    Ordering and Delivery: Lucid Air Touring

    I think Lucid gave us the "should have it by the end of the year" spiel to keep us on the hook and not bail over the income tax credit. Now they can push the AGT's that are in inventory for delivery by the end of the year. I feel a bit played by this rhetoric. Pete

    Ordering and Delivery: Lucid Air Touring

    I heard the same about the timing but was not informed of any production delays. I've mostly resigned myself that I won't get the car until January. Pete

    Ordering and Delivery: Lucid Air Touring

    Talked to my DA today. He told me they did indeed "pre-build" some silver and white Tourings and they would be delivering those soon. I asked if they were batching colors and he said yes. He thought Red/Santa Cruz cars could be this year, but my Red/Tahoe might fall into January. Apparently...

    Ordering and Delivery: Lucid Air Touring

    Congratulations! Did you also have a Grand Touring reserved with the old price or did they convert your Touring reservation to Grand Touring keeping the old price? I think a few of us would give consideration to the later. Pete

    Winter tires

    I think flat spotting has generally been exaggerated. I suggest asking the tire manufacturer for their recommendation. My guess is it would take several months before becoming a concern. Pete

    Alexa seems rather entrenched for it to just go away Pete .

    Ordering and Delivery: Lucid Air Touring

    Add me to the list of confused buyers. I had to go to the website to find the link to finalize my order. No email from Lucid on that. No DA contact since then even though I've emailed him twice after getting his name from my SA. A call or email sure would be quite welcome at this point. Pete

    Coefficient of Drag for Touring & Pure..... What does this mean?

    It's still an indicator of aerodynamic efficiency and one of the few factors an engineer can control. My only point was to be careful in saying the Lucid has less drag than Brand X. Unless they both have the same frontal area, that may or may not be true. Pete

    Coefficient of Drag for Touring & Pure..... What does this mean?

    Bear in mind that in determining the total drag of an object the coefficient of drag (CD) is only part of the formula. Total drag requires, among other factors, accounting for the frontal area as well. A Formula 1 car has a CD around .7 but will have much less total drag than a Lucid Air! In...

    Metal vs Glass roof

    The external metal would be thinner than glass, but there is most likely some webbing stiffener framework, an interior shell of some sort, and a headliner. It could total to be about an inch thick. Lucid could have made the roof "taller" by an inch to compensate? Pete

    Lucid super thin paint, problem?

    I've seen the video and heard the comments but believe me this has nothing to do with the quality of the coating system. I worked in the coatings industry for 38 years. Some of the highest quality coating systems available are very thin films. There is a huge amount of chemistry that dictates...
