Hunting wild Lucid Airs

[xponents]

i thought your parents bought one?

Nope, we decided to just wait for the Gravity as it fits our needs better and got a EV9 as a stopgap.

My prediction, you will keep the EV9.

I’m thinking that’s a safe bet.

Main concern with the Gravity right now is toe-room and just general second row room/features (heated/ventilated captains chairs mandatory, preferably massaging too). If it delivers on these things and is still under 80-90k, we will have a day 1 reservation. The EV9 is a unreliable mess right now and the Gravity is simply better in a lot of other ways, such as cargo, driving dynamics, materials (not to as high of an extent as others say), looks, range, third row legroom (we could care less, all that really matters is the second row) and frunk space. However, two things that may be lacking are rear seat features and legroom/toeroom (and at what price those features are at). If it does not have those, then yes, we will likely stick with the EV9. By that point, the Lucid's would have to wait their turn until our 2014 Sorento gets replaced, probably in 2028 (although by then ill probably be in college with the lucid midsize).

“I didn’t buy the Gravity because of toe room” is the lamest excuse for anything I’ve ever heard.

Better come up with something more believable for when the time comes.

Alright, this is a first... spotted a spaceship accessory on top of a Lucid. I was waiting for it to teleport the Air to another galaxy

 

[Steveinarizona]

That is a lidar. We see ones like that, but slightly different, here in Arizona on Waymo self driving cars.

What’s that supposed to mean?? By toe-room (which is also lacking in the air), I mean space under the seat. At no point did I say only toe-room was the factor we “didn’t order the gravity” (which I also never said, reservations didn’t even open yet. never said it was ruled out, either). In fact, I quite literally conceded numerous things the Gravity was better than our current car at and listed things that we personally cared about. Our family does not care about driving dynamics (comfort and noise we do, though) and we do not care much about range. All we care about are features and space in the first two rows (and the third row, where the gravity absolutely destroys the ev9, not cargo though as both have more than we need) and the price for which those features are obtained, and we hope the Gravity does deliver on those things. I don’t really understand why you seem to have a problem with people who have different priorities in a car..

I also dont understand/appreciate the confrontational tone that implies it’s an excuse with the second paragraph and the wording in the first, especially when all my reasons have been clearly and honestly communicated. Perhaps you could explain why? Unless I’m misinterpreting your tone, which I hope I am.

Joke. Noun. 1. An instance of jesting. Synonym: kidding.

But seriously. You should be preparing yourself for some polite ribbing from your friends here if your folks decide against the Gravity. Just like you got when they didn’t go for the Air.

Ah, very sorry about that then. I guess I'm just used to people indicating kidding with an emoji, but I get how it could be a joke!

And yeah, it would be pretty funny if we didn't end up with a Lucid after all of this, but I'm fine with the ribbing!

Convinced your home address is 7373 Gateway Blvd Newark (search it up, you should understand )

LOLL, 28 minute drive from me to their HQ so maybe you could say that but in all honestly being in the Bay, you do see a good chunk of Airs!

Saw a new zenith red pure with 19" wheels and dark tint applied at the Laguna Design Center today. I was having lunch at Plumeria Cafe and spotted it parked a few spots away. If you're on the forum here, welcome to the neighborhood!

 

[Chrry]

Well, we're heading toward your neck of the woods next week, so we might see each other.
Where are good charging stations around Costa Mesa and Anaheim these days?
Thanks.

Ahhh did I miss your visit? I’ve been ill so haven’t been able to get on . There are a few. I’ve only been to 3-4 different stations.

Ok sooooo….. I was in the passenger seat of hubbys 4Runner and saw a Lucid at the light. We drove past it and I was hanging out of the window waving. If any of you saw this crazy woman waving at you in Orange County or possibly Cerritos …. It was meeeee

I've been spotted!! I told my wife (sitting in the passenger seat) "that's gotta be a forum member!"

 

[Chrry]

It was you???

I’m soooo glad . I wanted to have a white board with LucidOwners.com to hang out of the window with me
