Gear shift fell off..

[Hbaeuerle]

So i charged Lucid Air in garage then reversed it so I could back out and park in driveway so that my wife could charge her car later.. when i put it into D in driveway the gear shift fell / broke off.. thankfully i could put car in P when i opener door but i did sit there for a while wondering what to do..
called service who will tow my car.. car is 9 months old so i rule out wear and tear (6000 miles only)..

This is the first time that I have seen that. Let us know what service says about it.

Do you have Hulk strength? The moulding is clearly broken.

Think we can put this in the “shit happens” category. This is the first time I’ve seen this since the cars release so definitely not a widespread problem.

Hopefully service gets it fixed and back in your driveway asap.

I'm with Rogue here, the plastic was clearly broken and didn't just fall off.

Ha! I was just getting ready to ask the OP if his name was Bruce Banner!

Well yes i never claimed it „fell off by itself“. I reversed out of my garage then put it into Drive at which point it fell off… it should be sturdier. My previous BMW, Audi, MB never had this issue… when i got the lucid the handles on cover in the trunk literally came apart.. then the front left wheel mould came detached.. they have quality issues.. my app never works.. despite doing the whole wifi/bluetooth pairing over and over.. not really complaining since i knew it was a new EV.. and i do absolutely love driving it.

Not a single thing on my car has broken like that, either the gear shift or the trunk handles. I lost one rivet in a wheel well but that happens to every car I’ve ever owned.

Could someone enlighten me on what a trunk handle is?

I think the OP meant the slightly recessed plastic handle on top of the folding well cover inside the trunk.
