Realistically, there is no way that Lucid can readily catch up with Tesla on the software side. Eventually, sure, but not for some time. So if the software is a controlling issue for someone on a purchase decision, Tesla would be the way to go. But no car or car company is close to perfect so buying a car is a matter of matching shortcomings and benefits with your desires and making a decision based on that. For example, i am a BMW owner and love the way BMWs drive. I test drove the BMW IX and loved the interior and the way it drove. But it was just so ugly (IMO) that I had to give it a pass. But if your tastes are different from mine, then it might be a good car for you with more mature software than Lucid (BMW has been making some kind of electric car since 2013).
