I purchased my 2023 Lucid Air Touring new in April 2023. The vehicle began experiencing defects at approximately 1,100 miles, and numerous mechanical, electrical, and software problems have continued throughout my ownership despite repeated visits to authorized Lucid service facilities. Door Locks and Security Malfunctions: The vehicle has randomly unlocked itself, with the exterior door handles extending even when the key was more than 25 feet away. The vehicle has also displayed warnings that passive unlocking was disabled, requiring manual operation.

My car’s backup camera and main infotainment computer lag badly. It is available for inspection. When I start the car, I have to wait 20–30 seconds for the system to boot before it even lets me shift into reverse. Once in reverse, the backup camera stutters and lags significantly instead of showing smooth, real-time video. This creates a severe blind spot for crossing pedestrians and cars when backing out, violating FMVSS 111 rear visibility standards. The issue consistently repeats on cold starts and is well-documented on early Air models. Lucid has inspected and serviced the car via routine service and OTA updates. No warning lamps appear. I am on the latest software (v2.11), but up
