Gravity Delivery Discussion

[Ron_Burgundy]

So I am not too happy with Lucid. I got called by my SA last Friday 8/15 stating that my car is done production and is preparing for delivery. Delivery will be done by the end of this month. She asked me to look start looking into auto financing and give her the info once I get a pre approval. I got my credit pulled this week and got some pre approvals. Now I reached out and I am being told it's on the wait-list and probably will be shipped after 4 weeks. All the pre-approvals expire in 30 days. I am upset that my credit report got pulled for no reason.

Sorry to hear this. Not sure if you asked or read on forum, but there’s no need to do any finance or lease work until you know they have the car. It can all be done quite fast and, unfortunately, your situation is quite common. A couple of folks did get Lucid to accept approvals that were 30+ days old if it’s Lucid doing the financing - so you also push them on that.

Unfortunately Lucid cannot offer me financing as I live in WA state. The only reason I went through the whole process of applying for the loans is because my SA herself called me out of the blue congratulating me and asking me to get started on the loan process ASAP. Ugghh...

If you haven't done so already, you might want to read the "Gravity Bugs & Issues" thread. It's possible your car is delayed while Lucid sorts out some of the issues that owners such as myself are experiencing.

Doesn't sound like your credit report was "pulled for no reason". You are pre-approved by your financier. For my financing, Lucid just wanted to know the name and address of financier along with amount being financed.

I don't know the details of your situation, but it sounds less "upsetting" than getting your car on time with issues that will likely upset you even more. Take your pick. Lucid is trying to deliver a quality car to you.

That sucks but in the end, if you get the car in 45 days you won't get an additional hit on your credit. Last I read the window used for car loan inquiries is 45 days so you can get re-authorization as soon as the pre-approval expire.

I dealt with something similar. I explained to my SA specifically because of what I was told and they needed to get it on time. They were…until the last minute (I was literally in the parking lot when they called to cancel the appt).

The credit union I went with sent me a check written to Lucid and me and I had to sign it over. A week before my delivery date I finalized the loan and they sent the check so the few days my deliver was delayed turned out to be a non-issue.

Not sure how your bank does it but maybe they do the same so it will be okay?

Also, if it helps any, my delivery was delayed by two weeks and I wanted to lock in my interest rate. My credit union asked for a buyer's/purchase order. Lucid sent me the final invoice that provided the info needed my credit union, including the credit union as lienholder, dealer license number and address, and more.

Loan approved. Certified check for the portion of purchase price financed was made available to me once car was ready for delivery.

Maybe find out what your financier needs and proceed from there.

SA says we have a vehicle attached to our order with delivery mid Sept into October, but he’s expecting the earlier part. No VIN or dashboard update.
It’s Bronze with HUD, so I’m guessing meats back on the menu
