Send us Fan Mail Hello, Lucid fans! I am delighted to welcome Eddy M. as my guest on this week’s Lucid Driver podcast . Let me preface by pointing out the podcast has hosted the owner of Lucid Sapphire #34; a couple of owners of both Lucid Air and Lucid Gravity ; even a married couple where he had a Lucid Air Grand Touring Dream Edition , and she had a Lucid Gravity Grand Touring Dream Edition! As wonderful as those ownership experiences were for me to bring to the global Lucid community, Eddy represents a new distinction—my first guest who owns two Gravity’s. There can’t be many 2- Gravity household in existence, can there? If you are listening, contact me as you have an open invitation to Lucid Driver podcast. Eddy told me, “I’m a Dad of a growing family with a small child and one on the way. We need the space. I’m a car guy who really appreciates EVs. First bought my wife the Gravity for the space and then was going to buy a Rivian R1S but ultimately went with a second Gravity for the better-quality ride experience and space.

Send us Fan Mail Encore Presentation Hello, Lucid fans! This is Paul. I am delighted to welcome this week’s guest on Lucid Driver Podcast . Bassem, a passionate Lucid Air Touring owner I met on Lucidowners.com. Bassem can offer insights about the Lucid Air that come from a unique perspective versus that of most of us Lucid owners. He uses his Lucid Air as a limousine and spends the majority of his time in his Lucid Air as a professional Limo Driver. However, that’s not the only unique perspective that Bassem can speak from. Bassem says, “I am a firm believer in Lucid from several perspectives. I am always eager to find relevant content especially since you are a seasoned Podcaster, you know there is an audience that is eager to learn more beyond press releases from real people sharing their content. I do share your passions as I have arrived at a similar conclusion to you. My journey with EV's began in 2013 when I purchased a Tesla Model S. Naturally, it was a revolutionary new vehicle platform back then and I have enjoyed it. Since then, I have driven multiple EV’s, so my opinions have had time to mature and for me to understand the nature of driving, owning and taking the time to enjoy an EV. Being also a former Tesla employee working on Battery Systems, it did not take long for me to recognize once Lucid released their Vehicle Architecture alongside actual battery and motor components, that they really took the time to design functional pieces of art that propels the Air. Bassem says, “On the ride home, it would be safe to say, that from Motown to Al Green to Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes make a regular appearance. The ride home is always challenging one, as you realize you've been running on an adrenaline high for the past 10 plus hours, along side all the different conversations and personalities encountered. So, it's a time to roll down the windows and engage Drive Assist!” Are you a Lucid owner with a compelling story to share, contact me at LucidDriverPodcast@gmail.com We'd love to hear from EV/Automotive enthusiasts with stories relevant to Lucid fans at LucidDriverPodcast@gmail.com Like my Lucid Driver podcast Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61575927028097 Check out my world-leading podcast about ocean cruising, The Joy of Cruising Podcast https://www.thejoyofcruisingpodcast.com/

Send us Fan Mail Hello, Lucid fans! I am delighted to welcome Rei Vardi , CEO and founder of Eon as my guest on this week’s Lucid Driver podcast . According to https://www.eonrides.com, Eon is the leading EV car rental company in the US, providing customers with an unmatched driving experience. Rei started Eon in college with his own car and has grown it into a practical solution for reducing emissions in transportation, and enabling a shared economy of electric vehicles that also lowers the carbon footprint of driving. Eon recently added Lucid to its platform. We’ll discuss a wide range of topics relating to EVs, mobility, the shared car economy, and other matters. Rei Vardi is the founder and CEO of Eon, a bootstrapped national EV rental platform he started in 2018 from his dorm room at Boston University - after renting out his dad's Tesla ended in scratched panels, a stranded renter, and one bank robbery. That chaos became the insight behind Eon: a car is a computer on wheels, so let the software run the rental. Today Eon connects renters to thousands of premium EVs across 50+ cities, with no counters, no paperwork, and drivers in the car in 40 seconds. With $0 raised, Eon has paid car owners over $10M, verified 25,000+ drivers, and saved an estimated 16 million pounds of CO₂ - all while staying profitable and growing entirely through word of mouth.

