Motor Trend Car of the Year.
Rave reviews of the car itself (software and charging issues aside) from almost all the heavy hitters on YouTube and in print media.
Winner of the Goodwood Speed Festival Hill Climb.
Confirmed by every tester to have the longest range in real-world driving of any EV on the road today.
Performance and handling that blows even "Top Gear's" legendary "Stig" away.
Yet sales still struggling . . . .
Lucid has been hit by almost every whammy one can imagine: Covid-19 production disruptions, breakout inflation, general decline in car sales, interminable software gremlins, a CCS charging infrastructure that is letting everyone down. And only one of these has been Lucid's fault in any way.
It is all so depressing. I've had a lot of cars I've liked over the years, but I've always felt that if they disappeared from the market I could find something else equally or even more satisfying. The Lucid is the first car I've ever owned that I felt could not be replaced with another car with the same superb balance of performance, handling, luxury, comfort, and build quality.
God, I hope this company can hang in there until the stars come into better alignment. There is no other car on the road I find nearly as appealing.
