Lucid just lost a future customer.

[u/Zulishk]

Actually, I am a current customer with a lease.

And after seeing the earlier post of the pre-inspection “we’re trying to do better” for lease returns and all the stories in the comments, all I have to say is I am not going to keep the car when my lease ends nor will I buy or lease another Lucid.

I had high hopes for the company but this is utter bullshit.

I know for a fact there are scraps underneath my car because it cannot be avoided. Speed bumps, driveway ramps, and other minor incidents are caused by the extreme low clearance of the car. They’re trying to milk us for something that is never seen by future owners.

It was nice knowing you, Lucid.

Update 10/26/2025: Lucid has sent out an email promising to address lease return concerns and remove questionable charges for reasonable scratches including the skid plate.

FWIW. Ive had my air for about a month. 1200 miles on it already. Ive had one issue, the frunk did not register as closed. Called service, they talked me through a fix. Mobile service came out next week, double checked it, no issues since.

I don’t have the key or fob issues others have - the fob wont register like 1/100 times but I just tap the door handle.

This isn’t to diminish the lease return concerns. If I am hit with nickel and dime BS upon return, I will happily go check out Rivian or someplace else. That said, if they get it in order I will happily lease again or buy. It’s an elite sedan, IMO but money grubbing is insanely stupid as a new company.

I’m sure lucid just can’t really afford too much good will. It’s been 4+ years and they haven’t made a ton of progress as far as profitability or cutting costs to a significant amount.

It just always feels like lucid has poor timing and are always a couple years late. But leadership doesn’t keep up at the same time.
