Texas Crash Totaled

[RichMalden]

Here's some photos someone posted on a Lucid Facebook group. They were fine but involved in a crash with a drunk driver. Looks like they got their car August 17th and they say they felt really safe in the Lucid and will definitely buy another.

Holy crap. Wow the car did it’s job, that’s a terrible wreck and it looks like the passenger cabin is intact.

Not much detail about what actually happened but it looks like a crazy mess.

Not one but Two pickups and a Lucid. Only in Texas. Glad every walked away. Two bright spots. Another guaranteed Lucid sale and spare parts for sale!

Only in Texas.

Oh, it could have easily been Florida.

Dang, I'm glad the passengers were able to walk away.

I sent this photo to my brother (an EV addict). His response:

"The truck driver was uninjured . . . until the Lucid driver managed to get out of his car."

Glad to see here was no battery fire (yet).

Good point. It will be interesting to see if anything happens to the Lucid after a week or two.

Regardless, those photos gave a strong sign of support for Lucid's safety.

Those are some scary/chilling photos just in time for Halloween. Glad to see the Lucid did it's part in protecting the riders.

Those pictures gave a quick punch to the gut. How awful and traumatizing! I can’t believe they walked away, but so happy to hear they did. This certainly gives me pause and gratitude.

The Lucid what it was engineered to do… protect the passengers.
Awaiting my car, and even more confident now that I made the right choice.

It seems that, even though it was shattered, the windshield stayed intact. And, as near as I can tell, the side doors don't even seem to be pushed out of alignment, unlike with either pickup. Very impressive.

How does insurance work in that case? Do they value the car at the new prices, or is it some other calculation done completely separate of the current price?

I think with USAA you can opt into the value calculation + 20% (percentage may be wrong) for a little extra each month.

That depends entirely on your insurance coverage. Mine (through PURE) has agreed value coverage, so mine will be valued at what we agreed it’s worth. Others have depreciated value, which can be tough if you’re on a loan, unless you have gap coverage.

Wow, that’s intense

I have the same insurance (w/ PURE) and have been very pleased w/ them.
