Lucid Air EV Display Issue And Recall: What You Need To Know
EV manufacturer Lucid Motors has issued a recall for more than 1,000 of its 2022 model Air luxury sedans over a faulty display wiring harness. This is the second recall for the Lucid Air following one in February over a faulty snap ring on the front suspension. Founded in 2007 under the name 'Atieva,' Lucid Motors initially produced EV batteries and powertrains for other companies before deciding to jump into the EV manufacturing business. The company rebranded itself as Lucid Motors in October 2016 and showed off the first prototype of the Lucid Air later that year.
Lucid Motors is headquartered in Newark, California, and is led by Peter Rawlinson, a former Tesla chief engineer who joined Lucid as CTO in 2013 before taking over the role of the chief executive in 2019.

Following the price hike, which goes into effect from June 1, the base Lucid Air 'Pure' will cost $87,400, an increase of $10,000 over its previous price of $77,400.
