Quick update here. I called this morning and a DA supervisor told me they'll be able to honor my original pricing if they had one that matched my order exactly which luckily one existed. Now waiting for my order to be transferred to the in inventory unit. If it works out and I'm able to take delivery of it, I'll post another update.
Tough call. $15k is a lot of money. If you chose a lease on your pure order, you'd also get the $7,500 tax credit applied as cap cost making it $22,500 more using that unique situation. You can always buy a used Touring or GT later if you felt compelled to. I bought my Model S Performance used and some poor person paid $12k for FSD and never got to use it. I paid the same amount as cars that didn't include FSD. Long way of saying DDP isn't worth the money.
I went down this rabbit hole, ended up with a used GT. No regrets!
Another quick update. The car was assigned to me and I was given a VIN number and now in the final stages. Delivery should be in 2-3 weeks. So for those who dont want to wait longer for your car, there's an option.

That analysis is not accurate. The $7500 is off the full purchase price when leasing and is only partially reflected in the lease based on the end of lease residual percentage. The resales have all shown more significant depreciation than they should have, mine included. Best value will be a low mileage used car, unless the 3 years of unlimited charging is important to you. After driving a Lucid for 7 months, In my opinion SSP and DDP are unnecessary wastes of money.
Penultimate update: Delivery was revised as there was a truck Houston bound with room and is now tentatively scheduled for next Wednesday. I'll give a final update if it does happen as they say.
Congratulation! I am waiting for RWD with DDPro and SSpro. I am tempted to step up to AWD.
You had no interest in DreamDrive Premium, or it was too late to add it?
DDP is useful- surround cameras and blind spot cameras....I think they are worth it.
I don't think Lucid will drop prices. They will probably give incentives. For the base Pure, not sure....they are expanding overseas so they probably will have a higher demand than in the past.
I don't think it's worth the 10k, especially when its not fully ready, and the stuff that is ready is nice, but I don't need it
agree, 10k might be a bit too much at this stage
