Third Midsize model Speculation

[JB67]

As something to do while I am waiting on the Gravity media reviews and for Gravity to show up in the Seattle Studio, I started to wonder what was the third of the 3 Midsize models was that has been referenced by both Peter and the interm CEO.
Thus, there are a couple statements I would like to put forward for consideration and speculation:
1) The three models have been described as an in-town/commuter CUV, the other a off road focused crossover, and a departure from Lucid as we know it (can’t find exact quote now for some reason, anyone have it handy?).
2) Peter said in his Linked’in farewell post that he had signed off on the “advanced engineering phase” of two of the three midsize vehicles.

I am assuming that the “departure” midsize (DMid) is the same one Peter didn’t sign off on.

The core competencies and goals of Lucid Motors appear to be based off of car reviewer comments:
1) Packaging (space)
2) Handling
3) Efficiency (range)

My guess is either the much maligned minivan or a pickup truck. I can’t think of any other category of vehicle that isn’t commercial focused that might be against those tenants other than an off roader which they said they are building. Anyone else have an idea?

FYI I really hope it is a minivan! I want the practicality of those sliding doors and the ROOM inside.

Hoping for a roadster.

I am guessing it to be either a truck (Ford maverick size) or a shooting break/wagon for EU market.

Hoping for a roadster.

That would be my vote

I thought they said a Crossover, an SUV and some sort of off-roady thing?

 

[JB67]

@Bobby and @Amster why do you think roadster? Or is it literally a “hope” like my minivan?

@patriots328 I hadn’t thought of the EU market……hmmm.

So three votes for roadster/two door, 2 for pickup, and one for minivan.

Thanks guys for weighing in! (Kind of Gravity pun).

That is my problem right now, I haven’t found the exact quote.

This would be a good time to introduce an affordable Model Y competitor if the goal is focused on volume.

That’s what the midsize is.

Just a hope. As much as I love my Air, I really prefer driving smaller cars most of the time.

Likewise. I usually get a new car about every 5 yers or so. If Lucid will come out with a smaller midsize that has the same luxury, handling, and acceleration as my AGT then I will be first on line to put in my order.
The only exception that I would consider buying another Air is if they offer rear wheel steering on the Air which would make parking in tight spots much easier. Otherwise it is a smaller car for me in about 2 years.
