Also can I not the PR release doesnt say anything about legacy and new pricing. If we pressure our DAs, we may get it.
The “Lucid caused me to lose my tax credit” narrative is overplayed. Our current administration caused you to lose your tax credit, period. Lucid would like nothing better than to have you receive a tax credit which costs them nothing. If you bought a car from a brand new company and expected them to be on time with everything, that was flawed planning. Were they behind their own planned timeline? Yes. Did they wish they weren’t? Of course.I didn't say conspiracy. However, your point is well taken. Some of the cars they are trying to move now may have been from cancellations. My guess still is that they overproduced GT's to a certain extent with the hopes that they could sell the higher price point vehicles so they built extra while the production like was still set up for that trim. And I am also guessing that the same thing is happening with fully loaded touring models that are part of this promotion. They were very clear that they were producing fully loaded tourings first (before they changed their production line to non DDP and SSP vehicles). It makes sense to me that if they have an opportunity to sell some more of those that they produce them now before switching production. From a business standpoint, if this was their decision making process, I get it. But from a customer standpoint, as someone who has been waiting for 2 1/2 years and lost the tax credit, it is very frustrating.
Already on it!!!Also can I not the PR release doesnt say anything about legacy and new pricing. If we pressure our DAs, we may get it.
To support this, lucid really did try to keep the tax credit. First they did the "confirmation," which ended up not working because of the 10percent rule. Second they made inventory cars available right before the holidays and ensured a lot of owners got a GT before the holiday.(think @Coho) Of course, they could not get all tourings and pures. But that should be expected honestly.The “Lucid caused me to lose my tax credit” narrative is overplayed. Our current administration caused you to lose your tax credit, period.

Wait... dont you have your car?Already on it!!!
Bobby, here you go yet again telling folks how they should feel about something that affects them personally. Sigh!!!The “Lucid caused me to lose my tax credit” narrative is overplayed.

N.O.P.E. Still waiting!!!Wait... dont you have your car?
Go go go! Ask for the 7500 and it will be as good as getting it delivered before 12/31N.O.P.E. Still waiting!!!

The main point of this was to "reimburse" the tax credit so I doubt it will happen since you already got it. Doesnt hurt asking though.I am assuming this will not apply to the cars which got delivered last year and are eligible for a $7500 tax credit. Mine (Touring) got delivered on Dec 28th. Just wanted to see if anyone in a situation like me talking with their DA. Thanks!

Bobby, with all due respect, I fully agree with Babyrocko. I understand that the politicians are the ones that screwed this up. And that Lucid took some steps to try and salvage the tax credit for customers. However, they ALSO did some things that contributed to not producing/delivering more of the lower trim cars in 2022. So, yeah, I am frustrated. That feeling is completely justified. And you really shouldn't tell me or anyone else that it's overplayed because you already have your car and you got the credit. It didn't/doesn't affect you other than being bothered when the rest of us mention it. Sorry my post seemed to irritate you. But, again, my loss of the $7500 doesn't affect you. And your comment that discussing Lucid's involvement in that loss is overplayed is very dismissive to those of us who lost out and actually are affected by it.Bobby, here you go yet again telling folks how they should feel about something that affects them personally.

My Touring got delivered 1/20/23... I'm going to reach out and ask anyways.I am assuming this will not apply to the cars which got delivered last year and are eligible for a $7500 tax credit.

Yup! I'm glad you said it and this isn't just coming from me.Bobby, with all due respect, I fully agree with Babyrocko. I understand that the politicians are the ones that screwed this up.

I guess it’s difficult to convey tone on a forum. What I am trying to convey is that Lucid did not take away the tax credit, politicians did. That’s it. Lucid tried their best for this to not happen. It’s nothing personal.Bobby, with all due respect, I fully agree with Babyrocko. I understand that the politicians are the ones that screwed this up.

It applies to legacy pricing on the Touring.Glad they are offering this and hoping it does apply to legacy pricing. I would think it should, if they want to help move more cars.
The economy, along with the much higher interest rates of just a year ago and then lower trade in values of cars are all working against any car priced at this level now. Tesla was out in front of this first by lowering prices, but other manufactures, especially ones that are priced this high are going to have to change their pricing strategy to stay competitive and to win business, especially on a new brand.
That is awesome and the right thing for Lucid to do! Of course my DA is on vacation for the next two weeks but we'll get there.It applies to legacy pricing on the Touring.
