Dreaming ahead in the city that never sleeps. This week, we shared the #LucidAir with the world famous Classic Car Club Manhattan at an exclusive preview event in New York City.

The "Out of Spec Motoring" video of this event said that the Air will have power-operated passenger doors, but they will not be available at start of production. This means, I assume, that the Dream Edition will not have them while later, less-expensive versions will. Given that the rear doors will open a full 90 degrees, the absence of this feature could pose a difficulty.

Power-operated trunks and hatchbacks have been around for several years on cars far less expensive than the Lucid Air. The associated technology (sensors, actuators, etc.) is hardly new. I wonder why the Air will not launch with this feature? Does this also mean the early production cars will also not have power-operated trunks or hoods?
 
Lucid has confirmed that, although the initial production vehicles will have soft-close doors at launch, fully power-operated doors will only come later.
