Did I Buy A Lemon? Lucid Is Buying My Car Back After 11 Months. Subscribe to Engineering Explained for more videos! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm After just 11 months, Lucid is buying my car back entirely. When I originally got my 2025 Lucid Air Touring, my plan was to lease it for three years, then decide whether to buy it out or give it back. I didn’t even make it a year, until signing a document that basically says "this offer is intended to provide you, at a minimum, with what you may be entitled to under 'lemon law.'" Effectively, Lucid says they want your experience to be excellent, they realize it wasn’t, and they want to make it right. To catch everyone up, I made a video explaining all of the problems I’ve had with the car, and then I made another video explaining Lucid’s response, on how they planned to address many of these concerns. After the first video, many people commented “why are you keeping the car?” Based on Lucid’s response, which I found very respectable, I thought I'd see this thing through, and hopefully some updates along the way will improve my car. I don’t think enough time really passed for them to fix everything, but I basically reached my breaking point with this car after a pretty rough weekend trip with it. So we’ll get into why they’re buying it back, but I have to start with what went wrong with the car on a simple 400 mile weekend trip. All of the failures I’m about to describe happened over four days, from leaving on a Thursday to returning home on a Sunday.

But would they do that with someone that doesn't have 4.2 million subscribers?
mechanical door latches should be considered a cumpolsory safety feature
Ridiculous for him to blame this on Lucid. As any competent engineer should know, the thing is clearly haunted.
We will one day miss analog switches, door handles, gauge clusters
Mad props for having such an empty garage, other than the car.
The notice about the Gravity might just be the funniest thing in this video
I understand if a car had 2-3 of these problems. But the laundry list of issues you’ve mentioned - some minor, some major, and some downright dangerous is bonkers.
The more I hear these stories, the more I like older cars.
Funny part is lucid won’t do this for anyone who doesn’t have internet fame.
This is crazy, they're tackling this as if it was a phone app, not something that moves and weighs thousands of pounds... The car needs to alert you when sensitive settings are changed.
His review of Lucid is single handedly going to make Lucid go out of business very quickly.
On a postive note, I did notice a blue hue in the paint during one of the shots.
Dangit, now I want a multi-channel logging thermometer... thanks, thanks a lot.
Kind of insane to still be having these kind of problems.
watching this video i have a newfound love for my 20 year old Volvo V70. it may be old, but damn it just works.
There is no way I would ever consider this car after this series of videos. No one else should either...
Lucid's software engineering department needs a total overhaul. What an absolute joke. Is there any part of their software stack that isn't terrible?
There was a reason why the New Lucid CEO fired the whole software team..

Basically nothing a car should do works... lmao. Problems that have been solved for years in normal cars.
