Air to Gravity trade-in

[HC_79]

This announcement doesn't mention anything about Lucid's own cars not yet being accepted for trades, although Customer Service told me yesterday that currently only non-Lucid vehicles were accepted.

Again, I’d take what is being told to you from CS like a grain of salt. We’ve seen time and time again CS Reps go rogue and just talk out their a**

The story you’ve been told is completely different to the story I’ve been told so we just need to wait for Lucid management to actually make a communication on what the deal is.

One of the reasons I post such things when I see or hear them is to see whether other posters have different information. Just because I post about a news story or something Customer Service told me doesn't mean I necessarily take it as gospel or that I am attesting to the accuracy of it.

As for waiting for Lucid management to make a communication, we've seen the cursory information Nick Twork put out on "X" almost two months ago. Why Lucid would be communicating such a program on social media instead of first through its website and its sales and customer service teams is beyond me . . . but not really surprising given their marketing and communication track record.

I've sent an email to a senior Lucid executive asking for clarification. I'll post any answer I might get.

A few weeks back I posted about an internet article that quoted Rawlinson as saying "more advances" were soon to be revealed about the Gravity, and several people jumped on me for posting from such an unreliable source. It turned out that the article was the only one that had correctly picked up the comment from one of Rawlinson's own social media posts that no one else on the forum had yet noticed.

I really don't see the problem with posting things for which we give the source and letting the forum then do with it what it does: look at it and debate it every way from Sunday.

To be fair, Lucid has no one else to blame but themselves for the speculation that’s happening in this thread / forum. The lack of communication on a car that has now gone into production is absolutely appalling.

I got an email from my sales advisor overnight to come see the Gravity in person as it’s been doing the rounds. It’s been doing the rounds for months, this isn’t new or exciting information related to my order. The emails I’ve received about my “reservation” because let’s be real, that’s what it is are a bunch of nothing burgers.

My gut response from the latest email was to simply reply “Cancel my order” and move on.

I deleted my X account after Twitter became less reliable on facts.

Thus, I would prefer Lucid to announce the "trades in" via email and its own website and not X that got about 700 views for the past 2 months.

We banned that source because while in this case it had correctly achieved the discovery of one scoop, every single other article posted here from that source was speculation or factually inaccurate. It's a tabloid that got something right once.

I'm not complaining about banning that site, and I haven't looked at it myself since I found out its reputation.

The point I was making is that posters here should not be discouraged from posting about something they heard from Lucid Customer Service, read in an article, or saw in a video if it relates to Lucid. If the information is wrong, there are plenty of people here to make that case. It's different if a poster insists what he posted must be true simply because he heard, saw, or read it.

But every time I post such information, I give whatever source for it that I have so that others can look at it themselves, and if I don't have a reliable source I say so. I might sometimes make the case for why I think the information is correct, and sometimes I'm right and sometimes I'm wrong. But I don't discourage other posters from putting it under the microscope to test its veracity.

FWIW, my email to Lucid about the leasing program was not answered. But I did call my Gravity delivery advisor in Miami to see if he knew anything about a trade-in program in Florida. He gave me the exact same details about the program that I heard from the Customer Service rep at HQ. So if it's a story someone pulled out of his ass, at least two of them have the same story up their asses.
