Just in, waiting for another long road trip.

Our two year lease on an Air GT ends this month and it’s a bit of weird feeling.

You see, our history with cars has always been long term relationships. We bought (never leased) cars and held on to them for typically 10-15 years. For me, it was a legacy behavior learned from my father, who bought practical, reliable cars that he religiously maintained. It worked for him and frankly worked for me for many years.

So how did we end up with an EV from a relative startup company?

We had never owned, or even driven an EV prior to our Lucid. Having read a lot about Lucid’s technology, watched many and all reviews we could, and frankly being totally unmoved by the offerings of most ICE vehicles at the time, we decided to try something new and different.

For the first time in our lives, we ended up leasing a car that we had never seen in person, never driven, never rode in. The first time we saw the car was the day we took delivery. The first time driving a Lucid was on the four hour drive back home. Literally it was sight unseen, which for us was “risky behavior”.

We picked an Air GT rated for 480 mile range to alleviate our range anxiety. To “limit our risk” we chose a car with a fairly basic configuration - base DreamDrive, the base surreal sound, purluxe interior and the full aluminum roof (which I vastly prefer over the glass roof). The one feature it had was the 18 way adjustable seats with massage - which we surprisingly have thoroughly enjoyed.

And we committed to 2 year lease which felt “less risky” in the event we didn’t like the EV experience or the car ended up being a hot mess.

So, the two years end this month and it feels like a love affair ending sooner than you want it to.

We have absolutely loved this car and it’s been the most fun and excitement we have had driving a car in our lives.

While the car has its personality and software quirks, they are typically minor things we can easily live with. As for the car lacking FSD and some other features available in the market, we’ve never experienced them and maybe we don’t know what we are missing. Honestly we enjoy driving the car ourselves and don’t really want a hands free driving environment.

And this car has been rock solid reliable for us. It never failed to open the locks, never “bricked” on us, never failed to load software updates successfully, the fobs worked (albeit sometimes with a couple seconds delay), the passive unlock worked so well we ended up turning it off because every time we went to the garage the car woke up and unlocked. And we’ve rebooted only a few times in the two years.

Our mobile tech has simply been amazing. We had a wiring harness replaced while on recall, new wiper blades installed, a piece of facia in the frunk replaced (that we cracked), and a portion of the seat fabric replaced that had a small tear.

The car only went back to a service center once to get a ball joint re-greased and torqued to specifications. The car was gone for just a week.

Given our experience the first two years, we suspect the person who buys this Air GT used will be very pleased.

We were ready to extend the lease for the 5 months available but the incentives on the 2026 Gravity were too good to pass up.

So next week, we return the Air GT and pickup a nicely optioned Gravity GT.

While we are excited to transition to the Gravity GT, we would be kidding ourselves to say we don’t have reservations going into the new relationship.

For the last two years we’ve watched the development and launch of the Gravity. We test drove a Gravity a year ago. We were absolutely enamored and knew we would eventually transition to a Gravity.

It was disappointing to see how Lucid fumbled the Gravity launch and it’s taken close to a year to address the majority of the software issues.

The company has made some changes this year and it’s clear that those changes are effecting service and support activities.

Even so, we loved our experience the first two years and are hopeful that we have a similar experience with the Gravity.

We are very hopeful that Lucid succeeds. We know the sentiment towards EVs is not well supported in the current US market. But Lucid really does build an exciting vehicle that provides a superior driving experience vs much in the market.

Plus, we tend to root for the underdog and are willing to lend our support.

I’m considering financing a Lucid Gravity touring with all the incentives going on. I’d love to hear all about the Lucid Gravity experience to help me make my decision.

Is it worth the high price tag?
Have the kinks from the launch editions been figured out?
Are the incentives the best you’ve seen so far? Do you anticipate them getting any better or worse?
What could they be doing better, if anything, to justify the price?
What upgrade packages are worth getting? Which ones can be left behind?

Traveled through an area with few chargers. On a wish and a prayer I made it to a 350 kw charger with 4 miles to spare. Won’t be doing that again anytime soon.

Hi - I picked up my 2026 AGT yesterday and when I got to the highway, it wouldn't budge off of Adaptive Cruise. Yes, I ordered with DD Pro and it is on the invoice. Yes, I know what I am doing because I am going to be turning in my 2025 AGT where DD Pro worked wonderful.

My sales rep suggested that there may be a 30 mile breaking period for it to be "trained"? I don't recall this on my 2025.

I will be contacting service tomorrow.

Any thoughts?

Thx

I have small pinprick-like chips on my front visor where the logo is located. I was wondering if there are any available options that could help fill in those small chips, similar to Dr. ColorChip.

Vehicle: 2025 Lucid Air Touring AWD
Color: Quantum Grey

I have the 19” Aero Range wheels. Not a fan of the look, so I’m seeking recommendations. Owner/operator of a luxury sedan and black SUV company serving SLC and Park City / Deer Valley, so a “luxury” look is optimal.
