This week, we meet up again with our neighbor Steve who was a previous Model X and S owner. He was one of the first in the world to own a Lucid Air Grand Touring and has now driven on several road trips and thousands of miles. We discuss his likes, dislikes and how this car differs from his Tesla experience after 6 months of ownership.

Congratulations on getting a Lucid! My wife and I both bought Lucids at the end of 2022. We love them! Luxurious and incredibly easy to drive, the car simply takes care of you. The best vehicle either of us has ever owned. With a 500 plus mile range for road trips, we don't have the range anxiety I experienced with Tesla (I understand Lucids will have access to Tesla supercharging stations in 2025). Although my particular Lucid is faster than any Tesla except the Plaid, I always drive it in "smooth" mode and try to stick to in-City speed limits. Often when I turn onto the roadway outside my neighborhood, large pickups or SUVs far behind me will speed up to bear down and "own" me, for some reason. I simply tromp on the accelerator and even "smooth" mode instantly "transports" me far ahead of them before I slip back into the speed limit. It's interesting to watch them catch up to look and see what the heck kind of car could move like this.

I'm a Tesla owner with a reservation for a Lucid. It doesn't mean that I like the Tesla any less than before. Objectively, they are better than when they were new, thanks to updates. Lucid is different, and has things that Tesla doesn't. It's also not what Tesla was going for. They didn't fall short, but chose a different path with a more spartan look and a different focus. I'd encourage anybody who is looking for a car to test drive the competition too. As far as Tesla fans, they've made millions of cars and only a small percentage of them ever comment online. Most Tesla fans I know are Tesla fans because they like the car. After they bought it they were generally more impressed than beforehand. I don't see a lack of objectivity except perhaps in interactions with the same people before they had a Tesla. Unfortunately I don't know anybody personally with a Lucid.

Unfortunately Tesla can't add 360 degree parking view to any of their current cars. There are several blind spots in the current camera suite. The biggest is that cars with 360 parking view have a camera in the nose to cover a blind spot from the nose to over a foot or so out. Tesla's camera suite also has about a 10 degree blind spot off the left and right corners of the back bumper. There would just be too many blind spots in a Tesla 360 view for it to be useful.

I’ve noticed Tesla has recently updated their cars and are now moving more towards Lucid’s features. Which is exactly why I hope Lucid doesn’t go under. They’re much more innovative than Tesla and can actually give them a run for their money. Which is some much needed competition in the EV market.

Used Lucid Airs seem to be the way to go because the price drops are so hard. I also hope Lucid survives, but I do feel like their leadership was most focused on doing the SPAC. Lucid recently claimed they have some things they can do raise more funds, but they are burning through cash like water going over the Niagra Falls. Saudi Arabia has been building up their EV company and it just so happens Lucid is building an EV factory is SA, because their biggest investors is the Saudi government. I see Lucid being totally bought out by Saudi Arabia and then merged into their EV company where both Lucid and the Saudi EV will be built in Lucid factories. Lucid leadership has not been updating their vehicles the way Tesla has to cut costs. Some of that could be financial issues, but considering the massive losses they take per unit built, getting a simpler and quicker to build Air into production is crucial to their future. I am guessing they will run out of funds before the Gravity reaches true production.

A coworker recently took delivery of a Cadillac Lyriq. He didn't make it home from the dealer before a warning light illuminated. It had something to do with battery temperature control and the car refused to charge when he got home. He got it back to the dealer and a day later they said they fixed it. But the problem recurred. He took it back a second time and they gave him a loaner to drive. A week and a half later they are still trying to accomplish the repair. This is his fourth EV after a Chevy Volt, a Chevy Bolt, and a Mustang Mach E. He won't consider a Tesla because he doesn't like Elon Musk.

Tesla's Supercharging network is second to none. But now that they've sold a record number of cars, those supercharger wait times are being tested.

To be fair about the epa mileage with the EV’s, I’ve never gotten close to the estimated MPG on any of my regular ice vehicles. I feel they have always lied about estimated mileage for decades.
@yvesvandenbroek6055 11 місяців тому
I beat the EPA with my iX more often than not, with normal driving (no hyper mil.) on 22 inch wheels.

I haven't either. With the Model S, I never got rated range, but wasn't so far away for it that it was meaningless. With the Model 3, I was able to get rated range or better. I haven't really looked into that for a long time because the range is so far greater than what I'd use on any given day, and with solar power, it's moot with respect to cost. For long trips, I'll stop for meals and restrooms anyway, and actual range gets me to places with more than enough left that I can typically charge only when I'd be stopped anyway.

As a longtime Tesla S owner it was once true that you didn't have to wait to charge at a Tesla super charger, but recently I have had to wait to charge, mostly at high volume charger, like on the NL Turnpike. Possible reasons: Tesla is selling a lot of cars. Tesla is opening up its chargers to other EV models. I fear waiting to charge at a Tesla super charger will become more common.

For a while perhaps but Tesla will keep installing more at a rate which should aleviate the problem.

It's funny I can tell who is a tesla owner by people that keep saying its going out of business. Other people could careless and just give their thoughts on the car. Ur obviously jealous it's another car the average joe tesla owners can't afford. 😂 better luxury and actually head turning on the road. Ain't no one double taking or taking a pic of a tesla. They look like basic traffic

It's an elegant design, the one brand that offered something Tesla didn't, if not better at least good in a different way. Sort of future retro art deco design that would play well in a movie and architect sensibility interior. But it's not cheap, prices start where Tesla's end. It's not clear that it has much more utility than a Tesla 3P and to match the performance the price is around Plaid. Looks like it has nvidia hyperion orin chip which depending on generation has quite a bit of compute, comparable or superior to Tesla's. But whether they have a software development team to deliver is another matter. They might rely on nvidia software if nvidia delivers something actually end usable. the impressive demo tesla showed off long ago long before they could deliver on it I believe was nvidia software. originally I was leaning towards tesla just using nvidia chips until such time they really knew what they would need in the final solution.

This was 10 months ago, so I'm sure that with the rumors of Tesla opening their charge stations to third-party charging, Steve must be exited! I'm looking to purchase the Lucid Gravity, and I'm waiting to see if the rumors come to fruition!
