Reservation Transfer - PA/NJ/NY/CT area, Air GT, Zenith Red, Tahoe Interior, 19” Aero Range Wheels, Glass Canopy Roof, and AWD Drivetrain

- Start date
cannot transfer a reservation, you'd have to buy it first then privately sell, maybe can work out something with someone here
I am not sure of Lucid's policy on the following solution read from somewhere else (not these forums). The person with the reservation could provide the credentials, maybe even change, to the person interested in purchasing the reservation. How to handle the money and guarantee transfer would be up to the two parties. There are probably more hoops such as changing the delivery address and registered owners.
"No" - Lucid's policy
Just so I don't lose my deposit. The secondary market appears to be rather soft on this vehicle. Even with my early reservation's lower price of $139K, I would still lose money if I sold it after delivery. On the auction sites, the GT trim sells for $125K which is a full $14K lower than I would pay for it. Granted, if I took delivery, I could take the $7,500 tax credit but that's still a $6,500 loss right out the gate.
What if I were to ask them to re-assign my order deposit to a Touring trim model for delivery in Q4 '22 or Q1 '23 and perhaps even honor the pricing of that trim before the price increase earlier this year? Would they do that? I am a bit frustrated that when I test drove back in Jan '22, the representative made it seem like DreamDrive Pro would be released closer to the end of this year. That's a pipe dream, and it doesn't seem that there is a lot of demand in the US for a luxury electric sedan with little driving automation.
Ask @rbarry, he may be on vacation or something because have not seen him here this week. I believe they will work with you, they do not want cancellations.

Careful with that approach. If you take delivery next year on any of the models, I believe you are guaranteed to lose the tax credit
dont forget about sales tax and delivery fee
Supposed to take delivery next week so I think the tax credit is still in play. If I push the reservation for delivery next year, the SA confirmed I would still be eligible for the tax credit.
No sales tax in NJ
My sales representative has been adamant any change to my order (pre-price hike) will result in post-price hike prices. It really sucks because I was willing and eager to drop the extra cash on the Stealth package...
You could potentially buy the Stealth package pieces after you get your vehicle and when stealth becomes available have them swap the parts for you.
I did ask about that actually. No word on if the stealth components will be made available for after market purchase. Fingers crossed they will though.
Some folks have mentioned "blacking" out the chrome. I am not sure what that does, or if it is the same thing.
"Blacking" out the chrome is just having a car customization shop wrap the chrome pieces with black or whatever color you choose. You can wrap your whole car if you want to. This is an alternative to replacing the parts or painting. Some people on the forums have done this. You can also remove the wrap and return it looking back to factory if you get bored with it.

This would be cost-prohibitive IMO, and something that in my opinion should be done at the factory, or done far cheaper in the aftermarket with a wrap job.
From initial Google estimates on a wrap, you are correct. It looks like the top of the range was up to 2k. Either way, it would be cheaper to do an aftermarket job.
