Ordering and Delivery: Lucid Air Grand Touring

These calculations should be automated at this point. Electronic sales tax tables by jurisdiction are readily available, so they more likely miskeyed your address (I hope they are not manually entering your tax rate).
I have no problem with manual form entries.. in 2017 I bought a new car in Wisconsin but lived in Chicago where there are State, County and City vehicle taxes. They accidentally entered in Wisconsin sales tax (5%) instead of the correct local tax (9.5%) I didn’t realize it at the time but they sent me an amended purchase order a month after after I had already signed, so I “saved” a cool $4000. 😎

Nice win

I purchased a car in WI in 2016 and they miscalculated that sales tax.

A couple of years later I received a bill from the County for the difference.
 
AZ non-residents - I recently received a purchase agreement for my AGT and page 2 of the Arizona Form 5011 has a missing value for my state:
1662922705436.webp

Is yours filled in? Wondering how much of a stink to raise about this as it is an affidavit.

After sending this back for the second time (I called them with the same "blank affidavit" concerns), I called it a wash after they fixed two larger errors. In my mind, the affidavit doesn't mean a lot because if you are in Minnesota, it's going to be a tough climb for them to say you are defrauding them by purchasing the car to drive in Arizona. The bank didn't seem to mind at all.
 
Chicago updates
Saw my first Lucid driving on the streets this evening, a bit after 5 PM heading North a few streets West of N Halsted crossing W North Ave
After dinner did a drive bye of Goose Island. Eleven cars parked out front, may reds and a few whites. There was also an Intercity lines 18 wheeler with enclosed trailer parked out front. I expect some more cars will be offloaded tomorrow morning.
 
Seems like the login is enabled just before the delivery.I'm told My car is shipped to Costa Mesa center, I tried today and I am able to login to the app, I see a welcome screen and can download the car manual. Nothing else is enabled in the app at the moment.
when you got your login enabled (i see mine exactly the same way)...was the car going through PDI or was it just starting? When did they announce the delivery date to you? Thanks

I had a call the day before( Monday 5th), that the car is shipped, I don't have anyway of guessing if the car was at PDI yet when I tried to login on Tuesday evening.

I did tell the advisor on Monday that I'm leaving the country on the coming Sunday, and if it can't be delivered before Sunday, they have to hold on to the car for two weeks. The advisor said he is pretty sure it's gonna be delivered before Sunday. Not sure how that affected my delivery timeline.

They cut it really close and I basically got the car on Saturday, drove it for half an hour and parked it in the garage where it's gonna be for the next two weeks😕. I'm probably the only Lucid owner(or any car owner for that matter) who has ever wished his delivery was delayed even further🤪

Thanks @hamidh ...yeah totally makes sense...and yes you are probably one of the few dying to grab the Lucid just to have it parked...hehe...but once you are back that's when the fun starts...I suppose I can also expect mine this week for sure then. Mine was transferred to Scottsdale last Thursday
 
I just got word that my car is ready to be picked up as soon as tomorrow. Just need to get my funds wired to them tomorrow. Is that the fastest or doing an ACH transfer via my credit union?
My wire transfer from bank took only 1-2 days.

Wires are always faster assuming there is no snag with your credit union. I know with Bank of America, whether for work or personal, I've been able to wire money same day with the recipient confirming receipt of funds typically within an hour or less of me sending. ACH transactions can take up to a couple business days depending on the bank/credit union.

My contact as Goose Island seemed to point to bringing a check from my credit union would be the best thing.
He is working on getting the shipment from AZ expedited with delivery targeted by the end of the month.
He is also working on getting the bill of sale together for the credit union.
