Lucid is possibly the worst managed automative company.
Beautiful cars, targeting the wrong part of the market (luxury sedan), and just not well run.
Went to a sales center this summer and was basically told GFYS.
6-12 months wait, we don't know.
No test drives, but if you put in a deposit, maybe you can test drive in the fall before config.
Yes, we have a floor model but no you cannot sit in it, let alone even touch it.
Again, would you like to place a deposit sir?
Less than 6 months later, by early December, despite reducing targets, and missing those reduced production targets.. they have immediately available inventory?
By EOY 2022 something like 30% of the cars they had ever produced were not yet delivered? LOL.
Right now theres a dozen sitting on their website to "buy now", all in different color combos.
I'm sure 100s in inventory to replace those listings as they sell. Reports from show rooms all over the country of people seeing the same cars sitting on the lots.
Note Tesla's available inventory generally tells you where the car is, and has a long unique URL that implies strongly that the listing is for a single physical vehicle. The Lucid listings are ambiguous enough to mask there being 10s or 100s of units in that config available. Some of the listings are 2022 model year still!
Insane.
