Hi everyone,
I've spent the last couple of weeks researching the Lucid Air and have narrowed my search down to a few used 2022-2023 Tourings and Grand Tourings that Lucid Scottsdale has in inventory. I've watched countless YouTube reviews, read Reddit threads, and joined a couple of Facebook owner groups, but I'd really like to hear from people who have actually lived with these cars.
I'm planning to keep the car until around 2030, so I'm much more interested in the ownership experience than first impressions.
A few questions I have:
How many miles are on your car now?
Which model do you own (Touring or Grand Touring, and model year)?
Have you had any repairs outside of routine maintenance?
Have any repairs been out of warranty? If so, what did they cost?
Has reliability improved significantly with software updates since 2022?
Any recurring issues that still bother you?
If you bought a 2022, do you ever wish you had stretched for a 2023 or 2024?
If you own a Touring, do you ever wish you'd bought a Grand Touring (or vice versa)?
For those whose basic warranty has expired, has ownership become more stressful or has it been largely uneventful?
Have any of you purchased an extended warranty? If so, was it worth it?
Has anyone regretted buying a used Lucid, or would you do it again?
A little about me:
I live in Arizona, so cold-weather performance and the heat pump aren't major concerns.
I drive quite a bit commuting and taking my daughters to cheer, so comfort matters more to me than outright performance.
I'm looking for a luxury daily driver that I'll likely own for about four years before moving to something like a Scout EV.
I'm not trying to start a Lucid vs. Tesla debate—I'm specifically looking for honest ownership experiences, both good and bad. If you could go back, would you buy your Lucid again?
Thanks in advance!