Send us Fan Mail This is an encore episode. Hello, Lucid fans! I am delighted to welcome Michael Moy as my guest on this week’s Lucid Driver podcast . What a story Michael has! He told me, “I retired several years ago after 30 years at various startup companies. I worked with and for Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning [the founders and original executives of Tesla] at three high tech startups. Here’s their story: https://www.cnbc.com/video/2021/02/06/how-tesla-was-founded-martin-eberhard-and-marc-tarpenning-tell-all.html in case this is news to you as it is to many people. Needless to say—I was an early Tesla watcher but from afar. The idea had always been when Tesla opened a New York location—I’d try to get in. But by the time that happened Elon had fired all but one or two people I had worked with. I never did buy a Tesla though I put money down on a Model 3. The last person I knew at Tesla—ended up going to Atieva/Lucid—so I watched to see what she was doing. The Lucid Air was unveiled in 2017 at the NY auto show with a starting price of $60K. The all-glass roof and reclining executive rear seats won me over. This was the car for me. Needless to say, when the car came out at $169K in 2021—I had sticker shock for sure! I ended up ordering the Air Touring in June ‘22 and took delivery on Valentine’s Day 2023. So, 26 months and 40K miles later – I still love the car. It’s my first EV and I’ve set a very high bar for any car I buy in the future. I have been to almost all the Lucid studio and service centers from Tyson Corner to Natick and Boston Seaport. I’ve been to over a dozen lucid events and rallies. I drove from NJ to Tampa and back in 4 days. Absolutely no issues charging the car along 95. Stayed at two hotels with free chargers but otherwise all Electrify America stations. As an active member of the NJ Electric Vehicle Association I’ve attended over a dozen Drive Electric and First Responder events in NJ and PA.” You may recall on Lucid Driver podcast Episode 6 Josh , where guest Josh discussed his Lucid Air Grand Touring appearing in the Netflix miniseries Black Rabbit , set in the New York night club scene starring Jude Law and Jason Bateman. Well Michael’s Air appeared as the double for Josh’s car. Josh’s car was used for the exterior shots and Michael’s car was used for the interior shots. Michael said, “I was nervous when I heard hammering and drilling when they set up the camera gear inside my car!” Are you a Lucid owner with a compelling story to share, contact me at LucidDriverPodcast@gmail.com We'd love to hear from EV/Automotive enthusiasts with stories relevant to Lucid fans at LucidDriverPodcast@gmail.com Like my Lucid Driver podcast Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61575927028097 Check out my world-leading podcast about ocean cruising, The Joy of Cruising Podcast https://www.thejoyofcruisingpodcast.com/

Send us Fan Mail Hello, Lucid fans! I am delighted to welcome Eric Jackson as my guest on this week’s Lucid Driver podcast . Eric and his wife are retired and living in Estero, Florida. Eric told me, “Following a fulfilling career as a studio musician in Los Angeles, I embarked on a new chapter at the age of 40 by pursuing an undergraduate degree in chemical engineering. This transition from my professional focus on efficiency to a personal passion for sustainability and energy independence has been fulfilling. Today, my home and vehicles are powered entirely by a self-sustained energy source, harnessing the power of solar energy, heat pumps, and advanced battery storage. While I once dedicated decades to studying molecular bonds, instead of filling my tank with gasoline, I fill it with gallons of light from the sun. As a committed environmentalist, I take pride in living a life that aligns with the future of clean energy. I was interested in electric vehicles back in 2010 when I heard about Tesla. I purchased my first Tesla in 2013 and my second one in 2017. In 2025, I traded my Tesla in for a 2025 Lucid Grand Touring Air. I loved this car. I loved the range, the safety features, and the breathtaking acceleration. I decided to purchase a Gravity for a number of reasons. My air lease is over in September. We plan to do a lot of traveling from Estero to Austin, Texas, to see our son, daughter-in-law, and 1-year-old grandson. We love the flexibility of the charging, enormous storage, and more safety features. Despite lacking the acceleration of the air, the Gravity remains an impressive vehicle.” Are you a Lucid owner with a compelling story to share, contact me at LucidDriverPodcast@gmail.com We'd love to hear from EV/Automotive enthusiasts with stories relevant to Lucid fans at LucidDriverPodcast@gmail.com Like my Lucid Driver podcast Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61575927028097 Check out my world-leading podcast about ocean cruising, The Joy of Cruising Podcast https://www.thejoyofcruisingpodcast.com/

