Looks like about 150-160 cars sitting there.

I think @Firstto520 might be trolling us... (just kidding of course)

This is for XPEL Dallas on Prudential drive. Anyway, the full interior high end UV and IR radiation heat rejection ceramic window film was a good choice for me in the Dallas heat. I tried letting it bake in the sun at over 90 degrees and then got in without using the app to turn on the AC beforehand. It was hot, but not as bad as my other vehicles. It cooled down in 5 or 6 minutes to comfortable.

7 visible full metal roofs down to just 1.

Any chance those could be test cars of some sort? Variants of Pure or Touring that are undergoing some sort of crash testing, metal roof process inspection, etc?

Or could they be test drive cars that will be sent out for Touring / Pure reservation holders? So they can actually test drive the actual car they will be ordering.

Seems unlikely they would be customer Tourings, given we've heard of no one getting a VIN yet. And we expect glass roof Tourings to ship first, in any event.

Full car tint with 3M Crystalline was $1500 for me, 1275 would have been great!

So they are doing it for $1500 since I am their first Lucid. Normally costs $1800. This is for full XPEL Prime XR+ 20% all around and 70% on the windshield.

I wouldn't be surprised if Tourings began trickling to buyers - the glass roof has been a major part causing delays, and if there is a relative surplus of body frames in proportion to glass roofs, I see no purpose in delaying those orders from a purely business perspective.

BUT, more than likely just testing the build process to ramp up by Q4.

Might cause a stir with those of us who ordered GT and still have no VIN yet….

 

[Demosthenes]

I imagine there would be significant outrage if Lucid decided to start delivering lower trims while continuing to keep existing GT confirmations and VINs in the ether.

This is what happened with the DE’s too though..not every one was delivered (waiting on parts to finish them), and they started on the GTs. Not saying they will do that now, but they did do it before..
At some point they will have to start Tourings, can’t keep them waiting too, so at some point Tourings will be coming out before GTs do. Hopefully that’s not now, but the company needs to deliver cars and make money!

 

[PSTom]

Well, here it is! Arrived right on time this morning. We drove around town a little this afternoon. Now I know what they mean by “dream drive”

Agreed. I imagine there are quite a few Touring customers who reserved before some of the GT owners who already have a VIN.

I know the concept of a queue sort of goes out the window with mass production, but it's not like a person ordering a GT today should get their car before the person who reserved the first Touring. If they worked it that way, they'd never ship Touring. Or Pure, for that matter.

At some point, you put a stake in the ground and move on to the next trim. You have to.

Not saying that's today. But it will happen in the next few months.

 

[Demosthenes]

Good points. Forgot that trim level doesn’t correlate to reservation date! I was more thinking if they deliver tourings reserved after outstanding GT reservations, there could be some backlash. But so it goes

I hope anyone who has a VIN for a GT already will have their car well before any Touring is actually delivered. Let's put it that way. But there may be some Touring VINs assigned before all those specific GTs are delivered, is all I'm saying. Then we on the Touring side will join the masses of frustrated posters wondering if they are going to hit their new 10-14 week delivery promise.

I reserved a GT (delivered thankfully) and a Pure and not sure when or even if the latter will ever be delivered

 

[JimK]

Got my vin confirmation today 6/15/22
my order confirmation was 12/1/21

 

[oldnick25]

Talked to my DA today, and my VIN was issued yesterday 6/15, supposedly. I haven't received the official email yet.
He's hopeful it'll be delivered by the end of July.
