In general, I'd agree with you. And in fact, I've said every part of the way that I very much expect Lucid to take their time and make sure everything is perfect before I take my car. I reserved early enough that I could have easily had a Dream Edition a long time ago but I chose GT because I didn't want to take the first batch-- I wanted the car to be a bit more baked.
But my concern, like so many on here, has been the setting of expectations and communication. If I had stuck with a grey car, I'd say a 6 week time between VIN and delivery would be good. But I literally switched colors because I was told delivery would be immediate. It wasn't.
Thankfully, despite the out of office email, my DA has replied and things are moving forward. I hope he's not replying from some beach somewhere. I'd be happy with a competent backup.
