Sure, Lucid’s luxury sedan isn’t the most Grassroots car on the planet, but neither was the E39-chassis BMW M5 back when it was on showroom floors.
That’s why we said yes not just to a loan, but to an EV road trip: We’re going to rack up more than 500 miles over the next few days, attempting to find out if the Lucid is a bona-fide performance sedan or just another electric appliance full of donor parts for our next Miata swap.
Follow this thread to tag along in real time as we experience one of the youngest car brands in the country, take an EV road trip and possibly even meet a famous BMW for a little comparison test.

Do watch your head as you climb (fall) into the car. That roofline is as low as a Miata with the roof up.
Which trim level of the Lucid Air did you get to play with? Dream, Grand Touring, Touring, Pure?
Saw one at an autocross event. Scary fast.
Car acquired! It's time to go for a drive. We're in the entry-level model, the "Pure"
We've got four adults in the car for the first 45 minutes, as my parents need a ride to the airport. There is a shocking amount of space inside--we haven't even opened the frunk and fit four people's luggage inside.
Rear headroom is fine, but Margie smacked her head on the way in.
Who likes screens?
eh, I could get used to the screens. But, Music - is it quiet enough on the highway to listen to classical music w/o blasting?
In reply to flistener :
Yes, it's basically silent on the highway.
It's my "S class money" favorite car right now. It looks about perfect.
Is it?
Told my parents to take a good look at one for their next car
