    Returning my Lease soon, a few questions

    I did just get a CarMax bid, but its stupid low in my estimation., They are not aggressive buyers of Lucid's. I will be curious to see what BofA offers as buyout... I actually sold a Macan to AutoNation used car buying group for 2500 more than CarMax offered about 18 months ago

    Is The 2027 Air Announcement Imminent?

    That would make them rely on the Gravity as only product for the next year.... That would be tough.... It would also tank resale on all of the Air returns hitting them. I don't think that is likely.. They could tighten things and simplify production by limiting to two drivetrains or some...

    Returning my Lease soon, a few questions

    Once again...it appears that Car Max is not interested in Lucid.. Just curious if anybody has actually gotten a buy quote from them

    Vote to bring back old seat belt logo cos new one sucks horribly

    I agree that it is ugly, but I have gotten used to it.... They might revise with the major update downstream

    Possible Sign of Service Improvements

    My source told me that it was going to be a service center... not necessarly a full-fledged studio, but he might not have all details.. He said they are going to split up some of the BH team to new DTLA location and hire new techs to cover needs in both locations

    Stuck on Navigation Screen

    For second time since last update 2.10.0 my lower screen stays stuck on map view when i want to access climate control screen.. Pressing Fan button does not open the climate screen as is typical. I have fixed with soft reset twice, but this seems to have only recently occurred after...

    Lucid is Nuts….

    I feel the same way. Before my Air, I owned several big sports sedans, including multiple Panameras and a BMW 850. The Air stays flatter, goes faster, offers more interior space, and delivers exceptional comfort. That said, I think it naturally appeals to older drivers—myself included—because...

    Layman perception

    In some parts of L.A., Lucids are actually pretty common. There are three Fathom Blue Airs at my club, and the other day I accidentally got into someone else’s car thinking it was mine. Meanwhile, one of the best things Lucid could do right now would be to issue a clear, affirmative...

    A good way to check battery health?

    Is there a way to get this information for a car not registered with Lucid owner credentials by just using VIN.. It would be a great tool to screen a used Lucid to ensure battery health.

    Is The 2027 Air Announcement Imminent?

    I'm in a similar position.. I have a '23 Pure AWD and like it, but updates and improvements have been made since '23, and tweaks could be in store for the '27.. .. Bear in mind that you can also extend your lease up to 5 months at same rate and amortization.

    Is The 2027 Air Announcement Imminent?

    Thats good news. Was it a "pull-forward" lease into your gravity .. as I know that program would waive 1k in damage if you started a new lease early.

    Is The 2027 Air Announcement Imminent?

    They really need to improve lease return programs to keep current Air drivers in a Lucid.. Attrition due to bad lease experience is unforgivable . One of my friends just gave up on leasing another Lucid after dealing with Bank of America $2k+ wear charges-- and his car looked very nice to me.

    Buying your Air at lease-end

    Thanks for the update. I have one more payment to make, and then I’ll reach out to see what their best buyout number might be. I like my car and know it well, but I do wish it had surround-view cameras, soft-close doors, and a few of the other features available on a later model Touring. If I...

    Santa Cruz Interior experiences

    I have often thought that the Santa Cruz presents as the most beautiful interior theme.. As I ponder getting my next Air I have considered Santa Cruz, but concerned about the maintenance with light carpets and rear seat. Curious to hear from those who have lived with it..

    Air HVAC Buttons Glare / Reflection

    I have not experienced this issue... Does it only occur with glass roof?

    Chinese Tires-- Anyone taking the risk?

    Pilot Sport EV has been OEM for Lucid 20" on Air... They have worked well for me. 23k on fronts and still have original rears at 26k.

    Is service overwhelmed?

    The Beverly Hills location has wash rack.. I have only had field service for past year or more, but when they washed my car there a couple of times it came out looking good and free of scratches. The good news is that they are splitting that location into two hubs... They are opening a new...

    Years of Persistent Software Failures - Lucid Air Software Team’s Incompetence is Unacceptable

    Unless it is a fairly recent build, it will not have the newer chip. Also, a large portion of the used Airs hitting the market are coming off lease. Lessees, including me, are not going to spend $950 upgrading a car they are about to return. I am not even sure Lucid upgrades the computer...
