    Lease-End Costs: What We’re Doing to Improve Transparency

    Are you talking about the gentleman who obliterated the underside of his car? I was shocked he wasn't expecting to be slapped with a replacement fee. The other gentleman with the windshield quickly had it dismissed by management. That thread was receiving traffic nearly daily for months for...

    Lease-End Costs: What We’re Doing to Improve Transparency

    You can feel frustrated for not reading the terms and conditions. However, they have not charged every returning lease for a new windshield. Hyperbole does nothing for the conversation. There appear to be inconsistencies in execution by the third-party inspectors. Lucid has by and large...

    Regular Car Reviews

    Amusing commentary. Light on the details. I still wouldn't mind watching another review by them for the humor.

    Lucid Motors’ Marc Winterhoff on tariffs, H-1Bs, and staying out of China

    American companies are finally starting to see the true cost of handing over intellectual property to China to do business there. Plenty of other places to do business without needing to give up that critical information. H1-B visas will have an impact. However, I suspect companies will be able...

    Suspension dip after slowly crossing speed bump in smooth mode.

    I would email or call customer support. Let them know you have repeatable behavior of the suspension that is odd for the suspension team to consider.

    Suspension dip after slowly crossing speed bump in smooth mode.

    The Lucid suspension team is always looking for new encounters of driving conditions for suspension tuning. If you are open to it, I would reach out to customer service about the behavior. My expectation would be that the Lucid team would want the data and work in coordination with you to get it...

    Motor trend Lucid Gravity review with Kyle Conner

    Just a note on this back and forth with software. At a high level, I believe people highly underestimate the effort and complexity of the Lucid's system. There are a lot of demands and juggling priorities being asked of the same "computer". As someone who expected to launch a database to market...

    Question for experts & “old-timers”

    The 2023 year started the availability of selecting additional options with leather, Dream Drive hardware, Surreal Sound, etc. Lucid has been consistently driving down costs on the production front, but options always incur a cost to the bottom line due to variability. Sales have also been...

    319 miles range at 80% battery for 2023 AWD Air

    This is an estimation. Battery cells may have settled to a different voltage reading post-charge. I don't think there has been a solid way to confirm exact battery degradation for the Lucids yet. There are some estimates and guesses, but nothing has been fully confirmed as definitive.

    Solution to avoid water getting in the trunk after car wash or rain

    For the dirty water, it helps to take the jet setting on a hose and run along the bottom back and forth. I normally miss spots when washing, so I typically do this 2-3 times in the back. Reduces the dirt spots. For water spots, I have long since resigned. Alabama has some of the hardest water...

    Excessive charging noise at EA station

    Unfortunately, the noises heard are the fans working overtime to cool the battery pack under high charging loads. The hood does get warm, maybe even hot to the touch. You'll also feel the frunk get incredibly warm too. As for the motor whine, Lucid's motors can spin up to 20,000 RPM (if memory...

    Lucid tells me I need to turn the car in. Amyone know how I do this?

    Service centers I believe are the primary drop-off location.

    I get more mi/kWh with brake regen off???

    This is indeed true. I would argue I am fairly even keel on preventing cycles. However, I have found putting it in the coast mode makes a marked difference in efficiency all the same (+.1-.3 m/kWh). Further evidence of efficiency gains is observing a notable lower overall efficiency when using...

    How to change Headlight

    Any work to the front that I have heard of requires taking off the entire front bumper. Hope this helps on expectations.

    21" Tire Dilemma - all seasons

    Tire Rack isn't listing any options. The OEM tires have only gotten more expensive over the years... From around $425 to $537 for the rear option before tax and installation. The "maybe" for All Season or Winter options seems to firmly be a "no" after 4+ years of waiting.

    free charging cancelled 6 months early

    Lucid didn't cancel my free charging, but it appears they swapped my unlimited to a 1000kWh limit per year. We charged well above this last year. My app states Unlimited. When we bought the car, the "legacy" unlimited charging was listed as a benefit. We are well into month 2 of trying to get...

    2022 Lucid Air GT-P + Accessories

    After considerable thought, I have decided that we will not sale the car. I have appreciated the interest from those on the forum and patience from those with offers as we worked through personal details on our end. The car will become a surprise retirement gift for my father when we get...

    Tidal Quirks

    There is an option on the bottom panel to browse upcoming songs when playing music. I will take a picture later today, but it is a right pointing triangle paired with a triple horizontal line. Works great for the most part (just don't navigate away if you are deep into the list looking for...

    West Coast Customs x Lucid - GTP - Wow!

    Now I would put the bear logo on the car given both face forward. Infinitely better. Is West Customs selling those?
