What technology and what is the basis for that? They are constantly developing their tech.

The 150mi range was based on having a better charging infrastructure, and was not actually his proposal for a new Lucid, just some number crunching. It was a very long and detailed explanation that you will miss if you just focus on the number without the context. In theory, a 150mi car would...

I use Google maps through CarPlay. I’ve never used a native navigation app, including Apple’s

My DA initially reached out via phone but I was unable to take the call. It took me 3-4 days of calling back (and even asking my SA halfway in) before I finally had a phone conversation with my DA. Was nice and not reading from a script, although he did make sure I had completed all the...

This is the AGT with Tahoe that initially sold me on the interior (I like the white but I’m going with black since my wife just got a Model Y in white).

Haha. No, I don’t think they would be too thrilled about that. However, I will note that Lucid has offered to pick my friend up from San Diego and drive them up to Costa Mesa to take delivery of my car. I double checked with my insurance and they said the car would be covered if I authorized...

To follow up on this, my DA confirmed someone else can pick up the car for me as long as they submit their ID and I fill out a form, even if I’m out of the country and if I’m financing (some weird initial comment my DA made that I asked him to clear up). I asked if they could just hold my car...

There are hundreds of posts debating this point, and I would say most believe the bill is clear that you DO need to take delivery this year to qualify for the tax credit: https://lucidowners.com/threads/7500-ev-tax-credit-update-with-new-bill.2120/

I’m also in SD taking delivery from Costa Mesa. Russell originally called me on Saturday but I missed the call. I tried to get in contact with him for three days and he finally responded today. Same info on delivery likely being in the last two weeks of December. I asked for home delivery but...

Yes, I still have an older Pure reservation and it will not allow me to select the Fathom Blue paint as an option, so presumably those who order now will skip the line. From memory, he said on the “reveal” recording they would start producing Pure at the end of the year so delivery by end of...

Yes, sorry. Typo

Just spoke with my DA and he estimates my Touring will be ready inside of the last two weeks of the year. I cannot imagine the Pure slipping through when they can only make 30-50 cars per business day and are prioritizing the AGT and Touring right now.

This is not something I made up, it’s what the IRS says.

You may need an attorney and a CPA if you intend to rely on this rule.

Offered to finalize Nov. 2nd and did so on Nov. 4th. Unfortunately my DA tried to call me at midnight Sunday AM (3PM PST / 12AM CST) and has been unresponsive since then, so I’m only going off the SA right now. Will update depending on what the DA says.

I think that’s a accurate assessment of the situation. It does seem like they have improved manufacturing significantly over the last few months, and it would make sense if there was a manageable number of customers who have checked all of the appropriate boxes. My SA has basically promised me...

Yes, that is technically the requirement and every state has their own laws. For that reason, you should consult with a tax advisor because there are risks involved with being wrong. It would have been nice if Lucid had the foresight to offer people placing 5% down.

Yes, absolutely. If you have already confirmed your Touring order with all of the preferred features (basically fully loaded except for Stealth and one of the less-popular interiors), my sales advisor told me today that you will get your car by the end of the year. Hope she is right.

Yea, that would be nice. Turns out the pick-up location is a bit further away than I would have imagined, so I'm considering all of my options. Would be nice to drive it down the PHC/101 though (Costa Mesa, CA down to San Diego). I will be moving back from living abroad with two kids, so it's...

Just spoke with my SA about Touring deliveries and she said two things fairly confidently: 1. There are multiple deliveries occurring at the Santa Monica location today and there will likely be a video of this released later. 2. Since I opted for all of the recommended features (basically...
