i would rate the lucid air a much better overall package than the plaid, even if it's a bit slower.

sure the plaid is incredibly fast and the speed/$ is very high. it's been discussed ad nauseam on here. there's more to cars than just being fast though. we've also discussed ad nauseam all the quality issues, the yoke, the lack of physical controls, etc. but if rocket straight line speed is the primary focus of a buyer for minimum $, sure, get a plaid. tons of cars (even camaros, corvettes and a cayenne) are faster on the ring though... the 911 GT2 RS is nearly a minute faster.

Damn. I feel exactly the same way. It's not about the speed, at least for me, it's the way they drive. Every ICE I drive or drive in as a passenger feels dated, I'm talking new cars. Other than owning an ICE as a weekend or spare car, I can't go back

It is one thing discussing imaginary things on forums, reality in real life is very different.
I was looking at getting Lucid Air when it appears in Austria later on this year, but after reading that is it really not completed yet, I would rather wait for them to mature. They are where Tesla was in 2014.

I doubt that... Lucid Air is preproduction right now, and lots of issues with infotainment being slow, crashing, their autopilot mode does not work, etc.

2. SW17LS said it was good value compared to 'hypercars' which is what i was responding to.
while it's an amazing TECHNICAL feat, it's pretty pointless to be honest. i'd much rather have a car that's that fast be a more agile great looking coupe.
the model X plaid is even more insane for a very unique customer.

The Plaid is a very good value for the performance it brings to the table.

I have very little interest in a coupe, few people do which is why hardly anybody makes them anymore.

Speaking of being a four door sedan, this past weekend was the first time I actually sat in the back seat (although while it wasn't moving). The back seats are actually really comfortable to me and it had really good leg room. The clear roof was also pretty cool since in the driver's seat you really can't see it. With that said, my kids did say it was a little bumpy in the back seat but I wouldn't expect it not to be given the sporty suspension.
