Which Lucid Air years should you avoid?
No Lucid Air model year stands out from the others in NHTSA owner complaints. The typical Lucid Air year has 19 complaints on file.
What are the best Lucid Air years?
The Lucid Air years with the fewest complaints on file are the 2022 (24) and 2023 (26). Model years after 2023 are left out: they have not been on the road long enough to compare.
NHTSA does not publish sales figures, so these are complaint counts, not a rate per car on the road. A year that sold more cars collects more complaints, and older years have had longer to collect them.
