Lucid Air - The new Buick?

[JeffKeryk]

Someone told me it looks like the Lucid is for 80yr olds going to play bingo.
I can learn to play bingo, but $100K? Sheesh...

Jeff - totally disagree - bound to be moon or 42

Lexus is the new Buick.

There are a few good ones... But they don't make the GS anymore...

With those huge ugly wheels, its for geriatric homies.

The roofline; I just don't get it. You would think something like this would be at least a little edgy. But this?

It probably comes with all kinds of driver assist and life support systems standard.

Appearance wise, I like the looks of the Lucid. Tesla’s design does nothing for me.

I wouldn't want tires/wheels to be that low profile as that is costly damage waiting to happen with typical daily driving. I know the claims for the most aerodynamic for efficiency whatever, but that sort of thing isn't practical for most.

 

[Cujet]

I like the fact that it’s not an suv. Other than that, no thank you.

 

[Astro14]

I like the interior much better than Tesla’s. The range is impressive. The HP in the upper models is impressive as well.

Riding with Lucid Motors, the 1,000-horsepower electric car built to beat Tesla

The Air was originally slated to start shipping in 2018, but Rawlinson said that date has been pushed to early 2019.

Those would make Tesla seem like they're easy to repair by comparison!

Reminds me of the while "Landau" roofs of my childhood.

This is why GM, kept Buick and dropped Pontiac, in China, Buick is considered, the top brand

It looks like it was designed in one afternoon. Not bad, but totally underwhelming. They can and should do better than that.

That's my concern. I plan on getting a Model 3 Performance; the tire and wheel combo is great for performance but watch out for pot holes!

That's what I though. They try to build something to attract the Buick buyers in China (middle age upper middle class).

I like it....one the of the better looking EV's i've seen.
