Most of my customers are going to Beverly Hills for servicing, and then down to Costa Mesa if Beverly Hills is too busy. I do know that Lucid is actively scouting locations in LA for another service center.

I see this type of damage probably more than anything else on the Lucids we repair in my facility. Common symptoms that can come up after bottoming out hard in a pothole or striking a curb/driveway is that the A/C stops working, and faults begin to display on the cluster regarding the turn...

I had a great time meeting all of you and it makes me very happy to know you all care very much about the Lucid brand / your vehicles.
