Shane provides an in-depth look at his two-year ownership experience with the 2023 Lucid Air Touring, focusing primarily on service history and reliability. Despite a significant number of issues, including problems with trim fitment, steering wheel creaks, and notable charging faults, Shane maintains an overwhelmingly positive view of the car and Lucid's customer service. The most critical issue involved severe thermal derating and charging problems, which ultimately led to a full high-voltage battery and onboard charger replacement. While the car experienced numerous minor and some major issues, the mobile service team and Lucid's customer care are praised for their responsiveness and effectiveness. The replacement battery, featuring Samsung cells, offers a notable increase in capacity and is expected to improve performance, though further testing is needed.
