Tesla Model S Vs Lucid Air: Which Pricey Luxury EV Should You Choose? via insideevs.com
Eric Tingwall compares the two luxury vehicles to determine whether Tesla or Lucid builds better luxury EVs. The result, while it’s not black and white, suggests that Lucid may benefit from continued years of experience in production, a trial-and-error journey that Tesla has also had to go through.
“We've laid eyes and hands on enough EVs from startups like Tesla and Rivian to know that first-time automakers don't deliver perfection on the first try, and our 2022 Car of the Year winner [the Lucid Air Grand Touring] is no exception,” Tingwall writes. “After living with our long-term Lucid Air Grand Touring Performance for the past four months, we've uncovered a handful of details that fall short of modern car manufacturing's high standards.
While build quality was nearly perfect on the Model S Plaid — save for a slightly loose upholstery job on one of the rear seats — the publication also states that it hopes Lucid won’t someday cut corners on design like Tesla. The story calls the Lucid Air’s “posh cabin” one of the luxury EV’s best attributes, saying that any simplification or shortcuts taken on its design may make the experience less high quality.
Prospective customers choosing between the Model S Plaid and the Lucid Air Grand Touring may want to heed warnings about build quality, noting carefully that Tesla is the only automaker to build EVs at such scale thus far. There’s no denying that both of these luxury EVs are beautiful, but for the time being, the Model S Plaid may be the safer bet for overall build quality, unless you’re willing to put up with a few issues to be on the cutting-edge of a newer vehicle.
