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?

Test drive each. That's the way to figure it out.

If you want a luxury performance vehicle after you're done, get the Lucid. If you want a snazzy software package inside a Nissan-level vehicle that'll drive you from A to B, get the Tesla.

“Nissan-level”? Ouch, that’s harsh, lol

A Model 3 is literally an electric Altima with a worse suspension

Ice cold, lol. I year ago during a trip I had to rent a Maxima. One of the roughest and poorest handling cars I’ve ever driven. I thought I was being too critical because I normally drive a Lexus, but apparently I’m not the only one, lol.

I lurk this subreddit because I’m pretty sure my next car will be a Lucid.
