Lease return process

[kganti2002]

Just checking on how the lease return process has worked for prior owners ? I am due to turn in my lucid Air touring in next few days.

There have been some recent threads on this. Overall it seems better than a year or two ago in Terms of nickel and dimeing every little thing. The pre inspection seems like the way to go.

Haven’t heard anything from unreasonable since they changed the undercarriage scratches thing.

other than needing to drop the car off at a distant service center the process wasn't bad for me

I was annoyed that they charged me $575 for this tiny tear in the seat bolster, it's barely even visible from a normal distance. Is it worth fighting?

Seems like they'll charge some amount. Unclear how much is reasonable.

I know. They say regarding upholstery: "Any tears, cuts, holes, or burns, regardless of size" so it meets the guidelines, but it's like having to make an extra lease payment for a tear so small I never even noticed it, leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

They would've covered that under warranty. I had two random rips in my seat and they fixed it both times no questions asked. It was clearly a defect in the material.

Was this a final bill after car was returned? They are well aware that PurLuxe material has a durability issue and have handled replacement under warranty for countless owners.. I would strongly contest it, as the photo shows a breakdown of the material between perforations--as opposed to a cut or inflicted damage. Fight it.

I will try to fight it. They also flagged the tiniest chip in my windshield on final inspection (in a non-visible location when in the car) and said I need to replace a tire too. The two inspections were just a week and <10 driving miles apart.

They seem to look a lot harder for nitpicky items in the final inspection then in the courtesy pre-inspection.
