Lucid Air Touring v Porsche Taycan

[mikecronis]

Seems Porsche sorted out their early bugs then! Could be luck-of-the-draw. Really hard for me to choose between a GTS and an Air GT...
Some Porsche folks did not have the same positive experience, however, as you have; with weeks in-the-shop. I'll keep lurking back and forth like a creeper I guess for a few more weeks before I pull the trigger. Pros and cons and both sides.

I would say if you want the best sports sedan go Taycan. If you need space for family use…large rear legroom, trunk, frunk, etc… go with the lucid.

Space is not needed, as I'm used to Lotus Elise Touring as a daily driver. Performance-wise, the Air GT and Taycan seem similar but the Air has a faster 0-100 mph.
If the Air GT was fitted with GT-P rubber, it'd potentially get close to the Taycan GTS lateral-g of 1.0 compared to the Air's 0.9 maybe. A full tenth is significant though.
It's my initial opinion the Air after all the OTA updates is potentially more reliable than the Taycan and is more cruise-y and swank.

And if you want something in between, go Lucid!

There’s also the case of “supporting the underdog.” If I was really on the fence (as if simply could not decide), I’d personally rather help Lucid than Porsche with my $$.
