Starting to regret getting this car...

Just bc you call it a “little house fire” doesn’t mean everyone else sees it that way

Range Rover still has better service bc they are locally deployed and serviced.

I was under the impression EV’s had less issues and maintenance bc they had significantly less pa

Again ur projecting your opinion as fact; I (and many others here) disagree with your premise.

RangeRover and Audi at the bottom....saying I spent 100k on a car and so should have perfect reliability is not realistic. Many luxury cars have issues, many economy cars don't.

Having unrealistic expectations will make you feel unrealistic.

Perfection isn’t the bar, you said that not me, but there is a lot of room between the top and where lucid service is today…the point that is being made is there is TOO much room

Yep, less to service, less issues. Most are software based which is continuingly improved.

I took my ICE SUV to get services- oil change, brake pads, engine tuning.....need it every 5k miles....hated it! My Lucid....yearly basic maintenance until warranty ends, then just tires. We haven't even changed the brake pads on our Tesla after 7 years!!

Disagree, car is almost perfect, just the keyfob gripe. I'm they will fix this in future model years. No biggie...

The other rattles have been fixed in newer year models. This is normal developement process for a new car company. You cannot expect Toyota like reliability out of the box.

I’m not trying to compare lucid to Toyota, they are closer to Range Rover by comparison. My car has been in the shop in the last 18 months than my last 3 cars bmw 650, Audi q8, Escalade combined

Actually you could say Range Rover is better considering they can service the cars better than lucid today.

This is no longer a useful comparison, and I’d ask that both of you stop going down this rabbit hole as you and @Batteryman are now spinning in circles.

I think the rest of us understand where the two of you stand, and moreover, that you two have differing opinions.

Very few people show up to a forum to say “things are great,” because they’re… just driving the car. This is true of any car forum.

So far, things are great. Just driving the car. (At the Air's price point shouldn't it automatically repel bird poop? JK)

My opinion is that your car is the exception not the rule in this case, I also think there are plenty of variances around owners who aren't reporting issues on here either. This is a "premium" car (at least buy the price tag) so the doctors I know who are owners have no idea about the forum.

I disagree. In the last 18 months my car has had 3 service appointments. Yearly service (normal), parcel shelf replacement and speaker fix for the Atmos update (done at my house).

Nothing excessive or out of the ordinary so I agree with @borski, the ownership experiences reported are lopsided because people with an axe to grind will post vs those who don’t.

My 2022 has only been gone to service twice, both times for its yearly annual maintenance. I've had a few minor items addressed at the same time. It doesn't squeak or rattle. It's been fine.
