It's not selling because it's not a $160K car
Rented one of these (Grand Touring model) last weekend and I can say exactly why they're not selling: it's simply not a $160K car. Software was buggy. Radio was junk. Navigation was terrible, and no option to use Android Auto or Apple Car Play. No wifi hotspot onboard. A/C can't keep up with the heat coming in through the full canopy glass roof. Changing user profiles on the car disables the entire vehicle for a good 30 seconds. Button layout and switchgear is not user friendly. Pirelli tires were already blistered in two spots after <4K miles. Charging support is extremely weak - they brag about the 900V architecture but that's useless unless you have FUNCTIONING hyper-fast chargers everywhere, which electrify America doesn't. New car smell was so noxious my whole family felt car sick after an hour in the thing. Braking regeneration is so aggressive it throws you into the dash anytime you let off the accelerator. Driver assist features jerk you all over the lane so much I turned them off. A 2019 Benz S-class can be easily had for $70K, so save yourself $90K.

The best of the luxury EVs
I love EVs - have had two Tesla’s and a BMW and the Lucid is my favorite. Beats the Teslas in every way, interior is far more luxurious and spacious and the exterior and overall styling is more modern. The tech that went into the power train is amazing and beats any EV out there. If you’re in the market for a luxury EV you’d be missing out if you didn’t check out a Lucid.

18months of Bliss with my Lucid Air GT
I expected some issues since this is a new car from a new company, I wasn't disappointed. What surprised me was how quickly and frequently those OTA updates arrived to fix things. I do long road trips, often through more rural areas. Thanks to its long range, I can go wihere other EVs fear to tread. The car is comfortable, and easy to drive. My only negative experience was an act of vandalism in Trump country. Service has been quick and responsive. Best vehicle I've owned so I'm thoroughly satisfied with my purchase.

Better than a Tesla comfort-wise
Drives a little better than a Tesla, but both are not near as comfortable as the gas powered Mercedes S500, or even the Audi A8, or going further down the list, not as smooth as the Genesis' luxury sedan
Charging time is outrageous
Going on a trip, allow up to days extra time for charging. You must also allow for traffic. Especially stop and go. Would not recommend this vehicle to anyone. Good for local use only. Overpriced overrated...
