That is true we did get priority delivery, or at least every attempt at it on Lucids part. I will agree with that being a benefit. It's just that I didn't want those features, personally, and asked many times about how to avoid it. It's frustrating because it's a huge cost. Enough to make the EOY factor essentially worthless (if you don't highly value a 3k sound system and a 9k camera system). You know what I mean? Like adding it at a later date would be great. But it was pitched like a "now or never" feature on top of the EOY delivery factor. If both fall through as false... you can't possibly disagree that that is highly dissapointing to pay 12k for.
I guess what I’m saying is you always had the choice to not purchase it if you didn’t want those features, and simply take a layer delivery. It *is* “now or never” in terms of getting a priority delivery, and if you didn’t want those features you could have taken delivery later.
That they now have added the option to add those later is a new thing, granted, and I bet you could still change your order, pre-delivery, and take a later delivery date.
For all intents and purposes, nothing has actually changed, right? If you didn’t want the features, change the config and take a later delivery as you would have anyway. It’s actually arguably better because you would then have the option to add those features later.
If you did want the options, nothing has changed.
I can understand the frustration, for sure - but I think it’s important to think about the reality of what has changed and what hasn’t in terms of outcomes.
It seems like a decision they made late in production, which isn’t ideal, but doesn’t seem to affect customer outcomes significantly; but I can definitely understand the poor taste it may leave in your mouth, for sure.
