I get that it's a uphill. I was excited at the time of delivery. With reading everyone's bright experience Lucid sales; I thought/expected they would be less despicable since their dealing with a more upscale audience but ultimately it's just the same as other auto sales. A big red flag should of been that the car was already outside ready to go.
On that day the Delivery Manager also said to "Just drive it and Enjoy the car"; "Customer care will take care of your concerns". Of course that was a "sales tactic" as this is just ultimately to rid their hands to avoid any responsibility for the car's imperfection and failures.
"Brushed it off" for me means he said the car was good and didn't bother going through the exterior with me at all and just pushed me inside the car.
I've caught the windshield crack on the spot; at first they denied it and said it was filled it to my face inside the car. I got out rubbed my finger on it and theyre's a crack / hole on the windshield. Thus they were held liable for the replacement.
I should of been more aware of their intentions and of course microscope the exterior throughout by ignoring any of their tactics to get me take the vehicle off the lot.
For anyone else out their taking of their vehicles; don't let them guide you want to do at Delivery inspect the entire exterior of your vehicle meticulously and point out ant flaws.
Then get inside inspect the interior ; from their you would finally proceed to setup your profile.
Yeah they were ready to deliver me a brand new car with a crack in the trunk from closing something on it. Ridiculous. It was a glaring flaw. I refused delivery. I can already imagine their god awful leasing company just destroying my wallet for me to fix it in 3 years.
I have what looks like a test spray circle of paint on the inside panel where the b pillar is. You can see it when the door is open. It’s like the sprayer was literally testing out the pain on a less conspicuous spot. Weird.
Mine has some flaws in the way the metallics fanned out in the color coat, but based on the fingerprint I also found, and other defects I see on here, their painters are overworked or just not very good. Spraying heavy metallics like these takes a skilled painter and they don’t seem to have enough of them, or they’re rushing their guys who just quite caring. But it is true, and disappointing, that Lucid will roll cars out the door with obvious paint defects just to see if you notice.
