    Sideswiped my garage door frame this morning. Insurance vs. Out-of-pocket + DFW shop recs?

    Same. They covered my AGT with no issues. It’s by no means cheap and I suspect it may be state and case specific. I’ve been with the company 5+ years, have a clean claim history, and multiple policies with the company. I’m very cognizant of the fact that a claim with the Lucid could bring...

    Sideswiped my garage door frame this morning. Insurance vs. Out-of-pocket + DFW shop recs?

    Unfortunately any repair requiring parts, and this one does, will have to go through a Lucid certified shop. With regards to the decision to go through insurance or pay the cost on your own, it’s a tough call. A claims adjuster won’t be able to tell you the impact this might have on your...

    Engineering Explained has proved he is biased…how pathetic

    By continuing to post responses and reactions you're actually helping drive his engagement. Which when it comes to on-line content is all that matters. It's kind of like Las Vegas, the creators don't care if you like or dislike what they put out as long as you play.

    Will Lucid take Cosmos reservations?

    Selling cars to brand enthusiasts is not the same as selling a mass market vehicle. My Air has been relatively problem free. However, the handful of times I’ve had it in the service center have been to fix production issues (trim issues, wind noise, squeaks and rattles, etc.). I had a couple...

    Will Lucid take Cosmos reservations?

    Lucid’s short term focus should be on producing problem free Air’s and Gravity’s. Because right now any mention of a new vehicle will bring questions on its software reliability, production quality, and service center availability. Lucid needs to improve its capabilities in all three areas...

    Front Camera Fault

    It's a common issue in hot climates. I'm in Phoenix and will see this same fault at this time of the year. The camera in question is behind the windshield. When the temperature climbs above 100 and the car is sitting in direct sunlight the front camera will shut down as part of its thermal...

    Potential Buyer with Service and Software Questions

    It sounds like you’re in the very early stages of researching whether an EV is right for you. I would encourage you to continue that effort. With regards to your comment that EV’s are like iPhones, I would say no. Yes they do incorporate software for things like driver assistance, cameras...

    Lucid Lemon Law

    This is a very important distinction. The decision to opt out of arbitration is not the same as forgoing arbitration. Opting out merely preserves your options if you find yourself in a dispute. Their can be distinct benefits in pursuing arbitration even if you previously decided to opt out...

    Lucid Lemon Law

    There are two organizations that handle arbitration and lemon cases for the auto industry; BBB Autoline and the National Center for Dispute Settlement (NCDS). The manufacturers will partner with one of these organizations for arbitration matters. They essentially operate in a very similar...

    Rude awakening on solar EV charging

    It will ultimately happen here. The auto makers have all but acknowledged that. You won’t survive solely focusing on the US market utilizing outdated technology. We’ll just find ourselves trying to catch up with the rest of the world.

    Rude awakening on solar EV charging

    Things could look very different in 4-5 years. Imagine a world where changing a car battery is almost as simple as changing a battery on a cordless tool.

    TCU not being covered under warranty

    I also doubt that the service department at Lucid would do a pre-purchase inspection (PPI). Not only do they not have the bandwidth but it also undercuts the value of their pre-owned program. If you want a used car that’s been fully vetted by Lucid, buy a CPO. Lemon Squad claims to do...

    TCU not being covered under warranty

    A third-party pre purchase inspection can also help minimize the risk and typically costs less than $300.

    TCU not being covered under warranty

    Over the past 20 years I’ve purchased about 12 used vehicles. Some, not all, have been CPO’s. But before I make a purchase I always review the balance of the warranty to determine its transferability and any unique characteristics. The software warranty language, in my experience, makes the...

    New to Lucid used owner Maybe?

    The challenge in your question is that it will depend entirely on who you ask. I've owned a used Air GT for about 9 months now. It has been problem free. I currently have a few squeaks and rattles that are being attended to by the service center. I've found my limited experiences with...

    Half-shaft bolt recall

    Agreed. I've got my Air in service right now for a couple of minor squeaks and rattles. It took a month to get the appointment and a week after being dropped off they still haven't brought it in to work on. My best advice is to get your service appointments as soon as possible because you'll...

    Engineering Explained joining the Lucid Lemon Club

    This video has undoubtedly garnered significant attention with leadership at Lucid from the CEO down. And I'm sure that when they discussed it the conclusion was not, "why didn't he deal with us directly offline?" I suspect the phrase most frequently uttered in their internal conversations is...

    TCU not being covered under warranty

    Read your warranty folks: What Can Cause The Warranty To Be Voided? At the exercise of Lucid’s sole and exclusive discretion, the Lucid New Vehicle Limited Warranty will be voided, and all warranty coverage hereunder will terminate in the event of: Failing to install required software updates...

    Air Transition to UX3, to be or not to be!

    Perfectly reasonable given the expectation that was created. I suspect we may be waiting a bit for clarity on a few things given the leadership transition and what the company is navigating through at the moment. That can be frustrating for owners but not entirely unexpected given what’s...

    Air Transition to UX3, to be or not to be!

    I suspect part of the reason has to do with the service backlog right now. Appointments are running 1-2 months out and that basically gets you a spot in the queue. Depending on the service you could be waiting another month before getting your car back. While offering the CCCv2 upgrade...
