Of course, Lucid, like Rivian and other startup EV companies, will have to do much more than deliver fast, good-looking vehicles that are entertaining to drive.
These new-generation EVs are going to have to deliver the same level of quality, reliability and ease of maintenance that consumers are accustomed to receiving. Lucid will not have a traditional dealership network, so it remains to be seen how well the company takes care of customer cars that can’t be fixed with over-the-air software updates.
One last thought on the three EVs I have tested recently, the Rivian R1T, the GMC Hummer EV pickup and the Lucid Air Dream Edition: These vehicles feel like the natural evolution of the automobile. For more than a century, engineers have been working to make the car smoother, quieter, more efficient and easier on the environment.
EVs accomplish all that with one, perhaps unexpected, twist: They are incredibly fun and engaging to drive.
