I’m not looking for a new car until fall of 2022, when we’ll let our son take one of our old cars to college. So, I’ve put in reservations for the Lucid AGT and the BMW iX. We need winter driving range of at least 220 miles to make a regular drive from Boston to Vermont. Obviously, the Lucid AGT has more than enough range for a lead foot to drive the distance, but I don’t think the BMW iX will make it in cold weather with an estimated EPA range of 300 miles. Otherwise, it’s a daily driver for your usual bumper to bumper slog on Boston highways.
Which car would you take for these kind of circumstances? Lucid: Brilliant engineering and design, but first car, unknown track record, and unknown future. BMW: So-so engineering, inefficient design, but predictable.
I’ve thought about the EQS but think the ergonomics will drive me nuts. And I have trouble with Tesla, given quality concerns and general untrustworthiness.
I think the BMW iX will be a bit over $100K spec’d to my liking. The Lucid AGT is $140K. Is the $40K difference between the two cars worthwhile? And when you look at a Lucid AGT (which I’ve never seen in real life), do you see $140K in value there?
