For you Rivian owners have you owned Lucid ? how does it compare. I have rivian R1T for 1 year as of yesterday and put 32k miles on it and it has been great vehicle.
now i got email from Lucid to take delivery of Lucid air Pure, they have discounted them pretty deep . anyone here owned both ? how do they compare driving , range , material quality , software , customer service ?

thanks in advance

I have no personal experience with the Lucid, but I just came here to say that this is one of those cross-shopping experiences that rivals my “should I get the blue Tundra TRD Pro or the murdered-out BMW i8?” situation in 2018.

I applaud you, good sir/madam.

I hope you went with the i8. Those things look cool.

I have an R1S and a Lucid Air ... they are completely different vehicles with different drive characteristics and levels of comfort. If you need an EV sedan, then go for the Air, its far superior to my previous Model S.

How comfortable is lucid ?

Very ... drives much more smoothly than the Rivian (which it should because the R1S is an SUV), but more importantly, drives better than my Model S. The only downside is that it is low, with sloping roofline, so you need to watch your head to get in. Older and larger folks can find this to be difficult.

I've never been in one that's moving, but I sat in a Lucid Air GT at one of their showrooms, and was proper impressed with the interior. One of the nicest vehicles I've spent (limited) time in. If my wife didn't like her car so much, I'd force her to take the Rivian and get myself a Lucid, just so I can have both around to drive.

I have no direct experience, but do recall seeing a post from someone who said that he had sold his Lucid, because he enjoyed driving the R1T more. Maybe just because the R1T was newer, or maybe it was just more fun.
