2025 Lucid Air — car pulls right even though alignment is green

CityScoutCommunity StarterJan 19, 20262025 Lucid Air PurePortland
Alignment printout is within spec, but the car still wants to drift right on a flat road. Tire pressures match. Would you cross-rotate tires to check radial pull, or look harder at caster/camber side-to-side? I am in Portland.

Write down what you already tried. A second data point from another 2025 Lucid Air owner helps more than a generic diagnosis. That's where I'd start. This is from a 2025 Lucid Air in Portland. I'd want a dollar figure or a measured spec, not 'should be fine.' Not trying to scare you — just skip the expensive first guess. This is the version I'd tell a friend.

I'd keep this practical. Verify the cheap/easy branch on the 2025 Lucid Air before a big repair or a big spend. That's where I'd start. This is from a 2025 Lucid Air in Portland. Run the total, not the monthly, before you commit. I've seen both outcomes, which is why I'd test instead of assume. This is me being the wet blanket on purpose.

Don't overfit one forum story to your car. If it still isn't clear on the 2025 Lucid Air, a specialist hour can be cheaper than another round of parts. That's where I'd start. That's the whole play. I'm keeping receipts and dates in one folder.

Owner notes beat generic advice here. On the 2025 Lucid Air in Portland, I'd fix the thing you'll notice every day before chasing spec-sheet extras. I'd do that before spending real money. On “car pulls right even though alignment is,” that was the fork that mattered for me. If it doesn't change the out-the-door or the repair estimate, it's noise. I'd rather look cautious in this thread than stuck later.

Useful. I'll report back after I verify that on my 2025 Lucid Air. This is me being the wet blanket on purpose.

Following up on car pulls right even though alignment is: still happening, but I have better notes now. If this is nothing, great. I want that in data.

Was this after sitting overnight? That's coming from doing this as an owner, not a shop. If the story changes I'll post the new data.

I parked the 2025 Lucid Air and wrote down what I already tested so I'm not repeating myself. If this is nothing, great. I want that in data.
