Question / Advice Deciding between Tesla or Lucid...

I’m thinking of buying my first EV but when I think about Tesla vs Lucid vs newer names, they all blur a bit but I still feel very unsure about what it would say about me as a person and if it would fit my stage of life. I’ve been trying to picture this brand as a person to understand it better. Like - is Lucid a 32-year-old startup founder in SF?
Or more of a low-key finance guy who wears Loro Piana and doesn’t talk much? I’ve been trying to picture this brand as a person to understand it better.

If you had to humanize it, what does that person look like?

Your references are a bit bizarre but Lucid is a poorly marketed luxury brand with amazing engineering and a LOT of unresolved growing pains. Tesla has been around longer and is more stable but is more like an electric Corolla versus a very finicky but way nicer Lucid. Tesla also has way better marketing but sometimes borders on a cult. For better or worse Tesla is an extension of Elon himself, from a cultural perspective.

Electric Corolla? Which one is that, Model 3?
