Encountering this thread caused me to rewatch this video which I had seen shortly after it was published. It was such a pleasure to see a sophisticated, well-informed interviewer engage with an automotive executive type who is far too rare these days: one who has a lifelong love of cars, is profoundly steeped in his craft, and is willing to lay aside marketing hype to have a candid discourse on a product -- what it is, what it isn't, and why.
There are some things about Lucid marketing that are not to my taste (such as the obsession with California bears). But similarly informative interviews with Erich Bach and Peter Rawlinson's "Tech Talks" have elevated public discourse of Lucid's products to heights rarely seen in marketing. Of course, one of the reasons this is possible is that Lucid's technology can stand up to searching scrutiny.
We've had laudable service from our two Honda Odyssey minivans, but I'm getting almost as impatient for Lucid to open up the ordering books for the Gravity as I was five years ago for the Air.
