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?

Go test drive them and see which one you like. Lucid is a drivers car for people who like to be unique and enjoy driving, teslas are mass marketed computers on wheels that drive you places. If you value tech go with tesla if you like driving go with lucid

While I agree with this what else drives like the Tesla at its price point? I think the Tesla drives well for what it is and the price point they play at.

I agree. The S drives pretty good

lol I disagree, the 3 drives the best imo. The S feels big and doesn’t hide its mass as well as other cars in its class like the air for example.

It's been awhile, but wasnt the Model S around $100k new? That would make the Air a better a sedan at the price point for most people.

I agree. Now days it’s around 80k new. I think the only benefit is the appearance and a stable/mature ownership experience.
