Does anybody know the turning diameter of the Lucid, since it is a fairly large car

This "Smoking Tire" podcast contains what may be the most praise-filled review of the Lucid Air yet. Unlike many other reviews, they also got most of the technical details of the car right.
For those who've been concerned about the ride, they said the Air was one of the three smoothest rides they've ever experienced in a car (one of the other two being a Mercedes Maybach). They also were amazed at the combination of precise handling with this highly-compliant ride, comparing it to a Lotus suspension. (And guess who was once head of Advanced Engineering at Lotus . . . .)

40 ft dia. So, a 20ft turning radius? Seems big to me. My Jag has a turning radius of 18ft and our Mercedes is 19-1/2ft. They must have a good reason for it.
