CA-based Lucid's Air Sapphire does 0-60 in 1.89 Seconds, Hits 205MPH (Merced: home, live in)

Do they also make the interior even nicer or come loaded with every option currently available and then some? I get the value proposition of the existing Lucid Air trims as they're going for being competitive with Mercedes S-Class and the like for comfort and luxury while also being very fast like the AMG variant--and the Lucid Air in its current trims is already more performance than the Mercedes S-Class AMG and is priced somewhat competitively towards that ~$129,000 for a S-Class AMG for a Lucid Air trim that is luxury and clobbers the AMG in performance. However, this next level of fast at $250K though might be an untested market for full size sedans as this beats out not just top trim of other such vehicles in performance but also in price of a top trim Porsche Panamera Turbo S which starts at $206,800

Still gets you the same speeding ticket too.

I have a really really fast motorcycle that I no longer drive unless I’m at a track like Sonoma.
It just doesn’t want to go slow, not safe for public roads and I’m just too old to race motorcycles so it just sits.
I had the same situation with an old corvette I built so I sold it.

Sounds like these are just to fast for the road.
Hopefully they are more comfortable/luxurious the fast stuff I’m used to.
Mine wear your back out after a short bit.

Bad backs, carpal tunnel syndrome and the wisdom of old age are all incongruous with the fastest bikes out there.

Lost my license twice with a track car and a motorcycle. I'm not buying anything fast anymore. Much cheaper and you'll live longer.

You never know whats going to happen. A guy turned left right in front of me when I was on the gas.

Yep, it make zero sense to have a fast car, now-a-days.

I had a fast car, back in 2006-15. I had to go 30 miles, to get away from everyone, before I could enjoy the car's capabilities.

That got old, so I sold it to a women in Springfield Mo. (She liked the color!)

True. But also your '62 Beetle had more character in one wheel than the entire yearly run of these iPads on wheels combined. Both Tesla and Lucid.

I see Corvetts all the time in the right 2 lanes on the freeway going 60 mph while I'm in the left lane in my Integra going 85.

I've sat in the Lucid Air inside the Lucid store in La Jolla. It's very nice inside. Much nicer than any Tesla.

I've driven my buddy's Tesla Model S Plaid in ludicrous mode. It's the fastest acceleration I've ever experienced in my life, and I've owned/driven just about every exotic car out there, except for Bugatti/K'Segg. It's mind-numbingly quick, and this Lucid is much quicker. Amazing tech.
