switch. You can exercise the switch most easily by holding the door open and just repeatedly pulling the handle until you hear the 'dah-dah' consistently every time you pull. I would then give it maybe ten more cycles. I think I only did that maybe 3 times (before my wife was around to see)and haven't had any issues in 8 months since.
 
I'll try that and see if that works. Thank you for the suggestion

Bicycleguy's suggestion above has really helped. Only had the issue once since trying it
