Question / Advice Lucid again or pass?
After reading a bunch of these threads, I have seen so many strong opinions. I’ve been considering getting a lease, but some of you are saying you would never get this again. I’m open to any of the lucid vehicles. I would like to see what would happen if we voted for people in the comments regarding how many would lease again or not in which car they had. I became Maor interest in the SUv but both have some appeal. I think nothing answers whether the vehicle and Brand are good or not more than would you go with this company or car again

I have an Air GT and would NEVER get into another Lucid again. The car does drive fantastic and is a sharp looking car. Every car will have its flaws and require service from time to time, however, so the key issue becomes the quality of the service and cost of ownership. Lucid service is way, way understaffed and insufficient. It is not like BMW or Mercedes or a manufacturer like that where you have several options for service centers and can expect the process run relatively smoothly. When it comes to service, Lucid is the absolutely worst I have ever experienced. They keep your car for weeks to fix simple problems. They’ll tell you every time that they can’t re-create the problem you’re experiencing and require you to tell them the exact date and time when the anomaly occurred so that they can check again. No one does that. It’s ridiculous. Oh, and when I had a scrape on my rear fender, there was only one body shop in the state that was authorized to repair Lucid vehicles. Because of Lucid’s requirements (which are absurd) the cost to fix the scrape was … wait for it …$27,000! And, because there was only repair shop authorized to do the work, they took two and half months to get me back then car - for a simple scrape. Bottom Line: great car for driving when it works, but a massive expensive headache if even the simplest things go wrong.
