My car has the 21/22 stealth wheels. When we took delivery the lucid person took the aero covers off the front right wheel at my request so we could see how the wheel looked without them. We decided to keep them on and he snapped them back into place.
I just discovered today that all the covers for that wheel are gone as is the center cap. No sign that anyone had attempted to remove the lug nuts. The car is always garaged at our home.
Has anyone experienced these just falling off? I have noticed some on other wheels slightly ajar and have bumped them back into place with the heel of my hand. We live in Atlanta and some roads are not the best but we haven’t had any tire damage.
I reached out to Lucid hoping they will replace them at no charge but no response yet.it has only been a couple of hours and I don’t anticipate hearing back until at least Monday, so no complaint there.

Sounds like it wasn’t fully seated when reinstalled.
I took mine off right away after reading the owners manual and seeing the 120mph limit.
This is for the Air.

Several designs of Lucid Air wheels feature inserts that reduce aerodynamic drag at typical vehicle speeds. These inserts are recommended to be removed before prolonged spirited driving to increase brake cooling and must be removed before driving at speeds above 120mph / 193kph. Failure to do so may result in the inserts coming loose and ejecting from the wheel, and potentially coming in contact with nearby people or property.

This. One of the magazines was testing an Air (on the drag strip?), and it shed a half dozen of its covers about 150mph.
 
Hah, never had it that fast (yet). But did hit 100 mph a few weeks ago. Maybe that was it?

Thank goodness the 20/21's have bolts to retain the aero covers or I'd have lost them by now
 
Hmmm. I asked the mobile service person about removing the covers on my Gravity GT delivered in 10/25.
He said they don't pop off, there is a bolt that must be removed first and then they can be removed.
I don't care to remove them and don't drive over 75 or 80 so no plans to remove them.
 
Mine are off in the 20/21. Cost $137 at the service center. Love the look. Will put them back on before winter to avoid salt and ice and other nonsense getting in there.
