I never heard of it before but MotorTrend just named it car of the year.
Lucid Air Named 2022 MotorTrend Car of the Year
MotorTrend announced today that the Lucid Air has won the 2022 MotorTrend Car of the Year, the first instance in which the initial product from a new automotive brand has been awarded the "Golden Calipers."
The version they evaluated was $139,000 and supposedly has a range of 500 miles. I used to be a fan of MotorTrend but it seems they are following the green trend in an attempt to stay viable.
I, for one, am not paying 139 grand for a car that has no infrastructure to back it up. It may be a great car but I am not going to plan my trips around finding a place I can charge it overnight. Bob

I have been having these very Lucid dreams about owning a car that cost more than my house payments did back when I was making house payments. 😯

The only way I would buy an electric car would be if it was a hybrid. At least you wouldn't have to hunt for an outlet, just a gas station, and they are everywhere, for now.

Motor Trend really knows how to pick them, NOT. Here are a few from the last twenty years. Chevy Volt, Camaro, Chevy Bolt, Chrysler PT cruiser to name a few. Heck back in the late 70’s they picked the Dodge Omni.

Hey!!!! I owned a Dodge Omni back in the day and I kind of liked the car until my mechanic told me that he refused to work on it ever again (after my 4th or 5th visit). He called it a "throw away" car.
