    Anyone else encounter a strange tear in seat upholstery?

    If it looks like odd tear or deterioration Lucid ervice should replace it under warranty.... They have oem style seat covers and can disassemble seat in field to replace the cover.

    Help with Seat Stain

    I know they now have PurLux replacement covers, which have been needed due to proliferation of tear issues... Not sure about leather, but would assume there is a part number. Check with service.

    Buying a Lucid in the next 60 days

    Three years and no odor from PurLuxe, but have had tears, which Lucid replaced under warranty.. The material is comfortable, but if you plan on keeping the car for long term I would be wary about the durability of the synthetic material.

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

    Almost three years of ownership with no major issues. Yes, I’ve had the usual odd software glitches and some CarPlay annoyances, but I dealt with plenty of CarPlay nonsense in Porsche and BMW products too. It does seem to be getting better, and I still love the way the car drives. I did have a...

    Did production stop on the Air Touring?

    There has been some conjecture that Lucid may slide back new 2027 Air production until current Air inventory burns off. I don’t know if there is anything solid behind that, but one recent report used language suggesting Lucid may “hold back on Air,” and I’m not sure what that really means in...

    Lucid (allegedely) hires AlixPartners as part of restructuring.

    There was a comment in one of the reports which said they are going to focus on Gravity and hold back on Air... What does that portend for the Air's future??

    Lucid (allegedely) hires AlixPartners as part of restructuring.

    I appreciate Nick Twork clarifying that the AlixPartners engagement is focused on operational improvement and execution, not the darker rumors some people were assuming. That said, I think Lucid management should probably go a step further with a clear customer-facing message. This is not just...

    Air software version 2.10.0

    Makes sense... Maybe if they finally do redesign of the screen layouts and graphics they will find a way to improve the look, although if it happens this might only work for later cars or those with the updated processor...

    Possible Sign of Service Improvements

    I noticed that the Air service vehicle which came to me yesterday stll had original dmv registration tag on window from mid 2022. I am sure its on the road everyday -- so going on it's fourth year. I have seen Gravity service vehicle on the road here in L.A. too

    Goodbye and farewell after 40 months

    I used to consider that some other automotive entity would partner-up or absorb Lucid if the PIF stops their support, but given the unfortunate state of EV sales that does not seem like a likely outcome.

    Possible Sign of Service Improvements

    I had a Lucid field service tech out today for a minor trim issue, and the crew was excellent — an experienced tech paired with a trainee. That seems to suggest Lucid is adding at least one more mobile service person in the L.A. area. They also mentioned that Lucid is planning to open a...

    Buying your Air at lease-end

    At this moment, it is $45,100. but could possible negotiate lower buy-out--However, they won't discuss discount from residual value until last payment is made. However, I see 2024 Tourings with same or less mileage in same price range, with more original warranty in this price range. It is a...

    2027 Air?

    I was hopeful for some updates on 2027 Air, but agree with what others have said here.. Lucid is doing what they can to get to higher efficiency, while working on multiple new products... I don't think they will do much with the Air, but it would be relatively easy to offer some new color...

    Evercars.com?

    I have seen their listings too. It is possible that they are an authorized agent for Lucid's used inventory rather than a full-on dealer.. Need to see if they are listing some of same cars that Lucid shows on their preowned inventory

    Buying your Air at lease-end

    I’ve been leaning toward leasing another new Lucid when my lease ends in September, but the Lucid resale market has me rethinking that just a bit. It looks like I could get a low-mileage 2024 Touring in the same price range as the residual on my 2023 Pure AWD. I like my current car and know...

    Thoughts About Negative Posts

    Most car owners are not active on forums. I mentioned earlier that I personally know a small cluster of four other Lucid owners, and none of them participates in online groups. Their observations are much more basic and practical: the Air is low and wide, which can be inconvenient in everyday...

    Returning my Lease soon, a few questions

    I am set to return my Air the week before you. I have an Openlane inspection set for first week of July... I just want to see if they need me to get tires or other fixable items handled --as opposed to getting charged for them upon return. Bank of America has a terrible reputation regarding...

    Thoughts About Negative Posts

    I like my car. I’ve had a few issues, but service has been good, and overall I think it’s a great machine. I know a few other local Lucid owners fairly well since we all belong to the same club, and everyone seems generally positive about their cars. The most common complaint from the group are...

    Is The 2027 Air Announcement Imminent?

    I started out wishfully hopeful that the 2027 Air might bring a few meaningful updates and perhaps some fresh color choices. But with the recent management changes and significant personnel cutbacks, I am less confident that Lucid will devote much energy to refreshing the existing Air platform...

    Is The 2027 Air Announcement Imminent?

    I am waiting for the 2027 update too... I have been getting their "pull-forward" emails trying to entice me get out out of my 2023 and into a new 2026, but don't see an Air available or currently in their pipeline which fits my spec entirely--and there is no active online configurator for...