Send us Fan Mail Hello, Lucid fans! I am delighted to welcome Cole Attisha as my guest on this week’s Lucid Driver podcast . Cole is Staff Writer at Autoblog. I saw an article with videos featuring my next car, a Lucid Gravity Grand Touring—as you know I drive a Lucid Air Touring right now. The article, “ I Drove the 2026 Lucid Gravity Grand Touring at Mudfest : Here’s My Honest On- And Off -Road Review .” The article was great, not just well done but it reinforced my decision, or should I say aspiration. I thought to myself that the author would be a great guest for Lucid Driver podcast, and I appreciate Cole for agreeing to come on. “Cole’s passion for automobiles spans every corner of the industry, from vintage Italian roadsters and “delightfully weird” family haulers to the latest quirky EVs. His enthusiasm isn’t limited to dream cars or nostalgia; having worked in sales for brands including Hyundai, Mazda, and Mercedes-Benz, Cole brings seasoned industry experience to his writing. That background provides a grounded understanding of how cars are bought, sold, and actually lived with, not just how they perform on a spec sheet. Blending curiosity, humor, and firsthand knowledge, Cole approaches every vehicle through the lens of both an enthusiast and a consumer, keeping a sharp eye on what truly matters to drivers today.” Are you a Lucid owner with a compelling story to share, contact me at LucidDriverPodcast@gmail.com We'd love to hear from EV/Automotive enthusiasts with stories relevant to Lucid fans at LucidDriverPodcast@gmail.com Like my Lucid Driver podcast Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61575927028097 Check out my world-leading podcast about ocean cruising, The Joy of Cruising Podcast https://www.thejoyofcruisingpodcast.com/

Send us Fan Mail From a year ago, only my 2nd guest ever on Lucid Driver podcast. Enjoy and contact me to tell your Lucid story! Hello, Lucid fans! This is Paul. I am delighted to welcome Julian Montgomery as my guest on this week’s Lucid Driver podcast. I am so glad I caught up with Julian. You see in the process of researching my Lucid purchase, I suspect that I have watched virtually every Lucid video on YouTube—many of them multiple times! Such was the case with Julian’s content on his channel Julian’s EV Journey. There was something about Julian and his content that spoke to me. Maybe because we share a passion for similar genres of music, although Julian is a professional Composer, Synthesist, and Sound Designer for Film, Television, Video Games and other visual media and well, I…am not. There was even an episode where Julian’s wife sat in the Lucid with him and their interaction about the car felt familiar. So, when I decided that I would launch—pun intended—this podcast featuring Lucid owners, I knew I would reach out to Julian, and I am so glad he agreed to come on the show. Julian hasn’t updated his Lucid channel in a while, but I would urge prospective purchasers to check it out—it was instrumental for me. From Julian’s EV Journey : This channel is used by Julian Montgomery to follow my EV journey. I reserved my first EV which is a Lucid Air Touring in April 2022 and took delivery in March 2023. Since I’ve started diving into the world of EVs I’ve become quite the EV enthusiast. So, as I explore EVs and ultimately drive an EV I will post content aimed at helping others like me learn about EVs specifically focusing on my EV, the Lucid Air Touring.

Send us Fan Mail Hello, Lucid fans! I am delighted to welcome Rubin Ervin as my guest on this week’s Lucid Driver podcast . All Lucid Airs are absolutely beautiful. I’m biased of course but I think it is the prettiest sedan out there. Other than colors, glass versus aluminum roof and wheels, there is little to distinguish one from another. Just a couple of weeks ago we had on the owner of a Lucid Air Sapphire. To most people eyes a Sapphire it looks very much like mine except for the pretty Sapphire Blue color. The Sapphire is $250,000 and mine is much less than half that. Nevertheless, the similarity between Lucid Air models didn’t stop Rubin from doing his best to make his Lucid especially eye-popping and not just on the exterior. He told me, “Shortly after its delivery, I customized the wheels, wrapped the exterior, and installed subwoofers. It is now very much a dream car to me.” I told Rubin, my wife doesn’t know it yet, but I am getting his rims for my car! RUBIN ERVIN is the short guy with the big voice! He doubles as the Announcer and the Warm-up guy for the #1 game show in the country, Family Feud . Rubin started his career having the Slime of his life as a child actor for Nickelodeon Studios and later became a show host for their live shows. As his career progressed, he soon became the life of the party, MC’ing and DJ’ing shows for Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, Nickelodeon Recreation, and many more. As the “Warm-Up Guy” for many shows such as The Bachelor , The Bachelorette , Little Big Shots , 500 Questions , Password , Judge Steve Harvey , and many more, Rubin gets the crowd pumped and ready to have a fantastic time no matter what. You can also hear Rubin’s voice as the announcer for many shows, including Family Feud , Showtime at the Apollo , The Kelly Clarkson Show , and America’s Got Talent .

