    WSJ Article on Loss per Car

    I wonder how the 0% money factor funds on current Lucid leases are figured i in this financial equation? The Air Pure is less expensive to lease than a 5 series BMW today. I doubt they can continue this for long.

    Sirius XM Beta ended?

    If you note this week's latest OTA update mentioned some fixes and handoff updates for Sirius in the download package... Maybe this is related?

    Prices dropped again

    I am in same position as you... if I know I could hav gotten DD Premium with camera views for a few dollars more I would have done so... That said, the lease deals right now are quite exceptional.. You cannot least a 60k BMW, MB or Audi for same payment I have on my Pure, and they would all want...

    RESOLVED Service Dept Overload...Great Outcome!

    I got my car back yesterday.. A very good experience... Everything seems perfect, and the staff at Beverly Hills could not have been nicer. Loved having the GT loaner for 9 days, but surprised that I do not really miss it much after getting back into my own Pure... In city driving it feels...

    Air Pure AWD...No More Coming in 2024

    It appears that they have been strategizing model production carefully.. Excess inventory of higher-line cars... Move to Pure and make intial cars in AWD because it might fit into initial production line easier.... Now they have temporarily shifted new production to Pure RWD. I also wonder if...

    Air Pure AWD...No More Coming in 2024

    Lucid is easy compared to Porsche... Been there and done that, and the Taycan is total pain to order.... The Lucid process has been a bit clunky but we all know it was a start up... I had an early 300 deposit, and got the 'upgrade at original pricing" push a couple of times. That seems sort...

    Air Pure AWD...No More Coming in 2024

    it might be that DDPro is not going to be option on Air Pure for 2024 which is why it is greyed out.. Might be available on leftover 2023???

    Air Pure AWD...No More Coming in 2024

    Yes. Three versions of the Pure (4 with Sapphire) is enough, and the overlap with AWD did not make sense.

    Air Pure AWD...No More Coming in 2024

    Not sure that removing AWD option from Pure is intended to do that. However, it does bring a question about why they did not come out with an aggressively priced RWD Pure earlier... Their focus on 100k plus versions for first year did not help them with conquests, and now the entire auto...

    Air Pure AWD...No More Coming in 2024

    I assume this will help them differentiate between models and makes base model RWD only.. Makes sense now that prices are lower for Touring and Grand Touring... It also explains why they are still pushing these particular cars as 2023 models.. If Lucid ever really got traction this would make...

    Air Pure AWD...No More Coming in 2024

    Excuse me if this is already known, but wanted to share.. I just came from Lucid Beverly Hills and had nice chat with their reps.. They explained that Air Pure AWD will not be available as 2024 model.. .. You can order and spec a 2024 Air Pure RWD with your selected range of options, but if...

    RESOLVED Service Dept Overload...Great Outcome!

    Just as others suggested, things must have gotten juggled in the service queue, because I just got a call that my car will be ready for pickup tomorrow... I have had outstanding communication with the service team, and a week with an Air GT loaner.... all good.

    RESOLVED Service Dept Overload...Great Outcome!

    That makes sense, and they probably need to juggle a bunch of cars with various issues and parts needs. ..As mentioned I have a Grand Touring loaner in the interim, so its easy to live with.. I see you are also here in L.A.....Do you take your car to Beverly Hills Lucid location?

    RESOLVED Service Dept Overload...Great Outcome!

    I made a service appointment for my car in mid September and got a November 1st date.. I have a recent Air Pure AWD, and the issues were not urgent. The main issues were weatherstripping, interior trim, frunk sticking, and trunk fitment.. I was happy to wait for the appointment, but assumed...

    From an EQS to Lucid Air Pure with base DD and SS

    I have to add my experience as somebody with an Air Pure without DDPro.. Obviously do not have 360 degree cameras in my car, but never knew what I was missing... I am driving a Grand Touring loaner this week and think the cameras are so fantastic, especially for parking and maneuvering in tight...

    Lease Discounts for inventory or Demo cars possible?

    Actually if you price out Model S lease right now against the Lucid Air the lease payments will be lower on Lucid Air--regardless of window price.. Tesla's lease money factor is higher.

    Lease Discounts for inventory or Demo cars possible?

    I have leased nice cars for most of my life...You either pay down some cap reduction or have a higher payment... Hard to have no drive off, no interest and a low lease payment... You pay one way or another. I actually put down less money on my Air Pure and let them hike my monthly payment a...

    Lease Discounts for inventory or Demo cars possible?

    I just dropped my Air Pure off at Beverly Hills location today and the showroom rep told me there were likely going to be "additional holiday season" discounts at any minute. I also think the leases under the prior Sept-October promotion period were incredibly good deals... The money factor...

    Unreliable speed limit displayed

    Yesterday for about 10 miles on the 405 in L.A. my speed limit read 35 MPH... suddenly it corrected itself to correct limit, but wondering how this works?

    Phone Charging Locations?

    I searched for this topic but did not find specific mention of rationale for two phone docks in console, with only one is actually set up to charge. . Why put in two docks if only one is functional?... I assume it was a change of plans after design??
