Good to know about the tint suggestions. I'm not really wanting to tint but if it came down to it I would. I also like the idea of pre-cooling. I will probably go for the glass canopy. It really does add to the uniqueness of the car.

Also done in one piece here. Received car in early August when DFW was having 100 degree days. It was too hot in the car, and after the heat protection film on the canopy and windshield it was a world of difference.

I agree with your approach, don’t proceed with heat protection film until you feel the heat.

Where did you have yours done? I believe his tint contractor is Chino Window Tint

I did HuperOptik for the entire car. Agree with the above post that if you do the windshield as 2 pieces you get a line. I hid the line in the visor area, so not noticeable unless you are looking for it. I wanted as dark as possible for the roof, and legal limit for windshield (30%) is a lot less. I did that (30%) for the windshield, windows and rear window, as dark as possible for the roof. Personally, I found without the tinting of the roof it was miserable, but it is your personal desire for glare, light and heat that will decide it for you. With it the car is much more comfortable for me. It was $1500 for the entire car, using i3 (HuperOptik's top of the line brand) here in DFW.

Today I attended car Show organized by Gulf coast Auto Shield and Google in Wheel Time Radio show. Got a experience with different exotic car. My Lucid was also there but PPF work is still in progress. I took a simple about 1min video and shared with Texas Lucid Owner Telegram group. So if you are not part of Texas Lucid Owner Telegram group then you can join. You can find link in this thread shared by @hydbob

I spoke to my sales advisor today and upgraded to a Touring from a Pure. During the conversation I inquired about the Plano location and was told they expect it to open sometime next month. I'll be glad when it opens so I can finally get a look at the interior of a Lucid! I've seen a DE driving around the Park Cities a few times but thats it.

My kid goes to UTD, I’m looking forward for Plano retail space. Last couple times I didn’t find it at Legacy Center was disappointment.

After PPF I picked up my car today thanks to John Grey (Gulf Coast Auto Shield Houston ) and his team for the nice job.

May have to push Lucid to open up a studio or service center in Austin yet! Tesla here already, now Rivian with a service center...

Adding to Austin EV hub, Tesla-rival Rivian opens center for services, deliveries

Electric vehicle company Rivian is expanding into Austin, with a service center that will double as a place for customers to pick up their new rides.

Silicon Hills of Texas, with so many tech coming, after Tesla, Facebook is also coming. How can Lucid have 12 service centers / studio in California, but only 1 service center in Texas? Totally missed out.

Polestar, Tesla, Rivian all major EV players are here. Also Austin Travis county is highest density of EVs in the state with population Ver green conscious.

Curious, someone in this thread get the PPF with satin finish on their Lucid in Austin? I called up Xpel Austin, they said that they were doing a PPF job with that satin finish on another quantum gray Lucid. I know that matte look can be polarizing but I think it could look absolutely fantastic on a Lucid - now I have decisions to make!

 

[smartebiz]

I see roof is pretty good and it is also tinted by factory. I'd like to enjoy great view of nature therefore not decided to do over tint, You can do it later if needed cost about 300$ -600$

I have done with PPF and got good experience. Prime XR plus recommended for Windshield and Roof also Tinting is so light (70) that all are visible during night also. Advantage it blocks UVA and UVB and Super Heat rejection. but no difference in visibility and looks clear.
My recommendation do it once PPF with ceramic coating and all glass tinted including roof.

Please also note I have added screen protector to the screen in the dash from the PPF shop
