In home charger

It is an option that is good. Whether it's the best for you is up to you.
Do you already have a level 2 charger from a previous car? If so, probably not worth replacing it.
Do you get the $1000 charging credit with your car? If so, that's a pretty good deal.
Do you have capacity for an extra 100A breaker in your panel?
Do you even need the extra charging speed as compared to e.g. a 40A or 48A charger? If you're not likely to forget to plug in and you aren't regularly driving 200+ miles in a day, probably not.
Other than being 80A, there's nothing special about Lucid's charger. It doesn't currently have any remote monitoring/management features via a smartphone app like some of the more popular ones.

Reminds me of the punchline, "other than that Mrs Lincoln, how did you like the play?"
The Lucid home charger, as noted by segbrk, is an 80 amp charger, so it charges at twice the speed of other L2 chargers. It costs more, but if you're going to pay for installation it's just fraction more of the total cost. And, I hesitate to say, it will (allegedly) support V2H someday...
