Hope springs eternal!

reinstate the $7,500 EV rebate?!;)

Agree with @socktucker. Go to Discount Tires if they are in your neighborhood. Costco is good as well. But some Costco don't want to touch a Lucid (Air) 19" PZ4 tire is about $250 a piece (free mounting). As for wheels, that can be anything you want to spend. I'd suspect between $300-$400 a...

Don't knock it! That what made VW and Toyota! Seriously, "gee-Weeze High Tech" is great. But it has to work. The top niche of automobiles will not be able to sustain a company like Lucid. Look at Jaguar! For Lucid to stay afloat, it must be relevant in the sub $50k space. The BMW 3 series!

Hope springs eterrnal!

I hope Lucid's service center performance will improve in the coming year. The status-quo is unacceptable. That said, for Cosmos to penetrate the mid-segment market in earnest, Lucid must have a robust (HW/SW) entry, competitive pricing, and convenient access to service. The status quo of...

Thanks for putting things in perspective!

Jealousy won't get us any where!

Thanks for posting. Was there a clear objective of this event? What is the process and what are the "deliverables"?

If it charges on L2 240V but won't charge at EV stations, it is likely a problem with the Wunderbox. I had the opposite problem on my 2022AGT. In my case, it charges on the Electrify America DC charge but won't charge on L2 240V. Ultimately, Lucid concluded it was a Wunderbox problem and...

It is a PR thing for Uber, a distraction for Lucid. Yes, I know Uber also invested in Lucid. The vast majority of robotaxis will not be Lucid vehicles. Lucid needs to "right-the-ship" to survive. I am a fan of Robo-Taxi. Been riding Waymo for years. Robo-taxi is an unneeded...

At this juncture of Lucid's challenges, robotaxi is the last thing they need!

How?

I don't think hiring more service techs is the only solution, nor is ot the best solution. In a different post, I strongly urge Lucid to "Re-Think" their service model. Specifically, get rid of the things other non-Lucid service center can perform and focus the Lucid SC on the power train and...

Ummm, you mean, "we need to focus and execute?" What a novel idea?!

True, but a company that has a history of launching products that are "not-ready-for-prime-time", coupled with poor post-sales service, will have a tough sell. Cosmos buyers are not your Lucid Air/Gravity buyers. Cosmos byers won't tolerate the kind of issues in Lucid's prior products and...

Battery/motor/software, yes, Lucid should own those service items. But regular maintenance, fluids, wheel alignment, tires, 12V battery, tires, and many other mundane items can be serviced by Discount Tires. The current service backlog is a cancer to scaling Lucid's business.

I agree. By the time Cosmos arrives in earnest, Lucid will be a couple of years behind Rivian and other $45,000 EVs. All the other competitors already have a much more extensive service infrastructure than Lucid.

40k is a decent and a respectable number for Year 1. Still, it will take A LOT of discipline to get there without the kind of intro problems that the Air and Gravity encountered. Unlike the Air/Gravity audience, the Cosmos buyers will be much less tolerant and forgiving, as they should be!
