For Air Pure reservation holders, are you opting for the Dual Motors, AWD or the Single Motor, RWD option? I am curious also, what are your main reasons for choosing one option over the other?
RWD at 460hp should meet most peoples needs. I drove a 200hp FWD decades old ICE car in distinct geographical areas with distinct weather. However we are wired to think more is better and wanting more than what we need. Hence we look for more computing power in a cellphone than what is required for typical usage. So I may go with AWD after all.For Air Pure reservation holders, are you opting for the Dual Motors, AWD or the Single Motor, RWD option?

OP, I believe the choice is ultimately dependent on where one lives. AWD is important for snowy cities.
I am pretty simple when it comes to dealing with vendors. The clear implication of all the advertising has been that the Pure will be around 480 HP; if they materially reduce that, I lose trust and then move on to another seller. If I can't trust the car company on this, can I trust it on its warranty, etc.?Pure is "up to 480 HP" The RWD motor may be power restricted. right?
They definitely have a different feel.I suspect Lucid will not start production of the RWD cars until the AWD orders are filled. You can blindfold me and I bet I can tell a 911 AWD from a RWD before I leave the parking lot.
I don't believe the dual motor will give less mileage because the 520 mile GT edition is a dual motor which gives the best mileage480 HP is more than enough for me.
Dual motor means more power consumption per mile.
I drive from Fort Myers, Florida to Boston, Massachusetts, and back, every year, and never in the snow.
Therefore, unless Lucid has a different battery configuration for the Pure dual motor vs the single motor, I'll take the RWD version.
They're sorting that out on the fly, but have remained fairly stable for months now. That's why the Nov. 15 "launch" is such a big deal - everything gets baked and questions get answered. But in regards to interior - I don't think there's any significant change in that over time. The Pure has only ever had one interior color and material option.Am I remembering correctly that without AWD one does not get the 360 degree view or is that tied to the DD Pro update only?
What also concerns me about the Pure which I have originally reserved and confirmed is the de-contenting of the interior. When I compare it to the Touring on the configurator, the differing fabrics that gave the interior punch seem to be replaced with monochromatic material which makes it look like a Chevy Malibu. Is this right or is my perception off?

but 911 is ICE. i dont think you can tell a pure RWD from AWD with the same scenario lolI suspect Lucid will not start production of the RWD cars until the AWD orders are filled. You can blindfold me and I bet I can tell a 911 AWD from a RWD before I leave the parking lot.
