Great response from Lucid. My car dent was on the sculptured door crease on the passenger side and could not be repaired by paintless dent repair. It is in a Lucid authorized body shop and should be completed within a week or so. They were not sure how it would be repaired...repainted, etc. so my only questions were "will it be noticeable and not listed on a CarFax". I can only assume that it will be unnoticeable and, obviously, I will do a long inspection when I do get delivery. I will be out of country until the end of the month so we setup a delivery date on Oct 30. BTW, even though it is scheduled for a Nov 14th recall, I asked if it was possible to do the tow hook repair and ensure my software was 2.0 or the latest. I have not had a reply on that yet.
Lucid did offer me an identical vehicle that was in California and have it to me this week before I left for vacation. I opted to keep the original car and wait it out for another month since I would be gone, and the VIN was given to my insurance company and motor vehicle dept for registration. Not hard to have changed but I did not feel it was critical and they have already done my 19-inch wheel modification to this vehicle.
As many of you have said, it is frustrating to have the car here but not delivered but Lucid has demonstrated that the customer is paramount, and they want the car delivery to be perfect. I have retained my Model 3LR and sold the Model S so eagerly awaiting this baby!!!!
With the trending recession issues and market heading for a new bottom, I think Lucid understands how important it is to appeal to a small segment buying luxury EVs and their personnel are stepping up to the plate. Patience, grasshopper is true for sure.