Send us Fan Mail Hello, Lucid fans! I am delighted to welcome Heath Cox as my guest on this week’s Lucid Driver podcast . Heath is an early adopter of a couple of Lucid Motors vehicles, one of the purchasers of the inaugural 2022 Lucid Air Grand Touring, and then last year picking up the Gravity Dream Edition. Wow, Heath is a role model before we even get a chance to chat! Heath told me, “I've been a Lucid owner since March 2022, starting with an Air Grand Touring as an early adopter; I made the jump to a Gravity Dream Edition in June 2025, again jumping in early on a brand-new platform. Out of that ownership experience, I built LucidTracker ( https://lucidtracker.app ), a free community platform built by an owner, for owners. The free tier is really about bringing Lucid owners together, you can track OTA software rollouts, participate in community leaderboards, and submit software bugs that others can upvote if they're seeing the same thing, which helps surface what's actually impacting the community. Owners who opt in can securely sync their vehicle data from Lucid to share across the community (anonymously if they prefer) and get a high-level view of their own charging sessions and vehicle status. I'm also getting ready to launch LucidTracker+ , a paid tier for owners who want the deep-dive stuff, full trip history with routes and efficiency tracking, detailed charge session analytics, live GPS streaming, and faster sync intervals. I'd can certainty talk about what it's been like being an early adopter on two different Lucid platforms and how that journey led me to build something for the broader Lucid community.” Are you a Lucid owner with a compelling story to share, contact me at LucidDriverPodcast@gmail.com We'd love to hear from EV/Automotive enthusiasts with stories relevant to Lucid fans at LucidDriverPodcast@gmail.com Like my Lucid Driver podcast Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61575927028097 Check out my world-leading podcast about ocean cruising, The Joy of Cruising Podcast https://www.thejoyofcruisingpodcast.com/

Send us Fan Mail Hello, Lucid fans! One year ago, I hosted my first guest on Lucid Driver ! To celebrate the anniversary of this milestone, here is an encore of that episode. Thank Blaine for being the first. This is Paul. I am delighted to welcome Blaine Mathieu. I am honored a tech CEO who happens to be the owner of one of the world’s beautiful vehicles agreed to be my guest on only the second episode of Lucid Driver. From Blaine’s Blog: “Let's get something straight: I am not a professional car reviewer. (If you are looking for that, check out Dan Neil at the WSJ - he's amazing.) I am not even an amateur car reviewer - I have never published a word about cars in my life. What I am is the CEO of a Silicon Valley startup that loves vehicles. My wife is the Head of Product at a different company. Together we have owned every manner of car over the last 20 years including a Nissan 370Z convertible, a 1958 Triumph TR3A (pictured here on the website), a huge Buick Enclave, a plug-in Toyota Prius Prime, a bright green Range Rover Evoque 2-door SUV, and a bunch of things in between. The 2025 Lucid Air Grand Touring is our first fully-electric car, and I thought it would be fun to share our real-world experiences and impressions over the next few years.

Send us Fan Mail Hello, Lucid fans! I am delighted to welcome Lawrence Richardson as my guest on this week’s Lucid Driver podcast . Lawrence is a recent purchaser of a 2025 Lucid Air Grand Touring. Lawrence told me, “I am retired after having worked for thirty something years with a Fortune 500 mining/manufacturing aluminum company. I had assignments in Suriname, South America for 5 years, and Guinea, West Africa for 4 years, and various assignments in several US cities. I am currently living in Atlanta, GA. I spend my time now volunteering, golfing, and gardening/landscaping around the house. My EV experience started in 2014. Coming from a BMW 6 series, I was not in the market for another car. I had heard about Tesla, and was curious, so decided to take a test drive for the hell of it. Big mistake. Figured out a way to afford it and purchased Tesla Model S a few months later. Shortly thereafter became a 2 Tesla household. No gas vehicles or tools since 2015. Moved from Tesla to Mercedes Benz EQS 450+ (current), Nissan Leaf (very briefly), and Rivian R1T (current). Veteran EV road tripper, even before supercharger network widely available.

