Lucid EV? Trouble!!

 Too bad, because these are some of the most beautiful cars on the road.

 The Canadian owner of a 2024 Lucid Air Pure has prevailed in a lemon law arbitration case that compelled Lucid to cancel his lease and reclaim the vehicle approximately 18 months into a four-year agreement. Among many issues with the EV, the company told him he can’t park an EV outside in the wintertime and expect it to function properly....

Yes.  That's actually what Lucid's lawyers said.

That's not the only problem with that brand.

 ...This individual case emerges against a backdrop of broader quality concerns affecting the Lucid Air lineup. The Air Pure has been subject to several safety recalls that raise questions about quality control as production scales. One recall involved 3,627 Air Pure sedans regarding rear-drive half-shafts that could detach while the vehicle was in motion. Investigators traced this problem to irregularities in bolt fastening, adhesive application, and instances of bolt reuse. A separate recall covering 2,039 Air sedans addressed a Gen 4 inverter defect capable of causing sudden, unannounced loss of drive power, with 55 confirmed failures documented between March 2025 and March 2026.

The company’s newer Gravity SUV has encountered similar troubles....

We've seen a Lucid sedan around the neighborhood.  Hope the owner knows it must remain inside, warm and cozy during winter.
