Yep! You will be in my neck of the woods. It's also their first studio and service center, but a total pain in the ass because of parking of lack there of.
The problem with that, IMO, is that they convert your refundable $1,000 deposit to a non-refundable deposit. So for some, the test drive costs $1,000. If you see no issues with that, we're not on the same page.
Do we know that confirmation emails are going out every two weeks like they were at the end of the year? I haven't paid much attention since I got mine. If not, I do think that Lucid should consider a few things. I'm not suggesting that they start saying anyone with a non-confirmed reservation should starting scheduling test drives. I am saying that if I can call up and get a reservation spot within a week and the confirmation emails are not going out with the same regularity, why not look at a way to allow more to test drive rather than having the car sit idle. It's easy to say that you should be content with waiting until you're invited when you already have the car, but I suspect for many, this purchase is not an addition to a well stocked garage. It's likely a pretty big decision. So waiting until you're invited versus putting in an order for a different car that maybe a little bit less awesome on paper (be it an ICE or EV) might not work out as well as Lucid is hoping.
The last one I saw was Jan 10. I'm hoping for another round this week, since I'm still waiting for mine!
No test drives in San Diego or Orange counties yet. Still waiting…….
Air Pure reservations are only $300 - fully refundable.
I've emailed the Tysons Corner (Northern VA) studio twice now to ask about availability of test drives, but no response.
That’s the same answer I received yesterday about Orange County and San Diego, however, I was able to get on the Test drive schedule for next week in Torrance. I know it‘s about a two hour drive from San Diego for you, but it might be the quickest way for you to get a test drive.
It’s about 1-1/2 hours one way without including a 1 hour charging session on the Leaf - Each way. I need my Lucid so I can actually drive somewhere.
Agreed, but we also don't know how many test drives are scheduled per day or really anything about test drives. I'm sure each studio has a different wait list based off geographical region, not to mention, some people got 15 min and others got an hour.
Yes, but there was some question about whether deposits had to be converted to non-refundable to ‘qualify’ for a test drive. We may have clarified that issue now or it may vary by studio.
At West Palm Beach they are offered once an hour. Drive itself was about 30 minutes plus car cleaning, etc. I had a 3pm reservation which didn't start till 3:15 but he said we could take as much time as we wanted because his last test drive at 4 had cancelled.
I called and was told they would contact me when something is available. Got a follow up email too. Very professional.
I test drove an AGT in Scottsdale yesterday. I have been invited to confirm my ACT order but haven’t yet. The only requirement for the test drive was to make a fully refundable deposit, which I did last November. They are doing 4 test drives a day and are scheduling about one week out. The test drive was much better than the traditional walk-into-the-showroom-and-ask-what-they-have-on-the-lot experience. The reason is that the Lucid rep is doing test drives all day, knows the car better than most car salespersons know their products, and has a standard spiel that walks through the key features of the car. It was not rushed and included both city and freeway driving
Who did you get as your rep in Scottsdale?
I believe his name is Amir but I’m not sure. He was good.
I've test driven with Amir as well, and I agree, he is very good. Your information lines up with mine in that I think you still need to have been invited to confirm the reservation. Welcome to the forum. I'm assuming your in the Phoenix area?
