I applied online. I interviewed at Lucid Motors in Jan 2021
Interview
Originally, it went great, then it took a deep downhill dive. Not only because I didn't get an offer, but recruiters and managers lead you on and ghost here, extremely badly. Surprisingly coming from the best of the best like Tesla, and having a similar technical and customer service role, they'll just use you to ask for all the ideas and shortcomings of competition and what to improve. You'll go through multiple rounds of interviews, and through the early phases things will move quick, usually about a week or two for the hiring manager and regional interviews, then a final panel. Until they get all the information out of you about the competition and decided they took enough hints from your ideas, then the responses slow down, and diminish to the point everyone who continually spoke to you through the process goes ghost. In the midst of the interviewing process, like others said, they'll try to recommend a different, much lower entry level position and lure you back in at some point and then disappear again. They did this company a huge dishonor with this interviewing process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
General questions about your background, what inspires you, what did you do at Tesla, etc?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Lucid Motors (Millbrae, CA) in Aug 2025
Interview
The recruiter seemed very friendly and helpful. I made it through 3 interviews and then was ghosted. I even sent a follow up email and got no response. I understand recruiters get busy and have a lot on their plate but after making it to final round interviews a simple decline email would suffice. But to totally drop the candidate seems very unprofessional.

Question 1
“Pitch to me why I should buy a Lucid car over any other EV.” - This was a final round interview question
Three rounds. One with the market leader of the studio, one with the director of sales, and one with sales analyst. Didn’t seem co-ordinated as the three of them would contradict each other. HR takes forever to communicate to you.
I applied online. I interviewed at Lucid Motors (Palo Alto, CA) in Jan 2024
Interview
I applied online through the Lucid Webpage and within a couple of weeks received an invitation to meet with the recruiter.
We set up a time to meet and she was a No-show. I emailed the recruiter 15 minutes after our scheduled start time and received a response that her computer had problems and she'd reschedule.
We then set up and confirmed a second meeting time. 45 minutes before our scheduled time the same recruiter emailed and said she was having problems with her AT&T Phone and may not be able to meet. I acknowledged and said I understand (even though there's Zoom, MSFT Meetings, set your phone to call using VoIP, etc.).
Four Business days later I received a generic "You've been passed along to the next round of interviews, please provide me with times to set up a Zoom meeting" email. I offered a Wednesday Afternoon, and the following entire five business days as available times."
After several follow-ups, I've been ghosted and have heard nothing from Lucid since.
I get that business priorities change, but unprofessional is unprofessional and a waste of candidates time.