Send us Fan Mail Hello, Lucid fans! I am delighted to welcome Alphonzo McFarland as my guest on this week’s Lucid Driver podcast . Alphonzo is the creator of McFarland Arts. Alphonzo told me, “I've always had a passion for cars. My father owned a custom 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air—a hot rod featuring small front wheels and dramatic dragster wheels in the back. Though he wasn't around often, that car left a lasting impression on me. I thought it was incredible. As a kid, I drew cars constantly, trying to capture their essence on paper. I could only manage profile views, so I sketched them everywhere: homework assignments, napkins, scraps of paper—anything I could find. Growing older, art became my true passion, but my fascination with cars never faded into the background. At thirteen, I bought my first hobby-grade RC car—a kit you build from the ground up with servos and motors—to understand how vehicles actually worked. I was hooked. I progressed to gas-powered RC cars, and as an artist, I could express myself through custom paint schemes and creative designs. Eventually, I moved into advanced electric RC cars and started racing them seriously. Throughout college, I honed my artistic skills and earned a degree in graphic design and illustration. Later, I transitioned into computer animation, which taught me to visualize objects in motion and three-dimensional space—skills that deepened my understanding of design. Today, I notice that most electric vehicles on the market lack visual imagination. They feel generic. A few months ago, I spotted a car I'd never seen before—a Lucid Air. Its styling was striking: elegant lines, thoughtful proportions, and genuine character. I researched it and became captivated. Since I was already designing AI-generated vehicles online, I decided to experiment with the Lucid platform, exploring creative variations and new possibilities within its design language. That curiosity sparked my current passion: reimagining what the Lucid line of vehicles could become.

Send us Fan Mail Hello, Lucid fans! I am delighted to welcome Joerg Maass as my guest on this week’s Lucid Driver podcast . I “met” Joerg online when I posted some like this celebratory milestone on my Lucid Driver podcast Facebook Group: “ Lucid Driver reached our 60th country today but I have yet to host an international guest.” Well, I’d like to give a big welcome to my first international guest, Jorg Maab of Germany! By the way, in the weeks since reaching 60 countries, we are now up to country #70! Great for the podcast, and in my view a positive sign for Lucid Motors. Joerg told me, “I am 61 years old and a freelance IT consultant specializing in security and operations management. I mainly work for large corporations, currently for Germany’s largest steel producer and a bank. I’m married to a Canadian with two grown up kids, one is currently doing her master’s in biology, and my son plans to join the police force after his voluntary year in social services. I like technology, speed, aeronautics (I was an avid skydiver) and water and am an active sailor, shipping tourists around in a sailboat on a Bavarian lake. I also like history and politics and follow political events closely. I got interested in Lucid when I read about them in some publications and saw pictures of the Air. At the time, I was driving an Alfa Romeo Q4 Veloce, not a slow car by any means, but I was interested in electric cars and thought the Lucid Air might be a good, but expensive, match. I arranged for a test drive in Munich as soon as Lucid came to Germany and was blown away by the Dream Edition. I also test drove cars like the Lotus Emeya, BYD Han, Nio ET7, Pole Star 2 and HiPhi X. None of them compared to the Lucid, so I decided to take the leap and leased my black (with aluminum) Touring in October 2024.

Send us Fan Mail Hello, Lucid fans! I am delighted to welcome Kevin Andrews as my guest on this week’s Lucid Driver podcast . I “met” Kevin online when he posted the following: “Today's NJ Lucid Owners Club Event. My green Air found a green Gravity buddy!” Well, Lucid Airs do not come in green from the plant, so I thought it would be fun to invite Kevin on the podcast, responding, “Wow a unique Air. I’m inviting you to come on Lucid Driver Podcast and talk about it. Mine is Fathom Blue—I’m green with envy.” Kevin agreed as he responded, “Sure, it would be fun.” (Kevin was right.) Kevin, originally from Venezuela told me, “I work in IT leadership in the medical device industry, so my day-to-day is all about technology and making complex systems actually work in the real world. I’ve always had a really strong tech mindset—I’m constantly analyzing, optimizing, and automating everything I can. That carries into my hobbies too. I’m really into cars and try to get on a racetrack at least once a year, although I haven’t taken an EV out on track yet. That same mindset is what drew me to Lucid. I drive a Lucid Air Touring, and I don’t really see it as just a car—it’s more like a high-end tech platform that I get to evaluate every day, both from a systems perspective and a driving perspective. So, I’m excited to talk about what it’s really like to own, where it stands out, and how it compares from both a tech and performance angle.” Similar words to many I have received from Lucid owners who are often in IT, engineering, operations. But don’t lump Kevin in with everyone else. After all it is very unlikely other Lucid owners have a ride quite like his!

