Here is my story. A couple of weeks ago, I drove to work and parked my Lucid AT, and all was good. At the end of the day, I got in the car and got the driver system fault screen, and the vehicle was not driveable. Had to get it towed to the Lucid service center. After a day or so of trying to figure out what was wrong, they thought it was a faulty accelerator pedal. After replacing that part, it did not solve the problem, and they had to go digging. It turns out that some of the wires were damaged by what they feel is some rodent (see photos). They concluded that after they saw the "insulation" disturbed. I have never had such an issue with any car I have ever had. I never knew this was a thing until this happened (now I hear it is very common). The unfortunate thing is that the small section of wire that was damaged has resulted in the whole harness needing to be replaced. This has required that a lot of the car be disassembled to get this done, including removing the battery pack. The job is almost complete, and apparently, it should be ready this coming week. I sure hope it drives the same way and has no issues. Unfortunately, none of this is covered under warranty, which I guess is understandable. I have decided not to go through insurance as I have a high deductable, and I am worried about what this means later on with insurance, etc.. I have been quoted at least 10K to fix as this is very labor intensive. There is some access from the wheel well that can get directly into this area, and I am sure they were able to find some tasty items to nibble on. I have been a massive advocate of this vehicle and will continue to be (hopefully), but I now have vast concerns about this happening again. I would love it if Lucid could help with some of the costs associated with this, as I feel that such an expensive car could have some way to isolate access to these areas. I don't know what to say or what I can do, but I would appreciate any advice anybody could have on what I can do to prevent this in the future or if they feel manufacturers could be doing a better job of preventing this. I know that this can happen to any vehicle, including high-end ones. What is everybody's thoughts?
