I’m not writing this having invested in the company but as a driving enthusiast- a former gearhead. I’ve been converted to an electron head.
I’ve mentioned this many times, after almost 4 years, I’m still madly in love with my Lucid, despite the initial software issues and minor trim fixes. It’s a magnificent feat of engineering , almost on par with Porsches in the driving dynamics. And from a brand new company. For this, you have to give credit to Lucid leadership ( especially Peter Rawlinson) and engineers. They persisted despite the cost implications of creating one of the best drivers EV, arguably, one of the best sport sedans ever made in the Air, and the best 3 row SUV ever made- and this is not an argument. They could have compromised and built a body over a battery with some wheels and a suspension. NO COMPROMISE!
They’ve been through COVID, inflation, supply chain issues, high interest rates, MSRP/Income caps for EV credit with Biden’s administration, loss of entire EV credits and carbon credits with the Trump administration, loss of charging infrastructure support from Trump administration, entire present US administration against EV support, EV negativity, Trumps tariffs and now again inflation from the Iran war.
Despite all this, Lucid has been chugging along. Yes, they had their missteps, with Gravity release, software issues, leasing, service. But considering what they had to deal with ( including hate from investors, fear mongering about bankruptcy and criticism about leadership decisions) , I have to admit, I am grateful they persisted with their vision, and gave me the opportunity to drive the Magnificent Lucid Air. They never compromised on “real” engineering. I have lost all interest in Ferrari’s…..that’s how good this car is!
They will soon be releasing the Cosmos….their 3rd vehicle in 5 years- quite an accomplishment from a small brand new car company, and I’m sure it will be another Magnificent Machine!
I was driving my Lucid Air home from work today, and it gave me the most magnificent smile!
Thank you Lucid!
