They should just keep all those 22/23 in service centers as replacement parts for all the inevitable tire shortages in that size after the wheels are bent and curbed from potholes.
Until Lucid makes some official statement, I don't think it's wise to rely on a single Lucid employee, even a senior one. If I really want the ability to tow (and I do), I wouldn't rely on Lucid offering an upgrade on a purchased vehicle. They might. But they might not, or might not in the timeframe someone would like.
I was wondering about this…would they take them down for fixes they found they needed? I wouldn’t think the fob work would do it? If they found a tell for the drive unit problems? It is a bad look to have inventory grow, but it’s worse to not maximally advertise your product for sale. At least that is my perspective.
Guessing you've never had a car with bigger wheels/smaller sidewalls. It's nowhere near as bad as people like to make it out to be.
Unless you live in north where it snows and the big wheels come on summer only tires with no all season alternative tire to change to.
For “normal” folks they should probably highlight the rear wheel steering and show those wheels moving and mention easier navigation in tight areas, etc.
Understood. Just think it’s an odd configuration (to me). That said, after having DDPro now, I would absolutely not get it again and would get Premium instead, so the idea of “almost fully loaded” does make sense to me. The reason I wouldn’t get pro is I don’t need the unique features from premium, but at time of order those weren’t clear. All good.
DDPremium does everything Pro does except it won’t do hands free driving - which I really don’t need or want as I like driving most of the time. And it won’t recognize traffic lights - whatever that means in several years. And yes, it won’t have “FSD” - like capabilities whatever those are. But as someone who waited years and years for Tesla FSD after paying for it, I feel like a fool paying for DDPro (which I did).
Both really good points. And, for leasing, there's a very real question as to whether DD Pro will get better than Premium in the time you have the vehicle. For owning, there is a possibility that the DD Premium will be worth something - depends on what Lucid actually does with it.
Again, this is discussed in the tow thread. It’s from multiple sources in service, not sales, that it will be offered.
That's great. Let's hope that they sell quickly.
Interesting that that 26 of these (almost 1/4) have Tech Package but are mostly on middle to lower spec vehicles. Meanwhile those of us who place orders for GGT with tech 6-10 months ago are still waiting. This random, grab any part off the shelf without any thought to what the real world demand is approach, is getting frustrating. I guess the good news is that if they have this many random GGTs with Tech, the shortage of HUDs might be over.
the "story" people on here have been supposing (far, far too credulously IMO) is that there is some game of parts availability whack-a-mole at the factory going on where they are, say, out of mid-size wheels or DDPro hardware when the HUD shipment comes in so they build whatever they can with whatever they can grab off the shelf. I personally find that really hard to believe.
