Ordering and Delivery: Lucid Air Grand Touring

[EricM]

The ordering of deliveries is a bit odd. Unless folks are not updating, there appears to be little rhyme or reason on ordering. I have seen people with my options and color (also Zenith Red w/ Tahoe) within days of my confirmation with a car delivered.

In my case, I want the delay with late December being just fine for me. However, there are folks like you who definitely want their car sooner rather than later. A real head scratcher...

Yeah I’m guessing they’ve got some revenue maximizing algorithm in play here. People who ordered after the price increase AND can pick up their car at a Lucid location provide the most revenue per unit. Those of us who ordered before the price increase AND live far from a Lucid location (requiring home delivery) are the lowest revenue per unit.

I took delivery of my QG/Tahoe/21” at the Boston studio on 9/28. It has some panel alignment issues near the front, an alignment problem with the trunk, and a few door trim pieces that don’t quite line up. It’s all pretty minor stuff and I’m confident it can get fixed by mobile service.

I took the car up to Vermont for the weekend. It’s a lot of fun on long trips. The ACC is very good at its job. It’s very easy to control the car at highway speed. I think one of my tires came misbalanced from the factory though.

I’m very happy with the car. Anyone on the fence should get on the correct side of it

Could you let us know what interior color you chose?

Santa Cruz
In the tracker there are newer Silver orders than mine so I’m not sure that changed my timing.

My silver car was not on the tracker list despite several attempts and posts with my March 30, 2022, confirmed order for a CS/SC, 19" wheels. I got my VIN a week ago and my DA told me today to expect home delivery this weekend. I am in NH. My DA has been very informative and responsive.

That's a fast delivery. I got my Vin late last week and they only said the car would get to Chicago sometime this week. I am in Virginia and they had no guess as to when it would get here. I would not say the DA has been informative or responsive. I didn't get any communication from Lucid until the Vin call and I tried to post a message on their site but they never responded. Even now I have no contact info for the DA other than callerid from the one time he called.

Have been lurking for a while but figured I should also get my car into the tracker. My DA has not only been non-responsive but really has no clue what is going on. Said my car was on the ground in West Palm Beach, only to do a "hold on" and then says "My mistake, your car is not out of production", this was over a week ago. Really hoping the angst goes away when I finally get "The Call".

AGT - Zenith Red, Tahoe, 21"
Reserved: April 2, 2022
Confirmed: April 12. 2022
VIN Assigned: September 9, 2022
PAID: September 26, 2022 (Backwards - Didn't even get the PA yet though they asked for payment)
Purchase Agreement signed: 9/27

Just drove by the West Palm Beach depot last night and there have to be at least 100 cars in the lot. Waiting... though not as patiently.
