    A very frustrated 2026 Lucid Gravity owner journey

    I'm sorry to hear about your negative experiences. If I can ever close on the 2027 AGT I'm trying to acquire, I will be nearly 3 hours from my nearest service center. I've been assured (via verbal statement a Studio rep) that the mobile service in my area is very good and that the Roswell, GA...

    McLean VA awful service and I am done with Lucid

    In the early 80s, while serving in the USAF stationed in Germany, I ordered a Ford Escort GT through the Army and Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES) military car sales program. When my new Escort arrived in-country, I picked it up. It was a super fun car and the first of its kind in Germany...

    Need Help with Lease Anxiety

    For the 2026 AGT, there's a $15K credit available for lease or $5K credit for cash. For 2027 AGT, no credits period (as of today, anyway). Just a moment ago, a 2027 showed up in the inventory with all my specs as "Available In 4 Weeks." Going into a lease with ALL the options I desire...

    Need Help with Lease Anxiety

    Getting what I really want--a vehicle with DDP--is where I think I'm at after sleeping on it and reviewing everything that's been said in this therapy session. :) Since I'm getting the AGT, road tripping is implied. I appreciate the ProPilot in my wife's 2020 Nissan LEAF, which makes longer...

    Need Help with Lease Anxiety

    I've purchased two "like new" used vehicles. Both were single-owner Ford trucks with clean histories, low mileage and good values. I felt lucky.

    Need Help with Lease Anxiety

    I just put together a small spreadsheet of all the vehicles I've owned since my first car--a 1978 Datsun B210GX hatchback. On average, I've held a vehicle for nine years. (Twelve vehicles in total, not 11 as I originally posted.) The outlier was a 1994 Geo Metro, which I had for 20 years. The...

    Need Help with Lease Anxiety

    I've read a number of stories about lease-return surprises. In most cases, the cars we've owned--even those we had for more than three years--were pretty much showroom ready when we sold them. And while we took great care of our cars, there's not much you can do to protect against trash and...

    Wise approach. I just can't seem to find a used one with all the bells and whistles I want.

    19" Aeronaut Stealth Wheels Disappeared from Configurator

    Agreed. I think the wheels are really sharp. But to your point, dropping them may have been related to their popularity and of course the desire to simplify configurations.

    Need Help with Lease Anxiety

    Greetings, all. No, I’m not looking for therapy. Not exactly, anyway. I’ve ordered a 2026 Air Grand Touring from inventory. It’s one feature shy of my ideal configuration (DDP), but I’m committed to the idea that I’ll eventually get an AGT with the next generation of ADAS. Since 1978, I’ve...

    Air Pure vs Grand Touring in 2026

    I believe the Pure or even the Touring are the smarter, more practical choices. However, I’ve rationalized that if I’m going to spend a ridiculously stupid amount of money to get from Point A to Point B, why not make an extra ridiculously stupid decision and go all the way on features that...

    Is The 2027 Air Announcement Imminent?

    Yes, I do have to pay transportation from San Jose, CA (where my order sits) to Roswell, GA. It’s priced at $1,495.

    Tidal App Streaming Quality

    Unless I am mistaken, online Lucid reviews mention Tidal support via native app in the Lucid UI. This thread implies the same; however, I cannot find Lucid mentioned here: https://tidal.com/supported-devices?category=auto Perhaps I am misunderstanding the level of Tidal support. Is it via...

    QUESTION How many here are lease Gravity compare to buying them

    On Friday, I placed an order for a 2026 Air GT. I’m leaning toward leasing for two reasons: (1) There was no AGT inventory with DD Pro and (2) the incentive for a cash purchase is paltry compared to the lease incentive. I’m rationalizing that, when my lease is up, a new and improved AGT with a...

    Target $0

    I picked up more shares today. While I don’t yet have a vehicle (my 2026 AGT lease application is not fully approved), I appreciate the engineering behind Lucid’s amazing vehicles and the company’s potential. Of course, I also appreciated the engineering behind the Betamax videotape format, the...

    19" Aeronaut Stealth Wheels Disappeared from Configurator

    I may compromise on my configuration and go with an in-stock 2026: Blue with Aeronaut Stealth (which looks sharp, but efficiency reduced) instead of red with Aero Range Stealth (great combo), Mojave instead of Tahoe interior, and no DDP. Will review colors again this Friday in Roswell and decide...
