Light colored headliner for Pure

[JohnP]

When we ordered our Pure model over a year ago, the factory photos showed a light colored headliner--see photos. In our opinion the light colored headliner make the interior feel larger and brighter. Recently this has changed, and our Pure was delivered with a dark Alcantara headliner, which we think is unfortunate, but there was not other option. We'd love to replace this with a lighter color headliner as originally depicted. Does anyone have any experience with this or advice how to go about this? Thanks so much.

Is the alcantara headliner standard for Pure now? I paid $800 for this option

I don’t remember that ever being an extra cost option.

For Pure models, it was an extra cost option. It was part of the Derek Jenkin's spec option. Standard was supposed to be the grey headliner.

It is standard now. My order was updated and removed the cost for Alcantara.

The Alcantara fabric is standard and has a nice texture--it's the dark/black color that is problematic. Makes the car feel small and, well, dark. Don't understand why Lucid made the change or doesn't offer the lighter color as an option. I'd change it if i could.

I assume it's a supply chain issue. They are probably having a problem getting the lighter color fabric for the headliner so they just made what they have standard.

Or it’s just easier to make every roof the exact same.

It was, but it was later made standard.

I would suggest that you go to an upholsterers shop(or you could ask an detailer, but chances of them accepting would be less), and then try to get them to retrofit a grey Alcantara headliner. Me personally, I think that looks would be degraded and there would be a natural level of risk to it.
