Successful delivery today

[alee]

thanks to this forum and all of the great contributors here, I am finally officially joining the Lucid family.

Had a great delivery today to pick up a ‘25 Touring:

Fathom blue stealth (no bear decals - still on the fence
20” aero lite stealth wheels
Mojave leather - 14-way ventilated seats
Comfort and convenience
Dream drive premium
Surreal Sound

Delivery staff were great, car looked better than I remember from my first test drive back in December. Coming from a 2020 Model S Performance. Amazing difference in driving quality, quiet cabin, smooth. I kept it in “smooth” for the ride home. For my 38 mile drive home, here’s my first impressions:

• I thought I’d miss my Model S. I feel really good about making the switch - this is such a solid feeling car
• Love the extra awareness cameras during turns and lane changes
• It seems throttle calibration makes it easier to do more light regen than in the Model S.
• Standard Surreal sound wasn’t nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I streamed Apple Music
• The motor whine in the ‘25 is noticeably quieter than the 24 touring I test drove. I like how it sounds
• My efficiency on the 38 mile drive was 4.66 MI / kWh. So much better than my old S on its BEST day. Speeds 65-70 mph

I am becoming a first time EV owner when I pick up my 2025 Fathom Blue Stealth Pure this coming Saturday in Plainview, NY.
I have downloaded the Lucid App and the delivery checklist from 2022 and was wondering if there is an updated version that I may have missed. I have already sent Lucid my insurance binder and was assured that the vehicle will come with temporary NY plates (as opposed to plates from Arizona). Please share your suggestions for anything else that I will need to make sure that delivery goes smoothly.
Thanks in advance.

Happy to hear you're getting temp NY plates. I'm wondering if my "issues" helped make a correction going forward. Check out this thread: Plate Transfer Issues

Wishing you luck on your pickup from Plainview! My experience with them was great In any case, would love to hear if you do get NY temp plates. Enjoy!

Congratulations on your new fathom blue stealth Air! I’ll admit, I didn’t take the 2022 checklist with me so may have missed some things.

However, when I mentioned this forum, my delivery rep stated that she was aware of the checklist here that another member brought to delivery. She noted that there were several things on the list that have been addressed so would be great if there was a refreshed list somewhere. Maybe you can use this list during your delivery and note things that may be new, changed, or that no longer apply? Here’s to a smooth delivery!

Westchester Air, it was your post that alerted me to the potential issue with the plates, so I will have my fingers crossed for Saturday.

Thank you alee. If anyone locates an updated check list let me know. Otherwise, I will take the 2022 list with me and see what is no longer relevant.

I ordered a 2025 Fathom Blue Touring from inventory to replace my Model 3 on Thursday. It said available in 2 weeks, rep says I should have it next Thursday or Friday in Plainview. What was your experience with time if you ordered from inventory, or once production started. I changed to new plates from transfer after reading the horror story someone in Plaiview had with transferring plates.

Really great color combination. Welcome! I have 48,000 miles on my 2022 Air GT and it remains totally awesome and trouble free!

Nice looking car. Congrats!!

 

[new owner]

I have to admit that is better looking than my 22GT Quantum Gray /Platinum on 19's

That sounds great!

Ah, thanks! Quantum Grey was also on my list along with the Fathom Blue. This one just came up in inventory first so I went for it.

Beautiful looking car! Congratulations and welcome to the family. That is a great color. Enjoy it!

Well the Fathom Blue just pops with the stealth
The Quantum Grey with platinum pops more in the night light

I also came from model s.

After a couple months, you will realize what Tesla ride quality is go cart compared to Lucid.

Cabin noise is 3x louder in Tesla. Whisper quiet in Lucid.

Braking and acceleration is so smooth in lucid.

Space usages is well thought out in lucid.

Lucid has the few sec delay door that some folks with instant gratificationism just lose their mind over.

Tesla does infotainment better though.

Overall Lucid’s ride comfort completely overshadows their software issues in my opinion. CarPlay also makes up for this for the most part in navigation and music.

Congrats on the new ride! I love the color combo; it was my close 2nd choice exterior/interior color combo when I was selecting my Touring. I hope you enjoy your car as much as I have so far!
