Exactly. The EQS is an undesirable car. I’m not disputing that. The msrp is too high, dealers are discounting them heavily, but you usually have to negotiate and pit dealers against each other to find the bottom line price. It’s annoying and a huge hassle. Hence why sites like leasehackr were created
Actually, even the dealers are complaining about the EQS and saying that it "isnt a car most people aspire for." I too, wouldnt aspire to own the honda civic eqs:
Yea I think the bland egg shaped styling is a big part of that. They should’ve just used the S class body and electrified it, similar to BMW i7. I think people are used to that level of luxury and would sacrifice a little coefficient of drag for that.
Thank you Lucid design team for showing that aerodynamics don't have to be blob-shaped (and at the same time, can actually be quite attractive).

True. And I agree. The Lucid incentives are not as big as they have cleverly designed them to look.All regions are covered. There are Mercedes deals in Florida as well.

The 0% interest only really matters if you’re planning to buy out the car after the lease term. Then yes, you saved money over financing it from the start.
If you plan to return it, you still paid more in depreciation over the lease term than an EQS interest+ depreciation over the same term.
I don’t see why this is hard to understand. 36 months on a lucid GT is $1500/month with taxes/fees at signing. An EQS is $900/month for 36 months with taxes/fees at signing. You pay less for the EQS. This should not be a point of contention
I 100% agree, and I’ve made that point earlier, the EQS is not a desirable car. My only point is to those saying that lucid’s lease deal and money factor incentive makes it cheaper than anyone else.
His point is exactly right. I would never use or even look at dealer promotional deals when leasing or buying. There are lots of other incentives that are never or rarely included in those promotional deals that are much better. Those deals just get the people in that have no desire to negotiate.
i Agree the EQS is an unattractive car but they sold 1596 cars( Lucid sold 1457) according to their reporting for q3. So that’s about the same as Air. Neither company can continue with those numbers. Right now there is really no interest in Luxury Electric Cars( other than Tesla). In the luxury segment Porsche, the non Tesla leader, is only selling a little over 2,000 cars per quarter. Obv the Gravity at $80k could change that. But no one has seen what an $80k Gravity looks like. Everything being shown by Lucid with Gravity is $135k and up. I am hoping that we can buy an $80k Gravity and upgrade interiors etc and have a decent car for $95k. If not Gravity will be lucky to sell 10,000 cars In 2025.
Considering they are doing this for 2024 Air's, I expect this to be the case. We know a lot of details about the 80k gravity.
Nobody has seen the price of a Dream or GT equivalent either so we do not know the price. I suspect it will be well below $135k. But that is just speculation on my part just as the $135k is speculation on your part.
You conveniently forget the Saudi connection. 5000 cars will be bought by the Saudi Gov every year initially, then 10000 a year. Add to that private sales in the Gulf countries. If you think Gravity will only sell 10k a year, you are really smoking something. SUV sales are at least x 4 sedan sales. Add to that the fact that Lucid has no real competitor- range is king for SUV's. Lucid also uses a 40% smaller battery pack means they can sell the cars for less or make more profit per car. I see them selling 40k a year at least in 2025/2026. Then of course you have the small SUV coming into production.
You just have to have an Amex card or be a Sam’s club member to get the fleet discount. It costs $40 to sign up for a membership if by some chance you don’t. In the screenshot you posted, correct there are additional discounts for security deposit, but even without it it’s cheaper than a lucid’s lease.
Sorry but you keep on comparing how much cheaper an EQS is to the Lucid. It sounds like you are a great shopper and get great discounts. But if someone really wanted to save money, just go buy a Chevy Bolt EUV. It’s a great car!
