    Need Help with Lease Anxiety

    Well you do you. If buying a new car provided guaranteed peace of mind, we wouldn't need lemon laws. From a purely financial perspective it is very difficult to justify the purchase of a new luxury vehicle, EV or otherwise. I find peace of mind in knowing that my used AGT; which I own free...

    Where is UX 3.0 for the Air?

    Most of the communication around this occurred in Q1 and referenced late summer or fall. There was a push to get some social media press around 3.0 with some reports on expected features. I know that Engineering Explained did a video on the topic before his vehicle was reclaimed. It was...

    Lease Return Warning / Question About Lucid End-of-Lease Inspection

    The challenge with a lease is that you have no real input on the remedy for damage at turn in. The area in question is plastic so I don’t think a repair is going to be feasible.

    Need Help with Lease Anxiety

    I bought my 2023 AGT last year with 7K miles and a spotless history. I’ve had no issues during my ownership. The prior owner had it for 21 months and took a $100K loss. For the price I paid I could have bought two and it would still have been cheaper than the original MSRP. While there are...

    Need Help with Lease Anxiety

    My last lease was 20 years ago. As my understanding of finance grew I could no longer justify the transaction. You are essentially renting someone else’s asset. At the same time I did not want to take the massive depreciations hit on a new car. So I found a sweet spot. I buy (with cash)...

    Will marketing finally make a turn? Ex Hyundai executive hired by Napoli

    The EPA does not drive 75-80 mph in their range test. Your confusing range with highway driving distance.

    Will marketing finally make a turn? Ex Hyundai executive hired by Napoli

    Notably both of these individuals are founder CEO’s with a tight grip on the vision and leadership of their companies. The visionary behind Lucid is long gone. And I suspect, based on a career of leadership roles in Fortune 100 organizations, that the Board and company leadership haven’t been...

    Giant Windshield Crack

    There’s simply no way to ascertain why or how the crack appeared. And the fact that the car was out of your control for 6 days probably doesn’t bode well in placing responsibility on Lucid.

    Another Recall?

    Flagging this as a “recall” while perhaps technically correct, seems a little misleading as the remedy is nothing more than a software update. I think when most people think of a recall they consider it to be something that has to be repaired at the dealer. When Apple identifies security risks...

    Cautionary body shop tale

    If the extent of your issue is paintwork, you shouldn’t be limited in where you have the work done. The issue is when parts are needed. I have a touch up specialist that takes care of scratches at a fraction of what a body shop would charge. They have no issues in doing small fixes on my...

    Sirius Radio Sketch Connection

    This is correct. Lucid relies on a cellular connection for Sirius. You will have instances of not being able to receive a connection in cellular dead zones. It was for this reason that I cancelled my car subscription for my Air. If I have good reception and want to listen to Sirius I do so...

    Where is UX 3.0 for the Air?

    I did extensive research before purchasing an AGT last year. Nowhere in any of that research did I come across anything that said or suggested that FSD was imminent. And I’ve seen nor heard anything from Lucid that would suggest otherwise. I suppose you might have relied on something relayed...

    Knock Knock, Lucid… It’s the Air Owners. Remember Us? 😂

    Given the prior announcements around a fall 26 launch of UX 3.0 I suspect that the majority of the development work is behind them. While delays are entirely possible, there’s no reason to believe it won’t be released in the near future.

    I sold it.... =( .... Can I still hang out with you guys?

    This one showed no apparent issues although it did have a battery replacement in its history. Some may see that as a plus. I suspect there will be more used inventory available as warranties expire. Most of us have been spoiled by having little if any out of pocket expenses. We should have a...

    I sold it.... =( .... Can I still hang out with you guys?

    The car in question had about 80K miles and is out of warranty. A combination of miles and age factored into the bid price.

    Target $0

    If you don’t understand why a company, any company, would choose not to comment on their stock price absent extraordinary circumstances, then maybe buying individual stocks isn’t for you.

    Nobody left working Lucid Support? (Also, dark pattern hold music.)

    FWIW. If you have a legitimate legal dispute with Lucid you will do yourself no favors by attempting to litigate it here. Any attorney worth his fee will give you the same advice. And if you are represented by an attorney the company should be speaking to him/her and not you directly.

    [Suggestions] Software features from other brands that make sense

    Attempting to be all things to all people is futile. My must haves may not be the same as yours and vice versa. As a baseline I want things to work. More often than not these days features overshadow functionality. Case in point, who would have thought a door handle would be a cars Achilles...

    Target $0

    Having a great product is only part of the equation. To survive and thrive you have to execute. Leadership, financial performance, manufacturing, marketing, human resources, customer service and a whole host of other things. It all matters. The best companies win, not necessarily the best...

    Target $0

    Why would you assume that the company is hiding something? The stock price is down because there are more sellers than buyers. When that changes the price of the stock will go up.
