Leasing LUCID air

What you guys recommend in terms of insurance. Is Lucid insurance good

There is no such thing as Lucid Insurance, at least as related to Lucid Motors. There seems to be some insurance group named that, but it's completely unrelated.

Tesla has their own insurance thing, but Lucid doesn't.

If you search the forum for insurance, there are a lot of threads on it. I'll warn you, though, insuring an expensive car ain't pretty these days.

I have a ‘23 Pure with DDP and SSP. The Highway Assist for me in SoCal has been quite good and I am looking forward to the future software updates that have been announced. I do enjoy the SSP sound quality with Tidal.

I had test driven an Air Pure without these upgrades and then another Pure with these options and I could tell, the upgrades were worth it. You should test drive with and without these options to see if they are worth it for you. Take someone with you to get their opinion as well

Do I need to have Tidal. What about Spotify?

The quality of Spotify sucks hard if you are listening with a good sound system - IMO. Promising Hi-Fi for the last three years. I won't go back...
Personally, I like Qobuz as they managed to have the best sound (quality). Tidal is great as well and has the advantage of being available as an app on the Lucid.

You need a Tidal account and you can try it for free but check their current offer for duration. I think the monthly cost is not bad, $11, considering the quality and library offered. I’ve also used the native Alexa Amazon Unlimited Music through my wife’s Prime membership and it is also good but I like having an interface through the Tidal app within Lucid. I have not tried Spotify. Tidal seems to offer the best Atmos sound quality for streaming.

I think you mean Tidal. Alternative option is to take a USB with FLAC and test on the 2 different sound systems.

Have you tried this comparison with FLAC?
I thought the main feature of surreal sound pro was Dolby Atmos and spatial audio support.
I have surreal sound pro and mainly tried Amazon music Dolby Atmos soundtrack vs regular hd non Dolby Atmos soundtrack and I can tell the difference. I'm not an audiophile but I can hear sounds from certain areas and gives a more surround sound effect from the Dolby Atmos one.

Thank you so much for the responses. I really appreciate all the people who responded and provided some idea. I am going to get probably DDP and SSP together.

I got with both (and massage seats, soft close doors too) and don't regret that. It's definitely worth it.
From my point of view, I would weigh DDP a little more in terms of utility value compared to SSP.
My weight would be: DDP > 20 way massage > SSP > comfort and convenience

Just picked up GT with ddp, ssp, massage seats and c&c, coming from Tesla Model S. I would encourage you to get the packages - a much better world than Tesla (and that was my second MS)
