I've owned a Lucid Air Dream Performance since December 2021 and a Tesla Model S Plaid since August 2021 (replacing a 2015 Model S P90D). This is an excellent, well-organized, balanced review of the Lucid Air -- not a perfect car, but easily the best balance of power, handling, ride, comfort, features, structural solidity, and style of the many nice cars I have owned over the years. You brought forward many of the small but significant details of the car (some good and some bad) that so many reviewers have overlooked. I think you have a promising career as an automotive reviewer ahead of you.

Hey Blake, thank you for the great feedback! It is awesome you have both the Air and Model S to enjoy them in their own way. I appreciate your ability to see the pros and cons of both without your bias of being an owner getting in the way. Often times in these reviews, we get lots of pushback when we say anything critical about a car people own. Cheers!

Air GT Owner. Overall a fairly good review, though complaining about user defined performance controls is simply a personal preference, and not worthty of a minus for the review process. The Android Auto feature (for those users) is a disappointment, especially since the LUCID base operating system is Android based. I suppose I'm more upset that Lucid engineers fixed the Carplay visuals, rather than taking on more important features that would actually be helpful, for example turning on the camera system as a dashcam. Having to run an external Garmin mini, really blows, but they made the screen show carplay right. SMH. The phone playing the song vs the car playing the song, I have reported the exact reason this happens and also what fixes it, but sadly it only goes into the "customer reports" list at customer service. The blind spot / turn signal camera and display system, is just something you have to get use to. It's no different than having to get use to looking right to see your speed in a Tesla. Just have to get use to it. Again fairly good review on the ride and comfort of the car. I personally really appreciate that over "oh so many" who just talk about the power and speed....IMO who cares. Range, Luxury, Ride, Exclusiveness are why I got mine. Take care and Good Luck.
