    Ordering and Delivery: Lucid Air Touring

    Mine says my Black/Tahoe delivery to San Diego is still on track for mid-to-late-December delivery. But we’re all hoping the trickle just magically turns into a firehose at this point

    Ordering and Delivery: Lucid Air Touring

    Yea, I don’t think Tahoe has much of a chance for 2022 but I hope I’m wrong. Even if they do get some out, total crapshoot on what exterior color people chose.

    Ordering and Delivery: Lucid Air Touring

    I just watched the videos and the operation is a lot larger than I realized. I think it’s fair to assume the newer cars being added near the new factory are Tourings. Not sure about the rest.

    Ordering and Delivery: Lucid Air Touring

    We have no way of knowing what those cars are. I suspect there are a fair number of AGTs and sadly a lot of defective cars they aren’t prioritizing fixing. Don’t remember what thread but I saw a post with pictures of some of these cars collecting an insane amount of dust. Maybe comparing...

    I have little hope for Tahoe but my DA is still saying it’s on track

    Ordering and Delivery: Lucid Air Touring

    Mathematically, it’s concerning that so many have been told middle of Dec VIN assignment, which is less than three weeks away, but only a handful of Silver and White AT orders have actually received one over the last three weeks.

    Ordering and Delivery: Lucid Air Touring

    Oh, dang. I have the same configuration so I’m hoping that getting it to SoCal isn’t too hard for them. I talked to my DA yesterday and he indicated I was still on track for EOY delivery. The DAs must have relatively detailed information on their end about each person’s car, the way they are...

    Ordering and Delivery: Lucid Air Touring

    Same I for from my DA today, but my combo is Black/Tahoe. I said I was considering adding stealth if my order was already delayed until 2023, but he said that would change my pricing tier to current prices, so I’m definitely not doing that. I still have a pure reservation that needs to be...

    Ordering and Delivery: Lucid Air Touring

    I think it’s just for production efficiency. Painting the exterior with a single style of paint seems less burdensome to change out required equipment on the line. Although plenty of the Interiors have been manufactured and installed for the AGT, they are also different for the Touring, so this...

    Ordering and Delivery: Lucid Air Touring

    My DA also said they are a bit in the dark. So far only white cars have progressed other than the silver, so hopefully that’s true.

    [URGENT] $7500 credit for current reservation holders

    Regarding point 1, it doesn’t hurt to ask Lucid for a refund. Regarding point 2, this is the subject of much debate on the other tax thread: https://lucidowners.com/threads/7500-ev-tax-credit-update-with-new-bill.2120/page-27 I think your assessment is correct but many others will disagree...

    Ordering and Delivery: Lucid Air Touring

    Suggestion: When you talk to your DA, ask them what color/interior Tourings they are seeing with VINs assigned and/or delivered. They are unfortunately in the dark on a lot, but they do still have access to that kind of information. I selfishly only asked mine to tell me when he sees a black one.

    7500 EV tax credit update with new bill

    The reason people keep bringing this up is because the IRS provided guidance that specifically called out liquidated damages here (copied below): https://www.irs.gov/businesses/plug-in-electric-vehicle-credit-irc-30-and-irc-30d What Is a Written Binding Contract? In general, a written contract...

    7500 EV tax credit update with new bill

    It’s tax law, which I intentionally did not study in law school. This debate has been going on like this for over 500 posts now and no one will know until someone like the IRS clarifies or we see someone lose/win their case against the IRS trying to claw back the credit (you can sue the IRS and...

    7500 EV tax credit update with new bill

    I’m not an accountant or Tax attorney, but the letter of what the IRS posted so far says that confirming the order before the new rules and taking delivery after (no end date) means it counts as being delivered in 2022, so that’s your 2023 tax filing and he’s actually not wrong. This is of...

    Ordering and Delivery: Lucid Air Touring

    I think it's fair to feel that way; I would too. I think that's just unfortunately a side effect of us all sitting here trying to watch the sausage get made behind a fogged window. Some more transparency would be nice but at the same time they have already cut their targets so much they don't...

    Ordering and Delivery: Lucid Air Touring

    Looks like White may be on deck next, since we now have two members progressing at the same time. My DA texted me to say they had no updates but believe my Touring (black) will go into production any day now, and that it was their understanding Lucid is building sequentially from reservation...

    Peter Rawlinson interview with Andrew Keen

    In the video, he talks about licensing being part of the plan. He also notes they are now up to 300 cars per week and has plans to be at 1M cars/year by 2030. It’s going to be tough, but it’s part of the plan, not just making cool tech.

    Peter Rawlinson interview with Andrew Keen

    Tycans have terrible range for a higher sticker price. I know plenty of people who decided against one for that reason alone. For now, this is the market Lucid is intentionally competing in, and they are doing well on a number of levels. Something like half of the cars in the US are SUVs, so...
