So your Lucid Air is arriving any day now and I bet you are super excited for the car be delivered. But it is also important to think clearly and be organized when the car arrives because it is a new car, with a lot of unique features and software.

The folks in the Lucid Owners Forums has been posting and updated what they call the “Lucid Air Delivery Checklist.” This is a list of questions and items you should set up and configure with the Lucid delivery experts when your Lucid Air is delivered to your home or office – or when you pick it up from the Lucid facilities.
