I agree the curvature of the window is probably what is resulting in the perceived tilt. The reflection of the HUD lens on the windshield resulting in artifacts isn’t helping either. It would be nice if there were a tilt/rotation adjustment similar to the vertical height adjustment (which is still too high). Fortunately, I have not noticed any jiggle.
I talked to my SA a little while ago and he confirmed what many of us have thought. Lucid has been more focused on these random batch builds and not focused on fulfilling orders because they are hoping that many of the order holders will compromise their order spec and just take one of the available vehicles. Problem is, that even if I could find a compromise vehicle I might accept, 90% of the available vehicles come with a $2000 additional delivery fee. Sorry but this seems like a money grab to me.
There’s no way an SA would know this or the strategy. They’re relatively “low level” employees at Lucid. Not trying to sound like an a-hole, but only more senior folks would really know.
Agree.
It was not said as an official “Lucid Statement” but rather dropped off handed while discussing my frustration in order fulfillment and the random cars on the Available Vehicle site. He did mention a meeting with Lucid management discussing order fulfillment. Basically, orders placed after September should be told don’t expect until 2026.
Ok. Well, if that means they still have meaningful backlog for GGT, that’s great.
They tried 3 times to get us to compromise
I had a similar experience at the Roswell SC with my car being delayed twice over the course of a week. In my case it was some faulty sensors in the steering column preventing Dream Drive from engaging. I was frustrated and disappointed with the delay. I felt this should’ve been caught at the factory. However, having read about all the issues with fobs, drive units, etc. I told them I want the car 100% right when I picked it up, and to take the time necessary to make it perfect. Fortunately, I only live 10 minutes away. I’ve had the car about a week. So far, so good. There are at least 30 cars on the lot at Roswell. I think there were 4 or more customer deliveries on the day I picked up, and more cars coming inbound rolling off transports. They’re delivering cars all over the southeast, not including Florida, so they’re very busy. I know the wait is frustrating, but it’d be more frustrating to return the car from 4 hours away. FWIW, the Roswell SC seems pretty well run. There were some other minor issues with my car, like Sirius not working, that they fixed on the spot.
I think I’d want to know which battery pack and location in the car. I wouldn’t be thrilled with the seats and carpet being removed, but the battery is a critical component of the power train, so hopefully the car is designed to get to them somewhat easily.
When did we start believing car salesmen
QC is non existent I swear. There are so many of us that had broken car delivered on day one. My own, personal experience, is that Lucid will deliver you a broken vehicle and fix it later if you don’t catch them.
It seems one of the key issues for QC is several items don’t fail immediately. So, they don’t drive the car enough to find the real items and they’re rushing to deliver. Given the issues, while not standard, they should probably hold each car for a week or more after production for a longer period of testing. They could also stop production and deliveries for now, but they’re not mug ping to do that.
No way. Maybe once they get the pack it’s a week to install. It’s a massive thing that’s challenging to ship and they don’t just keep extras lying around. They’ve been way off on timing for shipping parts for my car and for others here and the battery isn’t just a window actuator.
they've been doing it this way for years. They have the QC policy they want.
