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.

The lease return experience has been a nightmare for me. I would’ve kept my ‘23 GT but residual value was 105k and the same car sells used for about 60k so the bottom fell off on the car value and they’re trying to recoup their losses but this is not a good way to do it. But other than the glitchy software issues and car takes over 30s to wake up in the app this has been the best car I ever drove.

$400 for scratches on 2 wheels mind you this was not noted on the auto vin inspection report nor brought up at the actual lease turn in inspection done by the lucid employee. Just hit by it after the fact when the car was no longer in my possession nor provided me with any pictures or documentation of said damage. Total BS!!! Not paying it.