Send us Fan Mail Hello, Lucid fans! I am delighted to welcome back Rae Millen as my guest on this week’s Lucid Driver podcast . I hosted Rae back in August 2025 when both his Lucid Gravity and Lucid Driver podcast were both relatively new. Well, that episode, Rae Millin, From Porsche Taycan to Lucid Gravity , Episode 18 went on to become the most downloaded episode in Lucid Driver podcast’s 11-month history. Since that time, I’ve noticed on the many Lucid-related Facebook groups that I frequent, that Rae has become the (Not So) Elder spokesman on behalf of most things Gravity. A level-headed, clearly informed sea of reason, research, and personal experience in an ocean of hyperbole and frantic, panicked but understandable concern on the part of some Gravity owners. There is a lot to learn about Rae, and he obviously is not new to this EV world. Check out that earlier episode to get a sense for Rae’s background. It is my pleasure to catch up with Rae after nine months or so of Gravity ownership.

Send us Fan Mail Hello, Lucid fans! I am delighted to present this encore episode of Rae Millen's episode for two big reasons: 1. It is the highest listened to episode ever in the less than one year history of Lucid Driver podcast, and 2. Ray will be returning as my guest on next week’s Lucid Driver to update us on his Gravity 8 months later. Rae told me, “I come from both a background of cars and of tech. Having been a muscle car fan and owner most of my adult life, I grew interested in EVs as a tech person when Tesla started rolling out in 2012. I test drove a Model S in 2015 and was extremely impressed and almost bought one back then but Dodge flashed the Hellcat in front of me and I went that way instead. Then in 2019 I grew interested again and started looking bc I was tired of paying for gas and knew in my soul the damage those type of cars were doing to the world. Enter Elon introducing the Plaid and I had a day one reservation but thought I'd do my due diligence and investigate other EVs, since Tesla was no longer the only game for performance EV. The Porsche Taycan was just released and was readily available at my local Porsche dealership and after a test drive I was hooked and went that way. What led me to Lucid was that while doing my research, I seriously noticed what they were doing and was impressed with their efficiency and style, but they were too new and I wasn't sure they'd survive. Getting that big investment from the Middle Eastern investors and their continued push to put out great EVs kept me looking and the Gravity completely won me over when they first introduced it. By this point, a Porsche was starting to wear on my body as a daily and my wife and son actually did not like riding in it due to its size and low ride height, so it was time to look at something else anyway. And here I am today owner of the greatest EV SUV in the country today! Also, I am a member of EVHybridNoire and volunteer with Drive Electric Alabama to help with EV education, work with government and businesses to expand charging infrastructure, particularly in in low income and under served communities. I work with our local government up to the mayor of Huntsville Alabama, who drives a Ford Lightning himself and all the way up to the Governor Kay Ivey who has been very supportive of EVs and infrastructure and job growth in this area for Alabama.

Send us Fan Mail Encore episode as I am traveling again. Looking for passionate Lucid owners to share their story with the Lucid community so I can have some episodes ready when I am away. Let me tell your story! Hello, Lucid fans! I am delighted to welcome Clayton Law as my guest on this week’s Lucid Driver podcast. Clayton told me, “I grew up with a lot of financial instability in my family. High end cars were never something I aspired to have because it never felt in reach. My first car I got to drive regularly was an early 90's Chrysler New Yorker which felt like luxury to me. We moved up to a 2008 Corolla, also a car I loved. When I met my husband in 2010, he had a 2001 Lexus LS430 which really made me curious about luxury vehicles in general. We traded that for a 2012 Volt in Jan 2012 and have loved living with EVs since. We purchased a 2019 Bolt when they came out, but I sold it after I was having battery issues. We finally upgraded into a 23 Lucid Air in December '23 and ordered a Gravity as soon as they became available. We've had a few issues, but we absolutely love Lucid - as does every other owner I've met. We've always been early adopters for tech in general, and my husband has had a lot of interesting experiences working for Microsoft and Sony Pictures as well. I started my YouTube channel as a way to share my interest in helping Lucid owners get information and answers that sometimes you can't get from Lucid themselves, but it's also been a way for us to share our life after my husband waited about 5 years for a liver transplant. Moving into the Lucid was perfect timing as we spent a lot of time traveling for appointments and needing a comfortable space away from home.” Are you a Lucid owner with a compelling story to share, contact me at LucidDriverPodcast@gmail.com We'd love to hear from EV/Automotive enthusiasts with stories relevant to Lucid fans at LucidDriverPodcast@gmail.com Like my Lucid Driver podcast Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61575927028097 Check out my world-leading podcast about ocean cruising, The Joy of Cruising Podcast https://www.thejoyofcruisingpodcast.com/
