    Pre-owned Air Touring purchasing option question

    You make a good point. The biggest headache is figuring out the options if you don't buy from Lucid. Most used car dealers buy these cars at auction and know very little about Lucid's packages. Many can't even tell Surreal Sound from Surreal Sound Pro, and their listings are often inaccurate...

    Service

    In L.A. mobile service has been around for awhile, and its growing... The original service cars were Airs with tool boxes built in, but new set up is better with the Gravity

    New CCCU

    I had the CCC changeover done by Lucid mobile tech last week... They have been doing them through field service here in L.A. since the new processor was first available... However, now with rollout of UX 3.0 there if probably a backlog of orders for installation, so it might take them a few...

    First-Time EV Buyer: Looking for a Pre-Owned Air Touring (Tips on Model Years?)

    At a minimum, I'd look for a 2023 with some significant warranty remaining. Having several months of full warranty coverage is a good safety net, and more is always better. Not to say that 2022 is bad choice, but you will be on your own without a warranty. The 2024s had some minor...

    UX 3.0 Update

    I just spent first few hours with my new processor and 3.0 update and found stuff to like--but still trying to figure out other stuff. Not sure if it is a glitch or my user errors. The good news is that they system seems quicker and more responsive and overall audio has improved with SSP...

    UX 3.0 Update

    I got my processor upgrade and latest software... Still setting it up, but it won't recognize my Lucid ID password. I confirmed my password is still active on Lucid Motors website, but new software will not recognize.... Have others experienced this??

    Service Expansion In So Cal

    I had a field service visit today for my Air, arranged through the Beverly Hills service center, for the new processor upgrade, a seat repair, and a trim repair. The process was easy. I left a message, received a return call within 24 hours, and scheduled an appointment about 3½ weeks out. That...

    Anyone else encounter a strange tear in seat upholstery?

    I just had my drivers seat cushion cover replaced again.. I actually think the new material feels a bit more stout than previous PurLuxe.. Might be wishful thinking, but time will tell.

    Stock Momentum

    You’re correct—they need to sell cars while we wait for Cosmos, and they can't do it on Gravity alone. I think Lucid needs to do a better job promoting the Air’s value and performance, hopefully with a fresh push around the new operating system and a more attainable price. The Air Pure at 69k...

    Stock Momentum

    They have a long way to go, but this is a step in the right direction. I think the Gravity momentum is good, and Air with much improved operating system, should kindle a bit more postive Air press...

    Buying your Air at lease-end

    I think about that too, but with the deal I negotiated on mine, I feel there’s enough value left in the car to make the buyout worthwhile. I paid just under $34K for a car that drives better than anything else I’ve owned--- and what else can you buy at this price which drives like this?? Mine...

    Anyone else encounter a strange tear in seat upholstery?

    If it is a stress tear along along line of perforations it should be covered by warranty... Get it done before lease return.. The material is comfortable-- but it is just too soft and fragile for car seat

    Warranty expiring in November

    I recently bought out my Lucid lease through Tresl, which is now listed as a suggested financing partner for buyouts—somewhat buried under the lease-end options on the Lucid Financial website. I still have about a year left on my original warranty. During the transaction, Tresl sent me an...

    Lucid Air GT falling under $40k

    Note that battery and drivetrain have much longer coverage of 8 years 100k miles, but it would make sense for a third party to fill the void with extended warranty options for the other issues.

    Lease Buyout

    Update. I still had two weeks left before turn-in, so I called to ask for an update on my buyout price and got a surprise.. They increased the price by $200.. Their review process involves active used market pricing, so it can fluctuate.. However, they also said my earlier printed buy-out...

    Looking at Used 2023 GT, What should I look for in the test drive

    Lease return process

    Was this a final bill after car was returned? They are well aware that PurLuxe material has a durability issue and have handled replacement under warranty for countless owners.. I would strongly contest it, as the photo shows a breakdown of the material between perforations--as opposed to a...

    DDP / SSP activation cost?

    I have been scouring the market for that spec in a 2024-2025...I actually found it difficult to find these in Touring.. Much easier in Grand Touring, I found a 2025 near me with both options activated, but no leather, so it did not have alcantara headliner--which I have in my current Pure...
