Current delivery lead time on custom orders

[L-Dude]

I have decided to lease a Lucid Air Grand Touring (it is more fun to write that out rather than just use an acronym ). I can't take delivery of the car until early June, so I am trying to figure out how to time the placing of the order. I'm wondering if anyone has any insight into how long current orders might be taking.

I would be happy choosing from Lucid's "Available Cars" list, but one of the features I must have is DD Pro (I'm coming from a car with excellent lane centering and don't want to give that up). As someone in another thread pointed out, almost no AGTs are currently coming up with DD Pro, so I'm not comfortable waiting and hoping that a DDP-equipped car will show up closer to June. I also want the aluminum roof option, and I'm not seeing any of those either.

So the question is: When do I need to place my order? Thanks for any insight you may have--this forum is an outstanding resource!

Custom order lead times are very much unknown. When I did mine on the Lucid AT 2025 in August, they couldn't tell me when it would be ready with any accuracy. Eventually one of the reps told me that they don't necessarily make custom orders on demand. Your car eventually comes off the line with the specs you wanted, and they give it to you. I'm not sure if this is true or not, but my experience for communication during the custom order process left a lot to be desired.

This thread is similar to your ask - https://lucidowners.com/threads/cus...ring-conflicting-delivery-expectations.10341/

I would simply go in with eyes wide open if you go the custom order route. You will be given a timeline, most likely will not get it within that timeline, and communication will be sparse at best. If you're mentally ready for this, then the process won't feel bad. Eyes wide open is the main point here.

I just spoke to my sales rep. If I order today, we're looking at June/July for a custom order. So 2-3 months.

I placed my order today. We'll see how it goes.

Congrats on your order! Like everyone says in these forums, the drive is absolutely amazing and it'll be hard to go back to another vehicle.

2-3 months sounds about right. It could be sooner or could be later. But at the very least, you're ready for whichever way it goes.
