Everything I LOVE and HATE about my Lucid Air Touring!
I leased my Lucid Air Touring 6 months ago and I've really enjoyed getting to know the car over the past 2500 miles I've driven in it. Lucid is absolutely killing it on their first ever production car- but there's a lot left to do. Today I'll dive deep and reveal the ownership experience of living with Lucid Air!

Why I leased a Lucid Air and YOU should too!
Переглядів 265 тис.8 місяців тому
Today let's examine my new Lucid Air Touring!

Why is this 2009 Porsche TWICE the price of a 2008?

Thanks to shenanigans, I own 2 987 Porsche Caymans. With one 987.1 2008 Cayman S and one being a 987.2 2009 Cayman S. With a rather unique opportunity at hand, I figured this was a good time to offer a comparison between two very similar cars... for twice the price, does a 98.2 Cayman S give you that much more than one just a year older?

    I want it but on my salary there is no way I can afford it they need to make it more affordable in SUV form for around $25,000 to $30,000 thousand dollars sticker price and watch them sell like hotcakes .That is exactly my style of a car though it's not futuristic it's more old fashion meets a new car it's elegant.❤ for me to afford it I couldn't afford any more then $415.00 a month and in my budget is a bit steep for me I have other bills I need to pay . It's ironic the first electric car that I absolutely Love but I cannot afford right now .

    Starting with the high end sedans was not an error for Lucid. At first they had very limited manufacturing capacity, expensive parts that they were outsourcing during the plague, and nobody who knew what they were about. How to separate from Fisker/Canoo/Polestar/i-Pace and every other new EV at that time? Auto journalists love sports cars and high performance sports sedans. That's what Lucid delivered. It earned them all of the "Car-Of-The-Year" type awards, still does, glowing reviews. Road & Track said sometimes the Dream Drive Lucid's aero wheel covers blow off if you go over 175mph. VERY few cars can really go over 175. Really. All then had Italian or German names. All were over $200k, well over. And none had four comfy seats with a refined ride and roomy trunks for the family's luggage. The press Loved the Lucid Air, and that was the point. It made a statement. It still does. 3 years later my 800+hp Air GT is probably the quickest car in my town, and may be the most comfortable. But, no, sedan's aren't for most people. For those others, the Lucid Gravity SUV is now open for orders. Demo cars and test drives will be available soon (if not already) at your nearest Lucid studio. Production has started, will grow steadily in Lucid's new giant Arizona factory, and it will definitely be high-trim units first. If you want to be the first kid on your block with the cool new toy it's not to late to get on the list.
