    My DA was great, and my SA has been exceptional. DA came from Oregon and delivered 3 cars in the same trip. SA is located here and is very personal and responsive.

    Sapphire vs. Rimac Nevera

    Ok, I exaggerate...but not by much. I tried to time it with my phone but it flew out of my hand. Next I tried to time it with my watch but it flew off my wrist. Then I tried to count with my fingers but they both broke off my hand before I could count them. So I tried to count out loud but...

    Sapphire vs. Rimac Nevera

    I agree it’s hard to initially justify spending $250k for a daily driver that runs a constant risk of being dinged in parking lots or rear-ended by idiots or hitting rim-ruining potholes. It’s also hard to see the need for a car that does 0-60 in 1.8s to drive daily and sit in traffic. But I...

    Sapphire vs. Rimac Nevera

    I agree completely.

    Sapphire vs. Rimac Nevera

    These are all great cars, but each very different. The 911 GT3 is superb. (I had a 991 GT3, sold to make room for a Speedster which is a GT3 convertible). The GT3 is really different than the Rimac, very visceral and connected, very upright driving position, very spacious and open and airy. It...

    Sapphire vs. Rimac Nevera

    I put down a $50k deposit for a Tesla Roadster years ago, and am still hopeful they’ll build it!

    Sapphire vs. Rimac Nevera

    I have not driven a Neverra. But believe it or not I HAVE test-driven a Pininfarina Battista (!) which I was considering purchasing as an investment. The Battista is basically a Rimac with some alterations to the body, interior and suspension. If you are asking whether there is any comparison...

    Bout ready to cancel. Am I panicked?

    Also, we should have flying cars (powered by Mr. Fusion!) within the next few decades, so maybe hold off until then?

    Bout ready to cancel. Am I panicked?

    To answer your question directly, yes you’re overreacting. The way this and all forums work, mostly you’ll see negative information and feedback. The positive stuff gets lost. I’m a good example: once I got settled into my DE, I stopped posting and just enjoyed my car. Occasionally I’ll come...

    Comments From Strangers

    I doubt this had anything to do with race, but more with the fact that none of these cars are seen in public yet. So he’s curious if you work for the company. I frequently have people ask me similar questions such as “how did you get one of these??” and I’m just a poor-looking white dude.

    What make of car were you loyal to before Lucid? … Will you miss it?

    I would keep the Lucid, if I could keep only one. (I also have a Range Rover Supercharged that sits outside now). The Ferrari is fun for short stints, is wildly fast but in a much scarier manner than the Lucid (which is significant "faster" but in a more controllable way). Ferrari is not...

    Oh yes. She also had a large bird-feeder INSIDE the house.

    What make of car were you loyal to before Lucid? … Will you miss it?

    Ha ha! I am so glad you caught that. This is a house we are renting while we remodel our home. The previous owner was an eclectic artist and the entire house is awash in weirdness like orange-painted bricks, bright green front door, purple ceilings...and a 3-acre lot with lush gardens. My...

    Thinking of making the plunge--Steering column Creak?

    Mine comes and goes. Some days it is dead silent. Other days I can hear it. Service has me on a list to replace. Turn up the radio, it magically goes away.

    Still wavering on the fence

    My Model S has the light tan interior and glass sunroof that opens. To me it feels more open and spacious than the Lucid. Part of that is the windshield in the Tesla is more upright, and the side windows are larger, which creates more outward visibility. I personally find that the slope of...

    Still wavering on the fence

    I’ve been absent from the forum for a while, so I haven’t answered your original question. Glad to give my 2 cents: You have to want a “special “car to justify owning a Lucid. It is special, and different - and you pay the price for that in the purchase price and also tolerating the myriad of...

    Alright, What Is This In The Parking Lot?

    Looks like a Gravity to me!

    What did you sacrifice for a Lucid Air?

    Garage space! Range Rover parks outside now.
