Yes, I agree, money talks. If Lucid feels pressured to live up to expectations, for example, the number of cars produced/delivered by year's end, it'd likely take precedence over Air owners having troubles. And it's probably a contemplated and weighted decision when to ship car vs time spent on QA -- a completely random occurrence here would be worse.
I always contact both CC and SC to make sure. They're not good at responding back, and it especially takes long time -- weeks rather than days. Also, the SC never responds to emails -- and I like to have a track record. In the beginning, I called them to verify they had received my emails. My previous experience with dealer ships is that you get an email or text confirming service appointment, reminder the day before, notice when it's ready for pickup, and (perhaps annoying) grading the experience after pickup. Apart from telling when the car is ready for pickup, Lucid doesn't provide these communications. It's also prudent to always double check. It's even prudent to double check on trailer pickup date/time because mine no-showed due to the SC missed to schedule the trailer. I'm in WA and my understanding is that if the car has been in the shop for more than 30 days, for any reason, the lemon law applies. My AGT has been in the SC for 34 days and will get back in 01/19 and counting. I've created tickets with both CC and SC to declare my car a lemon. The SC responded last week that the manager handling the lemon law (they call it buy backs) won't be back in until end of this week. My AGT was delivered 10/13/2022 and since 10/14/2022 it has continuously had tickets or been in the SC. My latest escapade is that I had to buy speed bumps together with a decibel meter, see screenshot, and bring to the SC since to show them very obvious rattles because they failed to repair them.
