New purchase questions/advice

[AndrewB]

Hey all. I’ve found this forum super informative, and I love the enthusiastic community Lucid have built.
I’m about to pull the trigger on an Air Pure, Fathom Blue, Stealth, 20”, dream drive premium, surrealsound, 20 way seat with massage, comfort and convenience.
Looks awesome, and I did have a little test drive in a touring a while ago, and sat in another with a glass roof recently.

I do have a few questions for current owners though.

I’m 6’4”. How do taller folks like the car, getting in an out, comfort while driving?

Coming from a Mustang Mach E with a very rough drive, especially for passengers, I’ve been looking for something smooth for the bumpy LA roads. Is there much difference ride wise between the 19” and 20” and will it be a good upgrade of ride quality to my old car?

while I wanted the dream drive pro, the only cars available at the moment had premium, and it would seem the only thing I’d be missing at the moment would be the self steering as it seems they haven’t released the full self driving mode yet. Would I be missing anything else with premium?

I’m in the music biz, but not so bothered to drive around with atmos sound, and spend most of my time listening to Sirius and Spotify, so don’t mind the compromise with standard.

Thanks to anyone who has time to answer a few questions.

I can answer some of them.
My husband is 6'3". While getting in and out of my GT is harder than his car, it's not at all a dealbreaker. He still prefers to drive it over his Accord., unfortunately. Once inside, he's very comfortable.
You are correct, in that the only difference between premium and pro is the Highway Assist. I have DD Pro and while that's working really well now, I rarely use it. If I had had the choice when I bought my car, I probably would have saved money and gotten Premium myself. The cameras are great, and you definitely want those.
You'll get both opinions on the music option - Standard vs. Pro. It really just depends on what you hear. I think the last update made the sound different/better for both options.

I'm 6'5" and despite hearing about how low the roof was, I hit my head the first 2-3 times getting into the car, but those were all on the test drive day. Once I've gotten it, I know to bend my neck more and tilt my head way over, and I haven't hit it yet since owning it. comfort while driving is good, but I've found that my shoulders get really tired really quickly, which I've never experienced in other cars. I like to sit a decent distance from the wheel due to my legs, but that ends up meaning I have to reach farther with my arms than I'd like. The wheel on the Air telescopes, but not quite enough for me. If I take my hands away from 9 and 3, then it's no big deal, but I do 95% of my driving with my hands in those positions...

I do wish the telescoping went just a bit further. I'm only 6'2", but even I could benefit from it being longer.

I am 6'4. This was my experience as well. Hit my head a few times but figured out how to get in and out without incidence.
