I just got my car back, new battery installed and everything. I am charging it to 100% this morning, for the first time. I’m not anticipating 516 miles anymore.

Yes, point taken, specifically your last paragraph. But have you seen the KIA EV9 in the flesh? FUHHHHGLY.

I’m sorry your experience with financing and at delivery were decidedly below par. I’m disappointed for you that things didn’t go to plan and that your transaction did not proceed as befitting a very expensive car purchase (my Lucid is my most expensive). It sounds to me like your car wasn’t...

I’ve been having this happen too with my Tesla wallcharger. Doesn’t matter which car is plugged in - Tesla or Lucid - the car will just start charging, even though scheduled charging was set for charging to start at midnight. Naturally, and without exception, this “uncommanded charging” only...

Jesus…what now?

Generally the doors to my Lucid only experience “performance anxiety” when I’m trying to show it off and impress people. Especially people who are determined to remain unimpressed.

I wish this was all I had needed to do to clear the warning that came up in my car a few weeks ago. My warning was different - “Drive System Warning” - in yellow letters. My car was still driveable but I was advised against doing so. Naturally, like you, this occurred on a a weekend...

Probably. Maybe not all would require the service pros, but I did. I didn’t trust myself to pull that plastic panel off, not destroy the clips behind it, mess something else up, and reattach it. For me it was easier and safer to call “Frank”, our local mobile service guru, and have him do...

There’s a thread here from a few years ago, about Lucid service taking a piece of duct tape, to patch a hole behind the plastic panel that forms the left side of the driver’s footwell. Very quick and easy fix, for as long as it’s done by one of their service pros.

Got the loaner, aaand it’s official: “Good morning Arnel, I hope you're well. Our team had a chance to complete diagnosis on your vehicle and it appears we will indeed be replacing the high voltage battery pack on your vehicle due to an internal imbalance within the pack. This repair is fully...

Just a WAG here - about $50,000. Assuming that I sell my Air GT at the three-year mark, and keeping in mind that Lucid has been dropping prices on their brand new Airs, I’m assuming that our Airs will have depreciated by well over 60%. I’m not holding out much hope. Also, luxury car brands...

Oh, don’t worry. All the features we’ve been clamouring for will eventually turn up. As a Tesla owner from the early days, it would annoy me to no end that Elon Musk and his his team would waste time releasing in-car video games, seat cushion fart sounds and rainbows and unicorns highway...

Yes, that’s right. Well, actually, at this point I don’t know for sure if it’s going to be a battery replacement. Francisco is my service adviser this time around, and so far he’s doing a terrific job. I turned my car over to a tow service this past Monday, and was immediately given an auto...

I asked myself a variation of this question, and here’s my answer. When the Gravity I order becomes available, I’ll sell both our Tesla Model X and my Lucid Air. By then we will be down to only one driver in the family, me. When I sell the Air I will be a little sad of course, but I’ll know...

On one occasion, Lucid Navigation brought me about four miles west of where I needed to be, and called it good. In that instance I knew I where my destination was, and found myself surprised and annoyed that Lucid Nav could be so off. On another occasion, after asking for directions to the...

I believe my car might be among the batch you speak of. I had my car towed from my house to Costa Mesa this past Monday. Still waiting for a loaner, which I was assured I would get by “the end of the week”, which would be tomorrow.

Somebody just had to be a wise guy…

And I did notice, all four doors swing open very wide. Just like the doors on the Air.

That’s enough of an endorsement for me. I think I might have already said that I’ve owned two Honda Odysseys, both completely marvelous vehicles, and peerless in doing what they’re designed to do - haul seven/eight elderly people and all their stuff. I will also say this - when we give up our...

A few weeks ago, I heard through a Lucid employee participating in one of our local meetups that the Gravity would be on display for about a week, in Newport Beach CA, about 100 miles from where I live. So I drove the 100 miles, took a look at the Gravity, had a chance meeting with the very...
