    Lightning strikes twice. Two blowouts yesterday.

    sorry to hear about your blowouts. One of the reasons I opted for the 19" wheels. Low profile tires suck. I am still leery on the 45 profile of the 19". Time will tell. BTY, don't forget to get a wheel alignment done too. I guarantee it's out of alignment after suffering that wack job.

    Here’s a new one

    If I were you I would report this to the NHTSA (Nation.al Highway Traffic Safety Administration) even if you get resolution from Lucid. You have Bonafide evidence of an injury caused by a design or operation of a motor vehicle. It might result in a recall to fix. I'm sure others may have...

    Ordering and Delivery: Lucid Air Grand Touring

    As far as the RED cars on the forum, there has not been a VIN assigned since June 16 (other than canceled orders). It now looks like the RED cars are out of vogue. There may be several reasons for this- they ran out of red paint, or the assembly line manager is color blind and thinks red is...

    Ordering and Delivery: Lucid Air Grand Touring

    Sorry to hear about your car. You have been royally screwed by Lucid. It is clear their PDI process is a failure in your case because they should have found your problems at the factory as major as this is. If I were you, I would demand: 1. a new battery pack 2. a new Wunderbox 3. a new...

    Ordering and Delivery: Lucid Air Grand Touring

    Nice car. Beautiful car. It has the exact same specs as my order! Did you go through the regular process from confirm to delivery or did you request a delay in delivery? You confirmed 2.5 months before I did and I am trying to forecast my delivery timeframe.

    Ordering and Delivery: Lucid Air Grand Touring

    I agree, you hit the nail on the head. No information is better than negative information. They are hoping their stock price stays high enough before they have to announce 2nd quarter production level because they know the stock will drop like a brick when they do, and they don't want the stock...

    New member - Charlotte, NC Upgraded from Touring to GT

    I agree your color was the primary cause of the delay and the PDI fiasco also contributed. Even still you were a long time from confirmation to delivery. I am 18+ weeks since confirmation and still no VIN, and I have a pedestrian RED/Santa Cruz/19" car. I have reviewed the Forum Tracker and...

    New member - Charlotte, NC Upgraded from Touring to GT

    Not a chance for a long while will they have a studio or service center in Charlotte. Atlanta, with a metro population over 6,000,000 ( No. 2 in the Southeast behind Miami), has no studio or service center, although they apparently have a ghost service capability that no one knows about. In...

    Costa Mesa Service Center

    Ditto for me too. Being in Charlotte, this "service center" looks like the one my future car would be sent to. Yet, as noted, there is nothing from Lucid about this place. Even with my discussions with my DA nothing was mentioned about this place as a service go to. My DA even alluded that...

    Ordering and Delivery: Lucid Air Grand Touring

    So you took possession of the car at the Tysons studio from the Chicago service center? Why didn't you have them deliver it directly to your home? The staff at the studio probably can't service your car in any way, so I don't see the point of taking possession at the studio unless you live next...

    Ordering and Delivery: Lucid Air Grand Touring

    Does Tysons Corner now have a service center, or were these cars delivered from a known service center for delivery at the Tysons studio? I am confused. The Tysons Service center is not supposed to be finished until the winter 2022.

    Siemens to buy into Electrify America

    The article states they will have over 10,000 chargers (read stalls or plugs) installed in that same timeframe, nearly triple the number they have now.

    Road Trip Report

    Glad to see you enjoyed your drive on the BR parkway in NC/SC. I have driven those roads often and enjoy the cruising time on them. That being said, if you really want to have a spectacular road ride you should take highway 221(Blowing Rock Hwy) from Linville NC to Blowing Rock NC. It is...

    Grand Touring Tracker (Archive)

    You are probably right. 4 weeks from the vin date to delivery is much too short for a routine production pathway in this current production and inspection environment. But I would guess that PSTom got the cancelation instead of someone else because he lived closer to a SC than someone else...

    Also congrats to PSTom! I don't think it has to do with anybody he knows, but I think it has to do with where he lives. PSTom and I confirmed on the same day, 3/1, he got his VIN on 5/16, and now his delivery on 6/15. I have yet to get my VIN. And PSTom and I have the same GT specs except he...

    Maybe the 21 inch were a bad idea

    Could you give us a little more detail on your tire/rim failure? Such as how fast were you going, how big/deep was the pothole, was this a front/ rear failure on the same pothole, road surface conditions, etc. I would like to know so as to avoid a situation like you encountered. Also any...

    Lucid Motors launches Lucid Financial Services

    Agreed. Bank of America is doing the loans and leases, and their rates are not special for Lucid owners. You get the same if you walk into the branch cold. And their rates stink compared to credit unions.

    Battery Sizes - New information for Pure AWD / RWD

    It isn't the same. The Dream Edition uses Samsung battery cells which have a higher energy density than the LGChem battery cells used in the GT version (and likely more expensive). With the same number of modules the Dream gets 6 kwh greater capacity. Because the GT Performance has a capacity...

    I too am wondering the same thing. I am wondering if your car is being delivered to your home has anything to do with it. Cars being delivered to your home will be much more expensive than being picked up at a service center. I am 685 miles from the service center in FL that my DA says my car...

    charging at EA

    I agree. Based on the charging study done by InsideEV, over the charging cycle of 0% to 100% you only gain about 6 min. in charging time going to a 350 KW from a 150 KW charger. Plenty of time for a pee break, a cool drink, or a nice massage! The only advantage with a 350 charger is if you...
