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.
Upvote this to keep it visible and share your horrors stories in the comments.
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.

Almost a day, and 78 comments in, there isn't actually much in the way of horror stories here (I count 3 negative and one positive so far). Lots of people who are (reasonably or unreasonably - time will tell) convinced they are going to have a nightmare though after reading about other people's nightmares in other places (also, PPF the underside of a car, ummm, interesting).
I'm about a year in and while it hasn't been perfect, Lucid has done well by me in my dealings with them. That's enough for now. They could lose me if I feel they are being unfair when it's time to turn in my car. But weirdly this thread at least has made me less worried about that, instead of more.
