"rotten yolk " , eh ??? I like it.I think Tesla is now offering a round steering wheel for $700 to replace the rotten yolk
N need to repeat all the reasons to buy the LUCID but if you're bent on more power, buy the Performance LUCID
Yes I believe Tesla doesn't have adaptive steering yet.Please correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the yokes for Toyota/Lexus completely different in how much turning you get compared to the Tesla yoke? The Tesla yoke was just a wheel replacement whereas the Lexus yoke modulates the amount of rotation you get right?
In my opinion, that horn button is undoubtably dangerous. Tell me how decades of muscle memory of mashing the center of the steering wheel in an emergency to alert another driver is going to be magically erased and you will know exactly where on the wheel or yoke to press a small button to activate the horn. I had an incident just a week ago in my model S, which has the standard normal steering wheel, where an Audi SUV, swerved into my lane, and I immediately reacted by slamming on the brakes and mashing the horn. There’s no way I would’ve thought in a millisecond reaction time to press a button on a steering wheel. Horn location and activation method really should be mandated by the government and not willy-nilly decided at the whims of a maniacal CEOWorth noting, the round wheel still lacks standard stalks. So it’s the same weird turn signal buttons and touch screen for changing drive modes.
Same thinking process. I thought about getting a MS but decided to get the touring and I have zero regrets. Maybe I will run into some issues, but this forum has educated me well enough and Lucid has been very responsive.I think you need to ask yourself some questions as to what you are looking for.
Do you want a super fast car with poor quality and almost no support? if yes, get the Tesla ( I have had two model S). Maybe you dont drive that much and just want that fast rush every so often.
Do you want an amazing ride with a quick car , and are willing to grow with a new company? if yes, get the Lucid.
Is self driving important to you? If yes, get Tesla
Do you want to have long range? if yes, get Lucid
Is comfort important to you? get Lucid
You love Elon Musk Kool-Aid? Get Tesla
All I can tell you, that I admit my Lucid has its software bugs, no car is perfect! But having said that, I will easily choose it over my Tesla.
Yes, the stupid gear change via screen almost caused my aunt to be in accident. And the signal buttons don't work correctly 1/3 of the timeWorth noting, the round wheel still lacks standard stalks. So it’s the same weird turn signal buttons and touch screen for changing drive modes.
Touring really should not be compared to the Plaid. GT would be the better comparison.I think you need to ask yourself some questions as to what you are looking for.

My son drove my DE for about a month beforegetting a Model X Plaid. He loves the Lucid, but the Tesla has features that he really likes and at the moment, the software is much better in the Telsa.I think you need to ask yourself some questions as to what you are looking for.

I have a Lucid Touring booked getting close to delivery. But really torn between that and a Model S Plaid. Performance vs Comfort. Roughly same price +/- 10K.
Any thoughts? What would you get?
Thanks in advance!
My plan was to buy a Plaid S, the new yoke/joke along with the rest of the controls and the giant iPad was all a huge turnoff to me. What's crazy is my new daily driver is going to have 225 more HP than my summer/weekend car......
I do wonder if I have a loose screw in my skull, buying my first electric and being somewhat of a guinea pig for Lucid
That's my post from April, having owned my AGT for 3 plus months and driven it for 4,000 miles I have no doubt I made the right choice.I have a Lucid Touring booked getting close to delivery. But really torn between that and a Model S Plaid. Performance vs Comfort. Roughly same price +/- 10K.

Tesla best quality car was the P85+. Since that car , quality has gone down. The worst part is that there is no support. You just can’t call and talk to someone. My biggest reason to switch to Lucid was support/service.Touring really should not be compared to the Plaid. GT would be the better comparison.
Poor quality on Tesla??? Hmm - have not experienced that on my refresh Model S and I am extremely picky.
Tesla is an also a fast car and good ride. Have not gotten my Lucid yet or had a test drive, so can’t compare, but sounds like Lucid ride is better.
Lucid GT has far more range than Model S LR, but not much less than Touring and Pure is almost a dead match. So, depends what Lucid Air you are talking about.
My Model S seems extremely comfortable and everyone that has driven with me has thought the same. So, if Lucid is even more comfortable that will be great!
Tesla charging network - absolutely nothing comes close in the US or Canada.
Could care less who owns any company, as long as they are successful. You can say the same thing about the Saudi’s owning a big stake in Lucid, but who cares. Elon’s companies, Tesla, Space X, Solar, etc are all definitely successful and leading their industries.
Get so tired of the negativity on Tesla on this forum and some people just stating misinformation or biased info. I just don’t get the hate towards Tesla, as they are the ones that really kicked off the EV industry and others are all still trying to catch. You can mention positives and negatives of every auto manufacturer, including Lucid.
I am no Tesla fan boy either, as my first one, but have definitely enjoyed it after one year of ownership and still amazed by it every time I drive it.
If Lucid Air is even better, then that will be awesome!
Please don't track your Tesla unless you mean the drag strip. They are severely under-brakedAfter owning a Tesla for four years and an Air for three months, I'm going to offer my opinion without nuance as usual: If you're planning to track the car frequently or very often take long road trips with children (supercharger vs CCS), buy the Tesla. In any other situation, the Air is a much nicer (and cooler!) car with far better comfort and convenience: quiet with a beautiful interior, blind-spot warning in side mirrors, 360-degree parking cams, automatic rear cross-traffic/pedestrian braking, among many other things that make the car a joy to use on a daily basis. The Air has a way to go on software development but this is improving rapidly.
Lately, much of this hate toward Elon you read from people (not just here) is unfortunately based on politics. In addition to his incredibly successful ventures you already mentioned, his Starlink system has helped people in impoverished countries as well as aiding communication in the Ukraine.Get so tired of the negativity on Tesla on this forum and some people just stating misinformation or biased info.
