Electrek likes the Lucid Air as its "Model S Alternative"

[californiaboy935]

The Air's frunk is sensational. The ability to drop a full-size suitcase straight in, while also leaving room for small handbags etc around it, instantly vaults the usability of this sedan into midsize ICE SUV territory. And yes it's my go to for groceries -- just the perfect size without things flopping around in the trunk. As far as the trunk itself is concerned, there are some magical things you can do with the deep trunk well to eke out basically as much total cargo volume as my old BMW X5. Except that the Air has much more rear legroom, is 5x more efficient, accelerates like a rocket, and handles like it's on rails.

Couldn’t agree more!! Just used it to pick up a bunch of stuff with a friend from Harbor Freight, was cavernous, and was another reason he can’t wait to get a Gravity.

Clown car levels of sensational storage space.

I’d buy an Air in 3 seconds if they updated some of the tech and software to Gravity levels AND if they made it a hatch like the S. I can’t get enough of how convenient my S is for cargo and such and I don’t think I can ever go back to a standard sedan arrangement. If they made a sapphire in a hatch I might even spend the $250k even though I don’t really responsibly have it.

That hatch in the Tesla compared with the trunk upper cross beam in the Air is part of the reason our Model S started developing squeaks and groans in the rear quarters by 10,000 miles, and our Air remains quiet and rock solid at over 36,000 miles.
