I was told that since my order (from 2021) was AWD, that I was not eligible for the price of $77,400. Assuming the information is correct on this forum that RWD reservation holders and paying that price, I decided not to go ahead with the purchase at this time. Also, assuming that people are really paying 77400, seems bad form to deny the price to long term reservation holders.
You cancelled your reservation?
I wouldn't jump to conclusions.Do you have proof that RWD reservation holders are getting the base AWD car for $77400? I would highly doubt that. Also, why walk away from a fabulous opportunity in owning a Lucid Air...even without the 5k, you are getting a great deal with the recent price cuts.
Mmmm....walking away from a fabulous car for paperwork reasons?? I would recommend you stay put. Nothing else out there will give you the joy of owning a Lucid Air. Best car I ever bought!!
Not just paperwork, but overall customer service. The lack of responsiveness and general ineptitude I’ve experienced before even getting the car is concerning. Begs the question of how they will be to work with after I buy it.
I qualified my post, recognizing the information about RWD reservation holders being offered AWD for no cost is not definitive. Some of it comes from posters to this forum. It would be great to know the veracity of that information.
Nobody has to jump to conclusions, I and a few other RWD reservation holders got the free upgrade to AWD, SSPro & DDPro. My reservation was made 1/2021. I’ll be picking the car up either tomorrow (weather permitting) or Wednesday. Obviously there have to be cars equipped with this equipment to take advantage of the offer.
You could try talking to a different person?
As I posted previously, I was offered as a legacy price holder, an AWD Pure with SSP (no DDP) in Fathom Blue (my desired color) for $78.2k. This breaks down to $77.4k (legacy RWD price) plus $800 for the paint. The conditions of the offer: These are pre-existing cars i.e. not made to order (ostensibly all the DDP equipped cars are sold out), they must be paid with cash or financed through LFS, you have to pay sales tax on the original sticker price (so for me it was $86,100). They are offering a "credit" back on the SSP and DDP and I guess in the case of the Pure on AWD.
After purchase service is miles ahead of Tesla. I wouldn’t worry about that. Perhaps your sales/finance person is not up to the mark. It’s your decision ultimately.
I was told the same except that I can use third-party financing as well. The only condition is that the car is not leased.
Well, I guess that's that. Done with Lucid. Spoke with several people and they all said that the deal you are all reporting is not available to me since I am a legacy price holder for a AWD Pure. Can't figure, but not the type of company that engenders confidence or good will. Already lost too much money foolishly as a stock holder.
Why does it say " Touring, Zenith Red, Santa Cruz Interior, 20” Aero Lite Wheels, DDPro, Surreal Sound Pro, Glass Canopy Roof and AWD Drivetrain, ordered May 30, 2021."
@Tanhm714, when did you put in your reservation order? Just wondering how long to expect as I just submitted my order with the same specs as you on the 9th. Thanks!
I order my RWD pure on Sep 2021. I went to UTC San Diego August 6 to inquire about the promotion. The SA modified my order to AWD, DDP and SSP. On Tuesday my DA call me to confirm the update and assign me a VIN. The car was slated to go to Chicago but it was in AZ so Lucid redirected my car to Costa Mesa CA and it arrived this past Saturday. My delivery date was Aug 26 but since the car arrived so rescheduled to pick up on Aug 20.
