New owner gratitude to the Forum community

[jedwin]

I just wanted to give a shout out to everyone here on the forum. Spending a few months here, prior to my final purchase decision and awaiting delivery, were invaluable in helping me establish realistic expectations about the car.

This includes tempering that pesky idealized sense of range and charging performance (especially in New England winters), but also in raising my expectations about how wonderful it would be to drive this car! Unlike most people here, I’ve always driven relatively modest vehicles, so both the performance and luxury aspects of the Lucid are brand new to me. Hearing all you raving about it got me even more excited about my Retirement Treat vehicle!


And even though most of the problem reports are edge cases, especially in the more recent builds, it’s been really nice to get a feel for troubleshooting some of that stuff—both commonly experienced issues, and the more dramatic on the road stuff that would be really disconcerting to go into fully blind. I probably went a little overboard in building up a couple of documents of “tips” and “troubleshooting” on various topics – but, if ever needed, those will become a good first source for me, before I dive back into wading through long forum threads.

So, thanks everyone. This is a fantastic community, and I very much appreciate the essential basic training I’ve received here!

I echo your comments. I am almost 4 months in and this resource has been invaluable in helping me resolve the minor pesky issues that pop up, and in understanding the many attributes of this wonderful car.

Welcome to both of you! This is perhaps the best forum I've had the opportunity to be a part of.

Glad to be of service. *That's* what this group of great people are really here for - to help each other and others. Although I joined the group before anyone got a Lucid, I was nowhere near the first one to actually get one. Some really great and smart people are here and I have learned so much from them/you.

Lucid has to love this group, too. I think it's safe to say that without the forum, many people would have had or would have a significantly worse ownership experience,maybe not buy one, or possibly have sold by now. Who knows, I might have been one of them without all of you!

Welcome!
Same here! I've owned my '23 Grand Touring since March but this forum in particular has been an invaluable resource for me.
I love my car and through the benefit of OTA updates, it continues to get better.

I couldn't agree more with the sentiments of the OP. I would have made SEVERAL mistakes configuring my car were it not for the discussions and sage advice i gleaned from here!
