There’s maybe one person on Macrumors who is close to being able to afford a Lucid Air.



Edit: My apologies to all the landlords we have here in our group. Please don’t raise my rent!

MKBHD review.


Sorry, but that looks like a paid advertisement for Lucid. The intro was just yeah. I’m not saying it’s not a nice car, but that was just an advertisement.


He’s comparing the $89,000 Tesla “base” Model S to the upgraded $139,000 Lucid Air GT. You mean for $50,000 more it’s going to be a better car? Shocking! A more reasonable comparison would be comparing the $109,000 Tesla Model S Plaid to the $107,000 Lucid Air Touring.

You underestimate this audience. I bet quite a few people here could easily afford one. I’m not on that list of course ?
