Yeah I don’t think the DAs are at the factory looking out the window at the assembly line, I’m sure much of the communication that they receive from management/factory is on a need-to-know basis, specifically because of all the rumors and speculation online and that the press vultures are always hungry to pounce on any problems, so I wouldn’t expect any crystal clear answer from a DA. It’s hard to be patient because you want the car, but it will come, and I think it’s awesome they’re slowing down some PDI things rather than delivering a messed up car. The crap that skates out of Tesla factories sometimes like wrong tires/missing USB ports/brake pads gets a LOT of press so I personally appreciate Lucid recognizing they need to do better with quality control and are trying to do something about it.
I was getting 32mi/hr straight off the 14-50 plug, good enough for me.
It's ONLY for the supposed V2H capability. And IF they can deliver on that, the value is so much better than installing a battery backup.
Yeah seriously, $15K for battery backup vs probably $1500 for Lucid reverse charger. Based on the Lucid’s massive battery I could power my house for a week off of it.
Yea like I said before, IF they can do it the Lucid is worth at least 100k just as a battery backup alone. When my solar was installed, a 10kwh backup system install was going to be 12k
Sorry to hear this, and it sounds like your oblique reference to "big QC issues" is something that many in the current cue for Grey VINS are going to feel. A couple of weeks ago my DA told me my VIN would be ready about now, but yesterday reported the news that he does not expect it until early June (he hopes). Obviously, we all want the QC issues dealt with prior to PDI as much as possible, and it's so much better for the company if they don't release cars that people complain about, so we just have to wait a bit more. Just sold my 2 year old Model 3 for 8k over original sticker, so at least that went well...So my car remains in purgatory, 10 days after arriving in Beverly Hills. There is a big QC issue going around (not sure I can get into specifics) that is delaying deliveries around the country. My car has passed PDI, but is apparently 5th in line for further inspection, so it'll likely be another week or so before it's ready. The grey delay keeps on rolling...
Yes. I think the overwhelming majority of people working at Lucid are being excellent brand ambassadors.
. It is indeed difficult to be patient when you are looking forward to something so much. It will certainly be worth it!!
The pencils have erasers on the end of them - they are little wedges and work extremely well.
My DA just told me the Lucid cable would do 40/hr on a 14-50...is that not so? But, you're right...I got 32 for my Tesla and it was plenty.
The issue has apparently been fixed. It affected about a week's worth of cars, so I'm guessing the supposed shutdown had something to do with the QC issue, but that is just me conjecturing.
We all want the deets!
I don't know that I'm at liberty to share. I don't know what was said to me in confidence. Sorry.
Agree 100%. As much as I want my car yesterday, I want them to get it right so it doesn't have to go right back to them to fix multiple issues.
It's really unfortunate to hear that, but I asked earlier and didn't get a response, did they change your car after your purchase order and not issue you a new one? Or was that something that wasn't done? Did you pay for the car using the purchase order with the interior you are getting or the one you wanted? Either way, there was a miscommunication somewhere.
I finally accepted the car as it was on the way to me... Or so Eugene told me. It turned out not to be true. The car was still sitting in Chicago, but I believed them, and it is true, I could have stopped it as recently as Monday. So that part is on me.
