    Poor test drive experience - getting cold feet?

    I view the competitors as the i5, Taycan, EQE, and Model S. The Lucid is much sportier than the i7 or EQS, although it has similar interior space. So it's the sportier more compact feel of the Taycan / i5 but with a lot more interior space. We previously owned a Taycan which I loved, however...

    Poor test drive experience - getting cold feet?

    I appreciate all of the replies. Sounds like service has been excellent, which is great to hear. My wife is convinced I will love the car and I still should go through with it. So at this point I'm sticking with the order and will hopefully take delivery in a couple of weeks. Part of the...

    Poor test drive experience - getting cold feet?

    My wife and I test drove a Grand Touring about 6 weeks ago and were extremely impressed. I would have ordered an Air right away however we are waiting for the Gravity. Then last week we were contacted by Lucid about the 18 month lease with Gravity priority. So we ended up ordering a Touring that...

    Cautionary body shop tale

    Someone backed into our Mercedes a couple of months ago. It took two months just to get on the shops schedule for an estimate. Luckily we didn't need any new parts, so they were able to respray the area quickly. All repair shops are extremely backed up right now. Things are probably slower with...

    18 month Air Touring lease with Gravity Priority

    I was an early Air Grand Touring reservation holder, but cancelled our order in May of 2022 after deciding to wait for the Gravity. I prefer a sedan, but my wife really wants an SUV. We've been on the email list for the Gravity and were recently contacted by Lucid about test driving an Air...

    Gravity or Model X?

    We went from a Model X to a Mercedes EQS SUV. We originally were going to buy a Lucid Air GT, but decided to wait for the Gravity as a sedan didn't make sense for us ultimately. The EQS is multiple levels above the Model X in terms of quality, luxury, tech, and ride. I can't believe the Model...

    MB EQS SUV Review make you go mmm….

    We cancelled our GT order back in April because we really wanted an SUV. We had an early Rivian R1S order and were planning on making that our primary vehicle instead of the Lucid. In August we were notified our R1S would be delayed again to 1st half of 2023, so I converted our order to the R1T...

    Available new inventory on Lucid's website

    I had an early Grand Touring order that I cancelled around March. Primary reason was wanting an SUV and not a sedan, nothing to do with Lucid specifically. I just received a call on Monday from Lucid saying they would honor my original $139k pricing, give back the $1000 deposit I lost when I...

    Anyone own Polestar 2?

    I've had a Polestar 2 for about 12 months. I'm leasing it as our second vehicle for around town and occasionally for local road trips. When I leased our P2 last fall, they offered really competitive lease rates. Cheaper than a Model 3, Mach-E, Ioniq 5, lease at that time. I prefer the look...

    Polestar 2

    I have a Polestar 2 as my daily driver. It's fun to drive, good handling, nice infotainment, and decent lane assist. The lane assist is better than my Audi E-tron SUV or my Taycan but not as good as Tesla. It does not automatically change lanes, but pauses the lane assist when you turn on a...

    Rivian Delivery Timeframe

    The R1S launch edition start deliveries in May 2022. My delivery window is July - August. There is a good chance it will be late, but everything is at the moment.

    Rivian Delivery Timeframe

    My wife and I decided to cancel our Air Grand Touring reservation. Ultimately we decided that we need a larger vehicle with three kids and two big dogs. I was pushing to make it work as I prefer sedans over SUVs, but after a lot of reflection we feel it's best to wait for another option. Our...

    Is going from 400 miles of range to 500 miles of range worth $40,000?

    The Porsche forum always had the same debates between the Taycan 4S / Turbo / Turbo S. The price difference was huge between the models, and it hardly seemed worth it for more horsepower. But when you configured a 4S or a Turbo with the Turbo S standard options, the gap became much smaller.

    Is going from 400 miles of range to 500 miles of range worth $40,000?

    Here is the real question: Is it worth $27,000 (GT - a fully loaded Touring) for an extra 100 miles of range, 200hp, and a more luxurious interior (additional alcantara in the GT).

    Road & Track: Who The Hell Is Going to Buy a Lucid?

    You need to stop reading the Tesla fanboy sites. Peter didn't cash out $160MM of his stock. He had RSUs (restricted stock units) which are part of his compensation. These are extremely common for directors and above at large corporations. RSU's typically vest over 1-3 years. When they vest...
