- 2025 Lucid Air GT
Not sure if my post belongs in driving dynamics but my overriding impression is that the driving dynamics of my 2025, which has Aero Blade wheels are quite positive relative to my 2023 that had 19 Aero Range wheels. I will order a set of Aeronaut wheels/AS tires when they are back in stock.
Unfortunately my 2023 AGT was totaled in a rear end collision in late June. It was declared a total loss in late July at which point my options were limited on a replacement. I could not order a 2026 Air AGT and none close to my preferences were in stock. I also could not order a 2027 AGT in late July. I decided on a 2025 AGT from the Lucid pre-owned program with 6500 miles that was close to my former Air in color and options but does not have DD Pro. In service Sept 2024 so less than two years old. It does not a have even a minor scratch or any other sign of wear. I am particular about such things and this car is like new. I enjoyed DDP on highway drives since it was available and will miss it on long highway segments. I will not miss the take control urgent red warnings that would appear seemingly randomly or take control warnings when I had both hands on the wheel and my eyes on the road. No doubt that it will improve. They were both distracting when in heavy Interstate traffic. FWIW, I did two 2000 mile cross country drives before hands free was active and spent many years with no such aids.
My overriding impression on my 140 mile drive back from Tyson's Corner Studio where the delivery attention was superb is that the 2025 is better in every respect. There is a Lucid temporary service center about 45 minutes from me and their mobile service was been great. It seems to me that the throttle response is much sharper. The front motor mounts noticeably reduce the motor whine at low speeds and there is zero body flex upon exiting my driveway that has a bit of a dip at the street. The regen dial is now a line at the bottom of the instrument panel. There may be other minor changes but so far everything is seamless, including CarPlay. I have not spent much time on configuration so may be missing some helpful settings. Of note is the small section on the windshield to the right of the rear view mirror on which I mounted my EZ Pass and gate transponders. Both are thankfully out of the driver's line of sight.
The assembly process has improved meaningfully over the early builds, or at least compared to my 2023 built in 2022. As we have experienced with OTAs for four years, Lucid is making improvements albiet perhaps not as fast as some may want. There is no other vehicle that I wanted.
