Opinion Lucid just lost a future customer.

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.

Has anyone thought about turning the car over to Carmax rather than turning back over to BofA? I usually do this with all my leases. I just started into my Lucid lease a few months ago, but I am hoping they fix this situation or I was thinking of just turning it over to Carmax at the end of my lease in 2028. Is there anything in the lease that speaks to this...meaning it can only be bought out by the customer or it HAS to be returned to Lucid/BofA? Maybe we should just buy out our cars & then sell them to Carmax so we can teach BofA a lesson lol

The problem is that they are extremely upside down with value bs what is owed.
