I have a question for owners who have both Model S and Lucid about body strength, flex and driving impressions. We have a Touring and a Pure reservation and also have a Rivian Reserved. Since Lucid and Rivian were going to take longer to arrive, we bought a relatively new Pre Owned Model S 100D. I am coming from driving Q5 so my experience is a comparison of what i have felt so far. Q5 is significantly better at shockers and is a much smoother ride. Model S is bumpy and maybe it's because of the tires on it which are still original Michelins. I am thinking of changing them to something smoother for a more comfortable ride but not sure if that would help. If I had spent full 105K on a new Model s, I would be highly disappointed. A car that's over 100K needs to have better shock absorption with Air suspension. Also, Model S body is significantly less solid/substantial that Audi. I can try to press the front trunk cover in Audi but it won't bend or flex. Its body is heavy and substantial and feels quality. Model S flexes to my chagrin . If i press on front trunk cover, it flexes as if it was a weak/cheap steel cover. I have driven a Polestar 2, which is lot heavier for its size but body is solid.
So the question is : Do you find Lucid to be more or less bumpy than Model S? Also, is Lucid's body more substantial/solid vs Model S? Appreciate the response.
