I'm seriously considering a 2023 GT model, but given the uneven reports around build quality, I was hoping to get a list of items to look out for in the test drive. The car would still have 12K miles and 1 year warranty left, but would prefer avoiding dealing with major issues/warranty hassle if they can be discovered before purchase.

Carfax is clean, but can't find any way to check service history, it's being sold by a 3rd party dealer.
 
I am also planning to look at a 2023 Touring + Dream Drive Pro + Glass Roof with similar miles for $10K less, which is pretty tempting
 
I think a 2023 would have itself sorted out. You'd want the CCCv2 and make sure the Dream Drive isn't the one that needs activated

Go check them out, make sure the HVAC buttons are good and the roof bow isn't peeling up on the glass roof and I think that's kinda it. You could contact Lucid service and ask about remaining warranty and service history. Some of them needed updated...coolant I think? Some sort of service campaign.
