Several things are already reasonably clear about the Lucid Air: it will be fast; it will have 400+ miles of highway range; it will be roomy; it will handle well; the dual-motor version will be expensive ($100K+)..
That leaves a lot of questions for people who might be seriously interested in the car. Here are mine . . . and I hope others will add theirs. My first three questions have to do with whether Lucid will offer three of my favorite features on the Tesla Model S:
1. Will the regenerative braking be programmed for one-pedal driving (as opposed to being activated only when the brake pedal is pressed)?
2. What are the angle and resolution of the rearview camera?
3. Will a Google Earth satellite view be displayed on the lower screen?
4. How will the batteries tolerate frequent fast charging and frequent charging to 100%?
5. Will the initial production run have the Mobileye EyeQ5 chip?
6. What will be the level of autonomous driving at introduction?
7. Will the glass canopy have electrochromic glass?
8. Now that the 130 kWh battery pack has been dropped in favor of a smaller pack, will all versions have the recessed rear footwells?
9. Will the rear bench seat be adjustable (such as slight back recline)?
10. Will the executive rear seating be available in early production cars?
11. What wheel and tire options will be available?
12. What entertainment media will be available?
13 . . . . .
