    Best Damn Car AND Best Damn Car Buying Experience. Ever.

    Just now saw this thread. I seldom stop by here. I hope OP is enjoying his AGT almost as much as I have enjoyed mine for almost 3 years now. Best Car Ever. My buying experience was top shelf. Yes, the sales contact was a little confusing at first, but everybody there was new back then and it all...

    Charges Too Fast!

    I would actually appreciate the ability to choose a lower charging rate manually. Lucid's portable EVSE is not adjustable, always offering its max amperage for the voltage it sees. The car will always ask for the max that the EVSE can deliver. Usually this is fine, but when harvesting a charge...

    Lucid Gravity Release candidate

    Unpopular opinion of the day: I have sympathy for EA's situation and appreciate the service they provide. Yes, their service has glaring flaws, but they do better than we should expect given how they came to be here as part of the dieselgate settlement. VW fulfilled their end of that and cut EA...

    SURVEY: HV Battery Replacement

    I answered 'Yes' but my battery was out to replace the recalled contactor that had not yet failed. I believe they replaced the entire battery assembly, not just the contactor but I'm not sure.

    1.5 years into ownership and I think I regret my purchase.

    Yikes! Sad to see some of us are having issues. My experience here in Texas has been quite the opposite. Over the past 26 months I had one service van visit for a recall (checking the data cable, it was fine). This Spring I did get the battery contactor recall but was dragging my feet about...

    2023 Q4 Deliveries

    Agree, but dilution is inevitable. Lucid is a startup in a low margin capital intensive industry. A typical automotive factory might cost $5 Billion. Lucid's first one is still being finished. The second one in Saudi doesn't have any fabrication capacity yet. The third one, for mid-size...

    2023 Q4 Deliveries

    The whole auto industry is in a slump. Financing is expensive and harder to qualify for. Combine that with industrywide declines in trade-in values and financing will be more difficult and costly for the buyer making an aspirational purchase of a Pure (stretching their budget). Many news outlets...

    Rear executive seating

    I would have gone for that configuration if it had been available, but actually glad that didn't happen. It's quite handy to be able to fold the seat down and carry longer things in the back.

    Thanks to those who made this website.

    Oh, I haven't departed. I've just been swamped with that IRL stuff. Still love my Air GT and flog it every chance I get. This forum is a gem, a great resource for those new to Lucid or altogether new to EVs. Forums don't run on their own and we're lucky to have people motivated enough to create...

    I REALLY miss my car 😢

    This was a 2011 LEAF and I got it 7 years ago. Some time back I gave it to my cousin's kid. She had a 30 mile round trip commute and that was about how much range it had left. she could charge at work. The cars build quality and ride were vastly better than I expected in a little car. The...

    I REALLY miss my car 😢

    I had just sold my Subaru STi, bought it for a track car but ended up only riding motorcycles on track, but then I needed a "rainy day" car for when I didn't want to commute by bike the LEAF was intended as a stopgap until I found something I wanted, but that little car won me over. Track and...

    I REALLY miss my car 😢

    Yes. We've been spoiled. It's just like that first EV years ago, a high mileage LEAF that I actually bought as a joke. After commuting in it for a week everything else felt old-fashioned and somehow unfinished. Now Lucid has set that hook even deeper. If I suddenly couldn't have a Lucid for...

    Q1 Numbers

    The earnings call turned out just about like I expected. The negativity and selling is just about as I expected. Lowball orders posted for tomorrow. Not worried at all.

    Cannonball Run ?

    It's a balance between velocity and charging speed. And lots of help from friends. Here's Kyles previous run, made in a Taycan.

    Ordering and Delivery: Lucid Air Pure

    Over 40 metal roof Airs were in the shipping lot at the factory this morning, could be Touring or Pure. Either way we should see more metal roof owners showing up on the forum soon.

    Shocking Two Week Review

    Could have been. I spend more time in fort Worth and the Mid-Cities though. With the Lucid Studio in Plano and the nature of that neighborhood I'm not surprised you are seeing them up there.

    Wind noise

    Interesting thread. I have had no wind noise issues but have noticed that, since the Air's cabin is so naturally quiet, any sound that does get in seems loud. I would like to try a dB meter in the car (or just wait for Bjorn Nyland's upcoming reviews). I know my 21" wheels make more noise than...
