Wouldn’t visor be covered under warranty?
Chips are normal wear, you shouldn’t be charged for that.

What windshield charge? Unless I’m missing something the itemized list here is all he is being charged for:As a shareholder and potential lessee I am finding this thread to be pretty scary.
I have a vested interest in the company doing well but the OP’s windshield charge seems totally egregious to me.
Hiring 3rd party extortionists to trump up lease return charges is not the way.

Thanks @liggy - you are right, that is not my lease return. Mine was for 3x <.1" marks on the (very) large windshield, and a mystery problem with the passenger sun visor.
Still nothing back from Lucid. I suppose I will call back again in a week. Seeing that emailing the CEO just gets more pushback, I suppose the next step is to pay their bill. It's not an issue of being able to afford it, it's just the principle of it. I would not lease another Lucid without guarantees in writing that this kind of lease turn in was not waiting for me again.
Pardon the confusion @onexcite posted the same message in two threads, so I think my confusion is warranted.@californiaboy935
And to answer your question- yes you are indeed missing something. You're conflating the OP's charge with a completely different lease return. The report in your post is not from the OP.
Unsure why you're so determined to defend these charges as continuing down this path will turn away potential customers.

Not sure how me arguing that the sky is not falling will turn away potential customers. Differing views are what make the world interesting. If we all agreed what a boring world it would be.
To lend you some contexts as to why I’m defending Lucid, here is a Tesla lease return invoice of a friends model 3.Your confusion was understandable. Warranted? That's a matter of opinion.
And defending this practice is not in the best long term interest of those of us that want Lucid to thrive. There is direct evidence of it having cost a few leases right in the lease return threads.
Just because someone else does it does not make it right.
Also just because one company does it does not mean it's industry practice.
So your defense of charging a paying customer $1450 for some fly spec defects in a windshield is that Edolf is doing it and getting results like this?To lend you some contexts as to why I’m defending Lucid, here is a Tesla lease return invoice of a friends model 3.

See if you can identify in the photos what you see reflected in the bill. I can’t, and neither could he. No discount was offered and he had to pay. Tesla seems to be doing fine.
Additionally, it seems like getting an invoice weeks or months later is also standard “EV” practice.

Seems like Lucid’s inspection is a lot nicer and actually shows the person what they identified versus a line item. He also said a debt collection agency was who he worked with when disputing and not Tesla, so maybe it seems less involved if Lucid just took their name off the financial services side of BofA.
