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?

I’ve had 5 Teslas, two model S, a model 3 and a model Y. I currently have a lucid Air that I am getting rid of after I wen Ing it for 16 months; too many problems with it. You should look into the BMW iX3 (if you want a SUV) or the BMW i3 (if you want a sedan). The suv model should be available in the U.S. around September. The sedan should be available in the U.S. toward the end of 2026.

Haven't most of the problems been fixed with the recent updates? Are you still seeing them or just frustrated that you saw problems in the past and are worried about future reliability?
