New Air Touring Owner

[chet_ripley]

Just took delivery of my Air Touring in Fathom Blue with stealth package and 20" wheels. This car was not on my radar but glad I found the competitive lease rates.

Was in the market for a BMW i4 M50 but the local dealer was not willing to negotiate. Went to Lucid and test drove the Air. Similiar performance but the space of a limo in the back. First EV and can definitely see what the hype is all about.

Welcome! The Lucid Air is superior to the BMW i4 in range, acceleration and room. Enjoy.

Very nice Air! Had my AT only 2 weeks now. Absolutely love the car. Don't get drawn into all the drama that you'll read here. Others also love this EV for years since purchase. Enjoy the ride!

My 440i Gran Coupe was totaled so I was looking into the M50. So much more room (cabin and storage) with the Air.

It’s a much better car than the i4, thank your BMW dealer.

I came from ICE BMW cars as well. Looked at the i4. Range was an issue. Very pleased with my AT.

congrats! '25 AT and I'll tell you that some of the key benefits are lucid-specific .. so not really an overall EV thing but a Lucid EV thing. Some (audi, etc) are using ICE chassis and putting batteries in them so they don't get all the benefits that Lucid has. great choice, enjoy!!

Congrats on the ride, the Air is 2 leagues above the i4, except the software. It's more equivalent to an i7 in terms of luxury, but much better dynamics. I am not surprised that the BMW dealer wasn't willing to negotiate - apparently the i4s sell very well.

Having to fight off charges for "StarGard" which is this decades "LoJack" is ridiculous. $1000 for StarGard that "can't be removed from purchase---sorry". I HATE dealing with legacy dealerships.

Emotional factor aside, buying from manufacturer is worse. With a salesman, if you catch him at the right time, you might get something out of him. When buying from a website you don't get squat, no matter what. I've always been able to negotiate a 5 - 10% off for the 2 dozens cars I had over the years. Buying from a website makes that impossible, so for me at least, it sucks.
