You know, I admit that Lucid was much more attractive to me BEFORE I sat in one. I give it points for physical controls, as you said. I prefer Lucid’s styling over Tesla’s which have been stagnant for a decade. The Tesla’s interior does nothing for me, they went for a “minimalist” design but to me it looks so barren that there is literally nothing to appreciate in their interior.
It is easy to look at the sexy things and overlook the negatives.
From the perspective of a consumer with a hole to burn in my wallet and not a car enthusiast scouring car forums I cannot overlook the negatives. How Tesla is handling maintenance and repairs does not reassure me. Fair or not, I have no idea how Lucid is logistically planning their approach to this problem. This issue isn’t even an afterthought for legacy automakers with dealerships everywhere.
The storage and 112 cubic feet, etc is mental masturbation. From everything I’ve read and watched and seeing the vehicle for myself the TX does not have a storage issue. Consumers are not going to be splitting hairs over storage space once you get to this point.
I hope Lucid or Rivian does well because more competition can only be a good thing. But Lucid has room for improvement when it comes to scaling up, build quality and logistics on how to handle repairs.
Maybe
