That's true for the buyers who are just chasing stats, of which there will be some. (Indeed, Lucid is probably depending on them to sell many of these cars.)
However, I do have to say something in defense of wanting the Sapphire's performance for daily use on public roads. Our Dream Edition Performance is astoundingly quick and has more power than anyone needs. But the one thing about the experience of driving the Plaid that truly stands out is its instantaneous response to the throttle. I've said it elsewhere, but where the Lucid seems to defy the laws of inertia, the Plaid seems to repeal them. There is a tipping point somewhere between the power-to-weight ratio of the Lucid DE and the Plaid that takes you into another realm of accelerative experience.
When you get into the throttle of the Lucid Dream P, the car responds with an instant thrust of prodigious power, but you nevertheless feel the mass of the car working against you. The Plaid almost gives the sensation of being utterly devoid of mass. It's really quite an eerie feeling, actually more enjoyable on an open road as that level of power coming on is actually scary in traffic and should not be called up (especially as the Plaid doesn't have a suspension that is as up to its task as the Lucid's is).
I have to admit that the prospect of having a car with the size, comfort, handling prowess, luxury -- and weight -- of a Lucid with the otherworldly sense of weightlessness of a Plaid is enticing well beyond anything on a stat sheet. And I think that is the Sapphire.
