Damn AGT Service Loaner

[gavram]

I've had my Touring for 2 years now and think it's a really great car and have been looking forward to holding on to it for several years. It's in for service at Coldwater MI and they provided me with an AGT service loaner for the week...I now wish they had provided me with another Touring instead as I'm having some major jealousy!

This is my first time in an AGT and seeing that extra 100 miles of range available on the main screen and using the massage seats for the week has me not wanting to give it back.

That being said, I've never even come close to running out of battery in my Touring due to only using it around town. I think it's mostly that the level of available range showing on the AGT screen reminds you how unique it is in the EV market, vs. seeing somewhat standard EV range numbers in the Touring.

Other thoughts after using the loaner:

• Using the key fob only, as I've only ever used my phone key in my Touring and wasn't able to add it to the loaner, feels almost old timey in comparison
• It's around 20 degrees here and not being able to preheat the loaner car reminds me that I haven't had to get into a cold car in the winter for the last 2 years due to owning an EV...I definitely could not go back to an ICE car now
• I don't really notice the HP difference between AGT and Touring
• I have 20's and I think the loaner's 19" wheels ride a bit smoother. That being said, I'm just not a fan of how they look vs 20's or 21's and couldn't make the move despite ride and range
• It's neat to experience another interior. I have Santa Cruz and the loaner has Tahoe. I really like the dark wood on the Tahoe dash and the camel leather looks great. I'd probably still go with the lighter Santa Cruz interior, due to personal preference, but I'd be good with Tahoe as well
• Assuming the glass roof, the way that Lucid made the interiors so similar makes you feel that they are all premium regardless of model

I purchased my Touring but, if I had leased, I'd be first in line to buy a used depreciated AGT after the lease was done. Also, thank you to Coldwell MI service dept for making the service experience so seemless despite living 300 miles away.

I have a GT. I keep hoping to get a different trim as a loaner, just to compare. The one time I had a loaner, it ended up being a Mercedes EQE. It made me miss my Lucid.

I originally drove and ordered the Pure but then there was a used ‘22 AGT listed here that I was seriously interested in and I went back to the Studio to drive the AGT. Very expensive mistake. The used AGT and the new Pure were virtually identical in price. I test drove an ‘25 AGT and it blew me away. And on said test drive I found out about all of the mid-cycle refresh things they did starting with the ‘25’s. The moral of the story is the same as yours, I guess!

P.S. I cancelled the order for my Pure and went with the ‘25 AGT and will NEVER, EVER drive a Sapphire!!!

Lucid did this to me but with a GT-P that we ended up driving for close to two months. It has been suggested that I could get a test drive in a Sapphire if I really wanted one (at least my interpretation). Fair enough to say I said no because I want to enjoy my GT-P until I am in a position to get the Sapphire.

Wow! What is different and better in the 25 AGT. VS the 22?

Efficiency in a word. I believe there is a thread on it.

WHY ARE WE NOT TALKING ABOUT THIS MORE????

I have posted in several other threads on the Forum about my recent journey from driving a 2018 Tesla Model 3 Performance for the past six years to ordering Lucid Air Grand Touring (including this thread) and rather remarkably, I only learned of some SIGNIFICANT improvements to the Grand Touring starting in the 2025 Model Year AFTER making the decision to buy a 2025 model rather than trying to save some $$ on an earlier model year. Even my wonderful Lucid Rep at my local Studio (Alexxa Irizarry) did not mention the majority of those listed...
